VASTU: 5 MAHABHUTE
The whole universe is made up of five basic
elements, the earth, water, fire, air and space. Our
body is also made up of these five basic elements
of nature.
Vastu teaches the individual to live in balance and
harmony with the panchamahabhootas.
Each of these five basic elements is energetically
associated with a particular direction.
