Man has discovered how to improve upon the living conditions of his habitat for prosperity and how to live with minimum strife and tension, with the aid of Vastu Shastra. Vastu also guides us on how to live in harmony with our surroundings by arranging our environment. This book gives useful practical tips and advice on how to create a healthy and harmonious living and working environment. In the building techniques drastic changes were made by man under the influence of so called modern architecture, resulting in forgetting the edifice science of Vastu Shastra, the rules and design laid down by the great sages and seers. These rules & regulations were broken during the World Wars. Now it is still not too late to realize that if the basic principles of Vastu Shastra are followed in selection of site and construc-tion of buildings, giving a proper place to the five elements of nature in their structure & living environ-ment, people can get peace and harmony in their homes and business premises. In this volume the Author has tried to give full justice in explaining the application of Vastu Shastra (the edifice science) and how to apply the principles of Vastu Shastra in Modern Architecture and make the Modern Living comfortable and tension free. This book of knowledge is with full ‘Parampara’ explanations in order to establish that the nature, man and product are within evolutionary network guided by performance standards. Vedic knowledge is not a question of research. Our research work is imperfect because we are researching things with imperfect senses. We have to accept perfect knowledge which comes down from the proper sources stated in the Bhagavad Geeta :- “I was born in the darkest ignorance, and my spiritual master opened my eyes with the touch of knowledge.”
