Modern Practices of the 21st Century that Re-Iterate Practices of Engaging ‘Prana’ & ‘Nadi’ in Vastu Shasthra

Author : Ashaank Pereira and Dr. Nischay N Gowda

Abstract

Vaastu Shastra, an ancient Indian architectural and planning system, seeks to achieve harmonious and balanced environments through building design and construction. Vastu, founded on Hindu and Vedic concepts, emphasises qualities such as well-being, prosperity, and spiritual harmony by aligning structures with certain cardinal directions and incorporating natural materials based on spiritual text. Two particularly important princples in Vastu Shashtra is the concept of "Prana," or life force energy, which runs through channels known as "Nadi." Yoga, sound healing, and the strategic use of colours and materials all help to promote Prana. Modern research shows that these habits improve well-being and productivity. This article investigates the integration of Vaastu principles with current architectural methods, focusing on the role of sound, notably through Kirtan and Mantras, in improving spatial energy and promoting a sense of community & mental clarity.
