What is Vastu Shastra?
Vastu Shastra is the classical Indian discipline of building and placing: how a plot, a house and its rooms are laid out by direction.
At its core is the Vastu Purusha Mandala, a grid of squares (padas) laid over the site, with the centre, the Brahmasthan, kept open. Each direction has its deity and its uses, and the corners carry the elements.
The main texts include Mayamata, Manasara, Vishwakarma Prakash, Samarangana Sutradhara and the Vastu chapter of Varahamihira’s Brihat Samhita.
How does RishiSetu teach Vastu?
- Each rule names the text it comes from, and where texts disagree, the lesson shows both.
- Remedies are taught as the texts give them, with options that need no demolition, and nothing is sold.
- Every level ends with a mastery check, and every course with an exam that opens the next.
- Vastu with the birth chart, in the Advanced course, opens once you hold the Basic Astrology certificate.

Inside the app, you can ask Guruji about any lesson, in your own language.
Can I learn Vastu Shastra online in Hindi?
Yes. RishiSetu teaches Vastu Shastra online from zero, in short lessons in 10 languages including Hindi and English. Each direction keeps its Sanskrit name, such as Ishanya for the north-east, and you can switch language at any time without losing your progress.
What do you learn first in Vastu Shastra?
The Vastu Purusha Mandala, the eight directions and the five elements. Reading a plot, and then a house room by room, comes after that.
Do I need to know astrology to learn Vastu?
No. The Vastu courses start from zero. One Advanced level, Vastu with the birth chart, also needs the Basic Astrology certificate.
Will RishiSetu tell me to break walls or buy remedies?
No. Remedies are taught as the texts give them, with options that need no demolition, and RishiSetu sells nothing.
Which texts does the Vastu course use?
Mayamata, Manasara, Vishwakarma Prakash, Samarangana Sutradhara and Brihat Samhita, each named where a rule comes from. Where the texts disagree, the lesson shows both.
Is the course just for houses, or for flats and offices too?
Both. The Basic and Intermediate courses read a plot and a house room by room; the Advanced course adds flats, offices, shops and factories.
