Before we begin to understand the elements of Vastu, there is a popular belief that equates Vastu with Feng Shui and calls Vastu the Indian equivalent of the Chinese Feng Shui. This belief is fundamentally flawed as Vastu deals more on how to build our dwelling place or business establishment, rather than Feng Shui’s methodology of how to place different crystals, fish tank, plants etc at our home or building.
