Principles of Vastu:
Vastu has two distinct parts

1. Vastu of plot.
2. Vastu of buildings.
Both are equally important. Some people do not give importance to the Vastu of
plot which is not correct. Hence before we select a plot we should see Vastu of the
plot, since Kshetra (Land) is equally important as Beeja (seed) is for good crop.

1) Vastu of Plot
We should examine the levels, angels, its size and shape etc. and see whether it satisfies
the Vastu
principles, if not the plotshould be modified by additions and alterations. While Vastu
advises that the ratio of width to length not exceed 1:2 if you have a space that is close to
1:3 or even a little more, don't start to chew away your nails just yet. Try, if possible, to
get a good landscape designer, or else learn to live with some open space. Taking a wider
view on the shapes of plots, you will realise that odd-shaped and long sites make for
twisted roads and highly inefficient land-use patterns.

a) For Houses

1. It should be close to a square to be an ideal one.

2. A rectangle is good, Breadth and Length ratio should not be more than 1:2
3. A triangular shape is not good.
4. Round shape and all other odd shapes are also not good.
5. If the plot is not as per Vaastu it should be corrected.
6. If it cannot be corrected, it should be rejected.
7. It is better to have your main gate away from a junction.

b) For Industrial houses and business concerns :

While the principles of Vaastu are same, the size and shape of the plots may differ as per
the type of business or industry's requirement. However, for Industries & multi-storeyed
flats,Vaastu principles are enumerated in seperate pages.

c) Angles of the plot

1. Ideally all angles should be 90 degrees.

2. The South West angle should be 90 degree. This is very important.
3. North West angle should be close to 90 degree or little more. It should not be less
than 90 degree.
4. South East angle should be close to 90 or little more but not less than 90 degrees.
 5. North East angle should be close to 90 or less but never in excess of 90 degrees.

d) Location and Direction of Plot.

The Location of the plot is very important but its significance in terms of its directions as
to which side the plot is facing, should not become a hurdle in acquiring a plot. The East
and North facing sites are to be preferred to those facing West and South. Special care has
to be taken for west and south facing plots while designing the house or work place.

e) Plots having two or more roads.

1. Ideally the plot should have roads on all four sides.

2. It is good to have more than one road.
3. North and East roads are the best.
4. South and West roads are good for business people.
5. North and West roads are also good.
6. South and East roads are good for women and organizations for women.

Top

Levels inside the plot.

1. The ground level should be high in the South and West.

2. The ground level in the North and East should be lowest in the plot.
3. Levels in the South-East and North-West should be more or less equal.
4. South-East and North-West level should be higher than the North-East, but lower
than the South-West levels.
5. North levels should be lower than South.
6. East levels should be lower than West.

Levels outside the plot.

1. East and North levels of the adjoining plot or road should be low.
2. Towards South and West of the plot hillocks or mounds are good.
3. Ponds, Tanks or Rivers in North or East or North-East of the plotyield, good
results.
4. A high building built towards South or West or South-West, of our plot is good for
our prosperity.
5. Any pond or tank or well or valley or ditches etc. , towards South-West, outside
the plot will bring misfortune.

Top
Wells.
Before the construction of the house is taken up, an open well or a bore well has to be
dug in the plot.

1. East side well means it should be in the first half towards east.
2. Similarly, North side well means it should be in the first half towards East.
3. A well in the West or South or South-West is taboo.
4. A well in the North-West or South-East is also not good.
5. A well opposite to the gate or main door or opposite to doors opening outside, is
not advisible.
6. A well in the center of the building is also not advisable.

Top

Cellars

1. The cellar should be in North or East or North-East portion of the ground floor.
2. The cellar constructed in south or west or south-west direction will cause
problems to inmates.
3. North-East portion of cellar should be kept open as far as possible.
4. South-West portion could be used for storage etc.
5. North-West or South-East portions of Cellar could be used for car parking or as
servant quarters etc.

Vastu of buildings
Any structure whether it is a residential house or office , industrial house , business
concern, theatre, temple,choultry,hotel should be built according to VAASTU. The main
points to be kept in mind are:

1. The building should be built leaving open space on all sites.

2. More open space should be left in North side of the plot and less space in the
south.
3. Similarly more open space should be left in the East than West side of the plot.
4. The building height should be more on the South and West.
5. The height or level of the building should be less in North and East.
6. On a multi storeyed building, terrace should be left towards north or east, not
towards south or west.

not in South-West.
18. The South-West room should be the master bedroom.
19. South-East room should be kitchen.
20. North-East room should be pooja room.
21. Bathroom normally preferred in East, where it is not convenient, South East or
North-West may be recommended.

23. Verandahs should be design in East or North.
24. The level of Verandah roof should be less than the normal roof level.
25. No Verandahs should be built in the West or South.
26. Portico should be design in the North-East, or East or north.
27. Roof level of the portico should be equal o9r less than the verandah.
28. Stair case should be to South-West because of its height and weight.
29. Overhead tank should be either in South or West. There is a difference of opinion
to have it on.
30. South-West; more weight is acceptable on South-West but water in South-West is
not advisable.
31. Out-Houses can be built in South-East or North-West but they should not touch
North and East walls and the height of the rooms should be less than the main
house.
32. Car garages also should be along with out house on the same principle but portico
should be in the North-East.
33. Septic tanks in North-West or South-East are acceptable.
34. Water pumps in the North-East that too below the ground level only. Water tank
above the ground level in the North-East is not correct.

VASTU FOR FLATS

Construction of flats as per Vaastu is not that simple. The number of flats in one
complex ,common walls for adjacent flats, placement of kitchen and bathrooms all these,
make things complicated. Nevertheless , if one follows meticulosly the principles of
Vaastu in selection of the plot and construction of building, satisfactory results could be
attained in majority of cases.
The principles given should be follow strictly so as to give maximum benefit to the flat
owners.
 1. The site should be a good square or a rectangle if possible with South-West corner
equal to 90 degrees.
2. North , East or North-East roads would do more good with two gates, one in the
East and the other in North. Besides the North-East, South-West or North-West
blocks are also good.
3. Ground levels should be slopping towards North-East and the levels in the South-
West should be higher than all other sides.
4. An open well or a bore well should essentially be dug in the North-East, before
the construction takes place.
5. While designing the complex, more open space should be left in the East and
North compared to West and South.

The other specific points that should be ideally followed are:

1. North-East projection in a plot is good.

2. East open space should be more than West open space.
3. North and North-East open space should be more than South and south-west open
space.
4. Kitchens are preferred in South-East or North-West.
5. Balconies towards North, East and North-East are advisable, its not advisable to
have balconies in South and West.
6. Kitchen is advisable in South-East, or North-West on the terrace.
7. Stair cases have to be in South, west or South-West and to be avoided in North-
East, because head room of the stair case, higher than South-West is not
acceptable.
8. Main entrance into the flat should be from East, North , South, North-East, West
and North-West.
9. No wells or bore wells should be dug in South-East, North-West or South-West.
10. Cellars should be kept under the northern or eastern portion of the complex, and
not in southern or western side.
11. North-East cellar to be used for parking of vehicles; preferably not heavy trucks.
12. Open area in North-East should be used for lawns, bore wells and pumps.
13. Open area in North-East can also be used for on and off parking.
14. Pent house at North-East is not good.
15. Stair case should not be higher than South-West.

VASTU FOR INDUSTRIES

Even for industries too, the selection of site is very important. Besides the fact that
sufficient water and electricity should be available , the Vaastu of the plot, such as the
shape of the plot, the roads facing the plot and the ground level inside and outside the site
are very important.
The various principles of Vaastu which aid in setting up an industry are as follows.
 1. Main roads towards east, north or north-east are advisable with wide gates on two
sides.
2. Gates in north-east or east or north-west are recommended.
3. Guard room should be either on north-west side of north-gate or south-east side of
east gate.
4. Minimum space should be kept in south and west where big trees could be grown.
More open space should be left in north and east where lawns and other greenery
can be grown.
5. The floor levels in south-west must be higher than other sides and height of the
building also must be higher than all the other corners. Care has to be taken to
have the store rooms in south-west fully loaded with stocks to the extend
possible.As and when the stocks are consumed they should be replaced
immediately.
6. Car parking may be provided in north-west if open area is available. For light
vehicles north-east could also be used.
7. Administrative offices are to be located either in north or east, away from boundry
walls with less height than the main factory. Here special care has to be taken in
keep int north-east corner open.
8. Staff quarters may be constructed in south-east and north-west. If quarters are
multi-storeyed and if the height is more than of main factory, they should be
constructed in south-west without touching the main premises.
9. Toilets should be places in north-west or south-eastern part of the buildings, and
not in north-east or south-west.
10. Wells, bore wells water pumps and water ponds etc. should be in the north-eastern
area.
11. Over head tanks may be erected in west and nearby, duly maintaining the heights.
South-west and north-east sides including north and east should be avoided, for
constructing overhead tanks. This is a bit controversial subject and hence one
should be very careful in locating the overhead tanks and also the water tanks
above the ground level.
12. Heavy machinery has to be installed in south, west or south-west in the factory.
13. Raw materials storage, whether inside the factory or sheds outside, should be in
south or west or south-west.
14. Finished products are to be kept in the north-west corner. It will help for quick
movements of the stocks.
15. Products under process or unfinished goods may be kept in west direction.
16. Weighing machine may be located near the gate either in north or east because
that area is not
subjected to permanent weight.
17. Transformers, generators, motors, boilers, furnaces, oil engines should be kept in
south-east or close to south-east.

LIMITATIONS OF VASTU
  Many examples could be cited to show that vaastu, if followed in constructing
one's house, office or business place, one could be happy and prosperous. A
question arises whether one can achieve everything in life by simply leaving in a
house built as per vaastu. The answer is 'No' because Vaastu has its own
limitations. Just because one has a house as per Vaastu, one cannot become a top
celebrity. Nevertheless, if a plot is good as per Vaastu and a house is also built
according to the Shastra, one may achieve many of the following:

- One may have health and happiness.

- Children may come up in life.
- One may succeed in getting good promotions, if in service.
- One may make good money, if in business.
- One may attain position and power, if in politics.

 One may get the benefits as enumerated above, as per the degree of perfection in
following Vaastu. If one can satisfy 70 to 75% of Vaastu, he should be very happy.
It is interesting to note that some fortunate people have been living in good houses
built as per vaastu, without knowing even elementary principles of the subject.
 Construction of a house or a work place following Vaastu principles cent percent
is not possible, because of the levels in and around the plot, shape of the plot,
number of roads and direction of the roads abutting the plots. Hence one has to
work with the available plot and construct the house or office to suit one's
requirements under the given circumstances to provide maximum benefit to the
inmates of the house. An architect bestowed with the knowledge of Vaastu designs
the building, striking a balance between the two depending upon the importance
of one or the other as the case may be.

PYRAMIDAL STRUCTURES WITH AMAZING RESULTS

 The Pyramids of Egypt, built in their mysterious past, continue to baffle the
modern scientific minds. It is scientifically proved that the vegetables and other
food stuffs could be preserved for a longer period under pyramidal structures. It is
also seen that the razor blades retain their sharpness under pyramids for a
considerable time.
 We also see that a few of the churches and chapels look like modified pyramids
come of the temples and mosques are also found to reflect pyramidal shape. Many
of the temple structures face east. Even the hutment and granaries in some
villages are made in the shape resembling pyramids with east-face.
 In the temples, the garbha, the sanctum sancturium where the main deity is
installed is constructed in the shape of a pyramid. The shape has its own
importance besides the fact that the prasadam, fruits and other oblations could be
preserved for a longer period. The authors of 'Pyramid power' Maxtoth a Greg
Nielesen say that 'Much that has been considered the superstition of past
civilizations is now proving to be the core of an ancient science, many a modern
 discovery betrays its origin and basis in this secret science. Certainly, Pyramid
Poser is at the fore front of these rediscoveries.
 It a pyramidal structure has such miraculous effect on the living organisms, no
wonder if the house built in line Vaastu Shastra bestow their inmates health,
wealth and prosperity.

# ORIENTATION OF PREMISE - Governed by all vastu energies. Adviced direction is

North & East asall the positive solar & magnetic energy comes from this direction.

# ROAD DIRECTION- Governed by all vastu energies. - Prefered road direction is

North & East as it would comparatively have more open space in that direction from
which the maximum positive solar energy is expected.

# SHAPE OF PREMISE - Governed by solar energy. - As per vastu, square & rectangle
are best shapes to be used. They are exposed to all negative & positive energies equally.

# ANGLES - Governed by solar energy. - It is better if all the angles are in 90 degree.
South & South West sides should not be more than 90 degree. North & East can be more
than 90 degrees.

# CUT OUTS - Governed by solar energy. - It is better not to have cut outs. If
unavoidable, use the squarish or rectangular part & the use the cut out part for plantation,
water body etc.

# PROJECTION - Governed by solar energy. - It is better to have a square or a

rectangular plot. North, North East projection is good as all positive solar rays come from
this direction. If the projection is in a negative side then u se the rectangular or squarish
plot in use & the rest use it for plantation.

# PLANTATION-Governed by solar & wind energy. - Can have dense, shady platation
in South, South West as it helps in blocking the negative solar rays coming from that
direction. Not to have dense, leafy plantation in North, North East as it would block the
positive solar rays coming from that direction. Can grow floral shrubs there or keep it
empty.
.
# WATER BODY - Governed by solar energy/wind energy. - Proposed location for water
body is North, North East is supposed to be a the side all the positive solar rays come
from this direction. South, South West should not have any water body or well, it is not
good for children & female family members.
.
# HIGH BUILDING - Governed by solar & wind energy. - High building in South West,
South is good as it blocks all the negative solar rays coming from that direction.
.
# OVER HEAD TANK - Governed by solar energy and till of the earth. - Proposed
location for O/H tank as per vastu is South West, West.
.
# UNDER GROUND TANK - Governed by solar and megnetic energies. - Proposed
location for U/G tank as per vastu is North East, East.
.
# SEPTIC TANK - Governed by solar energy. - As per vastu North West, West is good
for septic tank.

# OPEN SPACE - Governed by solar & wind energy. - Should have maximum open
space in North, North East so that the positive solar rays coming from that direction are
not blocked. South West, South should not be open, it should be blocked by dense
plantation as all the negative solar rays come from that direction.
.
# LOW LEVER - Governed by solar energy. - As per vastu North, North East is a
positve side, all positive solar energy comes from this direction & South West, South is
negative side as all negative solar rays comes from that direction. That is the reason
North, North East should be low so as to catch miximum energy.
.
# WELL - Governed by solar and megnetic energies. - Proposed location for well or any
other water body is North East, East as North East, East is supposed to be positive side as
per vastu. It should not be in South West, South. It is not good for female members &
children. South West, South is supposed to be negative side as per vastu.
.
# GARDEN - Governed by solar energy. - As per vastu South West, South is a good
location for all shady, dense, leafy plants & trees as it helps to block all the negative solar
rays from that direction. North East, North is good for lawn of low floral shrubs and
medicated plants like tulsi etc. Which do not block the positive solar rays coming from
this direction.

#ADD ON STRUCTURES LIKE GARAGE, SECURITY ROOM ETC.- Governed

by all vastu energies. As per vastu South and South West are best location for any add on
structures as it reduces the open space and helps in blocking the negative solar rays
coming from this direction. Avoid having add on structures in North East.

# COMPOUND WALL - Governed by solar & wind energies. South West, South walls
should always be highest & thickest, they help blocking the negative solar rays coming
from that direction North East, East walls should always be of least height & thin as far
as possible, so that it does not obstruct the positive solar rays coming from that direction.

BALCONY : Governed by Solar energy. Proposed location for balcony as per vastu is
North, North East, the positive solar rays which come from this direction enhance your
health.

DRESSING : Governed by solar energy. Proposed dressing location as per vastu is South
West, South as it includes Mirror location along with it.
SITTING DIRECTION : Governed by Solar & Magnetic energy. The best direction for
a person to face when he is relaxing in a living room or waiting for someone, would be
North East or East.

VASTU FOR FLATS

Construction of flats as per Vaastu is not that simple. The number of flats in one
complex ,common walls for adjacent flats, placement of kitchen and bathrooms all these,
make things complicated. Nevertheless , if one follows meticulosly the principles of
Vaastu in selection of the plot and construction of building, satisfactory results could be
attained in majority of cases.
The principles given should be follow strictly so as to give maximum benefit to the flat
owners.

1. The site should be a good square or a rectangle if possible with South-West corner
equal to 90 degrees.
2. North , East or North-East roads would do more good with two gates, one in the
East and the other in North. Besides the North-East, South-West or North-West
blocks are also good.
3. Ground levels should be slopping towards North-East and the levels in the South-
West should be higher than all other sides.
4. An open well or a bore well should essentially be dug in the North-East, before
the construction takes place.
5. While designing the complex, more open space should be left in the East and
North compared to West and South.

The other specific points that should be ideally followed are:

1. North-East projection in a plot is good.

2. East open space should be more than West open space.
3. North and North-East open space should be more than South and south-west open
space.
4. Kitchens are preferred in South-East or North-West.
5. Balconies towards North, East and North-East are advisable, its not advisable to
have balconies in South and West.
6. Kitchen is advisable in South-East, or North-West on the terrace.
 7. Stair cases have to be in South, west or South-West and to be avoided in North-
East, because head room of the stair case, higher than South-West is not
acceptable.
8. Main entrance into the flat should be from East, North , South, North-East, West
and North-West.
9. No wells or bore wells should be dug in South-East, North-West or South-West.
10. Cellars should be kept under the northern or eastern portion of the complex, and
not in southern or western side.
11. North-East cellar to be used for parking of vehicles; preferably not heavy trucks.
12. Open area in North-East should be used for lawns, bore wells and pumps.
13. Open area in North-East can also be used for on and off parking.
14. Pent house at North-East is not good.
15. Stair case should not be higher than South-West.

VASTU FOR INDUSTRIES

Even for industries too, the selection of site is very important. Besides the fact that
sufficient water and electricity should be available , the Vaastu of the plot, such as the
shape of the plot, the roads facing the plot and the ground level inside and outside the site
are very important.
The various principles of Vaastu which aid in setting up an industry are as follows.

1. Main roads towards east, north or north-east are advisable with wide gates on two
sides.
2. Gates in north-east or east or north-west are recommended.
3. Guard room should be either on north-west side of north-gate or south-east side of
east gate.
4. Minimum space should be kept in south and west where big trees could be grown.
More open space should be left in north and east where lawns and other greenery
can be grown.
5. The floor levels in south-west must be higher than other sides and height of the
building also must be higher than all the other corners. Care has to be taken to
have the store rooms in south-west fully loaded with stocks to the extend
possible.As and when the stocks are consumed they should be replaced
immediately.
6. Car parking may be provided in north-west if open area is available. For light
vehicles north-east could also be used.
7. Administrative offices are to be located either in north or east, away from boundry
walls with less height than the main factory. Here special care has to be taken in
keep int north-east corner open.
8. Staff quarters may be constructed in south-east and north-west. If quarters are
multi-storeyed and if the height is more than of main factory, they should be
constructed in south-west without touching the main premises.
9. Toilets should be places in north-west or south-eastern part of the buildings, and
not in north-east or south-west.
 10. Wells, bore wells water pumps and water ponds etc. should be in the north-eastern
area.
11. Over head tanks may be erected in west and nearby, duly maintaining the heights.
South-west and north-east sides including north and east should be avoided, for
constructing overhead tanks. This is a bit controversial subject and hence one
should be very careful in locating the overhead tanks and also the water tanks
above the ground level.
12. Heavy machinery has to be installed in south, west or south-west in the factory.
13. Raw materials storage, whether inside the factory or sheds outside, should be in
south or west or south-west.
14. Finished products are to be kept in the north-west corner. It will help for quick
movements of the stocks.
15. Products under process or unfinished goods may be kept in west direction.
16. Weighing machine may be located near the gate either in north or east because
that area is not
subjected to permanent weight.
17. Transformers, generators, motors, boilers, furnaces, oil engines should be kept in
south-east or close to south-east.

LIMITATIONS OF VASTU

 Many examples could be cited to show that vaastu, if followed in constructing

one's house, office or business place, one could be happy and prosperous. A
question arises whether one can achieve everything in life by simply leaving in a
house built as per vaastu. The answer is 'No' because Vaastu has its own
limitations. Just because one has a house as per Vaastu, one cannot become a top
celebrity. Nevertheless, if a plot is good as per Vaastu and a house is also built
according to the Shastra, one may achieve many of the following:

- One may have health and happiness.

- Children may come up in life.
- One may succeed in getting good promotions, if in service.
- One may make good money, if in business.
- One may attain position and power, if in politics.

 One may get the benefits as enumerated above, as per the degree of perfection in
following Vaastu. If one can satisfy 70 to 75% of Vaastu, he should be very happy.
It is interesting to note that some fortunate people have been living in good houses
built as per vaastu, without knowing even elementary principles of the subject.
 Construction of a house or a work place following Vaastu principles cent percent
is not possible, because of the levels in and around the plot, shape of the plot,
number of roads and direction of the roads abutting the plots. Hence one has to
work with the available plot and construct the house or office to suit one's
requirements under the given circumstances to provide maximum benefit to the
 inmates of the house. An architect bestowed with the knowledge of Vaastu designs
the building, striking a balance between the two depending upon the importance
of one or the other as the case may be.

PYRAMIDAL STRUCTURES WITH AMAZING RESULTS

 The Pyramids of Egypt, built in their mysterious past, continue to baffle the
modern scientific minds. It is scientifically proved that the vegetables and other
food stuffs could be preserved for a longer period under pyramidal structures. It is
also seen that the razor blades retain their sharpness under pyramids for a
considerable time.
 We also see that a few of the churches and chapels look like modified pyramids
come of the temples and mosques are also found to reflect pyramidal shape. Many
of the temple structures face east. Even the hutment and granaries in some
villages are made in the shape resembling pyramids with east-face.
 In the temples, the garbha, the sanctum sancturium where the main deity is
installed is constructed in the shape of a pyramid. The shape has its own
importance besides the fact that the prasadam, fruits and other oblations could be
preserved for a longer period. The authors of 'Pyramid power' Maxtoth a Greg
Nielesen say that 'Much that has been considered the superstition of past
civilizations is now proving to be the core of an ancient science, many a modern
discovery betrays its origin and basis in this secret science. Certainly, Pyramid
Poser is at the fore front of these rediscoveries.
 It a pyramidal structure has such miraculous effect on the living organisms, no
wonder if the house built in line Vaastu Shastra bestow their inmates health,
wealth and prosperity.
