Principles of Vastu Shastra

According to Hindu mythology our surroundings is made of five basic elements, Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. It is the different cosmic energy fields from which we derive benefits in the life. Energy received from Northeast direction.

As known in the material science north-east is considered as a positive pole and the south-west is a negative pole. This is precisely why our houses should have wider openings while the southwest should have smaller openings.

Vastu Tips for Buying Plots

The triangular, L-shaped and diamond shape, humped shape plots should be avoided while purchasing. Portions of the land on the north-west side are not good. If you are planning to buy a plot near some public place such as temple, hospital or factory, a distance of at least 80 feet should be considered. However, there are certain false things have been propagated related to land or plot that buying a plot or land from leprosy affected man should be avoided. This is wrong notion and nothing else. Vastu principles state that square plots are ideal for house construction. One should not start construction if a female member of your household is more than seven months pregnant. This brings bad luck.

Vastu for House

Main doors and windows: They should be located in the east. This allows the positive energy to flow into the room.

Living room: Construction on the west side or south side of your front room should be avoided.

Bedroom: West or north-west direction for males is suitable.

Bathroom: West and south is preferable direction.

Dining Room: Near kitchen and south-east, north-west, or north-east corner of the house is recommended.

This is not the comprehensive list of vastu principles but is very basic tenets which are rough guiding lights while dealing with construction of house or purchase of plot or gives you basis idea of vastu architecture. For more in-depth information, read our free Vastu Shastra e-book.
