In ancient Vastu Shastra, land testing was not superstition. It was a practical method to check soil strength, drainage, hygiene, shape, slope, and surrounding energy before building a home. Today usually buy ready plots, houses, or apartments, so they don’t dig pits or test soil by hand. But the core principles are still very relevant. What Vastu checked earlier, modern systems check today through: - Soil and foundation reports - Drainage and flood-zone maps - Plot shape and grading plans - Surroundings, moisture, and air quality Vastu adds awareness and intuition to these modern checks. Even if you live in an apartment or condo, this knowledge helps you: Avoid damp, unhealthy, or poorly drained properties Understand why slope, shape, and surroundings matter Make calmer, wiser property decisions So how should we use Vastu today? Not with fear - but with understanding. Vastu helps you observe, ask the right questions, and choose better living spaces.
