Abstract:
The impact of time and space always influences the man and the environment with
a net balance of negative and positive energies. Other than the energy flow
available in the surroundings, the compatibility of a human and space go in a
journey until his death, writing a comprehensive story of the individual’s life. Thus
explains the theory of “Vastu”. Though the term ‘Vas-’ has many meanings, it
briefly means the land/Space for living, the building for living, and the treasured
house hold items used in daily life. Having a productive life is determined on the
match of these three factors mentioned above.While Health and Wealth are
essential to reach the ultimate goal of a person, a considerable percentage of the
progress is accounted by the surrounding of that particular being. As Lord Buddha
states “Pathirupa desa vasocha” –A person should be wise enough to select his
surrounding accordingly where his journey to the ultimate goal isn’t held back.
Selecting the habitat, architecture, and the constructions are discussed in novel
concepts under the sciences of Geopathy, Cosmic and Telluric energies. This
knowledge has a new face matching with the modern world gaining an acceleration
of popularity. The same topics were being discussed in Puranas, Samhithas and
Veda. In this study it was observed that the Sthupa in ancient Sri Lanka and certain
other constructions found in archeological sites have followed the pyramid theory
of architecture which brings the expected effect in the designed space based on the
manipulation of external energy flow. In addition to that it is expected to discuss
whether the hospital concept in ancient Sri Lanka indeed followed this significant
theory for achieving the maximum benefit among inward monks in the Mihinthale
Ancient Hospital.
