What is the relationship between the Vastu Purusha Mandala and Modern Science?
The Vaastu Purush Mandal can be interpreted in terms of two scientific concepts :
- Analysis of changing directional solar energy flux superimposed on North-South geo-magnetic flux and the resultant energy fields.
- Interaction of elementary particle flux with North-South electromagnetic field lines.
The term Jaivic Urja (organic energy) in ancient scripts refers to the North-South geomagnetic flux. These field lines orient and fix energy centres in living organism.
This eternal flow defines, propagates and directs the ‘existence’ at a cellular level in all living entities. The Pranic Urja (Cosmic energy) refers to highly energetic solar energy flux, the intensity of which varies with the relative position of
The dark portion of the solar disk indicates the relative intensity of solar flux received by the earth, i.e., from the South direction the earth receives the maximum amount of solar energy.
The ‘deities’ governing various directions in Vaastu-Purush-Mandal denote the positive or negative confluence of the Jaivic Urja and Pranic Urja fluxes brought about by changing position of the sun in its daily journey through the sky.
The South-East (Agni), South (Yama) and South-West (Gagan) are mythologically represented as (Shiv-Tandav) or the demonic dance. The North (Som), North-East (Ish) and East (Aditya) are represented as (Chid-Vilas), or the mind-play. As such, the North-East is termed as the source of all energies and the South-West is termed as the sink of all the energies. The sector connecting North-East to South-West is assumed to be the Life-diagonal or the Energy-diagonal defining the borderline between the zones of good effects and bad effects.
