Drawing from over 25 years of professional practice across North America-and grounded in both modern science and ancient Vedic planning principles-this book reframes Vaastu not as superstition or belief, but as an early form of environmental intelligence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlending architecture, sustainability, human behavior, and decision-making, Mathur demonstrates how orientation, proportion, natural forces, and spatial hierarchy influence not only buildings-but the people who inhabit them.
