    VAASTHU BRIEF

    One of the major obstacles that come in one's way is the non-availability of sufficient privateland either in big cities or small towns. Several things need careful consideration while going for

    construction of a building. For any building, the site (Kshetra) is the basic requirement and

    utmost care must be taken in its selection.

    The most important of all these is selecting the right plot or the site. Vastu Shastra, therefore,

    has given the utmost importance to selection of a right plot and has set down several significant

    principles. There are some important factors that you should always consider while looking for a

    plot. Whenever possible one should always try to follow the Vastu principles as violation of

    these principles can destroy the happiness of one's life.There are some important factors that

    you should always consider while selecting the plot.

    i)Types of soil

    ii)Location

    iii)Topography and surroundings

    iv)Selection of the plot

    i)Types of soil

    Earth is classified according to its color like brick red, dark brown, black, yellow or mixed,

    according to its smell, texture and taste. Black and clayey soil is not good for construction.

    The soil white in color, having lotus smell, sweet taste and which contains greenery is

    considered very good.

    The soil red in color, smelling blood and astringent in taste is good but needs some attention.

    The soil yellow/pale green in color, grainish smell and sour taste is average and needs a lot of

    rectification before commencement of work.

    The soil black in color, having pungent small and bitter taste should be avoided as it is not

    auspicious for construction of the houses.While designing the foundation, the load bearing capacity of the soil should be checked. Thereal analysis of soil should be done which determines the land selection for the plot and for thefoundation of the building.

    ii)Location

    The location of the plot is very important as the surroundings affects us directly and indirectly.You must take care of the following things:

  • 7/29/2019 Vaasthu Brief

    2/17

    One should not buy the land from people suffering from prolonged sickness or who have

    become insolvent, distressed or unfortunate people as the atmosphere of the particular space

    depends on the people living there.

    The soil of the land should not contain ant-hills, bones, skeletons.

    Old houses which are damaged due to fire, lighting, rain and storm etc., are not good. You should not buy the land which is sandwiched between two huge buildings.

    The plot at the T- junction should be avoided.

    iii)Topography and surroundings

    There are several factors which make a plot useable or non useable. The four directions, theshape, the existence of highways, cremation places, rivers, wells, places of worships, they allinfluence the VASTU of the place.

    There should not be any cemetery graveyard, tomb adjacent to the plot or in front or the back. If

    this is the condition, the people residing in that house will live in fear and will never have the

    peace of mind.

    A temple, church, mosque also should not be in front of any house otherwise the inmates will

    always be sick and mentally upset.

    Falling of shadows of the temples and trees nearby on the main building brings undesirable

    problems.

    iv)Selection of the plot

    Facing of the plots are considered important but there is a wrong notion that North and Eastfacing plots are better than South and West facing plots. This is not true, all the directions are

    equally important; it is up to us how much we follow the rules.

    The plot should be either square or rectangle in shape.

    Irregular shapes should be avoided or should be cured before construction.

    The site should be level or sloping towards North or east or North-East.We will provide you with the assistance in selection of the best suitable plot. We follow thefollowing steps:

    Check and determine the directions of the site.

    Check the soil of the site as it plays a major role in forming the vibrations of that particular site.

    Try to get a personal feel and touch of the property to observe positive or negative vibrations at

    the site.

    Prepare a Vastu analysis chart indicating important aspects and grading of the plot and

    suggestions

    VAASTHU CONSTRUCTION DETAILS

    The second stage after buying a land is to start construction. Now even if you have chosen abad land you can correct it by making proper construction and using Eco friendly materialaccording to vastu. If you have purchased a good land, it can be unsuspicious if you don't make

    the construction according to the rules of vastu. If you choose the wrong materials in wrongplace, they will start giving problem later. Imagine after whole construction you come to knowthat the material is the cause of worries. What will you do? You cannot demolish the wholebuilding , so its always better to have precautions rather than to go for cures.

    There are some important factors that you should always consider while designing the house.

    i)Open space around the buildingii)The proportioniii)The Levelsiv)Roofingv)The Height

    vi)Terrace / Porch / Portico / Balconyvii)Compound wallviii)Garage / Out houseix)Guard's roomx)Overhead tanksxi)Underground reservoirxii)Well / Bore - Well / Tube - WellXiii)Septic tanki)Open space around the building

    We have to carefully examine the space given to us around the building. Leave more space in the North and East as compared to South and West.

    The major construction should never be on the Northern and eastern wall.

    Even for the South/West facing plots, the open area in South & West should not be more than

    North & East.ii)The proportion

    The ratio between the length and breadth of the building should normally be 1:1 or 1:1.5 or

    maximum up to 1:2, it should never exceed this limit in any circumstance, otherwise it will

    become a 'long bar' shaped plot and is not at all auspicious for anyone.

    iii)The Levels

    At any level, whether Ground level or First level, the West, South, Southwest sides should bemore elevated than the North, Northeast and East sides. Basically the flow of water should

    always be from the South to North or West to East as it create a lot of positive energies.

    iv)Roofing

    The roofing slope should always be towards East and North so that the water always flows

    towards the North and East. If the roof is designed slanted, the slopes should be in north and

  • 7/29/2019 Vaasthu Brief

    4/17

    east sides. Slanting towards South or West should be avoided.

    v)The Height

    The height is related to weight. The height either be kept equal everywhere in the building or it

    will be preferred to keep the South and West higher than the North and East as the South, Westsides will automatically gets heavier and this is very auspicious. But never keep the North and

    east sides at more heights than the South, West.

    vi)Terrace / Porch / Portico / Balcony

    All these should always be located in the North, East or Northeast sides of the building to bring

    the health, wealth and happiness. The balconies should always face the North, East or

    Northeast.

    vii)Compound wall

    The compound is the wall that covers the boundary of the house. The compound wall either

    should be of same height and thickness in all the four sides or it will be best if it is thicker and

    taller in Southern and Western sides as compared to the Northern and Eastern sides. This is

    preferred as the thick wall of the South and West sides will prevent the afternoon sun and the

    setting rays of the sun, which are harmful for the humans. Light walls in North and East sides

    will allow the beneficial morning rays to come and penetrate in the house; they are full of

    Vitamin D and are the only source of obtaining it.

    viii)Garage / Out house

    The best place to construct them is the Northwest and Southeast corner and care should be

    taken not to block or cut the corners at the Southeast or Northwest and the quarter walls should

    not touch the wall at the Ea

    st or North side.

    ix)Guard's room

    A concrete or wooden shelter is made either in Southwest or Southeast and the shelter should

    be facing the East or North but it is important to ensure that the watchman is able to see every

    movement.

    x)Overhead tanks

    These tanks should be placed in South/West/Southwest as the tank becomes very heavy.

    xi)Underground reservoir

  • 7/29/2019 Vaasthu Brief

    5/17

    It should always be made in the North/East/Northeast.

    xii)Well / Bore - Well / Tube - Well

    These should be placed in Northeast or eastern sides preferably in between the mid North and

    Northeast as it bring all round prosperity and new opportunities for growth.Xiii)Septic tank

    These should be placed in Northwest or South west sides preferably in between the mid west

    and south . Strictly not place at Northeast and South West.

    RESIDENTIAL VAASTHU

    The meaning of vastu is dwelling, which is the home for god and humans. Vastu shastra is

    based on various energies that comes from atmosphere like solar energy from sun, cosmic

    energy, lunar energy, thermal energy, magnetic energy, light energy, wind energy. These

    energies can be balanced to enhance peace, prosperity and success. If a house is made

    according to these principles, the inmates enjoy all the happiness in life. If it is against vastu

    principals, it will be a place for all sort of problems, worries and no peace.

    i.Master bed roomThe Vastu plays a major role in placement and designing of the master bedroom. The way you

    sleep with your head in different direction and your placement of bed is a major decision which

    must be taken properly with utmost care. Here are some basic points one must adhere to get

    peace and prosperity in your bedroom.

    The master bedroom should always be located in the Southwest part of the house as Southwest

    represents the element Earth which implies the heaviness, which makes it as the ideal place for

    the master of the house.

    This is not at all suitable for children room, guest room, servant room or any other room.

    A great deal of attention should be paid to bedrooms in a house. One should sleep with headtowards South, East or West and never in north.

    There should not be any beam crossing over the bed. If it exists, proper rectification should be

    done immediately otherwise the health will be affected.

    The bed placed should be on the South/West walls and if not there, it should be kept at least 4

    away from the walls.

    The heavy almirah should be on the South/west wall.

  • 7/29/2019 Vaasthu Brief

    6/17

    The construction material for the bed should be the wood and the wrought iron beds should be

    avoided.

    All the electronic gadgets should be placed at a distance from the bed as the Electro- magnetic

    waves emitted by them interferes with the sleep.

    There should not be any mirror in front of the bed. The shape of the bed should be regular and any irregular shape should be avoided.

    The bed should never be placed in front of the bedroom door.

    The mattress used on the double bed should be a single one.

    The door of the bedroom should never produce the creaking noise.

    The colour scheme for the bedroom in Southwest direction should be in any earthy tone like

    browns, shades of almond, all families of earthen colour.ii. poojaUniverse is one of the beautiful creations of nature and everything stands alive only in thelimelight of truth. Just like every subject of human aspect is governed with rules, regulations &

    acts, similarly the art of worshipping has got certain key factor principles to attain all its benefits.

    While planning a house, due to the space constraints, many people tend to ignore a separatepooja room but we must not sideline the need to make a place for GOD. Thus by creating aroom for worshipping, we are creating a room to get charged with positive vibrations everymorning and that energy will energize our environment, mind, body and soul. Our workefficiency will increase and so the progress, prosperity and peace.

    This room should be designed carefully because when you do meditation, you should gain thepositive energies and then you can feel charged. If it is in wrong direction, then no matter howmuch meditation you do, you will not feel charged. There are certain rules which one mustfollow before the commencement of designing a pooja room.

    The pooja room should always be situated in the North, East or the Northeast side of the house. One should face towards East/North while worshipping.

    Ideally there should be no idols in the worship room. But if one wish to keep, the height of the

    idol should not be more than 9"and less than 2".

    While worshipping, the legs of the idol should be at the chest level of the person worshipping

    depending on the position, whether standing or sitting.

    Nothing should be stored above the cabinet or slab here the God's idol is placed.

    A Pooja room should never be made in a bedroom or on a wall adjacent to the bathroom wall.

    One shall not enter the pooja room for any purpose without washing his legs and hands.

    Cleaning the feet by rubbing them against each other is prohibited. The left hand must cleanthem and the water must be poured by the right hand. Reared side of the feet must always be

    cleaned first.

    In pooja room, copper vessels only shall be used particularly where water is collected.

    Triangular pattern of any God should not be drawn in the Pujaghar.

    The colour of walls of pooja room should be white, lemon or light blue and the marble used

    should be white.

    Silver or gold plates or items can be used for any purpose in pooja room. Usage of iron and

    stainless steel items in pooja room is strictly prohibited.iii.BathroomThe ideal place to locate the bathroom (bathing only) as per Vaastu is on the eastern side. Inolden days (even today) in villages, people used to take bath in the early morning. Come out of

    the bathroom, see and worship the "Rising Sun" chanting mantras (hymns).

    Nowadays placing the toilet and bathroom combined and even attached to bedrooms is gainingpopularity first because of paucity of space, second because of convenience. But there aresome basic Vastu principles, which should always be kept in mind.

    Bathrooms should not lie in the Northeast corners of the house.

    The bathrooms and toilets should never be constructed beneath the staircase.

    The toilets should be constructed to the west of the building or the north-west side.

    Bathrooms and toilets should be located at a safe distance from the kitchen and the dining

    room.

    The WC in the toilet should be in the west, the south or the northwest side of the west. The WC should face North-South axis.

    The water pipes, shower, bathtub etc. should be placed in northeast zone of the bathroom.

    Heater, switchboard, all other electrical appliances should be in the southeast direction.

    There should be windows or ventilators in the east or the north.

    Bath should be taken in the west side.

    The water storage of the taps of the toilet should be in the east, the north or the northeast

    corner. It should never be in the southeast or the southwest direction.

    Mirror should always be on the East wall.

    The dirty linens should be placed in the West Side of the bathroom as setting rays are veryharmful for bacteria and kill them.

    If there is almirah, it should always be on the Southwest Side of the bathroom.

    The slope of the bathroom floor should be towards north and east so water drains to the

    northeast side of the bathroom.
