Importance
of Shape
Every shape in
nature has definite role to play.
Environmental circumstances and conditions
dictate shape, and other qualities of living and non-living entities.
The right angle
represents the existence, a thought (purush) and the sphere represents the
shadow of existence, a sentiment (prakriti).
The right angle
with the spiral flow of energy forms the sacred and growing shape.
The helix or the
spiral has been considered as a shape that is union of right angle and a sphere.
The circle
represents a state of flux, the expanding energy from it's centre evolving it's
shape, ultimately culminating in the square.
Squares and
rectangles represent dynamically balanced figures and shapes.
Squares and rectangles match their axes with
geo-magnetic axis.
Force lines of
gravitation and magnetism do not form any zigzag pattern in square and
rectangle.
The flow of
elementary particles through such figures will hardly intersect the network of
force lines.
This will lead to
a healthy, good and salubrious cosmic environment.
The most prefered
shape in the vastushastra is square as it does justice to all the eight
directions. The square symbolises order, stability, and the final state of
evolving life. It is perfection beyond life and death. The essence of the
square is retained by any mandala as long as the area is kept unaltered. It
embodies prithvai tatwa which in turn symbolises shabda (speech), sparsha
(touch), roop (shape), rasa (taste), and gandha (smell), the entities catalysts
of wordly pleasures.
Rectangles with
the minor axis along the east-west direction and major axis along the
north-south will have the least lateral perimeter exposure to the sun,
resulting in cooler and shadow sections, whereas in the reverse case where the
minor axis is along the north-south direction, a very large perimeter gets
exposed to the sun which is objectionable in vastushastra.
Cosmic
Any excessively
high temperature characteristics create disturbance in magnetic force lines,
imparting them with random zigzag pathways leading to cosmic hazards. Hence in
old structures, thick walls are found on the south side which has outstanding
characteristics to resist radiation effects.
Preferred shapes are 40 feet x 45 feet; 10 feet x 20 feet; 10 feet x 30 feet; 10 feet x 40 feet
