Vaastu Tips For Peace And Prosperity

                          The following are some general guidelines to design and construct an ideal place, which will lead to prosperity, protection and peaceful environment.  It is essential to understand and interpret these ground rules and then apply.

• A clutter free environment is the key to health, wealth, peace, prosperity, success and for good relations in one’s life.
• The main door of the house should be larger than the other doors entering the house. It is best that a house has two entrances. The exit door should be smaller than the entrance, and it should have only one shutter. If there are two external doors for the house, they should not be set in a straight line.
• When one enters the house, there should not be a wall in front of the entrance.
• A shadow should not fall on the main door. The main door of the house should not be below ground. Main door should be neither in the center of the house nor in the extreme corners.
• The main door should not be situated across from the main door of another house. The entrance doors of two houses should not be exactly opposing one another. Neither should two houses share a common entrance.
• It is considered auspicious if the entrance to the property and the main door of the house are on the same side. It is not considered good if the main door to the house is on the opposite side to the entrance of the property.
• There should not be an underground water body, septic tank, or canal under the main entrance. There should not be any abandoned, wrecked buildings in front of the main entrance. Avoid having trash disposals, streetlight pole or boulders in front of the main gate or door.
•  It is good to decorate the entrance of the house with pictures or statues of God. Inauspious pictures should not be on the door. Doors should have thresholds. Shoes should not be kept in front of the door, but to the side. The door should not be slanted, sliding, or circular.
• Balconies should be planned towards the East and North and should be definitely avoided in the South and West. If balconies in the South and West cannot be avoided, then larger balco­nies must be provided towards the North and East. Care should be taken while providing balconies so that a cut or truncation is not created in the North-East corner.
• The kitchen should be ideally situated in the South-East corner of the house and as an alternative in certain cases, may be in the North-West corner, but in both cases, the cooking platform should be arranged to facili­tate cooking while facing East only.
• The kitchen should not be directly in front of the main door.
• The Kitchen should never be in the North-East corner and it should also be avoided in the South-West too, as both locations will create problems with respect to the health and finance of the inmates.
• Mirrors, sinks, wash -basins and taps should preferably be along the North -East walls and they should not be any leakage from taps.
• Rooms in the West and East can be used for din­ing. The appetite can be stimulated in the dining hall by having the walls painted in light pink or orange. A rectangular dining table is the most preferred. In the dining room, while eating, one should sit facing East or West.
• Grains and other food can be stored in the North-West sector. Oil, butter, ghee, milk and other oily liquids can be stored in the South-East of the North-West room.
• Penthouses, if built, should be in the South-West corner of the terrace leav­ing an open space in the North and East.
• The prayer room should be planned in such a way that it is placed either in the North-East corner or in the central portion (‘Brahmasthana’) of the house.
• The pictures of the God should touch the wall on the East side in the prayer room facing West; inmates should perform their prayers facing East for better concentration and devotion.
• No garbage should be thrown or dumped in the North-East corner of the building or plot and the North-East should always be kept free and clean.
• Heavy equipments such as the grinder, fridge, etc, should be placed towards the South and West walls in the kitchen. Even in the storeroom, racks should be built on the South and West walls.
• Water flowing should flow West to East or South to North and ultimately flow out from the North-East corner of the house or plot. Water fountain in North to East is very good.
• The North-East, North and East walls should be decorated with photo frames, mirrors, and paintings of Gods and with wallpaper with natural scenery; whereas the West, South and South-West walls can be decorated with scenery in a dull or matte finish.
• The South wall can be used for hanging pictures of departed souls.
• Pictures of living beings may be hung on the Eastern wall.
• The master bedroom should be in the South-West corner, while other bed­rooms can be in the Central-­South and Central-West directions.
• A bedroom in the North-West is also recom­mended but should be used as a guest room or only for daughters. Bedrooms should be avoided in the South-East corner.
• It is preferable to have children's rooms in the West or North. Children should have their study desks in the North or East of the room and they should face East while studying.
• One should sleep with one's head pointing towards the South. Children, how­ever, can sleep with their heads pointing towards the West. No one should sleep with their heads in the North.
• The bedroom can be painted in light to deep blues to induce sleep.
• Green is advised for study rooms to promote intelligence. Sandal/ yellow is advised for the prayer room.
• The living room should be located in the North or East sectors of the house.
• Heavy chandeliers or fancy lamps should not be located in the geometrical center of the rooms. They may be placed slightly towards the West or South of the room.
• TVs and computers should ideally be placed in the South-East corner of the living room or study room. They should not be placed in the North-East corner or South-West corner.
• Telephones can be placed in the South-East or North-West corner but not in the South-West or North-East.
• Living rooms can be painted in white, yellow, light pink, light blue or green. Grey, red and black are to be avoided.
• Always keep the center of the room, building and plot, free from any loads, weights, pillars, columns, beams, water bodies, etc.
•  It is preferable to have the staircase towards the South, West or South-West of the building but it may be in the South-East or North-West, depending on other parameters. Staircases should be avoided in the North-East, North and the East.
• Circular/spiral staircases are generally to be avoided. The number of steps in a staircase should be odd, including the landing step, and they should rise from East to West or from North to South.
• It is better to make sure that the steps are by the South and West walls, and that it should be constructed in such a way that the move­ment is in a clockwise direction while going upwards, that is from the ground to the higher floors.
• Restrooms should be located in the North-West cor­ner of the building or in the North-West corner of the rooms. Other alternative directions for restrooms are Central-South or Central West.
• Closets in the restrooms should face North or South, along the North-South axis; and should not face the East or West.
• Restrooms should be avoided in the North-East, North and East.
• Mirrors in the restroom and dressing room should be on the North or East walls.
• A bathroom in the East sector is most preferred as the beneficial rays of the morning sun can enter and promote the health of the user.
• In the office or study room, the table should be placed in the Western or Southern side so that one sits facing the East or North.
• No equipment, furni­ture, cupboards, etc, should be placed touching the North or East walls and if it becomes unavoidable, they should be kept at least 4" or 6" away from the walls.
• Cash boxes can be located in the room towards the North (treasury). But if the box is heavy (such as a safe, heavy closet) then it should be kept in the South-West corner and the door of the closet should open towards the North.
• The storage or lumber-room can be located in the South-West, adjacent to the Master bedroom.
• If possible, the house should be extended by 4 feet to 5 feet in the North-East direction to ensure the North-East directional bliss for the household. Growing Holy Basil (Ocimum sanctum) ‘Tulsi’ and other beneficial herbal plants in the North-East will promote good health and prosperity.
• Pictures of landscapes depicting mountains should be hung on the South and West walls only Land­scapes containing water, such as pictures of lakes and rivers should be on the North and East walls.
• Pic­tures of eagles and carnivorous animals should not be used for interior wall decorations. Do not hang a painting depicting war, crime, unrest, agony or distress.
• Pictures of horses, cows and elephants can be used for decoration purposes.
• The directions of East and West are important as far as obtaining the energy from the Sun is concerned. The importance of the directions of the North and the South lies in the flow of magnetic waves which flows from North Pole to South Pole. Therefore, Southward portion of every building should be higher than the Northward portion.
• Besides this, it should also be kept in mind that the inclination of land, building, floors of rooms etc. should be towards North-East. In other words the parts in the West and South of the building should be slightly higher than those in the North and East.
• Keep no broken mirrors in the house.
• The Safe/Lockers should open towards the North or the East. So keep it along south or the west.
• The toilet/restroom seat should preferably be along the North-South axis.
• While sweeping the floor with any disinfectant, a little or sea salt should be added.
• Students should study facing the north or east. Do not sit or sleep under a beam otherwise mental stress prevail.
• Do not have any cactus in the house. Having it outside the boundary is good.
• Do not have a toilet/restroom or a prayer room under a staircase.
• Blocking of the North-east (‘Ishaan’) portion of the house or industry restricts the inflow of the blessings of God. It leads to tension quarrel and insufficient growth of the inhabitants; especially children of the owner.
• In an industry any fault, ditch or broken part in the direction of north - east may affect health of the children of the industrialist.
• Improper position of the bedroom/bed brings unhappiness in the married life and causes disturbed sleep.
• Having a restroom/fireplace in north-east corner of the house or industry can ruin it financially besides mental tension & quarrel amongst people.
• Finished products are to be kept in the North-West corner. It would help quick movements of the stock & early recovery thereof.
• More open space in North or East gives name, fame and prosperity. Leaving more space on the South-West side in the house can affect the male members badly; whereas in industry it leads to financial loss and quarrel amongst partners.
• Depression in the South-West can result in to a serious illness to the habitants, whereas depression in North-West causes enmity and litigation. The depression in south portion of the building restricts growth besides financial problems.
• Extension in the South-West may result in loss of health, loss of money and other insurmountable problems, whereas an extension in South–East may lead to fire, accidents, theft, and court litigation.
• Heavy machinery has to be installed in South, West and South -West in the factory.
• Transformers, generators, motors, boilers, furnaces, oil -engines etc. should be kept in South-East or southern portion of the plot/building.
• Central space(‘Brahmasthan’) is better left open or used for rituals. Some traditional four-sided house with a central courtyard and verandahs all around, is ‘model’ of Vastu design.
• Cash boxes can be located in the room towards in the North (treasury).  However, if the box is heavy (such as a safe, heavy closet) then it should be kept in the South-West corner and the door of the closet should open towards the North.
• An aquariumwith nine gold fishes and one black fish, in the North-East corner/portion of the house or factory is very good.
• If the North-East area is untidy or unshapely, the well being of male issues is found to be precarious.
• Students should be facing East while studying, for academic excellence.
• Tall trees are nowhere recommended close to the main building.  For trees the South in itself is good and so is the West.  No tree should be grown in the North and the East.  The one at the North-East is the worst.
• Small decorative plants and shrubs may be grown in the North and the East.  The height should not exceed, say, half a meter at the North-East increasing gradually to not more than 1.5 meter as one moves from the North-East to the North-West or the South-East end.
• Except rose and a few medicinal ones, all thorny plants give rise to tensions in the environment. Plants exuding white sap should also be kept off.  Lime, orange etc. are all right in an orchard but not in residence or business premises.
• Growing creepers/climbers with support on the compound wall or a house wall can best be avoided.
• If North of any house is blocked it blocks prosperity.

MAKE VASTU PRINCIPLES A WAY OF DAY-TO-DAY LIFE.  

Vaastu And Nature

                  The whole Universe is combination of five basic elements. While making or constructing a building if all five basic elements of nature are considered, then creative energy, electrical energy, magnetic energy is produced. In addition, it gives good health, wealth and prosperity to human beings. This human body too is a unique example of these five basic elements, e.g. a ‘Water’ element is present in foot, ‘Earth’ element in knee, ‘Air’ element in naval,  ‘Fire’ element in both the shoulders and ’Space’ element in brain. If there is no co-ordination among these fire elements then our energies weaken and it results into tension, ill health, and disturbs the peace of mind. All the five basic elements have their respective results. A human being cannot survive in the absence of even a single element. By adopting Vastu shastra all the five basic element can be brought into your favor or be conducive to you.

               Vastu Shastra is the only way to make our lives better and Secured from things going wrong. Vastu combines all the five elements of nature called ‘Panchbhootas’ and balance them with the men and the material. Indian Sages and Seers found the following secrets of this universe and evolved methods and systems and confined them over the years as VASTU SHASTRA.
1. The magnetic field, gravitational effect etc. of Earth.
2. The Galaxy in the sky, stars and planets around the Earth and their effects.
3. Light and Heat of the Sun including the effects of its Ultra-Violet and Infra-Red rays.
4. The volume and intensity of rainfall and source of Water inside our Mother Earth etc.
5. The directions and velocity of the Wind and seasonal changes of our world.

Working Of Vaastu Shastra

How Vaastu Shastra works?

             Vaastu Shastra works on three principles of design that cover the entire premise. The first one is ‘Bhogadya’, which says that the designed premise must be useful and lend itself to easy application. The second is ‘Sukha Darsha’, in which the designed premise must be aesthetically pleasing. The proportions of the spaces and the material used, in the interiors and exteriors of the building ornamentation, color, sizes of the windows, doors and the rooms and the rhythms of projection and depressions should be beautiful. The third principle is ‘Ramya’, where the designed premise should evoke a feeling of well being in the user.

                In addition, Vastu Shastra is a complicated form of science put together by seventeen sages. There are certain rules that should be followed while building a house or a building. For instance, the building's underground water tank or well should be situated in the North-East direction. However, if the building has an overhead tank then it should be placed in the South-West direction. In addition, more space should be left to the North and the East of the building compound and less on the South and the West. Open space should be kept around the building and if the plot has a road on the East-North directions, it is better for the inhabitants.

            Vaastu Shastra (‘Vastu’- physical environment and ‘Shastra’- knowledge) is one of the traditional Hindu canons of town planning and architecture. These canons are codified in texts such as ‘Manasara Silpa Shastra’ (by Manasara), ‘Mayamatam’ (by Maya), ‘Viswakarma Vastu Shastra’ (by Viswakarma), ‘Samarangana Sutradara’ (by Raja Bhoja), ‘Aparajita Praccha’ (by Viswakarma's son Aparajita) and ‘Shilpa Ratna’. Other treatises such as ‘Agni Purana’ and works by Kautilya and Sukracharya are not popular even though they preceded the previously mentioned documents. Distinction of style exists due to each documents place of origin. ‘Mayamata’ and ‘Mansara Shilpa Shastra’ are considered Dravidian because they are from South India whereas ‘Viswaskarama Vastu Shastra’ is considered Aryan due to its North Indian origin. Vastu Shastra deals with various aspects of designing and building living environments that are in harmony with the physical and metaphysical forces/energies of the Cosmos such as the gravitational, electro-magnetic and supernatural. Building practices based on limited interpretations of these principles are still sustained in specific areas of India.

Movement of Earth

                   In order to understand the underlying scientific aspects of Vastu Shastra, we take into consideration the following principles:

Since the Earth spins from West to East and the North Pole is inclined by 23.5°, the actual North point of the Earth is situated at North-East and South point at South-West. The Cosmic Energy coming from North-East provides positive energy to the structures whereas South-West gives rise to negative energy. Hence, efforts must be made to conserve the positive energy coming from North-East and also to arrest the flow of negative energy arising from the South-West. Thus, by keeping the potential high at North-East and low in the South-West, we can ensure uninterrupted strong flow of positive energy in each and every nook and corner of the structures. This can be accomplished by keeping maximum open spaces and doors in North and East of the plot and the least in the South and West. To keep the level of positive energy high, the height of the building will have to be kept low in the North-East, East and North side as compared to the South-West, South and West Side. This stems the inward flow of negative energy.

Magnetic flow between the poles

           In order to maintain uninterrupted flow in the Earth’s magnetic field, it is essential that no pillars are erected in the middle part of the building and the number of the windows in the North should be double of that in the South, thus ensuring maximum utilization of positive magnetic flow coming from the North. Since Lord ‘Kuber’ is placed in the North it enhances the mental development and one gets strength to take right decisions and achieve prosperity.

Vaastu Energy

VAASTU ENERGY

‘Miracles do not happen in contradiction to Nature but only to that which is known to Nature.’                                       -Saint Augustine 

 Energy is defined as capacity of doing work, but we are not talking about in terms of the energy units like ‘Ergs’ and ‘Joules’ what we read in schools. We see ‘Energy’ in the flowers, when they blossoms. The seeds also sprout on their own which is due to ‘Energy’. There are two types of Energy in Nature and they are named as ‘Positive Energy’ and‘Negative Energy’, i.e. ‘Constructive’ or ‘Destructive’ Energy existing in Universe. This positive energy makes the seed to sprout. Starting from microbes to the elephant, they use this ‘Energy’. Similarly, the planets move on their own with some energy but it is said the energy utilized for this rotation is negligible compared to our Universal Energy available in Space. 

There are some ‘Destructive Energies’ also prevailing in the Universe, which do not allow the seed to sprout and human to prosper. The worms, bacteria, virus do this destructive work. Now we are referring to some harmful energy in Vastu in form of radiations, those are emanating from Earth and from Cosmos. These energies work on the Structures (‘Matter’) and Humans or Animals (‘Bio-Energy Fields’).   

Building-Biology (ENERGY) 

Our building is not just a place of dwelling but it is like another layer of skin connecting us with the energies of outer world. People live in it either partially (offices & factories) or full time (homes). It provides security, protects our belongings. Further, it is in the form of a geometrical figure, similar to a ‘YANTRA’ working as a ‘PowerHouse’. It should provide good health and support in attaining prosperity. It must help us physically, mentally and spiritually. Here prosperity means, should providing sufficient financial support to sustain, making us free from external problems and guarantee peace to the dwellers. 

(a) Human Life and ‘Building Biology’ 

 It means to say that we have many objects around us, which can be compared to the ‘life’ or the living cells in our body, having an enormous impact with our body chemicals and physical aspects of matter. This cannot be seen with a naked eye but can be experienced with time like the good and bad effects of them affecting wellbeing of a human body. Similarly, a ‘building’ is not a simply a structure, but it has ‘energy’ (‘Ojass’ or ‘Prana’) must have the support of following factors like good environment; materials used in its construction like rock, wood, and covering items etc.; articles placed in it, must have mutual acceptance with the persons living in it. It is called compatibility. 

(b) Geo-Biology 

 The existing Earth's magnetic field, gravity, sunlight are helping out biology, while the geological structures underneath the buildings, consisting of harmful mineral give harmful radiations, faults, fractures, presence of water channels, conscious bones in rocky structures which effect residents living directly above them these radiations (which breaks the chemical bondage) with their ‘Negative Aura Energy’ may clash with our energy body. It means this affects our Cell Energy. Incurable diseases like Cancer, T.B, Heart Attacks occurred due to blockages of energy in the cell and its functions. The remains of the dead and their bones sometimes believed  by some  as  ‘Conscious’ may influence the human bio-energetic field, causing psychic problems. The occurrence of unpredictable uneventful deaths, murders brings total turmoil in the peace of the residents. 

(c) ‘Bau-Biologie’ or Building Biology 

 It is a term used by German Vastu specialists to describe a movement, to promote the use of healthy building principles as a means for better living working place relating to health of the occupants. Primarily it is a study of pattern of the house, building and its contents vis-à-vis their interaction with the human energy field. It is a field of building science investigating the indoor environment for a variety of irritants. Such environment can produce negative or stressful results or positive or restful effects affecting mental and physical health of the occupants. Some un-natural structural irregularities, broken items, metallic items, electrical EMF gadgets, skin or hides or their heads used as decorative pieces may give Infra-red radiation. Their negative energies may result in unidentifiable nausea, headache and allergies etc.     

Roles of Energies in Vastu Shastra 

(‘Pranic’, ‘Jaivic’ & Solar Energy) 

Cosmic Energy (‘Pranic’ Energy) 

 As we know our Earth is tilted 23.5 degrees towards the North-East direction and it is moving from West to East direction. For an example, when we run we feel the air is coming against our direction. We feel the air. Similar thing happens to the movement of Earth towards the North-East direction vis-à-vis the Cosmic Energy (‘Pranic’ Energy), which comes in from the North-East direction.

This is the reason that much focus is paid towards the North-East direction. If this zone is blocked then the breadwinner will face many difficulties in life. No obstruction should be along the North-East zone; like bathroom, toilet, storeroom, staircase, master bedroom or even kitchen should not be placed there. Only prayer room is allowed there.

This area must be kept clean and tidy and preferably lightweight or no weight at all. Keep windows open here in the morning for the beneficial morning Sun. Use this place for meditation and prayers. Face North or East always when praying. In addition, keep a bowl of water (clean water) and place it at the corner of the North-East zone.

North-East zone represents the water element in Vastu. Respect this zone as if it’s the heart of the house. This room can be used if you are not well and wish to get well fast and to recharge yourself when your are stressed out.

Why there are some cases of houses being burgled or robbed by thieves while some are not; certain people get robbed; some dogs attack people easily and some dogs don't and keep their distance? This may be connected to the energy level of people and their homes. When a person’s energy level or ‘Prana’ energy level is low, dogs can sense it and they may attack. If a house energy level is low, thieves might sense it and notice it. How can they sense it? It comes down to their intuition and instinct and their feeling towards it. That is why that in some houses we sense good vibes and in some, we don't.

How do we know if a person’s energy level is high or low?
When you observe them talking negatively about people and themselves, gossiping and always complaining matters. They are never happy about themselves and the environment. Such persons are generally having very low energy level; so they will continue to attract negative things in their lives.

How do we measure a house energy level is high or low?Firstly, observe the North-East direction of the house. If there is an obstruction, then the house has low ‘Prana’ energy. Next, observe the South-West zone. If there are no obstructions for the openings, then the ‘Prana’ energy has exited from this zone. South-West zone should always be closed, heavy and with fewer openings, then the energy can be stored.

As a conclusion, leave North-East zone free and open and keep South-West zone closed and heavy and observe the results.


Magnetic Field (‘Jaivic’ Energy)
Magnetic field of Earth flows from North to South. We as humans can only observe this energy when we sleep. If we get bad dreams, cannot sleep at night, or sleeping in excess then we may be or are sleeping with our heads towards North. Our body is receptive to the North-South Magnetic flow is due to IRON in our blood. Our head reacts as the North Pole and legs as South Pole.
When we sleep with our heads towards North, our head and the North Pole repels each other, and we get disturbed sleep. Sometimes we may even get migraine and headaches sleeping towards this direction.

The best direction to sleep is towards South. When North and South Pole is against each other, it attracts and we get sound and blissful sleep. We do not really have to sleep directly towards South; it can be South-East or South-West too but never towards North-East or North-West.

Solar Energy
The source of solar energy is only from the Sun. It is the source of Vitamin D as well. The morning Sun is very beneficial to our human bodies. It is best to get morning exposures during sunrise timings. As per the Hindu religion, praying the morning Sun God and chanting sacred ‘Gayatri Mantra’ facing East, would be quite beneficial. Expose yourself towards the morning Sun as much as possible. Take a bath in the morning exposing to the beneficial morning Sun with better absorption of Vitamin D.

The best location for kitchen is in the South-East zone which is the fire zone. Cook facing East. The best time to cook is from 9am to 12pm. The Sun will be at the South-East zone to benefit the Positive Ultra-Violet Rays from the Sun. After 12pm until Sunset, the immense heat of the Sun, which is not beneficial to us at all should be avoided. After 12pm, the position of the Sun will be at South then South-West then sets at West. This is the reason why our walls at home should be thicker along the Southern and Western zone. This is to prevent the harmful UV rays of the Sun into our living premises.

As we can see, Vastu Shastra is not a belief or a superstition. It is a pure Science of the Cosmos. Nothing to be ‘believed’ or ‘worshipped’. Every principles and techniques has its scientific explanation behind it; and it can be observed regardless of religion or beliefs.
