Some Vastu Tips (Vedic Feng Shui)

[Guest guest]

'Vaastu' - The science of building homes in harmony with nature.

 

The world once thought to be unfathomable, has now reduced to a

Global village. With the increasing awareness about subjects like

Astrology, Palmistry, Ayurveda, Yagnas and Gem therapy people have

now started rediscovering these forgotten science and their

significance in everyday life.

 

 

It is history repeating itself for the modern man. After all the

struggles and experiments with the nature, he has fallen back on

these good old concepts.

 

 

These occult sciences are not mere superstitions, but have

scientific proofs to its credibility. And, Vaastu is one such

science that helps you in building your living place that can bring

permanent peace and harmony.

 

 

SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE FOR VAASTU

 

 

Man is always been a tiny part in the universe gripped by the laws

of the nature, any attempt by him to subdue the cosmos has always

lead to wide degree destruction. Vaastu brings about synchronisation

between you and your living place, and helps you to blend perfectly

with the nature.

 

How does earth's magnetic field effect bird's flight

 

The earth is divided into two poles, the North Pole and the South

Pole, which are considered to be the magnetic ends of the planet. It

is scientifically proven that the magnetic waves or currents flow

between these poles.

 

Pigeons and many other birds are tuned to the alignment of these

magnetic waves, and use it to find their way home. But, it was

recently found that when tiny magnet is planted on the head of the

pigeons and other birds they tend to go astray. This simply proves

that the magnetic field of our planet does surely effect living

organism on earth.

 

Sunlight and you

 

For the first half of the day, the sunlight enters our houses from

the East and during the second part it enters through the west.

There is scientific evidence that the morning sunlight can provide

vitamin D and other energies to keep you fit all through the day.

Hence, in Vaastu Shastra it is advised that a house should have

windows and doors placed in such a way that maximum sunlight enters

inside.

 

 

Position of your pillow and your sleep

 

You may have noticed that if you change the direction of the pillow,

your sleep gets disturbed and, once the pillow is brought back to

the old position you tend to have a sound sleep. The brain responds

positively or negatively to direction or angle or height, even if

you are unaware of the changes.

 

Your HOMEWORK

 

Points to remember before buying your own plot

 

The Vaastu rules

 

The shape of your plot should either be square or rectangular. It

should always have a regular shape, and should not be of irregular

shape with jagged edges.

The natural rainwater always flows towards the North and the East,

hence the ground level of the North and the East should be lower

than levels at the South and the West.

An underground water tank or a well should be situated at the North-

Eastern corner of the plot. In such cases, the inhabitants will be

able to fulfill all their desires, maintain good health and become

gradually wealthy.

The height of the building in the South and West should be more than

that in the North and East for the rainwater to flow.

The terrace of the first floor should preferably be in the North and

East. More open space should be left in the North and East than in

South and West.

The kitchen should preferably be in the South-East. North-West is

considered to be the 2nd best.

Toilet should be avoided in the South-West and North-Eastern corners

of the house.

Entrance should preferably be from the North or the East with more

door and window openings in the North and East directions.

Bedrooms should be in the South-West corner of the house. This gives

all round prosperity. Never have a bedroom in the North-East corner.

Beds and cots should be placed touching West wall or South wall, and

the head should be placed in such a way that one sees East or North

while the person is on the bed.

Almirah/wardrobes and wardrobes also should be placed in South or

West directions so that they will face the North or East

respectively. No almirah/wardrobes should be kept in North-East

corner. In case there is no other alternative, then the

almirah/wardrobes should be made of light material. If these rules

are not followed, there will be great financial troubles.

Cash box should be kept in the North. However, heavy box and

almirah/wardrobes used for keeping cash and jewelry may be kept in

the South, West or South-West to give financial stability.

The best place for the puja room (room for worship) is North-East

corner. But don't forget to have a window to let the sunlight come

in.

Never have a staircase in the North-East corner of the building. In

case this is unavoidable, make sure that the room in the South-West

corner is higher than the highest point of the staircase.

Balconies should be towards the East or North.

The compound walls of South and West should be thicker than the

walls of North and East.
