It is ironic that despite unimaginable technological
advancement & progress human life is far more miserable than what it was.
Starvation, death, destruction, war, nuclear holocaust & proliferation,
ecological imbalance, environmental degradation, global warming, all are
synonymous with modern civilization. The reason behind is that modern man has
moved far away from nature. The digitized & synthetic way of life is
leading the man towards confusion & chaos far away from fulfillment &
contentment.The emphasis of modern architect which is based on utilitarian view
of life, is only on efficiency and
outward elegance. That is why it is relentlessly constructing lifeless concrete
jungles.
The basis of modern science is physical energy in its all
forms which is measurable. The emphasis of Vaastushastra is on oneness of
inherent universal energy, which is immeasurable, invisible to naked eyes,
which manifests itself in many forms. It is the basis to define all the
theories to construct any building, colonies, towns, city, and temples. The
central emphasis being on harmonizing balancing & dynamic planning of all
the forms of natural energies with our own energy in relation to place where we
live and work to achieve Sat- Chit – Anand
i.e. euphoria, the eternal bliss.
