Vastu Sastra
Before preparing a plan to build a house, home, shop, apartment complex, school, colleges, industries, factories, hospitals,
public buildings…etc. the basic Vastu rules are to be learnt and referred. These rules are derived from the age old practices,
Vedic scriptures and scientific facts. By following these rules people can fine tune the Vastu energy by balancing the Natural
elements and creating a free flow of these energies inside the buildings without fail.
Most of the religious scriptures of Hinduism explain the way of peaceful life through rules called Shastra. It is like telling a kid
that if he tell lie God will pluck his eyes to educate him about the truth.
Many people think that Shastras are olden words and not suitable for present centaury. But the fact is they were written for the
benefit of mankind to be followed at any period of life. Only thing is to understand the basics and logics for applying them to
suit to the present way of life and culture.

Maintaining bed rooms are very easy as per Vastu, to get a great life. We spend the whole night here and can eaqsily gain the good
Vastu energies while in sleep without any efforts. If your bed room creates good energy you can sleep well, get up early and work
actively the whole day. And to say least if you don't sleep well, have lot of dreams, wake up with confusion regularly then the main
cause could be the bad arrangements in your bed room. Check these points and confirm you are right with Vastu and correct what
are all possible.
Master Bed Room
As per Vastu Shastra the master bedroom should be in the south-west corner of the building, in every floor. The main earning
member or the Eldest of all should stay in the master bedroom of highest floor. This room can be used by father or the eldest son, or
who controls the family expenses.
Normally people use the Master bedroom for safe keeping the valuable and important things they own. That is why Vastu prescribes
strict instructions for the position of master bedroom. The south west corner of the house is called “Kuber Moolai” in Vastu Shastra
and its good Vastu vibrations are very important for financial steadiness of the owner.
For getting good financial wealth by Vastu principles a good heavy locker has to be positioned and kept in the south-west corner of
this bed room. All important documents of properties, bank pass books, cheque books, account books, cash, jewellary, silver vessels
and ornaments have to be safely kept in this safety locker.
Whatever things are stored in this place will grow and prosper the owner of the house. The person staying in this room will lead
others in the family and control them in all aspects. Vastu suggests that this portion should never be rented out or provided for guests
or children. If children stay in this room, their studies will be spoiled and character might become worsen. Southwest corner of the
bedroom should never be left empty.
The other bedrooms as per Vastu Shastra can be provided at the south (positive) and west (positive) direction of the house. It is also
recommended for the eldest son, provided the parents stay in the master bed room. The second son or next earning member of the
family can stay in this room. If the master bedroom or bedroom of a married couple is in the south-east direction of the main
building, it results in unnecessary quarrels between them and some of them get divorced also.
Vastu Tips
Beds should be placed so as the head of the person should be in south or west direction.
The bedroom should not be constructed above porch, car parks and kitchen.
The bed rooms should not be in the central portion of the building or in the basement, as it may lead to mental instability in person
using such bedrooms.
If any cabinets of almirahs are constructed or placed in the bedroom, which contain valuable documents, cash, jewelry etc., they
should be positioned in the south-west corner of the room and as such the doors are opening towards north or east.
An attached bathroom to the bed room can be planned in the north-west or south-east of the room, but never on south-west or
north-east direction.
Entrance door to the bedroom may have a window opposite to it.
If there is more than one floor, the head of the family (elder person) should have a bedroom on the upper floor and in the south-west
corner. This room should never be used as a bedroom of young children, or unnecessary quarrels are likely to occur in the house.
The southwest side of the house and all the rooms inside the house should always be heavier than the east and northeast side.
Maximum open space should be left in the northeast side of the bed rooms and toilets or bath rooms should not be provided at this
corner.
Avoid keeping a TV in the bedroom. If a TV is kept, it should never be in front of bed, as it works as a mirror and keeping a mirror in
front of bed generates negative energy. The dressing-table in the bedroom should be kept west or south direction, so as these mirrors
always face the east or north direction.
The mirrors kept in the bed room in the dressing table, cupboards, shelves etc., should be positioned so that they don’t reflect the
bed. If they reflect any person while sleeping they will suffer from any disease which can’t be cured fully.
Reading and writing activities can be carried out in the north or east side of the bedroom. The door of the bedroom should be in the
east, the west or the north but never on the south-west corner of the bed room. Having windows in the east and north and smaller
windows in west is beneficial.
Study room
As per Vastu Shastra Study room can be located in the north-east, east, north-west and portion of the house, but never be in the
south-west and south-east corners. Hindu Gods Lord Budha (Mercury), Lord Guru (Jupiter), Lord Chandra (Moon) and Lord Shukra
(Venus) are the Gods that give intelligence and education to Children. Vastu directions for study room are based on their effects and
positions in Jyotish Shastra.
It is better having a study room in the west direction, as mercury increases brain power, Jupiter increases ambition and curiosity and
Moon helps in the generation of new thoughts and ideas. Venus helps in the growth of talent.
The doors and windows shall be positioned so as the sun light is not obstructed to flow inside the study room.
Windows should be larger on the eastern side and smaller on the western side of the room.
Study table should be placed in such a direction that the face of the student while studying is towards the north-east, east or north.
Book rack and cabinets should be placed in the south-west and northwest of the room and never in the east, north, south-east and
north-east directions.
No cabinets or tables should be placed in the center of the room. It is best to leave the center portion of the study room empty.
Guest Room
The north-west corner is ideal as a guest room as per Vastu Shastra. This is the corner denoted for the Lord Vaayu and denotes
movement. Guests so placed in this bed room mean that they will not stay unduly long.
The south east corner is also a better option for a guest bed room.
The north, east and west parts of the house also can be considered as guest room.
But the south-west corner of the house should never be allotted for the guest room.
Kid’s Bedroom
For getting good sleep in the night and freshness when waking up, the children's bedroom must be fully Vastu compatible. Getting
high marks and ranks are directly depending in the position of bedroom and study room of the children.
Often even intelligent and bright students fail to achieve their goals just because of the bad Vastu vibrations in their bed rooms. If
their rooms are not as per Vastu the memory power and confidence levels are badly affected due to the negative energies of Vastu.
If any children seem to be excellent in intelligence and activities but poor in performance in the exams parents must take steps to
check their bed position, study table position and the place where the books are kept. If these Vastu factors are not corrected, their
hard work is wasted and prosperous future is lost.
Vastu Shastra must be followed to get the complete good vibrations to make them healthy and mentally sharp.
As per Vastu Shastra Children's rooms can be in the west, north or east of the building. A north-west corner and west side bedroom is
best for children. A north- east corner bedroom can also be used for unmarried children or guests.
Vastu Tips
As a general rule of Vastu, there must not be any mirror opposite to the bed in a bedroom. A television screen is also considered as
mirror, when turned off, and so even a TV is not allowed to be kept exactly opposite to the bed. But as people generally insist on
keeping a TV in bedroom, it can be kept to the right or left of the bed at angle for a comfortable view from bed.
The children study table can be fixed in the north-east corner of the room. The bookshelf should not be fixed near the north-eastern
corner, but preferably on south and west walls of the children’s room.
The bed or cot in the children's room can be in the southwest portion of the bed room with head position in the east or south
direction.
The door of the bathroom should not be exactly opposite to the bed. The furniture in the room should be placed a few inches away
from the walls, as it saves the positive energies of body and mind.
The study table, if placed in the bedroom, should be placed so as to ensure that the child should face east, north or north-east while
studying. Facing east ensures better concentration while studying.
A television should never be placed in the bedroom, but if it is necessary it can be placed in north-west of the room. And a computer
can be placed in south-east corner of the room.
Uneven Sized Plots
Before buying plots, houses, shops and factories people must observe the shape and size of the plot. Some plots are defective as per
Vastu Shastra and needs to be corrected, before constructing any building with proper guidance from a Vastu Consultant. Otherwise
the construction will be delayed and harm the owner in various ways.
One of the main reasons of Vastu defect of a plot is its size. The square and rectangle shaped plots are the best ones as per Vastu
Shastra. The magnetic waves are created and surrounded evenly in these plots.
If the sizes or shapes are not symmetric these magnetic forces are distributed unevenly and affect the Vastu energy. Some houses,
shops and buildings can be observed vacant and unoccupied even in main market places. One of the reasons is the size of the plot or
shop which damages the Vastu energies of the place.
While developing the layouts some times the size of some of the plots are not equal, of course it is avoidable if the developer has
some knowledge of Vastu or at least consult a Vastu expert before planning the layout.
Vastu Effects
In our research we have found that even though the buildings are as per Vastu Shastra, the people living in the plots with uneven size
complaint about serious misfortunes and hardships in their life. This main point must be remembered that even if some portion of the
site may have to be sacrifices to correct the defective plot, the outcome is a peaceful living and not the money wasted.
Every place creates a magnetic energy as per Vastu. The energy is related to shape of the plot. Vastu Shastra instructs that only
square and rectangle plots emit and circulate good vibrations. Round, irregular, triangular plots always reflect bad energies.
When the plot is not rectangle or square the magnetic effect is unbalanced and is completed. The proper flow of energy is assumed
with the shape of the plot and irregularity will lead to disconnected and disturbed magnetic waves.
For example if a plot is uneven, extending in the north-west direction, it is bad as per Vastu. Supposing without correcting, a house is
built on it, the owner and the people living in this plot will have these following problems.
This plot can be corrected by making the north-west corner at right angles as below, by wasting certain portion and leaving that
portion to the road.
Plots opposite to Road
Some plots are very defective and causes innumerable troubles beyond imagination and rectification, when a road, street or lane falls
opposite the plot, house, shop...Etc. While some of these plots under certain conditions are favorable to the plot owner, few can
damage the good effects of the building. But every defective plot can be corrected with correct advice from a Vastu consultant.
Before buying plots, houses, shops and factories people must observe the locality and notice if there is a road opposite of the
particular site not only in the front side but also in any of the side.
Some houses, shops and buildings are often vacant and unoccupied even in main market places. One of the reasons is a road opposite
of the plot or shop which damages the Vastu energies of the place.
While developing the layouts sometimes the roads happen to fall opposite some of the plots. Of course it is avoidable if the developer
has some knowledge of Vastu or at least consult a Vastu expert before planning the layout.
This road opposite a building is called "Theru Kuthu" in Tamil and "Poison Arrow" in Feng Shui. It is always better to consult with an
experienced Vastu Consultant to determine whether a road opposite a plot is good or bad.
Vastu Effects
Many shops can be observed in crowded places also not doing well which are opposite a street. Even where the cost of the plot is
very high few places are always vacant because of a lane or street opposite to that place.
But some are very good and prosperous even though they face a street opposite to their plot. This is the Vastu energy which are
created by this street some are good and some are bad. In Chinese Feng Shui this phenomena is called as "Poison Arrow" and in Tamil
it is called as "Therukuthu".
Always an experienced Vastu Consultant must be approached for rectification. By doing simple rectifications prosperity can be
achieved. If not rectified by proper Vastu methods serious misfortunes may happen and whatever investments and efforts are taken
might go wasted.
For example in a south-west corner plot, if there is a road opposite to its west of south-west corner it is a major Vastu defect. This
road being at a wrong direction as per Vastu Shastra can cause the following troubles to the plot owner and the people living in the
house.
The plot owner may meet with accidents, which can hospitalize him for very long time.
The people living in the place may commit suicide and die.
Sudden and un-expected death of elderly people living in the house may happen.
The females living in the house may become mentally ill or get incurable disease.
Huge financial loss in business due to unforeseen circumstance can make the owner popper.
If the main door is kept in the west of south-west corner, the plot owner may go to jail due to a quarrel, can get heart
attack, major surgery, accidents of fatal in nature, ..Etc.
Before designing your new house, you must learn few basic concepts about Vastu. People often get confused of reading lot of books
about Vastu. This article about doors, bath room, sump and bore well gives you some important advice about the best method for
building a house.
Doors
1. Vastu perfection of a house and all the rooms is based on the position of the main door and other doors only. Hence due
care must be given while planning the doors in a house.
2. The number of doors in a floor can be in odd numbers. The main door has to be wider and higher if possible compared to all
other doors. Always doors should not be directly fixed with columns.
3. Doors can be fixed after constructing a brick wall at least for 6 inches width. If the main door and the rear door are aligned
in same line, i.e. exactly opposite to each other, it brings good fortunes to the house.
4. While fixing the main door it is good to perform a Pooja. In Hindu culture it is a habit of keeping small pieces of nine
precious gems and five precious metals. The faith is that they give blessings of the God while people pass the doors every
time.
5. The main door must have a rail made of wood at the bottom. The other doors may or may not have a railing at the bottom
as per convenience.
6. The number of main entries must be contained to a maximum of two only. Three doors can be provided if separate portions
in the main house for any other purpose like for renting is built.
Bath room
1. The east and west portion of the house is best for constructing a bathroom as per Vastu principles. The morning and
evening rays of the Sun are believed to be extremely beneficial for Health as Vastu is mainly based with the Sun Rays, hence
proper windows should be provided in the bathroom.
2. The sun light disinfects the bath room. The slope of the bathroom floor should be towards north and east so that water
drains to the north-east side of the bathroom.
3. A geyser can be installed in south-east of the bathroom.
4. Taps and shower can be in north so the water drains to the north-east.
5. Bath tub can be on the west side with head-side in south.
6. Avoid a door on the south-west of bathroom.
7. A washing machine can be placed in the north-west or south-east portion of the bathroom.
Toilets
Vastu for Toilets suggests, toilets should to be in the north-west and south -east corner of the house or building or bedrooms. Avoid
constructing a toilet in the center of the building, south-west and in the north-east of the building. When it has to be an attached
toilet, let it be to the northwest side of the particular room. The second alternative is the southeast of the building or room.
Toilets should never be constructed adjacent to kitchen and Pooja room as per Vastu Shastra, as the bad energy will spoil the purity
and divinity.
As per Vastu Shastra north east corner (Eeshanya) is the junction of Kubera and Indra, it is said that toilet in the north-east may
gradually weaken the Finances and the general prosperity of the master of the house. The children and elders may get diseases and
often visit hospitals.
As per Vastu Shastra Toilets built in the south-west corner of the house makes the owner of the house financially weak, indecisive and
his health may suffer. South west corner of a room or house must be totally avoided for constructing toilets.
Please Note:-
1. Have the bigger window on the east and north and a smaller one in the south and west directions of the toilet.
2. Position the Toilet seats facing south or north and never facing west or east.
3. Mirrors in the toilet may be on the south and west walls.
4. Doors can be on the east or north direction.
1. The Sump, Bore well and well should not be in front of the main door of the house.
2. It should not touch the compound wall or the main walls of the house.
3. It should not obstruct the Gate in the compound.
4. Clear space should be provided from the septic tank so as to ensure there is no seepage from it.
5. Sump, Bore well and well should never be dug if any of the women in the family are pregnant.
6. The Sump and well must be cleaned every three months.
7. A Portion of the Cover should be kept open with filters, so that enough ventilation remains inside the well or sump.
8. Otherwise a pipe of at least 8 inches diameter must be fitted at a place with a height equivalent to the height of the ground
floor for ventilation.
9. If the well is closed without providing ventilation, it brings in disasters to the family members.
10. The well water must be used at least for the gardening purpose every day, as abandoning the well water may cause serious
setbacks to the peace of the family members.
11. If the well is found to be polluted by dead creatures, the polluted water (as much as possible) should be removed and Pooja
should be performed to cleanse it according to local traditions.
The doors in a flat or apartment is very important aspect of Vastu due the position of it lead to lot of other Vastu effects
indirectly. If the door is positioned properly, the things and furniture can be placed as per Vastu rules, if not everything will go
wrong and affect the overall Vastu energies of the flat or apartment.
Due to the constraints in planning most of the builders forget Vastu aspects and concentrate only on the design and comfortable
style while drawing the layout of a Flat. Symmetric construction of flats and the entry points from the lift and staircases make the
difficulty to the extreme to follow Vastu.
Before buying or renting a flat or apartment it must be noted and observed for the main door position as per Vastu. Most people
often have their mindset about the facing of the house. Some say that the best suitable for them is north facing or east facing only.
Very few people prefer renting or buying west or south facing apartment or flats. This aspect is just a myth and there is no truth is
there.
Any flat is good if it is built and utilized as per Vastu principles. For example if a flat is east facing but has a has a master bedroom in
the south east corner and kitchen in the south west corner, then this flat is not at all as per Vastu. People who buy or rent this flat will
suffer with lot of financial strains and often visit hospitals.
For East facing flats:
The main door can be planned in the extreme ends of north side or east side of the flat, so that the north east corner is occupied with
the main door. That means the door will be having good natural lighting and open for the entry of the Vastu energy. Also the north
east corner will become weightless automatically. And the sun light will be flowing freely without any obstruction for the other places
of the flat.
The door can be situated up to the center of the eastern walls of the walls of the flat. A door in the southern side of the eastern wall
and at the extreme end of the south east corner is a bad one as per Vastu Shastra and must be avoided. A main door in the south east
corner will bring bad luck and the people may suffer due to financial strains.
Our Earth is having life just because of the Energies emitted from the Sun. The Earth and all the Planets around us were all
part of the Sun once upon a time and are revolving in a cycle around it. The light and heat energy emitted by Sun is basis of
our life hood.
East facing plots and grounds are lucky to have the Sun Energy in the morning time bright and clear. Morning Sun has lot of
rays to create good health in our body. The Sun light brings the active energy and removes the laziness from our body.
These rays also kill the gems and viruses from our plot in the morning and protect us from diseases.
As per Vastu East is the direction of Lord Indra who is the king of Deva. He is the cause of prosperity and happiness among
human. The east facing building is preferable for peace and prospers one’s life. It is better to consult a Vastu Expert to attain
the extreme good energies of this plot.

Shop and show room owners must think about the Vastu aspects of their shops to better gain financial returns from their investment
and hard work. Often in our research we have noticed that many shops perform poorly even if they are situated at a good place with
best offers and managements, just because of the poor Vastu compliance.
For good sales, customer flow, satisfaction of buyers and smooth running of the operations of shops and show rooms shop owners
must follow Vastu Shastra. Not just because of the fact that Vastu is a very old science, but also because of positive results given by it.
Vastu Shastra is not only confined to Indian sub continent because it originated from this country. More and more westerners are
nowadays designing and constructing their shops as per the guidance provided by Vastu.
Basic rules of Vastu are applicable in all kinds of structures. Like Vastu based homes give mental, physical and financial well-being,
similarly Vastu based shops and showrooms can provide happiness and prosperity.
Vasthu advice for shops and showrooms in this website is based on the practical research by Vasthurengan of various factors, which
include the location of the shop, shop/showroom exteriors including its shape of the plot, placement of cash counter, seating position
of the owner and the employees, placement of goods, direction for the entrance, exit etc. In this article, we have provided some
useful Vastu tips for shops.
Vasthurengan can be contacted for fixing an onsite consultation appointment for reaping the benefits of Vastu by remodeling the
setup of their shops and show rooms.

market places. This because of a High energy of Vastu is created due to natural of those places like nearby temples, on the roads that
extend towards North East direction, lakes or rivers in the north, east or north east directions…etc.
For example T.Nagar in Chennai Metropolitan City is ideally located with great Vastu Energy. This area is directly connected with the
sea by a lengthy road extending from its north east corner. Clothes and Jewellary worth Millions of Rupees is being purchased from
thousands of people who throng this small place from various parts of the country daily. Even small shops are also doing well in this

Vastu Tips for toilet and bath rooms in a flat:
The east and west portion of the house is best for constructing a bathroom as per Vastu principles.
The morning and evening rays of the Sun are believed to be extremely beneficial for Health as Vastu is mainly based with the Sun
Rays, hence proper windows should be provided in the bathroom.
The sun light also disinfects the bath room. The slope of the bathroom floor should be towards north and east so water drains to the
north-east side of the bathroom.
West facing plots have one road in the West side of the plot. The meaning is these buildings have a road on the West direction
when looked from their entrance or inside the building. These following suggestions are same for houses and flats that have the
West side road and even shops and offices that have a road on the West side.
To determine whether your building is on a West facing plot, it is better to refer a good compass and determine the exact
degrees. Or you can judge the rays of Sun and the shadow of nearby buildings in the evening time when the Sun sets in the west.
The Sun light will fall on the front side of your building when you enter it in the evening if it is West facing plot.
Vastu effects
Often the West facing houses are not most sought after for purchase like the east facing ones. Because of the fact that most of the
people living in the West facing homes are not prosperous and wealthy compared to others. This is only a myth and not true
practically observed by our research. If any buildings are built following the Vastu rules this plot benefits the owner.
The plots which has a road on west side is called west facing plot. The effects of this plot will be on the males living in this house. As
per our research west facing plots are not so flourishing except a few and can be considered as third graded if major Vastu defects are
done in the construction of a building. For example very few temples are built in west facing place, and many of the temples which
are facing west are running into management problems and financial constraints.
But if the plot is properly designed with Vastu rules building structure with consultation of an Expert this west facing buildings, flats
and offices also are very good. Many of the famous Industries and Show rooms are successful in the west side roads.
Vastu Tips
These are the main Vastu points to be kept in mind before designing a house in a west facing plot. The good effects of Vastu can be
utilized only if the building is built as per Vastu rules. If the major defects are done in the construction undue delay in the construction
may be visible and affect the process. This is the indication that plan is not Vastu complaint.

The "open courtyard" system of house design was the national pattern in India before Western models were introduced. The order
introduced into the "built space" accounts for the creation of spiritual ambiance required for the indweller to enjoy spiritual well-
being and material welfare and prosperity.
In the past centuries, the buildings were constructed leaving an open court yard either at center or at sides of the dwelling. This
enabled the natural energy to flow directly in to the buildings and balanced the ambience. After the invention of R.C.C structure in
this century all buildings are built without this option and availability of land and cost also forced to opt for the exclusion of this
excellent natural resource of natural flow of energy. The principles of Vasthu Shastra aim at making the inflow of natural energy.
In the past the buildings were built with terrace in sloping towards both sides and all the sides. This technique makes the flow of
energy slide over the dwelling and spread evenly. In these days as we build roofs flat, the natural energy falls flat on the roof and gets
reflected back to space. This energy is invisible and hence can't be manipulated.
These are all the main reasons for the great science Vastu Shastra being popular only recently.
Flow and Source of Natural Energy
Vastu Shastra is based on the Natural Energy of our Mother earth. It simply says that the sources of energies are to be open and the
flow of energies is not to be disturbed.
Flow of Energy:-
Vastu Shastra prescribes desirable characteristics for sites and buildings based on flow of energy (prana in Sanskrit). Many of the rules
are attributed to cosmological considerations - the sun's path, the rotation of the earth, magnetic field, etc. The morning sun is
considered especially beneficial and purifying and hence the east is a treasured direction.
The body is considered a magnet with the head, the heaviest and most important part, being considered the North Pole and the feet
the South Pole. Hence sleeping with one's head in the north is believed to cause a repulsive force with the Earth's magnetic north and
thus considered harmful. Bedrooms are therefore designed keeping this in mind.
Source of Energy:-
Energy is primarily considered as emanating from the northeast corner and many site and building characteristics are derived from
this. Sites sloping down towards north or east from higher levels of south and west are considered good. Open spaces in site and
openings in the building are to be more in the north and east than in the south and the west. No obstacles are to be present in the
north and the east.
Levels and height of buildings are to be higher in the south and west when compared to the north and east. The southwest corner is
to be the highest, followed by southeast, then by northwest and finally by northeast. The triangle formed by joining the southwest,
southeast and the northwest corner of the site is attributed to the moon and the triangle formed by joining the northeast, northwest
and southeast corner of the site is attributed to the sun.
The former are prescribed to be heavier and higher and the latter light and lower. Sites having a longer east-west axis are considered
better. The diagonal connecting southwest and northeast is to be longer than the diagonal connecting southeast and northwest. An
extended northeast corner is considered beneficial.
Vastu Story:-
Most of the instructions in Hinduism are explained by a story. Vastu Shastra is based on an incident that might have occurred very
long ago as per a mythological story. Whether you believe this story or not; this story simply explains you the technology of Vastu
which is based on scientific facts and even a lay man can understand it.
Story of Vastu Purusha in the MATSYA PURANA
Once in Vedic period there lived a demon called Andhakasura, who killed sages and seers. Lord Shiva had to fight with demon to
protect the world and killed him after a long war which had continued for years. While fighting with the demon, the Lord Shiva was
very much tired and began to sweat profusely. When the sweat fell down on the earth, a child was born of the drops of Shiva’s sweat.
Vasthu Purush
The child looked very cruel and horrifying and consumed all the blood from the body of the demon Andhakasura. His hunger was still
not satisfied and felt very hungry. He began to grow steadily, eating all that came near his mouth. He occupied almost all the surface
of the earth, killing all the inhabitants and destroying the nature. All the Five Elements of the galaxy namely Earth, Water, Fire, Air &
Sky suffered by the growth of this child and could not carry on their functions.
This terrified even the Gods in heaven. All of the Gods in heaven grouped together planned to kill the child that was grown up so
largely. They attacked it from all sides, laid it face down and they then sat on different parts of its body and pressed it inside the
earth. Being bound like that, the child lay submerged (buried).
The Boon
In order to mollify the child the Gods bestowed the child with a boon that: “Hence forth you will be known as ‘VASTUPURUSHA’ or
“VASTHUDEVTA “. You will occupy any piece of earth with boundaries made on four sides. The people will offer you prayers and
worship you. You can curse or favor the people who own or occupies any place of earth. If they make you feel happy and comfort as
you lay down on the earth you may favor them with boons. If not you are allowed to curse and make them suffer.”
Then the Vastu Purusha was quite satisfied. Since then the worship of Vastu-Purusha has been in practice and it has become
compulsory to follow certain rules so as to make the Vasthu Purush happy and comfort. The Almighty ordered the Gods of heaven,
who sat at key positions over the child, to safe guard the child and protect him from the people.
Vastu Purusha Mandala
This incident is depicted graphically in the Vastu Purusha Mandala with portions allocated hierarchically to each deity based on their
contributions and positions.
Brahma occupied the central portion - the Brahmasthana- and other gods were distributed around in a concentric pattern. There are
45 gods in all including 32 outer deities. All these divisions are called with reference to the deities like north east corner as "Eshanya
Moolai" in line with the God of direction "Eshanyan" and North West corner as "Vaayu Moolai" to Vaayu Bagawan... Etc.
The Vastu Purusha is the presiding deity of any site. Usually he is depicted as lying on it with the head in the northeast and legs in the
southwest. In accordance with the position occupied by the gods in the Mandala, guidelines are given for zoning of site and
distribution of rooms in a building.
Northeast Eeshanya Ruled by lord of all quarters Ishvara (Religions,Luck and Faith)
East Indra Ruled by the solar deity Aditya Seeing the world)
Southeast Agni Ruled by the fire deity Agni (Energy Generating)
South Yama Ruled by lord of death Yama (Damaging)
Southwest Niruthi Ruled by ancestors (History) Vasthu Demon Financial stability
West Varuna Ruled by lord of water (Physical) Varuna (Energy flow) friendship
Northwest Vaayu Ruled by the god of winds (Advertisement) Vaayu (Spreading)Social Status
North Kubera Ruled by lord of wealth (Finance) Wealth and stability
Center Brahma Ruled by the creator of the universe (Desire) Mental Strength
Everyone shall pray and adopt the rules of Vastu Shastra shall Live in the earth having sound health, beautiful wife, healthy children,
wealth, means of earning through business, profession or state service, high reputation in society and over all mental and spiritual
peace without any disturbance and trouble.
Interpretation of the Story
1. North east is where the head of Vasttu Purush lies in side our plot – Avoid keeping any heavy things here and dig the earth
to make him breath.

safely and comfortably hold them for you.

4. Eshanan is guarding the north east corner and will bring luck if you put your water source at this place.
5. Agni Deva the fire God is guarding the south east corner - make your kitchen here and he will help you eat well.
6. The center of your house is where the heart of Vastu Purush lies – Don’t keep anything here so that his heart pumps blood
easily and he will make your life peaceful.
Bed Rooms
1. Beds should be placed so as the head of the person should be in south, east or west direction. Keeping head in the north
direction is not good as your sleep may not be deep.
2. The bedroom should not be constructed above porch, car parks and kitchen. These positions may affect your consciousness
while in sleep.

they should be positioned in the south-west corner of the room and as such the doors of the almirahs are opening towards
north or east.
5. An attached bathroom to the bed room can be planned in the north-west or south-east of the room, but never on south-
west or north-east direction.

1. As a general rule of Vastu, there must not be any mirror opposite to the bed in a bedroom. A television screen is also
considered as mirror, when turned off, and so even a TV is not allowed to be kept exactly opposite to the bed. But as people
generally insist on keeping a TV in bedroom, it can be kept to the right or left of the bed at angle for a comfortable view
from bed.
2. The children study table can be fixed in the north-east corner of the room. The bookshelf should not be fixed near the
north-eastern corner, but preferably on south and west walls of the children’s room.

than 400 crore years and also rotates the sun without any axles, bearings or motors. The weight we keep in the shops and show
rooms should not hinder its movement. So it will bring you good sales and profits if all heavy products in the shop shall be kept in the
south west place and all light eight items to be displayed in the north east place. The north west and south east places can be
occupied with the medium weighed products for best performance of the shop.
What so ever be the products that may be sold in the shops, the weight balance principle of Vastu must be followed as per the above
drawing. This Vastu rule is applicable for any shop or show room irrespective of any road facing or the type of material sold in the
shop.
