Vastu Shastra. . . . .
Astroshastra adapts the ancient vastu guidelines for the contemporary
Western lifestyle by offering a reliable system to help you determine
your specific needs and preferences.
Vastu can be integrated as science based on energy emanating from
various sources. Energy pervades nature. Our life depends on it.
Energy rules every form of life on earth. This energy can be either
positive or negative. Incorrect vastu creates negative energy. Vastu
corrections can be done by neutralising this negative energy by
strong positive energy radiating devices like energised pyramids
and Energy cards.
Astroshastra shows you practically and concretely how to align
the elements of space, air, fire, water and earth so that they work
best for you. You will discover the right place to put your bed
in your bedroom, the right direction for you to face when you work,
the right location to take a healthy break, the right place for
your children to study, the right location for your computer or
TV, the right place to put heavy furniture, the right place for
pictures of your loved ones.
TIPS FOR YOUR HOME
Vastu can fruitfully be applied to the areas of our activities.
We should initially concentrate on areas, which affect our life,
i.e., where we live and work.
We all care about our homes and spend time, effort and money, trying
to make them more comfortable. For most of us it represents one
of the biggest investments we ever make. Our home (the architecture
of our homes) can damage our health, the air we breathe and the
water we drink, without our even being aware of it.
Similarly, at the places where we work, environmental stresses
contribute to overall load, preventing us to reach our full potential.
Resisting these external forces becomes more important for growth
and development.
Your Prayer Room
1 Room for prayer and meditation is recommended to be in the north-east
corner of the house.
2 Deity or image of god should not face the south direction. Ideal
positions are such that you face east or west while praying.
Your Staircase
1 Southern or south-western portions of the building are ideal
for locating staircase.
2 Do not design staircase of a building in the north-east portion.
3 The steps should climb from east to west or from north to south.
4 If there are landings or turnings in a staircase, it should wind
up in the clockwise direction.
5 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.
Number of columns in a building
Columns in a building should be in even numbers.
Columns in the north-east corner should not be circular.
When columns are exposed for architectural purposes, the number
of exposed columns also should be even.
Bedroom:-
While construction a bed - room, directions should be specially
chosen. The directions according to which rooms should be constructed
are as under:
North-West The room in this direction is suitable
for guests and girls.
South-West The Chief of the house should have his
room in this direction.
North-East No bedroom should be situated in this
direction. In such situation there is a possibility of increase
number of girls in the family
South-East No bedroom should be located in this
direction. The children do not take interest in studies. There is
no sound sleep. People have much anger. Decisions are generally
taken hurriedly.
West There is a possibility of birth of larger
number of girls in the family.
Bathroom: - It should be in the West and South
directions and the flow of its drains should be towards North-East.
Commode should be South or West facing. Exhausts fan can be fixed
on North and East walls. Geysers should be South-East since it is
'Agneya' corner and Geyser is associated with heat.
Toilet: -According to Vastu principles, Toilets
and Bathroom should be situated separately. These days, it is not
possible because of paucity of space. As such, these are built attached
with each other within the house. The following points need special
attention for such construction.
1. Never build toilets in the direction of eastern corner or at
"Ishan angle".
2. These should be constructed mainly towards South or West.
3. The face should be towards soutrh or West while discharging stool.
Balcony: - It should be constructed in the North-East
to achieve good health and wealth and if in the houses already constructed,
the balcony is in South-West, it should be covered with glass or
screens.
Cowshed: - It has been scientifically proved that
the cow discharges Methane gas. We exhale carbon dioxide, which
is harmful. Methane nullifies the pollution of Carbon dioxide. Therefore
cows should be kept in the North-West as far as possible.
Children's Room: - The children are future of
the nation. If the parents are able to give right direction to the
children at their tender age then tomorrow they will turn into disciplined
citizens. The children's room, too, should be constructed in the
North-West corner but the bathroom should be arranged in above noted
direction only.
Doors: - The doors should be in the North and
East. When someone enters through the door, the waves emerging from
the doors affect his mind because the magnetic waves always flow
around us. Some painting or window should be opposite each door.
Drawing Room: - It should be in North-West, South
or west direction. In the traditional drawing rooms mattresses,
covered with white sheets of cloth are spread in the entire room
and round pillows are kept in South and West walls. Similarly, in
the modern drawing room, the furniture should be kept in South and
West directions. As far as possible the open space should be maximum
in North and East directions.
Dining Room: - In olden days the meals were taken
in the kitchen itself but now the dining room has become an integral
part of the drawing room. However the dining table should be kept
in South-East.
Delivery Room: - If the delivery of child is to
be made in the house, it should be done in North-West rooms.

and the suitable directions for it is North-West or South.
Food Storage: - The store should be in the kitchen
and in the South-East corner.
Garages: - It should be in the South-East or North-West
corner but load on North and East Walls be kept at the minimum.
General Room: -Though, it is sparingly used; yet
it should be constructed in the North-West.
Guest Room: - It should be in North-West corner.
Kitchen: -The kitchen must be situated in fire
angle, i.e. in South-East. The face of the cook should be towards
the East. The water tap in kitchen should be in the North-East direction.
It is better if the stone on which food is cooked, is of red colour.
North-West This direction is the source of air. Fire and air are
combined. As such, the kitchen can also be built in this direction.
But while cooking, the face should be towards the East only.
South-West This direction is not suitable for kitchen.
North-East This direction represents the place of water. Fire and
water are not friends. Hence, the kitchen should not be located
in this direction. If there is a tank or well in this direction,
it is all right or otherwise, as has been experienced, it would
curtail peace and mutual love in the family.
Laundry: - As the hot water is also used while
laundering the clothes, the South-East corner has been considered
best for it but the flow of drains should be towards North-East.
Main Switch: - The junction of electric cables
of the house should be in the South-East corner along with the main
switch.
Main Gate: - The main gate is dependent upon the
direction on which the plot lies. However, Both-East and West directions
are considered best for the main gate of the house.
Mezzanine Floor: - According to the rules of Vastu-Shastra
we have to keep the South-West portion higher. Therefore the mezzanine
floor should be constructed in, South or West.
Open Space: - In every plot more open space should
be kept in North, East and North-East than in South and West.
Portico: - It should be in the Borth-East and
its height should be less than that of the main roof.
Patient's Rooms: - It is best to keep this room
in South-West or North-West corner. If the head of the patient is
kept in the South, he recovers early.
Place of Worship: - This is the place from where
good ideas flow. If it is in the North-East and the face of the
idol is towards North or East then the property of the house is
assured. To gain knowledge, one should offer worship keeping his
face Northward and should sit near the northern wall and to gain
economic prosperity one should keep one's face towards East and
should sit in the Eastern side of the room.
Servant Quarters: - These should be in the North-West
corner. But load on the north and east walls should be kept at a
minimum. This will keep the servants also happy.
Stair Case: - According to the principles of Vastu
Shastra the staircase can be constructed in any direction except
North-East. If in some old house, the staircase is in the North-East,
then a room should be constructed in South-East to lessen its ill-effects.
Study Room: - The North-East corner is best for
a study room. If the study room and place of worship room are adjacent
then it is considered most beneficial.
Safe(Cash): - Petty cash for daily expenses should
be kept in the North. Jewelry and other valuables should be kept
inside a safe in the South. This adds to prosperity.
Terrace: - It should be in the North-East.
Trees: - These should not be in North and East
but in South and West only.
Verandah: - This should be in the East as this
is also a form of open space. Water Tank/Overhead
Water-Tank: - It is best to keep it in the North-West,
but could be kept in West also.
Well & Tube well: - Water, too, enjoys great
importance in Vastu-Shastra, so it should be in the Eishan Kona
or North-East corner which is the most suited direction for it.
