Vastu for better living...

Vastu is nothing related to religion it is a science of setting the things in order to maintain the balance of the five elements that are EARTH, FIRE, WATER, SPACE, and AIR to have a promising atmosphere and make the most benefit out of life. By Vastu, we basically mean a dwelling, which is the home for both god and humans in the most favorable manner. Vastushastra is based on various energies that come from the atmosphere like solar energy from the sun, cosmic energy, lunar energy, thermal energy, magnetic energy, light energy, wind energy. One should balance these energies to have prosperity, success, opportunity, and tranquility, and that can be done by following VASTU. When the house follows these principles of Vastu, the occupant relish all the contentment in their life. If it is against Vastu principals, it will be a place for all sorts of problems, worries, and no peace.

The Main entrance should not face either intersections of roads, or an approaching dead end road. Nor should it be obstructed by tall structures like trees or lamp posts. If it has steps leading to the house, then build an even number of steps.

West is the direction of Saturn, representative of the masses and therefore also of their feeding mouths and hunger. Vastu shastra directs that the eating room should be located in the Western side of the house.

Agni, the vedic god of fire, resides in South-East. Vastu therefore recommends that the kitchen should be loacated in the South-Eastern corner.

A Vastu house has odd number of rooms. Count all rooms which have a door.

The ideal direction to place the altar is North-Eastern direction.

Plan a balcony in North or East. A balcony in South is not recommended.

Ideally the bathroom should be located in East. If that is not possible, then the next best direction is North.

Design to have an even number of beams in a room. But do not sleep under the beams as it is likely to cause health complications.

Plan the Master bedroom in South or South-Western corner of the house. A room in North-Western corner should be given to the newly-weds in the family. In either case avoid sleeping with feet facing South because it drains away the body energy.

Place them in a cupboard on the Northern side, preferably in a room which is in Northern side.

Vastu warns that a house should not have a total number of 3, 6 or 11 windows.

Plan the house to have even number of doors

Even numbers of pillars promote harmony in the house.

A staircase is considered to be 'heavy'. Its preferred direction is South or West. Do not have a staircase in North-Eastern part of the house.

Avoid the construction of a toilet in the North-eastern part of the house. It would spell disaster. Plan to have it between South and South-Western side of the house.
