‘All the structures orientate to the cardinal point of compass’ was the observation made by experts who were part of the excavation team, exploring the ancient towns of Mohen Jo Daro and Harappa civilization. Tradition of Indian Vastu for Home or for town planning is very ancient. Detailed attention had been paid to plan all aspects of a house whether Vastu for bedroom, or Vastu for home entrance or Vastu for residential buildings and so on. No one has the clue if there were individuals offering Vastu Consultation Services in ancient times or there was a school or institute of Vastu consultants.
A property, big or small, has to be technically calculated and divided into 81 Vastu energy zones and 64 Vastu deity zones to arrive at a definite conclusion before offering any Vastu suggestion or recommendation. This is a must as adverse flow of Vastu energy can cause many challenges. Unfortunately hardly any Vastu expert knows this technique and they just manage with the basic nine zones.
The following guidelines for Indian Vastu for Home are general and can be widely applied for checking your space of living. Vastu directions are related with different activities represented by different elements.
1.North: North direction or Soma is good for entrance. But 64 Vastu deity zones should be considered before deciding the exact location. Its good to have open space, balconies, windows, exit/entry doors, verandah, wash basin, living/sitting room, basement around this area. Car Parking is also good in this area.
2.North East: Northeast or Ishaan is most auspicious or Vastu friendly direction in Vastu Shastra. We can plan main entrance, entry/exit doors, windows, meditation and prayer room, car garage, kid’s study area, tube well or bore well and underground water tank and basement in this direction.
3.East: East or Indra direction is good for main entrance, car garage, home office, sitting room or guest receiving area.
4.South East: Southeast or agneya or fire zone is good for kitchen & dining, storage of food items, electric meter, fireplace, boiler and barbeque. Servant / domestic help living area can also be planned here.
5.South: There should be less open space in the south or Yama zone. Master bedroom, family bedrooms, storage of large items, storage of expensive material can be planned here. Preferable there should not be entry/exit doors leading out of the house in this area.
6.South West: Nairitya or Southwest area of a house is the key to stability and power. We can plan master bedroom, mezzanine floor, large storage of cash and jewelry in this area. Overhead water tank on the roof or terrace can also be planned here.
7.West: Varuna or West zone is good for planning main entrance, overhead water tank, dining area, relatively small open space, small garden and extra toilets.
8.North West: Northwest or Vayavya is good for keeping pets, for planning guest bedroom, kid’s bedroom, television room, family entertainment or home theatre. You can also locate car garage or alternatively servant / domestic help living area in this direction.
Its very important to understand that Vastu is a very serious subject and requires to be studied and understood properly. If someone ‘misunderstoods’ or ‘misinterprets’ a crucial principle and relate that incorrectly with the wrongly conceived Vastu zone, the implications can be drastically negative. Please understand the subject properly before applying your self acquired knowledge of great science of Vastu Shastra.
