|
|
Oh
God of structures and building, we are your devotees. Listen
our prayer, make us free of disease, give wealth and prosperity,
help the well being of all persons and animals living in
the house.

| Everything
in this world is made of five fundamental elements - Earth,
Water, Fire, Wind and Sky. Principles of Vaastu Shastra are
mainly dependent on the arrangement of five essential
elements of the world i.e. Earth, Water, Fire, Air & sky
in their proper order and proportions to have better living
conditions in a building. |
