Why this word is great
VASTU — [Noun] A traditional Indian system of architecture prescribing principles for constructing and arranging buildings in harmony with natural and spiritual forces. From Sanskrit वास्तु (vā́stu, "homestead, house, building, site"). Unlike feng shui, which charts the mutable flow of ambient qi, or secular architecture, which prioritizes technical and aesthetic resolution, Vastu is a prescriptive cosmology, a geometric mandala imposed upon the earth. It is the kitchen fire perpetually facing southeast, the heavy granary settled firmly in the southwest, and the correctly placed central brahmasthan holding a resonant silence—a quiet testament that a wall built true can make a soul stand upright.
