Vaastu for a New Home

 

The Plot of Land:

 

· Open spaceshould be provided more in the north and the east as

compared to the south and the west. It extends in the form of

downward slope, depression and water on surface or just below.

 

· Elevation and massshould be placed more on the west and the south

as compared to the east and the north. This extends in the form of

ridge, hill, wall and the mass/weight borne therein.

 

· Ideally the land will have slope from west to east or south to

north and/or south-west to north-east.

 

· There should be no tall trees, high walls, high rise buildings

etc. to the east and the north of the plot. Rivulets, ponds etc. are

welcome.

 

· An electric pole or treeat north-east corner is particularly a

great set back. No big pits are acceptable on any side of the plot.

 

· All obstruction- tall trees etc.-are good to the west and the

south of the plot.

 

· A temple or shops related to noisy mechanical activity,laundry,

cobbler, carcass etc. facing the entrance is not desirable.

 

· A transformer is good near the south-east only.

 

· The best shape for a plot is square. Rectangle is also excellent

provided the length is not more than 1.5 times the width.

 

· Cut or rounding off at the corners must be avoided.

 

· Ideally the downward slope should be from all sides to the north-

east. Alternatively, the slope should be either to the north or to

the east, which implies that the plot would be facing the north or

the east.

 

· If the plot faces south, the direction of the slope of the entire

plot should be made to the east only and, instead of a surface drain

running in the south direction make vertical exit points leading

into an underground drain which discharges the drainage out of the

house in the south.

 

· A plot with roads on all the four sides ensures progress and

prosperity. But a plot with road to the north or to the east is also

excellent. The one with roads on both the north and the east is

still better.

 

· Plots facing the west or the south are not so good, but need not

be rejected. These are amenable very greatly to remedies. These

remedies, basically, are in the form of ensuring the above related

slopes, receptivity, location of the main door and the location of

the main gate.

 

· A plot located at road ending blindly,suffers from the adverse

impact of the forces generated by the traffic operating on the road.

 

· The excavation for the compound wall should be started from the

north-east and proceeded till the south-west end is reached. The

erection of the wall should be done in the reverse order.

 

· The western and southern walls should be kept thicker and taller

than those on the northern and the eastern sides.

 

· The walls at the east and the north may be retained at a low level

topped with barbed wire etc.

 

· Space between the main house and the compound wall on the northern

side should be distinctly more than that on the southern side.

Similarly, the space on the eastern side must be maintained as more

than that on the western side.

 

· Underground water storage & well should be located only in the

north-east zone but off the diagonal connecting the north-east angle

with the south-west angle. A fountain or a waterfall is also very

beneficial to have in the north-east zone.

 

· The best place for Septic tank and soak pit is the western end to

the northern side of the house. The second best is the northern end

on the western side of the house.

 

Main Entrance: The size of this door should be larger than those of

other doors. It must be more impressive than those of other doors as

well. It is imperative that the magnitude of the height be

maintained at 1.5 times the width of the door. The shutter in this

door should open towards the inside of the house and not outward. As

far as possible this door should be provided with dual shutters

opening to 180 degrees. The level of the main entrance should be a

little higher than the approach way. The steps leading onto it

should be odd in number. The passage along the main entrance should

permit smooth circulation avoiding confrontation of, say, a

staircase or booster pump. The entrance calls for fixing a decent

image above and putting the signs of swastika along the sides.

 

Prayer Room: Room for prayer and meditation is recommended to be in

the north-east corner of the house. Deity or image of god should not

face the south direction. Ideal positions are such that you face

east or west while praying.

 

Bed Room: The master bedrooms should be in the South West corner of

the house. If the house has more than one floor then, then it should

be on the top most floor. The ceiling should be in level, this makes

the energy of the room uniform, which in turn gives one a steady

state of mind. Children's room should be in the north west or west

side. To have a better concentration they should have a separate

study close to their bedrooms.

 

Kitchen: The ideal place is south east corner of the building or a

kitchen in the west of the building can also be tolerated.

 

Study Room: The best locations for this room are the north, west,

north west, east, north east. These directions attract the positive

effects of Mercury increasing brain power, Jupiter increasing

wisdom, Sun increasing ambition and Venus helps in bringing about

creativity in new thoughts and ideas.

 

Dining room: The dining room and kitchen should be on the same floor

and it should be adjacent to the kitchen from the left. The entrance

to the dining room and the main door should not be facing each

other. The dining table should be square of rectangular in shape and

should not be attached or folding against the wall.

 

Bathrooms: Bathrooms and toilets should be adjacent to the north-

east corner. They should never be constructed in the center or in

the south -west corner of the house.

 

Drawing Room: It should always be constructed towards the north. The

rooms located in the northern part of the house should be bigger in

size as that compared to the rooms in the southern part of the

house. They should be shorter to them in height by one to three

inches. This is an important rule of Vaastu Shastra. Furniture

should be square or rectangular in shape.

 

Store Room: If essential then the store room should be constructed

in the southern part of the building, other wise grain and other

provisions can be stored in the kitchen or in other rooms and

cupboards. Things should not be stored in diwans and box beds

because it effects the magnetic environment of the self and the room

causing sleeping disorders.

 

Waste Storage: Daily wastes from the kitchen should be kept covered

in the south- west corner of the kitchen.

 

Height of Rooms: The rooms in the northern part of the house should

be larger than the rooms in the southern side by 6-9 inches, and

lower by 1-3 inches. Height of rooms should ideally be, 12- 14 feet.

 

Doors/Windows: As far as doors are concerned, the main door should

be larger than the inner doors and all doors should open towards the

walls. All windows should be at least 3 feet 6 above ground level,

and should be at the same level from the top. Window openings should

be on the northern and eastern sides of the buildings.

 

Staircase: Southern or south-western portions of the building are

ideal for locating staircase. Do not design staircase of a building

in the north-east portion. The steps should climb from east to west

or from north to south. If there are landings or turnings in a

staircase, it should wind up in the clockwise direction. The number

of steps in a staircase should be an odd number so that if you start

climbing the steps with the right foot, you will reach the higher

floor on the right foot itself.
