"The Sanskrit word V?stu means a dwelling or a house with a corresponding plot of land. The underlying word is Vas, that is, ""to dwell, live, stay, or reside"". V?stu Sh?stra is the ancient Indian science of direction that combines all the five elements of nature (Pancha-bhut?s: earth, water, fire, wind and the sky), and align these elements with the man and the material. The aim of V?stu Sh?stra is to create a congenial setting or a place to live or to work, in the most scientific way, taking advantages bestowed by these five elements of the nature and thereby paving the way for enhanced health, wealth, prosperity and happiness for the occupants in a peaceful and harmonious environment. V?stu is the energy contained in the Universe, which is not visible to the eyes.V?stu is mentioned in the Vedas. The principal source for V?stu Sh?stra within the Vedas is the Sthapatya Veda, which deals explicitly with architecture as a part of the Atharva Veda. Scholars well-versed in V?stu Sh?stra, as described in Sthapatya Veda are called true ‘Sthapatis’. V?stu Sh?stra can be considered to be an applied-science approach that evolved continuously over a period of at least 2500 years, producing a large number of texts, like Vishwakarma Prak?sh, Sthapatya Veda, Brihat Samhita, M?nas?ra, Mayamata, and Apar?jitaprcch?, etc.Whereas the V?stu Sh?stra is the most ancient and the most established Vedic science of architecture, yet there are many people in the world these days who do not have a genuine knowledge of this Sh?stra.In the contemporary world including India, many V?stu consultants ""promote superstition in the name of “V?stu science"". Consultants, who include ""quacks, priests and astrologers"" fueled by greed, are marketing pseudoscience and superstition in the name of V?stu Sh?stra. They have little knowledge of what the historic and scientific V?stu Sh?stra texts actually teach, and they project it to the people as a ""religious tradition"" or in their business interests, rather than ground it in any ""genuine architectural theory"" therein.V?stu, is the precise Vedic Science of Architecture and no mumbo jumbo.This book has been authored by me with a genuine aim to project the exact Vedic science of V?stu Sh?stra for the benefit of the readers, as against the pseudoscience.This book consists of 18 chapters.The Book is humbly dedicated to Lord Vishwakarma: The Divine Architect, Artisan, and Engineer of the Universe. The author sincerely believes that a book of this nature will be appreciated by all the readers across the globe who wish to get a deep insight into genuine and authenticated aspects of V?stu Science and its applications to real situations."
