What is Vastu:
Vastu is a composite whole or professional blend of five elements -- Earth, Water, Ether, Air and Fire. Their equitable proportions create bioelectric magnetic energy, which bestows health, wealth and prosperity.

Vastu Shastra is an ancient art and science, containing principles and practices of constructing buildings that ensures a harmonious balance between man and nature and thereby brings all round happiness, health, wealth and prosperity. The traditional practitioners of Vastu were called Vastushastris whose area of knowledge extended from philosophy to astronomy.

The Vastu science is founded upon the laws of nature. The equilibrium we observe in the nature is easily perceivable by us in all-moving bodies, but unfortunately we are unable to note this equilibrium in static bodies. The basic source of energy of the whole world is stored at North and South Pole. It flows uninterruptedly from North Pole to South Pole in the form of magnetic waves. Therefore Southward portion of every building should be higher than the northward portion so that there may not be any hindrance to the flow of magnetic waves.

The Original story according to Hindu Vedas is that it finds its origin in one of Veda called the Stapatya Veda, a part of the Atharva Veda. Legend has it that Lord Brahma passed on this knowledge to Lord Shiva, who in turn passed it on to Sage Vishwakarma and there onwards, it has been carried down to the generations. It is the equivalent of architecture plus a result oriented field to assure harmony with the universal rhythm of creation, resulting in health, wealth, prosperity, wisdom and much more to members of society. Thus Vastu Shastra has evolved over thousands of years, out of experience and foresight of ancient Sages of India and is believed to be very valuable for the well being of mankind.
