Vaastu
Vaastu - Ancient Indian guide to Architecture.
Vaastu is a more authoritative and detailed counterpart of FENG SHUI. This branch of astrology does not do any predictive work but helps you to harness the nature's energy by letting the air, sunlight, water, fire and earth into your life from the RIGHT DIRECTION and in the RIGHT QUANTITY.
According to Vaastu Shastra every type of building or apartment has different directions which are favourable or unfavourable. Buildings & apartments with good Vaastu have healthy, happy and prosperous owners. Whereas places with negative Vaastu energy will have losses, ill health, ill repute, hurdles etc.
There are prescribed directions / placements for all kind of settings in a built up structure. Here are some examples -
- Direction for the Main Door (AIR)
- Direction for the Portico. (AIR)
- Placement for the Kitchen (FIRE)
- Placement for Storage Water / Bathroom (WATER)
- Placement of Place of Worship (LIGHT)
- Placement of owners Bedroom / Office (EARTH)
- Storage Area / Dark Area (EARTH)
- Garden & Plants (EARTH)
Similar principles are worked out in case of FACTORIES, OFFICES, INSTITUTIONS, ETC.
The science of Vaastu not only gives the correct placement but also the ways to rectify the property from any ill influences of Vaastu. For example a south facing house is not recommended for the purpose of living But if we make the entrance on the eastern end of the south portion, the ill effects would be minimized.
Vaastu can be used for the following:
- Purchase of new property; renting of new property whether personal or commercial.
- If facing problems / hurdles round about the time you moved into a new place.
- You can make your existing house Vaastu compliant with minimum changes.
- Lack of harmony at home / work inspite of all other factors being favourable.
