vAstu is an analysis of life-systems, energies, aesthetics and proportions. It is one of the oldest living systems of design and energy in the world. Some of this knowledge was written down in the Vedas over 3000 years ago. This shows us that from time immemorial, the earliest inhabitants of the planet have always built with a high level of sensitivity and in consonance with natural energies. The foundation of this ancient knowledge was built on a deep connection and reverence to the environment; an awareness that we are connected to a larger whole; a balance between the masculine and feminine and an extraordinary awareness of our inner creative processes and alignment.
Our country has a very long history of extremely tasteful, aesthetic, innovative, and stunning buildings, sculptures and craft work. There is also a powerful history of science and technology that goes back over 10,000 years which has examples of highly sophisticated metallurgy, material manufacture and production processes. Systematically, all this information was either distorted and hijacked for foreign consumption or destroyed at its very roots. Today, many of the indigenous processes have been lost or replaced by so called modern methods imported from the West. However, many aspects of this tradition still lie unchanged in many parts of the country.
We are happy to host our sixth round of vAstu introductory course this February. Registrations are open.
