Before proving a hypothesis scientifically it should first

stated in ambiguous way, Once it is done it can be proved

either (a) by deducting it logically from one or some

established laws and theories of science, or (b) by testing

the validity of the hypothesis by observing the phenomenon

in a sufficient number of cases, It is seen that both the

approaches are apparently used by the proponents to proverules of vastu even though wrong fully.

3. How a hypothesis is scientifically

1. INTRODUCTION

Practice of " Vastu Shastra" or "Vastu" in short which had been developed

in ancient India is spreading like wild fire now-a-days is an elaboration of

a small part of ancient practice of Vastu Shastra, This part was related to

the fortune of occupants. owner of a building, Other parts which are found

scientifically valid are normally ignored and not practiced now-a-days

(e.g.) accurate determination of geographic north which may be different

from magnetic north, Proponents of this part (called Vastu) of ancient

vastu, Shastra hail from various professions like law, medicine, Civil

Engineering or architecture, Most of them normally practice as "Vastu

Pandits" applying certain accepted rules with some variations, The term "

Vastu in this paper refers to those rules which are practiced by "Vastu" - -

Is " Vastu" Relevants In Modern Context ?

It is always advocated by the propoments of the shastra that any Vastu

rule can be proved to be scientific, based on the present day knowledge

of science even though these rules are out-come of revealation by

regent visionaries of ancient India, While trying to prove any vastu rule

scientifically they resort to unscientific approach. This recentdevelopment totally related to the practice of architecture calls for

serious investigation from the part of architect revealing the scientific

status of this subject. This is because any untruthful guidance to the

people of planning of their building may lead to wastage in term of design

quality as well was money.

(b) Vastu and Sun rays :

"Vastu and the science of climatology"

The sun emits two types of rays ; ultra violate and infrared .These rays have various effects on the human body and environment .

This is one of the basic principal of the vastu shastra . The sun emits

ultra violet rays in the morning hours , which have good effect on human

body and the environment - surrounding to him . These rays havetendency to kill bacteria . This is way the kitchen is preferred in eastern

side . It is also good to have morning rays fall on our eye and which is

why the kitchen platform should be oriented towards eastern side so that

while cooking food ultraviolet rays will enter the eyes . The sun emitsinfra red rays during evening hours which are harmful . Water bodies

placed at South West corners are therefore not desirable the reflected

infra red rays from the water body in this direction enter the house and

have adverse effect on human body .

Criticism:

It is well established fact that nervous system of the human

body communicates with the help of electric impulses , thus

producing electro - magnetic field around the part of the body .

Muscles also produce electrical potential . Activity of human

being is primarily controlled by the electrical and chemical

activity of the body . Any movement of charge , however small

will produce electrical field around the direction of movement,

Again any surrounding magnetic field will, thus have an effecton the electrical activity of parts of human body, But

investigation of the statements quoted in the above paragraph

generates certain questions:
