Vāstu Śāstra — Building in Harmony with Life
From Vāstu Śāstra — The Science of Architecture, taught by Acharya T Krishnatrey. This lesson is free to read.
How do you lay out a house, a temple, or a whole city so that it is **sound, beautiful, and in harmony with sun, wind and land**? For two thousand years, India answered with **Vāstu Śāstra** — the Vedic science of *vāstu*, "dwelling." It gave the world the **vāstu-puruṣa-maṇḍala**, a rigorous system of **proportion**, and the design canons behind India's greatest temples. <pre data-block="quote">A building is a diagram of the cosmos in stone — the same order that governs the heavens, laid on the ground as a plan. — the guiding vision of the śilpa tradition</pre>
