  2. WHAT IS VAASTU SHASTRA The Sanskrit word vaastu means a dwelling or house with a corresponding plot of land. The term shastra may be translated as "science, doctrine, teaching".
  3. Five elements According to vastu sastra, the world comprises five basic elements known as the pancha maha bhoota. Out of the eight planets, ours has life because of the presence and balance Of these five elements. The five elements are as follows. EARTH (Bhumi) WATER (Jala) AIR (Vayu) FIRE (Agni) SPACE (Akasha)

  7. VAASTU IN CONSTRUCTIONS While architecture only deals with the technical aspect of constructing and decorating a building, Vastu Shastra relates to the universe, delivering peace, prosperity, health and happiness to the people. Unfortunately, most architects don't recognize Vastu Shastra as a science and completely ignore its principles when constructing buildings.
  8. This kind of construction has the ability to degrade the owner's prestige, bring in financial problems, lead to health defects, stress, and much more. The problem with this structure is it is built in the north east direction within the Compound wall. Wall This direction is called Southeast or Agni. A house constructed at this corner (within the compound premises) is inhabitable for humans. It will bring in losses, failures, stress, financial issues, quarrels, health problems, court cases, and much more to the residents. The Northwest corner is also known as Vayavya or Vayu. This particular direction has the capability to make a man really RICH or very POOR according to the usage This is the right kind of construction. It helps the positive energies flow and bring-in prosperity. Residents of such houses will always be happy, successful and abundant. Houses in such directions attract a lot of money.
  9. Things To Keep In Mind When Constructing A House The very first brick of a foundation must be laid in the eastern or northern part of the house. When digging the plot one must never start from the west, south or southwest direction. The very first room has to be constructed at southwest side. Construction of houses on a square or rectangular plot is extremely important and excellent from every aspect. However, if one opts for a rectangular shape, the proportion of the sides must never be more than two ratio one. Bigger sized plots are more favorable, as they tend to bring wealth. But they must not contain cleavages, or cracks. The house must always be open from every side, this means it must never be contiguous to any other building (two houses must never have a common wall). Also, a house must never be crammed between two houses. Plots with triangular shapes are extremely inauspicious. A small plot sandwiched between two bigger plots is inauspicious, and the owner of such a plot can undergo a lot of problem.
  10. VAASTU FOR INTERIORS Vastu For Windows And Doors The main door of a residence must be bigger than any other door in the house. Also, it must be more beautiful compared to the others. This helps bring in luck and prosperity. A house must at all times have even numbers of windows and doors (e.g. 2, 4, 6, 8, etc).
  11. Doors must never be placed at the center of a wall. South facing houses must have north facing entrances so that they fall at the eastern half. North facing houses must have north facing entrances so that they fall at the eastern half of the side. West facing houses must have their entrance towards West, to make sure the main door falls at the Northern half of the side. The entrance for east facing houses must be fixed towards East, to make sure the main door falls towards the Northern half of the side. All the windows must have symmetry and must be proportionate in height. There must be absolutely no obstruction, such as plants, Temple, staircases, and the like, in front of the main entrance. Doorway constructed at the eastern direction is very auspicious. However, you can also construct entrances in the western and northern side. An entry in the southern direction is not suitable.

  13. Vaastu For Drawing Room The perfect location of a drawing room is essentially based on the direction your house faces. The drawing room can be constructed in the northeast for a house that faces north or east. For a house which faces west, the living room must be in the northwest direction. For a south facing house, southeast is the best direction. Similarly, a drawing room can be in the central west, central east, and central south or central north of a house.

This ensures strength and positivity. The guests must always be seated in the southeast or northwest. The seating for the guests must be done in such a way that they face west or south.

Never keep an aquarium in the bedroom. It can lead to material loss. Never fix doors in the south west of the bedroom as that could lead to ill health and financial loss. Bedroom doors must open at 90 degrees to make sure good opportunities flow in easily. Doors which do not open fully should be avoided. The bed should be built out of excellent quality wood.

However, avoid southwest completely. The mirror must never be placed at the opposite side of the child's bed. The cabinets must be in the west or south direction of the room. The windows should be designed in the north or east direction. Other furniture items like the study table, couch etc, must be placed a few inches away from the walls.

  19. The bed must be placed at the southwest corner. The child's head must face south or east, when sleeping. Never place a computer or a T.V right opposite to the bed. The computer and T.V tend to reflect the bed when switched off; this is a bad omen. Always place reflecting objects such as television, mirror, and computer in the left or the right hand side of a bed.

  21. Vastu For Guest Room Athiti devo bhavah is a Sanskrit verse which literally translates to mean 'The guest is God'. For centuries, this verse has become the code of conduct for the Hindus who believe in welcoming their guests with immense warmth and open arms. A guest room is where the 'Athiti' or the guest stays and just like any other room in the house, it also needs to be built according to vastu..

However, it's inauspicious to build this room in the Southwest of a house as this direction is reserved only for the head of the house.
