Space - ether

Aristotle defines space as - A container of things- a sort of succession of all- inclusive envelopes, from what is ‘within the limits of the sky’ to the very smallest, rather like Russian dolls. "Space is, therefore, of necessity, a hollow, limited externally and filled up internally." There is no empty space everything has its position, its location, its plane.

Our Vedic Insight provides a beautiful hypothesis of relationship of (time) Kala and Space. This leads to basic principle of creation, i.e., sculpture, architecture, music, etc. Space is the ultimate substance, which is filled with minutest particles called Paramanu (nucleus). Every paramanu is a minute space possessing energy. It is absolute or abstraction of all visual and aural phenomena of the universe or the ultimate form. The space is luminous, as the particles are always emitting light. This is called foetus or germ, the basic material for the emergence of subtle forms in the micro as well as macro spaces.

Every space possesses a unique quality of experiencing. It is hypersensitive, and super potential. For the experience to take form, the space goes into self-spin. It vibrates. The effective force of the space is called Kala, the absolute Time. This happens to be the intrinsic property of space. This is contained in all animate objects of nature. What is actually experienced by the space is vibrated into a form within. This space is sensitive enough to order these vibrations into rhythms and to evolve itself into the desired forms—rhythmically structured & aesthetically alluring. This is its unique quality.

Architecture today is so rigid, then the statement of building a house, which was a sacred act and the house was considered a living organism, can only become a matter of discussion. What we need today is a perfect manifestation of our old heritage, i.e., Vedic Architecture (Vastu) and the space which suits today’s context, thus, the emergence of Vastutecture as a need.

Thus, to make architectural design more and more perfect we architects should start following Vastutecture and sufficient thought must be given to the subtle energy fields, grids and zones within and around the forms and buildings which would help the design of spaces to grow as per the energy moulds.

The concept of Vastu Shastra (energy manifestation) and Space Creation together as Vastutecture can have enormous impact on our entire outlook on health and healing. Following Vastutecture or Vastu Spaces may not add years to our life, but definitely," it will add life to our remaining years."
