Born of the Hindu understanding of universal forces that informs yoga, vaastu is the human expression of life's impulse to harmonize itself with the cosmos. Its codified tenets were destroyed in medieval times by invaders in North India, but vaastu -- the Indian equivalent of Feng Shui -- lived on in oral tradition and buried in other treatises. The rediscovery of these texts in the 1930s has led to a modern revival of vaastu in India; this book introduces it at last to the West.
