There is no firm agreement among neurologists as to exactly how many senses there are, because of differing definitions of a sense.

The  pancha-mahabhootas  are related to our five senses of smell, taste, hearing, touch and sight. Any imbalance in our external and internal Vastu translates into unhappy situations. Vastu teaches the individual to live in balance and harmony with the panchamahabhootas.

Akasha is the Hindi/Sanskrit word meaning "aether" in both it's elemental and mythological senses. In Hinduism it is one of the Panchamahabhuta, or "five great elements."

Sixth Sense The five senses which are at present physically developed need a sixth sense to register and record them, and this is what is now functioning as mental perception.

A sixth sense, with its properly evolved sense organ, is also mentioned as not yet being manifested physically, but beginning to be manifested during the sixth root-race. Its rudiments already exist in sensitive people, who have feelings and presentiments hard to define and not referable to any of the usual five senses.

Elements:

Elements: water, fire, earth, air and ether. In a broader sense one also speaks of sixteen elements together with the intelligence and the ten working and perceiving senses. There are also divisions with 24 or 25 elements: the material elements, the subtle elements (the five objects of the senses: odor, color, touch and sound), the ten senses of perception and action, spirit, intelligence, ego and consciousness with the element of time as the twenty-fifth element. [see also S.B.: 3-26:11-15, 6.1:50].

- S'rila Prabhupada, purport 10.13: 52: 'The twenty-four elements are the five working senses (pan'ca- karmendriya), the five senses for obtaining knowledge (pan'ca-jn'anendriya), the five gross material elements (pan'ca-mahabhuta), the five sense objects (pan'ca-tanmatra), the mind (manas), the false ego (ahankara), the mahat-tattva, and material nature (prakriti). All twenty-four of these elements are employed for the manifestation of this material world.'
