Vastu Shastra
The basic necessity of civilized man is shelter. Shelter not only
shelters us from the vagaries of Nature but shapes man’s destiny into a wonderful
form by bringing into symmetry the PANCH BHOOTAS namely EARTH, WATER, WIND, FIRE
and SKY.
Vastu is essentially that science which demands correct placement of its structures
and balancing of NATURAL forces or Pancha Bhoothas. Vastu today has attained UNIVERSAL
application countries like America, China and Japan. The word “Vastu” has
its origin in “VASA” meaning ‘Inhabitation’ and
Shastra’, as Sanskrit word, equivalent to the modern concept of ‘Science’.
To sum up, Vastu is the science of inhabitation. So, Vastu and engineering are like TWO
sides of the same COIN. Vastu indicates the proportion and ratios to be used. Of human
society. This successfully proves that Vastu is the concept applicable all times and in
all Ages. Vastu Shastra ensures optimum utilisation of material resources in accordance
with the shape of the building, the are a to be utilised, the dimensions, symmetry of
doors and windows and amalgamation with the structures both inside and outside. Every
construction namely residential house, office, factory, industry, commercial sites
and business complexes will flourish and profit only by the application of Vastu
Principles.
1. Vastu depicts the advantages and disadvantages involved in construction of
structures.
2. Vastu Shastra essentially reveals the art of the correct placement of all
its structures and its components in a building structure.
The application of Vastu from age old days upto modern period and its universal nature,
observing carefully and cautiously all the elevations, depressions, topography,
squaring and angling in accordance with its principles will enhance our Health, Wealth and
Prosperity.
Constructions with Improper Vastu Principles and their effects :
1. Many people so called rich, living in fabulous mansions may not be truly
rich and happy. But a person on daily wages living in a small house may be truly
rich and happy. The cause may be attributed to the application of Vastu.
2. Quarrels among the family members, JUDICIAL problems, rivalry between
Business partners are attributed to the defects in the application of Vastu Shastra.
3. Financial problems like debts, poor savings and extravagant expenditure
are caused by the defects of Vastu.
4. Defects in Vastu Shastra lead to many problems and upsets in business,
disturbing the very basic set up itself and ultimately resulting in regular losses and
finally frequent changes in profession.
5. Frequently an industry, observing all the Vastu Principles with less
facilities, resources and lack of experience may be flourishing profitably, but the case
may not be the same with another industry though provided with all facilities, resources,
skilled and experienced persons.
6. Legal problems, Industrial disputes, Labour problems, Low Production
failing to START the industry, and if started, frequent breakdowns, failing to reap a good
fruit for their labour are all due to improper applications of Vastu.
7. In certain cases, once a profitably running industry when takes over
another industry will now been found on the path of losses. No doubt, Vastu holds on this.
Just as we cautiously supervise over our health, food habits and others, thus protecting
out body from all ill health, in the same way we have to take the helping hand of Vastu
Shastra which saves us from all sorts of upheavals, thus granting us all round happiness
and prosperity. A site satisfying the Vastu Principles ensures Peace and Prosperity,
making a SWEET HOME. Vastu effects both the owner and the tenant. Just at in :
1. Bad effects if Street focus, Road absorption and Road hit, defects of North West
go a long way in affecting us. But this can be balanced by Vastu Principles.
2. If North East is according to Shastra, Prosperity prevails.
3. Over Head Water Tanks in the South West is advantageous, though in few
cases, that on North West or South East is acceptable. But that on North East is not
acceptable.
4. Constructing a Kitchen in East South is favourable. Though in some cases
this can also be in South West direction and North West direction, but never in North East
or in the room in North Easterly directions.
5. Twisting the pillars while construction to North East direction involves
many defects due to the projection of edges. This only enhances the defects of the
structure ultimately resulting in the clashing of the projected parts with the
neighbouring projections.
6. Main Entrance of any Site, Industry Floor or any type of structure also
play an important role in Vastu.
Thus PEACE, PROPERITY, HEALTH and NATURE of the inhabitant and his family members will
develop only by observing and adopting the principles of Vastu in placing Steps, Roofs,
Verandahs, Machinery, Industrial Sheds, Insulation, Underground and Overhead
Tanks, Boilers, Generators, Wells, Cooling-Towers, Outhouses, Flooring both interiors and
exterior, Drainage tanks, Lines, Cooking Furnace, Border walls, Heights and thickness,
Bedrooms sleeping postures and placement of Sitting Chambers all play an effective role.
Shape of
the Site (Part-I)
The symmetrical geometry of shape is good in general. However,

effects are summarised herein below :
SHAPE
EFFECTS
Square / Rectangular Overall growth
Circular Increases mental capabilities.

Bird Beak Unhappiness
Shape of the Site (Part-II)
If the
Square or Rectangular geometry is deformed due to extensions or reductions at various
corners, the effects will be as mentioned below : -

less than 90°) Financial Loss, Unhappiness & Loss of Reputation.
South-West Corner Ill Health, Poor for Human Growth, Financial Loss & Unwanted
Expenses, Mental unrest, Litigation, Loss of Position or Reputation.
