VASTUSHASTRA has fascinated some and irritated others but it has intrigued everybody. This ancient science deals with architecture at the material and psychological levels. Its tenets have a strong scientific and even sociological basis. There is a wealth of information in Vastushastra that only a serious study can unearth. But it should not be forgotten that the tenets - the do and don'ts - were written in a much simpler time. How far is the concept relevant now? Is there a scope for compromise? How far can we compromise? People who have not even heard of Vastushastra flourish. The book Vastushastra and the 21st century tries to answer all these questions and more, it also takes a peep into the soul of Vastushastra and delves into the reasoning behind the ancient genre of architecture. The book has a reassuring blend that is designed for modern day sceptics who want to believe in Vastu but don't consider it science. The book not only convinces readers of the solid foundation of this ancient discipline but also brings out its relvance in the present context.
