Vastu Shastra is not merely an art but a definite science in itself. This book has made an excellent effort to establish this fact. The book attempts to highlight the principles of Vastu science and its application in designing of the built environment to enhance the quality of life. This science is still relevant and effective in the modern life-changing styles of Architecture with the universal application of its principles. The author has tried to justify that Vastu principles are much in need in the 21st century in view of rapid advancements man is making in other fields without compensating on ecology front, which forms the basis of Vastu. In the end, an attempt has been made to give a compound solution to the problem of Vastu-based planning.

India has a rich history of scientific accomplishments. In the fifth century, nearly one millennium before Copernicus, the Indian astronomer and mathematician Aryabhata theorized that the earth spins on its axis. Likewise, in the twentieth century physicist Meghnad Saha’s ionization equation opened the door to stellar astrophysics. But India’s scientific achievements have occurred as flashes of brilliance rather than as a clear trajectory of progress. So how did India, with its historic university system and excellent observatories, lose its scientific edge? Cosmologist, founder director of the Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics, and science fiction author Jayant V. Narlikar tracks the highs and lows of Indian science across the millennia, distinguishing fact from fiction. Through a lively narrative of breakthroughs and failures, he explores the glories of India’s scientific advances and questions the more fanciful so-called discoveries. His essays are invigorated by his excitement for new findings, and he argues passionately for preserving the true scientific temperament instead of granting legitimacy to such pseudosciences as astrology. Above all, Narlikar raises issues that both the layperson and the scientist need to consider as India seeks to lead the world in information technology and biotechnology.

Which colour should be used in websites to enhance the business? In what direction should the images on a webpage be placed so as to have the maximum number of enquiries? We are living in the era of accelerated scientific and technological progress for which the computer and Internet are playing the major roles. Keeping the essence of growth and necessity of ancient knowledge, this book lays down the principles of designing websites using our ancient Vedic concepts of Vastu Shastra to enhance our growth on the net. This book deals with a very new subject -- Web Vastu, which is a fusion of the modern computer science with the Indian ancient science of directions (ie: Vastu Shastra). The world comprises five basic elements (Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space), also known as the Paanchbhootas. Similarly, every website has five elements and any disturbances in any of these established elements can affect the performance of the website business directly or indirectly and this is what is introduced in this book.

Vastushastra is a science of higher dimension. The concepts therein are based on practical observations, research and development spanning over hundreds of years, and are not derivatives of any speculative teleology. Vastushastra effectively manipulates the web of cosmic energy for the betterment of humankind.

In this book, the authors stress the importance of Darshanshastra in Vastushastra studies, since Vastushastra, Yogashastra, astrology, Ayurveda, and Sangeet are sub-branches of Darshanshastra.

First published in 1925 THE OLD STRAIGHT TRACK remains the most important source for the study of ancient tracks or leys that criss-cross the British Isles- a fascinating system which was old when the Romans came to Britain. First in the Herefordshire countryside, and later throughout Britain, Alfred Watkins noticed that beacon hills, mounds, earthworks, moats and old churches built on pagan sites seemed to fall in straight lines. His investigation convinced him that Britain was covered with a vast network of straight tracks, aligned with either the sun or the path of a star. Although traces of this network can be found all over the country, the principles behind the ley system remain a mystery. Are they the legacy of a prehistoric scientific knowledge which is now all but lost? And was their purpose secular or religious?
