'Vas' means 'to dwell' or 'to occupy'. Vasthu means 'dwelling place.' Vasthu Sastra is the set of guidelines prescribed by the Rishis or learned men of ancient India for planning and constructing our dwelling places which range from our homes, cities, states, countries and eventually extend to our planet and the universe.
Nature consists of Panchabhutam, the five elements –
Akasham or Sky, Vaayu or Air, Agni or Fire, Bhumi or Earth and Jalam or Water.
The Sastras or the ancient Indian texts on science tell us that cosmic energy has a specific influence on living beings.
Five elements reside in nature in specific proportions. Vasthu Sastra involves the alignment of these five basic elements according to the law of nature. The effects of these five elements have to be studied to appreciate the science of Vasthu in its pure form and also to pacify skeptics who question the efficiency and validity of Vasthu Sastra.
Plants and animals live in perfect harmony with nature. But we human beings, the superior beings that inhabit the earth, have forgotten how to keep peace with our surroundings. If we can modify our homes to harness the energy of the cosmos in such a way that our homes are in complete harmony with our bodies it can help us to succeed in all our endeavors. Due to the magnetic properties of the earth, the needle of a compass always points to the north.
Since Vasthu is based on the permanent property of the earth namely inclination towards the north, the effect of Vasthu is universal. Which means the effect of Vasthu does not merely extend to the people of India or to the followers of Hinduism!
The Vasthusasthram has developed over generations as a result of observations of the influence of the SUN and the MAGNETIC fields on earth and living bodies, mentally and physically.
For any problems that you may be having with your health, mental and body peace, it is recommended that you construct buildings "as per the principals of Vasthusasthram - THE LAW OF NATURE

It's spelled Vastu, and it is the vedic art of placement -- similar to Feng Shui--but different as well. I did a google search, "vastu, definition" you might find the results interesting.
