Application of Vastu Shastra

In the world everything, substance, man and other animals are made from the Panchmahabhoot that is the
five basic elements. The earth, the water, the fire, the wind and the sky. The five elements have close relationship with man and his environment. Nature has given them their proper place according to merit.

If we give proper place to these elements at proper places in our building we become one with Nature. Actually nature is the God. One can experience the eternal truth of nature on every step. The whole nature is overpowered with magnetic environment.

The modern man has waged a war with nature in many fields. We can see nature with our own eyes and we
can experience the Panchmahabootas. Going against them would lead us to sure destruction. Taking the surroundings and the proper places for these elements into consideration, the sages and seers introduced
Vaastushastra. For showing themselves rational, some people think Vaastushastra as superstitious. This is
really a great misfortune for them. 

In the old times maximum use of wood was made in the construction. Wood is a bad conductor of
electricity and as such does not interfere with the power in environment. Today wood being very costly,
minimum use of wood is made in the construction. On the other hand steel, iron, aluminium etc. metals are
used on a large scale. With their divine vision the sages and seers created Vaastushastra so that a man should
live a happy and prosperous life with his family.

Many a times a man purchases a place (plot) or house because it is cheap. He does not pay any attention to the usefulness or harmfulness of the same. If he purchases a place, plot or building using the principles
of Vaastushastra, his economic front definitely improves and gets peace and prosperity. However, if the selection goes wrong it leads to financial losses, untimely deaths of important people, gap in the education of children etc. He then turns to God. After taking all possible measures if the position remains bad he blames his fate.

There is no denying the fact that mental peace is definitely derived if we build our house using
Vastushastra. Many a times we are living in a house which is built as per the norms of Vaastushastra. Probably we have not even heard of this science. Many a times we change our old residence and move to a new one. We do not get the same peace of mind, happiness and prosperity. On the other hand, there are
clashes and financial losses. In such cases we should show the building to an expert on Vaastushastra and
make the necessary changes. While giving guidance to many people at Bombay, Pune, Aurangabad,
Nasik, Nagpur, Delhi , Calcutta, United States, Malaysia Singapore & Nairobi, we observed that after making necessary changes it took at least 21 days before the building started giving fruits of the labour. At some places this time period extended to 90 days.

Without Karma (Action) there are no fruits. But if we are not getting the returns after good Karma then, by
following Vaastushastra we can remove the defects in the structure and enjoy the fruits. However, if after removing the defects in the house, we don’t do any thing, progress is not possible. Karma needs the help
and support of the basic elements, nature and environment. To make changes in our building structure as per Vaastushastra is also a sort of work i.e. Karma.

The dressing table should be in the East or North: The Scientific Reason – The constant light from the North or East will light up your face when sitting in front of the mirror, thus allowing you to dress up well.

Study table should face East, North or North-East: The Scientific Reason – The constant light from the North and the morning sunlight from the East will make reading easy, without  much straining.

Avoid Television in the bedroom: If a TV is kept, it should never be directly in front of the bed as it works as a mirror and generates negative energy. It can be kept to the right or left of the bed at an angle for comfortable viewing from bed. The Scientific Reasoning - A T.V.  does not encourage intimacy. In fact it only encourages people to become couch potatoes. Also, the waves from the T.V are not good for your health and so keeping the T.V  far away is always preferable.

The safe should be in the South-West, opening towards North: The Scientific Reason – The heavy stuff is preferred in the South or West sides to serve as a buffer to the hot evening sunlight. Since the constant light is from the North, you can see clearly into the Safe if it opens towards the North.

Keep some open space in the North-East: The Scientific Reason – The Constant and beneficial sunlight from the East and North should engulf the whole room and not get blocked by heavy furniture.

Keep things that make you happy in front of the Bedroom door: The Scientific Reason – Upon entering, your bedroom, the first thing yo u see should be something that gives you the feeling of peace and serenity such as a photograph, a favorite quote or even flowers that enhance these positive feelings. Keep objects that remind you of unfinished tasks out of the room, or at least out of sight as the bedroom should be a place where you can totally relax.  It is obvious that things that make you happy will give a positive feeling.

Beds should not be shaky: The mattress should provide good support to the body while resting. The Scientific Reason – The essential function of the bed is to provide a surface which is neither too hard nor too soft for the back. A shaky bed will creak and disturb others when people turn on the bed.

Computers should be kept in the South-East: The  Scientific Reason -  The South-East is considered the Aagneya (Fire) corner. The ‘Vastu Pundits’ consider electrical appliances as the equivalent of fire and happily encourage you to keep all electric gadgets in the S-E of every room.

Wardrobes should be in the North-West or South-West: The Scientific Reason – They serve as buffers to the hot evening sunlight coming in from the West.

Attached bathroom should be in the East or South-East : The Scientific Reason - Normally the bathroom is used for bath and other activities, early in the morning, and so will be wet after use. If it is placed in the East side, the morning sunlight will dry up the area and the UV rays will kill all the germs.

Avoid mirror directly opposite the bed: The Scientific Reason – When you wake up in the morning, all untidy and disheveled, it may be a shock when you see yourself in the mirror as you sit up in the bed!

Avoid religious idols: The Scientific Reason – Many people may feel uncomfortable to lie around with their feet pointing towards the religious idols, as they believe it is disrespectful to god.

Avoid Clutter: It represents stagnation. The Scientific Reason - When you see clutter you feel helpless about it, and it just keeps accumulating and becomes an irritant in your mind. Removing clutter in your bedroom will help you feel more efficient and function optimally. To tackle clutter, first take on small projects to help you avoid the feelings of being overwhelmed by the task at hand.

Avoid storing things under the bed: The Reason - The space under the bed gets very dusty and cannot be cleaned often. Hence it is meaningless to store anything there.

  • Single women should take the room in the North-West as first option if they are looking to get married. This particular direction is ruled by the element ‘Air’ and planet ‘Moon’ and has qualities related to change and transformation. As a second option they can use South-Eastern room (‘Fire’ element and ruling planet ‘Venus’). Keeping a henna plant, fresh flowers and hanging wind chimes can further improve the chances of early marriage.
  • Couples who are planning for the pregnancy should use the North-Western room (‘Air’ element) till the onset of pregnancy.
  • To avoid any problem during pregnancy, the women should sleep in South-Western bedroom or as a second choice in North-Eastern room. They should never sleep in North-Western room during the pregnancy.
  • They should preferably sleep keeping their head in the South direction.
  • Expecting mothers must avoid wearing dark or shiny colors such as dark red, black, and orange and go for subtle colors such as pastel green, blue, yellow and white.
  • The color blue has cooling and astringent qualities; hence a night bulb emanating soft blue light during night, also violet, indigo, purple are suggested for walls.
  • Women expecting a baby must never sit in rooms, which are dark and bleak which can lead to depression; there should always be some light in the rooms.
  • It is always good to read motivational books during the time of pregnancy. In addition, women should hang images of beautiful, healthy children in their bedroom and look at them several times a day.
  • According to Vastu Shastra, a staircase in the exact center of the house may lead to health problems for pregnant women, so take care to get the stairs away from this zone.
  • Heavy furniture should not be kept in the middle of the house, as it is the ‘Brahmasthan’ and needs to be kept as empty as possible.
  • Ensure that there are no overhead beams running through the center of the house or it would lead to a disturbed mind.
  • Lighting a lamp in the ‘Fire Zone’ (South-East direction) daily is important for good health.
  • Pregnant woman should avoid restroom under stairs to avoid negative vibes.

  • Always keep the curtains of the southern and western windows closed between 10 am to 6pm.
  • Women who are already pregnant must stay in an environment that is lively and fresh. For that matter, it is good to keep fresh flowers in every part of the house. If a baby girl is expected then keep fresh flowers in the Western direction.
 
Logical and Scientific Explanations of some of the above Vastu principles:
Electrical and Electronic Gadgets

Normally, a lady’s basal body warmth is higher during pregnancy.  It is, therefore, advisable for the lady to keep herself away from and being too near a television, a computer or any heat generating gadget that emanates electrical or electro-magnetic energies (‘Fire/Agni’ element). This way, she can avoid increasing her internal temperature to a dangerous level without even being aware of it.  Normally, a woman dissipates body heat through her skin and breathing. The fetus that is growing has normally a temperature which is a little more than the mother’s and dissipates its heat across the placenta and through the mother’s blood stream. Fetal damage can possibly occur if the mother or the fetus does not cool down quickly after the temperature of the core rises.
Certain Finnish (Finland) studies have revealed manifold increase of miscarriages in women using computers. It may also worry you about using a laptop or tablet during pregnancy. Be assured that they are safe to use. Just bear in mind that laptops can give out a lot of heat, so don't put it on your tummy as overheating could harm your baby. It's also best not to put your laptop directly on your thighs, because it could burn you. Put your laptop on a table or on a cushion on your lap.
The South-East sector of the building and the South-East sector of a room are places to be avoided by a pregnant lady at least for the first three months.  Medical science tells us that by the end of the fourth month, almost all the major organs of the fetus are formed.  The brain stem and the limbs are formed and begin to mature. Most pre-natal damage capable of causing birth defects occurs during this time.  This period, commonly known as embryo-genesis, can cause organ-specific damage.  However, brain development continues throughout the period of pregnancy.  Therefore, there is really no safe period for strong intense bursts or continuous doses of electro-magnetic frequencies during the months of pregnancy.

Thermal Heat
Research on the effects of thermal and non-thermal electro-magnetic fields has shown reported 50 percent miscarriages in pregnant women who slept in electrically heated waterbeds.  Thermal heat is, therefore, another factor that affects pregnancy. When the Eastern part of the Earth is heated, its Western part remains cold.  Consequently, thermal electricity generated by the Sun travels over the surface of the Earth from East to West. Therefore, pregnant ladies can avoid sleeping with their heads to the East. They can sleep with their heads to the South as natural polarity of the body is maintained and health of both the mother and the fetus is taken care of.

Beneficial Ultra Violet Rays
A pregnant lady can sleep in a North-East room. It is a known fact that the Sun’s rays can be split into seven plus two colors. Beginning from ultra-violet ray in the first part on the Eastern side corresponding to North-East, the Sun’s beneficial rays further split into violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red and infra-red in the last part corresponding to the South-East.  Ultra-violet and the cold colors of the spectrum are said to have a soothing effect on the body and hence, the North-East room is recommended for a mother-to-be.
Since blue has a cooling and astringent effect, a night lamp giving soft blue light in the room during night, is suggested.  The other two colors of the cooling trio viz., violet and indigo can be alternated during the entire period of pregnancy. Violet is said to be good for bone growth, maintaining the potassium and sodium balance of the body.  Expectant mothers who regularly meditate will be happy to know what Leonardo da Vinci said that “the power of meditation can be 10 times greater under the violet light falling through the stained glass windows of a quiet church...” To put it simply, violet is an inspiring and spiritual color. Ultra violet ray, which is the head of the ‘cool’ colors and is said to normalize all metabolism and glandular activities can also be used with advantage..
