The causative nature of the five elements: Water, Air, Fire, Earth and Space are the key to the study and practice of MahaVastu™.

The foundation of MahaVastu™ is Sankhya Darshan (Indian Metaphysics), which is the basis of all Indian sciences like Yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra and many more.
The entire Universe whether it is stars, planets, moons, or any form of life, is made up of these five elements. In buildings each direction is dominated by one element – a balanced state being the cause of positive, and an imbalanced state the cause of negative effects.

It is the balance or imbalance among these Panchtattva that makes one’s Space a virtual heaven or hell.

An underground water tank in South Zone will cause anxiety, fire-accidents, restlessness and disturbed sleep. Similarly, the fire placed in North Zone (Zone of Water) will block new opportunities, receipt of payments and lack of orders, as they are attributes of this Zone. So here in these examples, you can see how an imbalanced state of elements in a building creates problematic real-life situations.

Water

It is associated with conception of new ideas, clarity of thoughts, creation of new vision, flowing of new opportunities in your life, healing energy, immunity and restoration of health. Water dominates the North direction in buildings.

Balanced State
When Water is in balanced state in a building, the people in such buildings are able to see the larger picture of life. Though their attitude towards life becomes spiritual and philosophical they are at the core, essentially worldly beings.

Air

Air represents growth in your life. It is also associated with movement, especially rotational movement, so it brings refreshment, fun, joy and happiness in life. This element dominates the East. The Chinese call it the Wood element.

Balanced State
Air gives you the courage to try new things, take risks for your growth and to explore your inner-self. You get to meet people who pave the way for your growth and you perform impressively.

Fire

Fire is the driving force behind all life processes and thus is equated with money in modern era. It can transform your life with confidence and enthusiasm. South is the direction of Fire.

Balanced State
In its balanced state, Fire brings you fame and recognition among the masses. It gives you zeal, power, strength, confidence and money, which become the driving force behind life and its processes.

Earth

Mother Earth gives stability, balance, infinite patience and maturity in character are imbued by this element. Earth dominates the center and diagonal directions in every built-up Space.

Balanced State
When balanced, this element induces stability in your life – be it your career, behavior, relationships, or results of your efforts. It encourages towards a feeling of peace and harmony with the entire world – especially with those related by blood.

Space

Space represents expansion, enhancement, extension, spread, communication and even thought process (Mental Space). Space dominates the Western direction. The Chinese call it the Metal element owing to perfect space configuration in metals (Atomic Structure).

Balanced State
In a balanced state, Space gives you the charge of your destiny. It gives you a sense of direction and the ability to get organized, ensuring that you excel in all that you do. Space gives you the knowledge and awareness to understand new, creative and beneficial ideas.
