aastu Shastra is the ancient Indian science of architecture, which governs town planning and designing of man-made structures. A part of the Vedas, the word 'Vaastu' in Sanskrit means 'dwelling', and in the modern context it covers all buildings. Vaastu pertains to the physical, psychological and spiritual order of the built environment, in consonance with the cosmic energies. It is a study of planetary influences on buildings and the people who live in them, and aims at providing guidelines for proper construction.

Entrance Door

idea posted by Anjali Bhatia Construction-Heavy, Sobha Developers

This one I guess every one will agree with me, the entrance door should be in positive direction and far away from corners. Positive directions are North, Northeast, and East in East and North facing plot, Southeast and South in South facing plot, West and Northwest in West facing plot. There should be one or maximum two entrance doors in a house. Do give in your other ideas on vastu recommendations for home construction?

If plot is south facing and entry is south facing. Then what are advantages and dis-advantages of this arrangements.

Add your argument:

Functional utility of constructed units

Every thing is ok,like natural light, air,and Vaastu.The main purpose is to perform the function with ease in each dwellings or units.For instant,take the kitchen:-proper ventilation,suitable level of platform,utility electrical points,wash sink,proper sanitation etc. Similarly other units.

Dear toostepians."VASTU" means VAS(reside) and TU(you). It clearly suggests that "VASTU"  is supplementing the Architects to design each units either Puja space,Tulsi space ,Entrance with proper location where sufficient light,natural air and space for performing daily chores are available.

Add your argument:

KITCHEN & BEDROOM, WELL & OVERHEAD WATER TANK

idea posted by NATTERAJA R. ARIKRISHNAN AREA SALES MANGER, UNIFLEX CABLES LTD

The kitchen & bedroom, the well & the overhead water tank where they should be or placed in houses plays the dominant role in vaastu.

The Kitchen should be in the southeast corner of the houses, the bed-room should be in the southwest corner of the houses,

The well/water pipe-line should be in the northeast or east north corner. That is outside the house but inside the compound wall.

The overhead water tank should be in the corner of south west top of the house open area.

Another important thing to be considered is that any digging of the ground or pits like well, septic tank, and ground water tub, or any other excavation work should be in the north and east side of the house. No digging in the south & west side that should be kept heighten or elevated.

Another important points to be noted is that the latrine or septic tank should not be in the northeast corner and east north corner of house. Because this is called Esanyam which is meant for god.

Friends whatever I know has been furnished, however experts in Vaastu will be there to contribute more on this subject.

Some of the important vaastu points to be focused are -

Kitchen

South-East represents Agni, the God of fire. You should work facing east to avoid health hazards.

 

Living Area

Drawing room or Living area should be in North-East, North-West, South or West direction. Furniture should be placed in South and West directions preferably.

 

Stairs

It should be constructed so that they are not visible to the guests from all directions except North-East. Preferably it should be in south or west direction.

There should not be any obstruction in front of the entrance or house of the plot.

Blocking of the Northeast (Eeshan) restricts the inflow of the blessings of God. It leads to tension, quarrel and insufficient growth of the inhabitants of the house.

Greater open space in north or east gives name, fame and prosperity.

Elevated land at south is always healthy and leads to prosperity.

Ratio between the length and breadth of the building should normally be 1: 1 or at the maximum 1: 2 but should never exceed the limit of 1: 2 under any circumstances.

Water Bodies

Water bodies like Overhead tanks should be placed preferably in the North-West. Wells as well as underground tanks, etc. should be placed in the North-East corner to bring prosperity and wealth.

Prayer Room

North-East is considered to be auspicious for prayer rooms with the face of the idol facing towards North or East.

Add your argument:

Construction Material

idea posted by Pragya Kothari Construction-Heavy, DLF

Only new material should be used for building.  Old material which is not durable should not be used for new construction as generally old bricks, doors; steel bars and plumbing material are used in new construction.  Wood taken from thorny trees should not be used. As per Vastu rules same material should be used for doors and their frames that is iron doors are made of iron frames rather that wooden frames and wooden doors are made of wooden frames instead of iron frames.

Vastu is to provide the residents the benifit of panch tatva.

idea posted by rakeshbhatnagar GM Projects., wig brothers india pvt.ltd.

Vastu is sience to create posative energy by balancing the panchtatva's of enviorment and give good health and thus wealth to the residents.

Directions of openings etc are based on the supply of air and light etc.This may be compared to today's green building concept or we can say it provides desired natural light , air , water and avoid negative energy.

vaasthu for what purpose

idea posted by muraleekrishnakt archetectural designing, samrudhi

old generations used vaasthu for placing the residences in a write position and write places. no one obey vaasthu rules if it implemented normally. so the old generation made it as a devotional thing.

 they considered wind directions, water flows and sun.  these parameters are different in different places. so vaasthu is different for different places.

DIRECTION AND SIZE OF POOJA ROOM

idea posted by VIMALAN Construction-Construction Management, PARSVNATH DEVELOPERS LTD

The direction and size of pooja room is much more important than other rooms,if we place this pooja in a wrong direction it creates problem i.e)SW Corner is the suitable place bcoz we will face western direction to pray  and also the size of the room should be matchable to their Zodiac signs and numerology Eg)8 x8 ft in this size so many temples are their in india.Now a days so many people thinking and discussing to place this pooja room in a correct manner

Proper light and fresh air !

idea posted by Nohar Singh Dhruv Jr. Engg, Chhatisgarh State Electrical Board

As we know for building any house we do all the things like direction of door and window, position of rooms etc, but most of people doesn't use natural sources like light and air. They made small window and ventilation. But as per vastu light gives us positive energy and fresh air gives oxygen for  fresh breathing.. it will make a healthy environment...!!!
