Vastu shastra and Feng shui are both ancient and sacred bodies of knowledge revealing the connection between humans and the dwellings they inhabit.
Feng means Air and Shui means Water. So, Feng Shui is balancing of Air and Water in a particular space. But, Vastu Shastra works on the principle of Five Elements which are, Water, Air, Fire, Earth and Space.
Vastu shastra considers a house to be a living soul, having prana.The word “Vastu” came from Vastu – represent anything existing e.g. house, building etc. Shastra in Sanskrit means Systems or Knowledge.
Feng Shui is an ancient art of Chinese art who gives idea of living in harmony with environment to lead lives of contentment and happiness. In Chinese language “Feng” means “wind” and “Shui” means “water”, implying thereby that the technique involves balancing of the cosmic element water & the cosmic quality “wind” in a system to achieve harmony with the cosmic forces.

Vastu v/s Feng Shui
Vastu Shastra is based on science since Feng Shui is based on local geographic considerations and traditions. In Vastu Shastra, the North direction is generally regarded as auspicious because it is regarded as a source of magnetic energy. The East direction is also regarded as auspicious because this direction is the source of solar (sun) energy. In contrast, in Feng Shui, the North direction is generally regarded as inauspicious. This is because in China, the North direction is where the sands and cold winds from Mongolia blow from. In Feng Shui, the South and Southeast direction is generally regarded as auspicious as the warmth of sun can be felt from these directions.
