In India it is said that Vaastu and Feng Shui are like grandfather and grandson. Vaastu, pre-dating Feng Shui by 3,000 years, describes the environment we live in, the environment through which we move along the path of our soul. As such, it is the single most important ingredient in your life, the determining factor on your spiritual path. Thousands of years ago the maharishis wrote down their understanding of the cosmic forces that rule the world in ancient palm leaf books that have come down to the present day. Living successfully and in harmony with the world is a matter of attuning ourselves with these forces, creating a natural architecture.
