Vastu Tips for Plots
WHY IS THE SITE SELECTION IMPORTANT?
The selection of a site is very important since the site represents a fixed form, that will radiate positive as well as negative energies depending on its location, orientation, shape, slope and soil quality. While selecting a Site these five major points are to be kept in mind.
Normally a Vaastu Expert is not involved at the time of buying a Site. But as a Vaastu Expert, I would suggest that it is good to involve one, at the time of selecting a Site, as his inputs could be very valuable in deciding the right Site. Generally, the points an Vaastu Expert will keep in mind while selecting a site, will by default be in accordance with Vaastu Shastra.
If you already own a Site for construction of house or office, you should still refer to the Vaastu Guidelines prescribed for the selection of suitable Site.
In the Selection of a Site, the following Vaastu Guidelines should be looked into, since most of these guidelines
are based on scientific reasoning and few on common sense.
· VASTU GUIDELINES FOR SITE LOCATION
· VASTU GUIDELINES FOR SITE ORIENTATION
· VASTU GUIDELINES FOR SITE SHAPE
· VASTU GUIDELINES FOR SITE SOIL
· VASTU GUIDELINES FOR SITE SLOPE
VAASTU GUIDELINES FOR SITE LOCATION
Proper guidelines have been put fin Vaastu Shastra for the Selection of a Site. As Vaastu is a science, there is logic and reasoning behind every guideline. As a Vaastu Expert I have made an attempt to explain these guidelines rationally and scientifically. It is up to you to decide what you want to follow and what you don’t.
WHAT IS THE BEST LOCATION OF A SITE?
Peaceful, calm place with lot of greenery and good water source with good soil, for obvious reasons. The fertile soil is an indication of good soil for construction.
While purchasing a piece of land, it is a good idea to stand on the land and feel its vibration for a few moments. If you feel positive about it, consider buying the land. If not, it is probably not good for you. The Reasoning is that it is always advisable to trust your instinct but make sure you are not influenced by anything or anyone else, for good reasons.
Check the Plot history; it should be a good history. It is best to buy land where happy and successful people have lived. The natural reasoning behind the concept is totally psychologically, you will feel that a land where people were happy and prosperous; has good vibes or energy.
Check for the road adjacent to the plot. Plot with pathways on all four sides is considered the best. It ensures health, wealth, prosperity and happiness. The natural reasoning for the logic is because a Plot with roads on all four sides is not abutting any body’s property and hence one can derive maximum lighting and ventilation from all four sides.
The next best option is a Plot with roads on the North or East. The reasoning I understand for it is that more light and air can enter from these sides in the mornings.
If there are source of water or water in or around the plot; check their location. Plots with a water source in the North, East or North-East are good. The Reason is that the germicidal U-V rays of the morning sunlight, which engulf the North-East corner in the morning, can purify the water.
WHICH SITES ARE NOT GOOD?
It is advisable to avoid a haunted or dilapidated house. The Plot should not be purchased, if in the recent past someone has committed suicide on it, or if there have been several deaths over a period of a couple of months. You may psychologically feel uneasy if you happen to know of such a past.
Avoid purchasing a plot that has been sold under stress. Such Plots should be purchased only with caution and proper consultation with a Vaastu expert. One good reason is that you may feel psychologically unhappy and guilty, knowing that the Plot was sold out of helplessness and that the previous owner must be still holding onto it.
We have to avoid sites near a public place or buildings. The Plot should not be near or adjacent to any public place like temple, hospital, factory, school, college etc. Such places will constantly be crowded and noisy. But if they are at least 80 ft to 100 ft away, then the plot is acceptable.
We cannot live in an environment with foul smell. It is advisable to avoid sites near smelly places. The Plot should not be near a meat shop, workshop, leather tannery, laundry, shoe shop, dustbins, sewage drains etc. The bad smell emanating from these places will permeate the house permanently and naturally create a atmosphere in the house that is not suitable to live in.
Sites where either cactus or trees with thorn grow should be avoided. Such sites indicate sandy soil which will not support the foundation effectively. The soil of such land is not strong enough to hold the foundation of the building.
If the plot is between large plots, it should be avoided. In such plots the owner of the smaller plot can construct only a much smaller house than the owners of the larger plots and thus, may subconsciously feel ’small’ with respect to the neighbors. This can create a feeling of inferiority in the owner.
It is good to avoid plots with lot of cracks or too much wet soil. The cracks indicate dried up clayey soil and too wet soil also indicates clayey soil that does not allow the drainage of water. Such soil is not suitable for a building foundation as it will retain moisture and necessitate extra expenditure for water-proofing the foundation.
Strictly avoid Plots facing a T or Y intersection of roads. This is because you can see oncoming traffic and this may give you the nervousness feeling or lack of privacy. However, in some cases, as explained below, such plots are acceptable.
AS PER VAASTU SHASTRA, WHAT IS VEETHI SHOOL?
Plots facing a T or Y intersection, where roads or lanes run right into the face of the site from different directions are called Veethii (road) Shool (Arrows). Since it is difficult to comment on the different permutations and combinations of roads, oncoming roads, directions etc, that form the Veedi Shoolas, let us examine the basic considerations, in naming them as good, not bad, bad and very bad.
· East—North East If the oncoming road is from the East, and hits the North-East part of the Plot, it is considered a good site.
· North—North East If the oncoming road is from the North, and hits the North-East part of the Plot it is considered a good site.
· West —North West If the oncoming road is from the West, and hits the North- West part of the Plot, it is considered as a not bad site.
· South—South East If the oncoming road is from the South, and hits the South- East part of the Plot, it is considered as a not bad site.
· East — South East If the oncoming road is from the East, and hits the South- East part of the Plot, it is considered a bad site.
· North — North West If the oncoming road is from the North, and hits the North-West part of the Plot, it is considered a bad site.
· West — South West If the oncoming road is from the West, and hits the South-West part of the Plot, it is considered a very bad site.
· South — South West If the oncoming road is from the South, and hits the South-West part of the Plot, it is considered a very bad site.
CAN THE VEETHI SHOOL BE CORRECTED?
If your Plot is facing an intersection, (called a Veethi Shool), as you can see the oncoming traffic and people, this may give you the nervousness feeling or lack of privacy. In order to overcome this, you can use the corner of the plot that faces the intersection as a garage or car porch etc so that the main house is not facing the intersection. Or you could fence off that part and use it for some other purpose like a garden or outhouse etc.
VAASTU GUIDELINES FOR SITE SHAPE
As per Vaastu Shastra, the shape of the plot affects the well being of the inmates. It has been noted certain shape of plots have a good effect, while others shapes a bad effect and some plots can be used after making corrections to a suitable shape. As Vaastu is a science, there is logic and reasoning behind every guideline. As a Vaastu Expert, I have attempted to explain these guidelines rationally and scientifically, so that you can decide what you want to follow and what you don’t.
SHAPES OF PLOT AND THEIR EFFECTS
Square plot
A plot with equal length and width is considered as an ideal site for construction. As per Vaastu, it ensures all round growth, prosperity and happiness. In ancient time, houses were designed around a central square courtyard, for better ventilation, a square plot was considered the most suitable.
Rectangle plot
A plot having the length and width in 1:2 ration are considered good. If the length faces north and width faces west, it would be considered more suitable. Such plots are considered to bestow good health, wealth and prosperity upon the residents. Like in a square site, it is easy to design a square or rectangle shaped house in such plot with extra space used for trees, outhouse etc and hence is not wasted.
Triangular plot
The Triangle shaped plot is not good. Such sites are considered as sites where there will always be fear of fire.
Circular/Elliptical/Oval Plots
Such shapes are not considered good for construction of houses. According to Vaastu, such plots would bring bad luck to the owners.
Plots With more than 4 sides
Pentagon, Hexagon, Octagon shaped plots should be avoided for construction of house. People in such plots always live in fear.
Gou-mukhi plot
A plot that is narrow in the front and wide at the back is called Gou Mukhi. Such plot is considered auspicious for residential purpose. Such plots bring prosperity to the house owners.
Simha-mukhi plot
A plot that is wide in the front or entrance and narrow at the back is known as Simha Mukhi plot. Such plots are considered inauspicious for residential purpose but are suitable for commercial purpose.
Plots with corners cut
Plots with a missing corner should not be purchased for any reason. If you must, then do so with proper consultation of an Expert Vaastu Shastri. Plots with cut corners are considered inauspicious.
Plots with projections or extensions
The plots with extension in the North or East or North-East are considered good. Other extensions are considered as inauspicious. Plots with extensions in the North-West, South-East or South-West are not considered good, they bring bad luck to the owners.
VASTU GUIDELINES FOR SITE ORIENTATION
Vaastu Shastra lays down guidelines to aid you in the selection of a plot with the ideal direction. As Vaastu is a science, there is logic and reasoning behind every guideline. As a Vaastu Expert, I have attempted to explain these guidelines rationally and scientifically, so that you can decide what you want to follow and what you don’t.
WHAT DOES ‘SITE ORIENTATION’ MEAN?
Site Orientation means the location or position of the plot with respect to the Cardinal directions. In lay mans language, if you stand in the plot and see towards the road which direction you see? The plots orientation is identified by the direction that the front of the plot faces. When you stand in the Site and face the road, the direction you face is said to be the plots orientation. For example, a plot with a road in the North, is called a North facing.
WHAT ARE THE CARDINAL DIRECTIONS?
In Vaastu there is clear explanation regarding the direction of the plot. Let us understand the eight directions, which are identifiable depending on the position of the Sun in the sky. They are:
· East (poorv): The Sun rises in the East.
· West (Paschim): The Sun sets in the West.
· North (Uttar): When one faces the East, the direction to the left is the North.
· South (Dakshin): When one faces the East, the direction to the right is the South.
· Where the two Cardinal directions meet, is also as significant as the main direction, since it combines the forces emanating from both the directions.
· North-East (Eeshan): This is where the North and East meet.
· North-West (Vaayavya): This is where the North and the West meet.
· South-West (Nairuthya): This is where the South and the West meet.
· South-East (Aagneya): This is where the South and the East meet.
WHAT IS THE RELEVANCE OF FACING OF PLOTS?
In ancient scriptures it has been written that the sun is the “Giver of Life” and its role was deeply considered while designing the principles of “Building Design”. Buildings are oriented in such a way that at all times the inmates benefit from the useful effects of the morning Sun’s UV radiation which helps in the synthesis of Vitamin D in our bodies, while being protected from the harmful effects and the intense heat of the infra-red rays of the afternoon Sun. As such, the most frequently used rooms during the day are oriented in the East (for morning sunlight) and the North (for constant sunlight in India) whereas the rooms that are used mostly at night are restricted to the South and the West.
Thus, the layout of a House and the rooms have been prescribed in Vaastu, according to the position of the Sun, throughout the day, from the time it rises in the East to the time it sets in the West. Depending which direction the plot faces, it becomes either easier or more difficult to design the layout of the House. This is why the facing of the plot or Site Orientation is given importance while selecting a site or plot for construction of house.
WHICH IS THE BEST DIRECTION FOR A PLOT?
In ancient text of Vaastu guidelines to aid in the Selection of a plot with the ideal Orientation are based on Common sense, scientific reasoning and logic. As per Vaastu:
All directions are considered good and each has its own advantages. The only reason I understand is; in any city or town, there are roads in all four directions and naturally there have to be houses on both sides of the roads. Also, the city looks more aesthetic if there are houses in all the four directions. Hence, according to Vaastu, all plots are considered good.
East facing Plot is good for scholars, philosophers, priests, professors, teachers etc. The Logic- East (morning sun rays) is considered the source of enlightenment. North facing plot is good for those in power, administration and those who work for government. South facing plot is good for business class and for those who work in business organizations at management level. West facing plot is more suitable for those who provide supporting services to the society.
The reason why Vaastu attributes each direction to a different class of people is because in ancient times, Indian society was divided into four classes of people, based on their occupations. But gradually these classes became castes and there was very little social mixing between the castes and so people of each caste preferred being with their own people. Hence their homes were grouped together.
In a plot that does not squarely face the cardinal directions it is fount that its axis is not parallel to the magnetic axis of the Earth. In such a case, the house should be built on the Site facing the other four directions. There is a technical procedure by which the cardinal points are ascertained for the orientation of the buildings. It should be done in the centre of the plot which is considered the naval of the Vaastu Purusha. In order to benefit from the useful effects of the Sun and other natural elements, it is better if the house is built facing the cardinal directions.
VAASTU GUIDELINES FOR SITE SOIL
In ancient Vaastu text proper guidelines have been prescribed to aid you in the selection of a plot or site with the ideal soil type. As Vaastu is a science, there is logic and reasoning behind every guideline. As a Vaastu Expert, I have attempted to explain these guidelines rationally and scientifically, so that you can decide what you want to follow and what you don’t.
ACCORDING TO VASTU SHASTRA, WHAT IS THE IDEAL TYPE OF SOIL IN A SITE?
To construct a building for any purpose, land is required. And it is a fact the land has not been previously not allocated for the same. It has to be some or the other kind of site that has to be used. It should be correctly noted for what purpose the land was being used previously.
While purchasing land, it is ideal to buy a piece of land that is most suitable for cultivation i.e., where the vegetation can grow. There are different types of soil based on the colour- brick red, dark brown, white, red, yellow, black etc. Generally the soil which is good for cultivation like red, brick red, brown, yellow soil etc is also good for the foundation of a building. Whereas, black and clayey soil which is not good for cultivation is also not good for buildings as it retains water and can cause dampness to the foundation.
It is advised to avoid a site with black and clayey soil. The Reason being, the black soil indicates soil that retains water and doesn’t allow good drainage. It is best to avoid such a site because it will require special kind of foundation and water-proofing which will cost many time more than the usual foundation.
Again avoid rocky piece of land for construction purpose. Land with too many rocks and thorny trees is not considered good. This is because it may be an indication that there is rock below which will have to be blasted out before laying the foundation, causing unexpected expenditure.
A land with lot of worms should be avoided. This may be an indication that the soil is very loose and will not support the foundation well.
DOES VAASTU PRESCRIBE METHODS FOR CHECKING THE SUITABILTY OF THE SOIL FOR CONSTRUCTION?
According to scriptures written by King Bhoj, the ancient Indian Vaastu Specialist, there are two simple tests to check the suitability of the soil type.
FIRST METHOD
WATER TEST: AFTER TEST: Dig a 2ft x 2ft x 2ft hole and slowly fill it with water. Let the soil absorb the water. Note the time period. If the time taken to absorb the water is more than an hour, it is considered good. After the water is absorbed, check for cracks in the pit, if there are many then it is not suitable. If the water is absorbed readily, then the soil is not suitable to sustain the load of the building. If there are cracks, it indicates clayey soil, which will retain water and hence, can cause dampness to the foundation. Land with sandy or clayey soils will necessitate extra strong foundations with proper water proofing, which in turn will be more expensive.
SECOND METHOD
SOIL TEST: Dig another 2ft x 2ft x 2ft hole and then fill it up again. If some soil is left over after filling, the land is considered good. If there is no soil left after filling up, it is average. If after putting the complete soil back in the pit it is not fully filled, it is not good. This is the test to determine the soil’s natural moisture, density and aeration. If the hole is not fully filled up, it means the soil is dense and clayey and hence will retain water which is not good for a building foundation.
Surprisingly, even today people adopt the same method for testing the soil at the site. In fact, it is the first thing an Architect instructs the client to get done, so that the kind of structure can be decided and the structural engineer can design the structure and foundation accordingly.
VASTU GUIDELINES FOR SITE SLOPE
In ancient Vaastu scriptures great importance has been given to the selection of site based on the slope of the land. As Vaastu is a science, there is logic and reasoning behind every guideline. As a Vaastu Expert, I have attempted to explain these guidelines rationally and scientifically, so that you can decide what you want to follow and what you don’t.
WHAT IS THE SUITABLE SLOPE OF THE LAND?
The North-East half of the plot is called the Solar half and the South-West half is called the Lunar half. Ideally the Solar half (Sun) should be lower than the Lunar half (moon’s surface). In short, Vastu recommends that always, the:
· North-East corner should be the lowest,
· North-West should be higher than the North-East corner,
· South-East should be higher than the North-West corner,
· South-West should be higher than the South-East corner.
The North-East corner should be the lowest and the South-West corner should be the highest: The Logic- This ensures the ideal flow of light and solar energy from the North-East corner (morning light and constant light) into the house. Also, when the South-West corner is higher than the North-East corner, it serves as a buffer (to the West and South-West sunrays) and prevents the heating up of the rest of the house.
Avoid plots with a depressed or raised centre: Avoid plots humped at the center and sloping on all sides. Similarly avoid plots that are depressed at the center. The Logic- If the center is too depressed or too much higher, it is difficult and expensive to level the site as it may even have rock below, which will have to be blasted out.
The road level should be lower than the Site: The Logic- Normally there is a storm water drain between the Site and the road, so when there is heavy rainfall, even if the drain overflows, the excess water will flow onto the road instead of the site. Also, all the excess water from the site will flow out into the drain and road instead of vice-versa.
CAN THE SLOPE BE CORRECTED AS PER VASTU SHASTRA?
In cities, it is difficult to get sites that meet the requirements of Vaastu. However, there are ways of correcting sites that are not in accordance with Vaastu.
Plot sloping down from the North-East to wards South-West can be corrected. If the North-East corner is at a higher elevation than other sides of the property, you can dig soil from that corner and dump it in the South and West portions. This way the land will slope down from the South-West toward the North-East.
Plot with a raised or has a humped in the centre of the plot, it again can be corrected. If the plot is raised in the centre then, the earth can be dug out and dumped towards the South-West of the plot.
Plot with a depressed centre can also be corrected. If the plot is depressed in the centre, then earth can be dug out from the rest of the Site and filled in the centre to balance out the levels.
Effect of T-Point House
T-point house are generally considered inauspicious as per Vastu Shastra and they are called Vedhi Shool in Vastu. A road that runs to the face of a plot is known as T-point and precisely Vedhi refers to the road and shool means spear, thus the meaning comes out to be spearing road. Such road is not good that run straight into the face of the house and Vastu recommends avoiding such plots while in existing houses with having T-point road Vastu rectifies the defects.
T-point is a major Vastu flaw in a plot and it has been observed in many cases that t-point house do not prosper & flourish. Road that run straight into the face of house are considered obstruction and symbolize as spear that obstructs the good fortune of house. According to Vastu there are eight types of T-points out of which four are better and rest are worst.
Vastu says all t-point plots are not bad and inauspicious, they can be considered on the basis of their placement in proper direction as some directions can have T-point roads. T-point on one side of plot can be considered by determining the right direction. On other way round, plot having T-point on the two sides is never recommended in Vastu and is said to be worst for occupants.
Vastu buildings are designed through the application of specific measurements and orientations, to be resonant with the cosmic energy matrix of the universe and therefore, if done properly, the house floods with healing and nourishing energies. Your life, your karmas, change for the better. The main idea of a Vastu structure is to resonate with earth and cosmic energies. The house needs to be in a particular alignment with north/south/east/west.
Vastu science in not focused on remedies. The fathers of this knowledge did not mean for it to be used to fix mis-built buildings. To practice rectification one must be a fully trained Vastu architect and know how to apply the important principles in a way that could be effective.
If your house or flat isn't built in accordance with Vastu, bless the house and treat it like a dear friend. It will serve you well. You can sanctify it with your own energy. Clean it, anoint it with good scents, and decorate it with flowers. Play sacred chants in it regularly. If you can achieve some peace with your house by acting in this way, then it will be fine.
Human beings ARE Vastu structures. You have the same vibrant structure within your heart that the Vastu architect structures within the building for resonance with Universal energy. Your thought forms are VERY powerful.
Now, looking over your question... If a house is situated a T-junction of a road and it is not busy, then don't worry about it. If the road is busy, your best help will be a solid high wall. BUT, in effect, there is really nothing to be done: the energy of the road comes at the house and may cause some disturbance. A house with a wide road coming directly at it is not advised.
Vastu for Wealth
Vastu and wealth is synonymous as one (Vastu) works well for the other (Wealth) and we can also say where things are according to Vastu wealth in flow will be unending. A Vastu compliment home can prosper you with good wealth. Wealth is the most important and essential priority in life and without money survival is impossible in all ways. To get an increase in your wealth, living place should be constructed with Vastu corresponding direction supportive for wealth. For good wealth energies should be supportive at specific direction that can give a boost to your finances. Explore some important Vastu tips to increase wealth: North is centre of Lord Kubera- God of wealth, so it is important to keep this direction energetic and positive so as to sustain good energies that help raise wealth.
North-east or Eshaan corner must be freed from any construction and if possible construct worship room while if it is not then keep this place clean and open.
locking East and North can harness money flow and obstruct in your earning capacity thereby increasing expenses over wealth.
Your house is a temple and we can only benefit from this temple if it is kept clean. Therefore to trigger up finances it is essential to keep all the clutter away from house.
Ensure that your house front door and entrance is not obstructed byany pole, wire, pit or other thing.
To load your locker with wealth, do not construct over-head tank in North-east because it is the place for under-water tank.
Bedroom Mirror
Mirrors play a significant part in our lives and can have drastic effect in changing lives. The placement of mirror in bedroom/room should be according to Vastu norms so that spouse residing in the room should have good conjugal relationship and children studying in the rooms should concentrate well on studies. We believe or not but glass and mirror effect our lives in most potent way and this make it important that we handle mirror and glass objects carefully with prior knowledge. There are some best permissible directions in which mirror can be placed without a hitch to avoid any mis happenings in the relationships and behavior. Placement of mirror should be in accordance with Vastu norms to reap the good benefits. Here are some essential tips & norms attached to the placement of mirror or glass: All types of mirror at home should only be placed on the walls of North or East direction.
Do not keep any kind of glass piece or other shinning thing at the main gate.
Glass or mirror should never be kept in the East facing and ensure that light from other people place do not fall on your home or office. This type of falling light is inauspicious for occupants that can harm their success and riches.
Glass decorative pieces, show piece, aquarium and wall clock and other such things must be installed in the East or North direction.
All the things related to glass or mirror in bedroom or dressing room should be kept at the height of 4 to 5 feet.
Mirror in bedroom should be placed in such a way that the bed or image of person standing out would not be visible in the mirror.
Window panes and doors of house must not be transparent.
Television and home theatre must be restored in the South-east direction only and when they are off keep them veiled so that mirror of their screen is not visible. Unveiled monitor or screen of television tends to make inmates lethargic.
A dressing table with huge mirror standing by the side of bed is considered good but if it is lying in front of bed reflecting our body or image then it is inauspicious.
In childrens room toiletry mirror should not be hanged near study table as it interferes with childrens concentration; beside that avoid hanging any kind of mirror in West direction especially in children room which makes it rather impossible to concentrate and feeling like impressing opposite sex is higher than concentration on studies.
South wall mirror should also be avoided as it tends to make childrens tub born and rebellious.
Vastu Advice for Prosperity.
The concept of Vastu yields impeccable results in the form of peace, prosperity and peace because this inquisitive science is based on five elements and eight cosmic directions responsible for life. Vastu follows some set of principle in order fetch peace and prosperity and positivity. The principles and norms of Vastu are all same for kind of construction such as commercial, residential and industrial and revolve around five governing elements or Panch bhootas and ruling directions. Today many houses are observed as discontent and far away from happiness and prosperity which is an obvious cause of Vastu defect. Wrong placement of rooms, bed and even small item like broken glass can hamper peace and prosperity. Therefore, it is essential to check your place for direction, placement and construction in corresponding to Vastu because any Vastu defect can obstruct your good prospects of prosperity. To yield good results and prosperity, follow Vastu tips:
To attain prosperity in house it is advisable to determine your entrance or front door direction that has to be according to Vastu because all positive energy arrives from here.
Ideal direction for entrance is East or North and ensure than front entrance or door is not obstructed by irrelevant thing such as pole,wire, vehicle or pit.
Under-water tank is ideally constructed in North-east direction and avoid any under water tank or septic tank in other corners or directions.
Over-head tank should be made in South-west direction in order to balance the energies surrounding the house and to ward off stress.
Master bedroom is advisable in South-west direction.
Kitchen should ideally be constructed in South-East direction.
Vastu Furniture
Every living and non-living thing on this cosmos gives out energy effecting the lives in different ways. Science of architecture which is precisely called Vastu-Shastra gives away norms of placement for everything relative to this earth. Furniture is important embellishment in our homes that makes the appearance of living place lively and comfortable. However proper orientation and direction for the placement of furniture is another important aspect in order to make the energies flow in sway to harmonize the environment. Placement of chairs, sofa, table and other things should be in accordance with the Vastu principles so that it benefits the people residing in home. Vastu guidelines for furniture placement are as follows:
Furniture should be ideally placed in West or South direction.
Avoid irregular shapes in furniture such as oval, triangular or circle.
Best shapes to be chosen in furniture are square or rectangle.
Always keep furniture away from the wall with the distance of 3 inches so that the positive energy flows properly without obstruction.
Keep away the clutter from near the furniture.
Bed in the room should be placed in South-west direction.
Dinning table should be placed in North-west position of the kitchen or living room.
Study table should be kept in East or North.
How to Set Up a Home office
Designing home office is an interesting idea and but could be an expensive undertaking.
Its design should be according to Vastu in order to get affordable. You need to have different items and equipment in your home office but ensure that should be installed in the right place. The following necessary things needed by an office are:
Office Desk
Office desks are important furniture piece needed by an office.
One must face North/East or Northeast while working.
Consider a desk with good storage advantage to support the important papers but a desk which supports a lot of storage should be avoided as it becomes clutter.
Make sure the desk you buy is rectangular, well-polished, hard and plain on the surface.
One must go for a square or rectangle working desk.
Irregular shape should be avoided.
The glass on the working table should be avoided.
Office Chairs
After desks chairs are the important part of any office and here you need to be careful about the cost and comfort.
The chair of the owner should have a high back.
The chair must be best at back support and with ergonomic features that will allow you to sit for long hours but should have a solid back. Always avoid the porous back.
The chair should not make the noise while moving.
Cabinets for Home Office
A good home office design demands usable filing cabinet to place files, documents and other papers.
The cabinet should be made on the South or the West wall.
The cabinet containing cash should open towards North.
Any kind of mirror/glass should be used with care and according to directions.
The cabinets should preferably be closed.
Placing Electronic Gadgets
Switch off the power of the machines when they are not in use.
Accessories for the Desk
If you are fond of putting accessories on the table, choose it with utmost care.
Never put any idol of God/Goddess on the table.
Putting of a pyramid increases the concentration.
Computer is incomplete without printer, scanner and fax machine, but they should be kept on the table in Southeast.
Effect of Cut in North-East Corner
North-east or Ishaan corner is the most significant and holy place in any plot or building which is also called place of God. Vastu held utmost importance for
Ishaan corner and suggest constructing pooja room here in North-east while if this corner is found missed or cut from the plot then certainly inmates have to suffer. This sacred corner could be extended but if it is cut in the plot then the effects are detrimental leading to complications and chronic health problems.
Vastu says cuts in North-east basically effect upcoming generation or genetic system.
There is a probability that children born in house having North-east corner cut, are generally deaf and mute.
Although Vastu expert say, if the owner already have children occupies the house then inmates will not suffer the way a new couple can.
Effect of a cut in North-east also relies on how near the corner is to the plot.
However, children who grow up in such plot apparently face problem at the time of their own children in the form of physical deformity. Always check the intensity of cut in North-east while heading towards purchasing a plot or existing house as it can cost life of your near and dear ones which is more precious than anything.
