Why Square ?

Why is history so squared? many of my friends ask me, not just Indian but world as well.
all that you saw in Harrappa or Mohen-jo-daro or the base of a pyramid or the temples in India or Greece or the monuments of Rome, its about a square base?

So whats the big deal with square?
In a Square or rectangular structure, the five elements - earth, water, air, space and ether- enhance and support your life in the most optimum way. An irregular shaped structure, interrupts the natural flow of five elements. The free flow of these five elements creates positive energies and eliminates stress in the environment. its like a river that winds in so many directions then it forms gullies and water stagnates. A straight line ensures free flow.

I think thats enough for the day.

one very interesting reading for those who want to know more about Vastu is "the Way of Vastu" by Micheal and Robie Mastro - Balanced books publishing.
