Vaastu Gyaan

------------

Vaastu means the dwelling of humans & Gods. Vaastu shastra is an

ancient science which helps one to get the natural benefits freely

offered by the five basic elements of the universe in which we all

live. These basic elements are Akash (SKY), Prithvi (EARTH), Paani

(WATER), Agni (FIRE), and Vayu (WIND). Vastu Shastra can be applied

by keeping in harmony with these basic five elements of nature.

Vaastu Shastra is an edifice science that was developed by our

learned people thousands of years ago. Its application today is

purely architectural and its principles are based on becoming one

with nature.

 

Many Vaastu rules are derived from 'Vaastu Purusha Mandala' which is

depicted as a man lying with his head pointing north east, in a grid

of usually 64 squares. The different directions and sectors are

assigned to different Gods and Guardians.

Quick Vaastu Shanti Tips

 

When sitting for worship, keep your face towards North-West and sit

in that corner to intake air from that direction.

Cash boxes can be located in the room towards the North (treasury).

But if the box is heavy (such as a safe, heavy almirah) then it

should be kept in the South­west corner and the door of the almirah

should open towards the North.

TVs and computers should ideally be placed in the Southeast corner

of the living room or study room. They should not be placed in the

Northeast corner or Southwest corner.

Telephones can be placed in the Southeast or North­west corner but

not in the Southwest or Northeast.

An aquarium with 9 gold fish 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.

One should sleep with his head pointing towards the South.

Students should be facing east while studying, for Academic

Excellence.

If the kitchen is off the proper place, some member or the other is

always found to be suffering from severe digestive disorder.

Keep the Gas in the south east corner of the kitchen

Person should face the east while cooking.

Drinking water should be in the north east of the kitchen.

While Taking meals the plate should be in South-East.

The statue of Hanumanji should not be placed in South-East. It may

create fire hazard.

All the doors should open inside so that the energy may remain

inside.

The hinges of doors should be noiseless. If so. The hinges may be

greased periodically.

The doors should open towards right hand.

Bed should not be put under a beam.

There should not be five corners in the ceiling of a room.

Efforts should be made a leave the rooms open on North-East side.

While ascending the staircase, the face should be either towards

the north or the east.

The seat of the toilet should face North-South.

No doors or windows should be provided on South-West side.

Almirahs and beds should be set very close to the South - West wall

and at a distance from the north - east wall.

A house should not have paintings, which depicts depressing scenes,

i.e. like an old woman crying, scenes of war or poverty. It should

have picture of say, a sunrise, an ocean, mountains, flowers or

laughing children.

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 to 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 and karonda etc. are OK in an orchard but not in

residence or business premises.

Amongst the beneficial plants, the best is Tulsi. It is commendable

to keep at least one Tulsi plant in the north-east area of the

premises, but its height should not exceed 1.5 meter.

Growing creepers/climbers with support on the compound wall or a

house wall is best avoided.

Cactus should not be planted or kept in the house.

In the South-West Corner of the house one should sleep pointing his

head towards south.

If north of any house is blocked it blocks prosperity.

Water flowing/water fountain from north to east is very good.
