Tips on Vastu Shastra

Vastu Remedies for your Blissful Future

In today’s fast paced life, it is just getting impossible for people to make sure that their house has all the Vastu advantages. In such situations people are usually living in flats where there might be some Vastu problems and issues.

Such Vastu defects may be solved with the help of changes in the rooms, placement of objects and rearrangement of the interiors. Doors should be facing east and should open inside so that energy may remain inside. Grease the hinges of the doors regularly.

An important point to remember is that, the total number of doors should be even for each floor but the count should not end with a zero. The shape of doors should be rectangular and one must avoid square doors. There should be no water body in front of the entrance door.

Important to note that east is of greater value in Vastu as it is the direction of the sunrise. This direction brings prosperity, positive vibrations and wholeness in life, according to Vastu. East is the direction that cleanses, energies and purifies all existing creation. So, this direction should always be kept open, ventilated, and clean to let the sunrays enter the house without any obstacles. Stairways of the house should be to the south, west or southwest.

Additionally, every house must have a place of worship and this should be located in the east or northeast direction. If it is not at right direction it can cause loss of concentration and perturb the mind. All idols and photographs should be facing east or west.

And if your bedroom also doubles up as a place of worship for you and your family, you must sleep with your head pointed east. East is an ideal direction to have a study room, too. And hence, children must face north, northeast or east, while they are engaged in academic activities.

According to Vastu, living rooms, TV room, bedrooms and rest rooms are best located in the west. Especially for girls, it will be ideal to have the bedroom in the northwest direction. Beds in bedroom should not be put under a beam. To avoid health problems, do not point your feet towards the door of the bedroom while sleeping.

While following Vastu science, Overhead water tanks, washrooms and toilets can be located in the west. Underground water tanks, boring and swimming pools are not allowed in this direction as according to Vastu, the right place for underground water tanks, tube wells and swimming pools is the northeast direction.

Accordingly, the bathrooms and toilet facilities should be located in the west or south sides of the house. Vastu says that people should avoid constructing toilets, washrooms and bathrooms in the East direction, as it contaminates the solar energy.

Vastu also says not to construct store rooms and generator rooms in the East and the Northeast direction. Southeast is the place for generators, kitchen and other fireworks. And if kitchen is in the Northeast direction, it slows down the affection among family members. Vastu also recommends usage of red stone as a kitchen slab.

Vastu also recommends that people should not hang mirrors on the West or South walls because this will rebound the positive energy within the house. One can hang family photos on the West wall, so as to receive solar energy in a better manner. Also Vastu forbids keeping of broken mirrors in the house. All these Vastu recommendations and suggestions are set to drive you towards better prosperity and contentment in life.
