SCIENCE OF VASTU
In doing Vastu of any place , home, work place,
building, factory, land or plot we try toharmonize the place with respect to the five
basic elements called as Panchbhoota namely
Air, Water, Fire, Earth and Space. We shall
discuss about importance of each of this element
and how well we can harmonize them to relieve
a stressful life, bringing 3 P's viz peace,
protection and prosperity in our lives.
WATER: Water bodies in north or east are
considered good. As far as the flow of domestic
water is concerned, it should be borne in mind
and that such water should be drained out in
North - East. Wells, tubewells, swimming pools
etc. should all be in the North-East. The water
from the toilets and bathrooms, too, should be
drained out in the North- East. The North-East
direction is always auspicious and suitable for
water. There are sewer-systems in the cities.The Septic tanks or the flow of sewer systems
should be towards North - West. The flow of
rain or fresh water should be towards North-
East.
FIRE: The direction of Fire is South-East. The
Kitchen, fireplace, geysers etc. should be placed
only in this direction. Alternatively these could
be placed in North-West, because it is at 180
degree to South-East. The Vastu Fire Element
One can take care of the South-East Corners of
all rooms and aim for Hapiness in the family,
Good Health, Sound Finances, and Nice
Married Life. As South-East belongs to Agni he
can create enough trouble for inmates. The
7/31/2019 Science of Vastu
2/20
South-East corner of every room should be
taken care of it. One can keep Agni - Vastu Fire
Element cheerful by having a spotlight or
lantern in the South-East corner with light or
burning flame pointing to the roof. One can
have the Electrical gadgets like Television,
VCR, Fridge, Computer, Fire-place,
Microwaves, radio etc placed in South-East
corner.
AIR: The air should enter the building from
North -East. All the openings and media for air
entry such as doors, windows, ventilators
coolers, air-conditioners, verandahs, balconiesetc. should be in this directions.
SPACE OR OPEN SKY: The open sky
influences greatly. We can get the effect of
terrestrial-energies uninterruptedly. But the
buildings prove a barrier to the effects of open
sky. Therefore, the importance of roofs or lawns
gets emphasized, but the Vastu shastra hasrefrained from deliberating in detail over it,
because it is related chiefly to building
construction and we will discuss only this
aspect. Traditionally every house in India used
to have an open space (Court Yard) in the center
of the house. It provided the dwellers not only
the open sky but also sunlight and cross-
ventilation of air.
SHAPE OF PLOT: Favourites are regular
shaped square or rectangular plota AND
irregular shaped plots are normally avoided.

Almirahs and beds should be set very close tothe South - West wall and at a distance from the
north - east wall.
A house should not have paintings, which
depicts depressing scenes, i.e. like an old
woman crying, scenes of war or poverty. It
should have picture of say, a sunrise, an ocean,
mountains, flowers or laughing children.
Tall trees are nowhere recommended close to
the main building. For trees the south in itself is
good and so is the west. No tree should be
grown in the north and the east. The one at the
north-east is the worst.
Small decorative plants and shrubs may be
grown in the north and the east. The height
should not exceed, say, half a meter at the north-
east increasing gradually to not more than 1.5
meter as one moves from the north-east to the
north-west or to the south-east end.
Except rose and a few medicinal ones, all
thorny plants give rise to tensions in the
environment. Plants exuding white sap should
also be kept off. Lime and karonda etc. are OK
in an orchard but not in residence or business
premises.
Amongst the beneficial plants, the best is Tulsi.
It is commendable to keep at least one Tulsiplant in the north-east area of the premises, but
its height should not exceed 1.5 meter.
Growing creepers/climbers with support on the
compound wall or a house wall is best avoided.

prosperity.
Water flowing/water fountain from north to

Directions & their respective Rulers
North-east (Eshan) is ruled by Sadasiva or God
Himself. Hence this direction is paramount,
which demands keeping it scrupulously clean,
open and highly receptive in a welcome "mode"
always.
East is ruled by Indra, the chief of the gods,
giver of pleasures. The direction also representsthe realm of the rising Sun projecting ultra-
violet rays, so essential for health in several
ways.
South-east (Agneya) is the habitat of fire, the
storehouse of energy.
South is the abode of Yama, the god of death.
South-west (Nairitya) is the abode of Putna
demoness.
West is the abode of Varuna, the god of ocean.
It is also the direction of the setting Sun which
gives infra-red radiation.
North-west (Vayavva) is the abode of air/wind,
the invisible, but the most effective blessing for
7/31/2019 Science of Vastu

all objects in need of motion/movement for their
efficiency.
North is the abode of Kuber, the god of wealth.
REMEDIES FOR CONSTRUCTION MADE
AGAINST THE PRINCIPLES OF VASTU:
Sometimes, it so happens that the man does
such acts, out of ignorance, which harm him and
their remedy seems impossible. Here, we are
giving solutions to the problems of those, who
had constructed their houses against the rules of
Vastu -Shastra. To overcome following
information is given, however, it is strongly
recommended that the Vastu of your own house
especially correction of Vastu should be done
with the help of Vastu expert and should not be
attempted by acquiring shallow knowledge or
tips for Vastu. Few ill effects of Vastu if not
done correctly and remedies are discussedbelow for only general information.
If some river or drain is flowing in a direction
other than the north-east direction of the house
and has anti - clock movement, then it is advised
to place a statue of dancing Ganeshji facing the
west on the north-east corner of the house.
If the boring has taken place in the wrong
direction in a house or a factory, then it is
advised to place a picture of Panchmukhi
Hanumanji, facing South-West to the boring.
If a naked wall is seen while entering into a flat,
then either a picture or a statue of Ganeshji
should be placed there. The naked wall is the
7/31/2019 Science of Vastu
8/20
sign of loneliness. Hence, the wall should not be
kept naked.
If high voltage overhead wires pass over a
house, then a plastic pipe filled with lime should
be erected from one corner to the other of theaffected area in such a manner that its both ends
should remain outside by at least three feet each.
This will eliminate the evil effects of energy
being generated out of the overhead wire. In
certain cases, energy circles can be improved by
using Swastika Yantra. But, this requires a lot of
care. This should be handled under the
supervision of an able Vastu Shastri.
IDEAL HOUSE WITH PERFECT VASTU:
The following are the guidelines to design and
construct an ideal house which houses
prosperity, protection and peaceful environment
in the house. It is essential to understand and
interpret these ground rules and then apply.
The main door of the house should preferably
be located in any of the exalted positions from
the Northeast corner - either from North of
Northeast or from East of Northeast. Doors can
also be in the South of Southeast or West of
Northwest but in no case, should the main
entrance be from the center of any direction.
Also the main entrance or door should be
avoided in all the following four directions,
namely, North of Northwest, East of Southeast,South of Southwest and West of Southwest.
There should not be any obstruction or water
body just opposite the main entrance.
Balconies should be planned towards the East
and North and should be definitely avoided in
the South and West. If balconies in the South
7/31/2019 Science of Vastu
9/20
and West cannot be avoided, then larger
balconies must be provided towards the North
and East. Care should be taken while providing
balconies so that a cut or truncation is not
created in the Northeast corner.
The kitchen should be ideally situated in the
Southeast corner of the house and as an
alternative in certain cases, may be in the
Northwest corner, but in both cases, the
cooking platform should be arranged to
facilitate cooking while facing east only. The
Kitchen should never be in the Northeast corner
and it should also be avoided in the Southwest
too, as both locations will create problems with
respect to the health and finance of the inmates.
Rooms in the West and East can be used for
dining. The appetite can be stimulated in the
dining hall by having the walls painted in light
pink or orange. A rectangular dining table is the
most preferred. In the dining room, while eating,
one should sit facing East or West.
Grains and other food can be stored in the
Northwest sector. Oil, butter, ghee, milk andother oily liquids can be stored in the Southeast
of the Northwest room.
When a generator or transformer is to be
located outside the plot, it should be placed in
an open space in the Southeast sector. As a
second choice, it may be placed in the
Northwest sector.
The overhead water tank should be located inthe Southwest corner of the terrace preferably in
the West of Southwest.
Penthouses, if built, should be in the Southwest
corner of the terrace leaving an open space in
the North and East.
7/31/2019 Science of Vastu
10/20
The prayer room should be planned in such a
way that it is placed either in the Northeast
corner or in the central portion (Brahmasthana)
of the house. The pictures of the god should
touch the wall on the East side in the prayer
room facing West; inmates should perform their
prayers facing East for better concentration and
devotion.
No garbage should be thrown or dumped in the
Northeast corner of the building or plot and the
Northeast should always be kept free and clean.
Heavy equipments such as the grinder, fridge,
etc, should be placed towards the South and
West walls in the kitchen. Even in thestoreroom, racks should be built on the South
and West walls.
Rainwater should flow West to East or South to
North and ultimately flow out from the
Northeast corner of the house or plot.
The Northeast, North and East walls should be
decorated with photo frames, mirrors, and
paintings of gods and with wallpaper withnatural scenery; whereas the West, South and
Southwest walls can be decorated with scenery
in a dull or matte finish. The South wall can be
used for hanging pictures of departed souls.
Pictures of living beings may be hung on the
Eastern wall.
It is always advisable, and it is considered
profitable, to purchase additional adjacent plots
on the Northeast, North and East sides.
Under no circumstance, should one acquire any
plot adjoining the South or West sides of one's
plot. Any adjacent land acquired on the South or
West side can be disastrous to the person.

The master bedroom should be in the
Southwest corner, while other bedrooms can be
in the CentralSouth and Central-West
directions. A bedroom in the Northwest is also
recommended but should be used as a guest
room or only for daughters. Bedrooms should be
avoided in the Southeast corner.
It is preferable to have children's rooms in the
West or North. Children should have their study
desks in the North or East of the room and they
should face East while studying.
One should sleep with one's head pointing
towards the South. Children, however, can
sleep with their heads pointing towards theWest. No one should sleep with their heads in
the North.
The bedroom can be painted in light to deep
blues to induce sleep. Green is advised for study
rooms to promote intelligence. Sandal/ yellow is
advised for the prayer room.
The living room should be located in the North
or East sectors of the house. Heavy chandeliersor fancy lamps should not be located in the
geometrical center of the rooms. They may be
placed slightly towards the West or South of the
room.
TVs and computers should ideally be placed in
the Southeast corner of the living room or study
room. They should not be placed in the
Northeast corner or Southwest corner.
Telephones can be placed in the Southeast or
Northwest corner but not in the Southwest or
Northeast.
Living rooms can be painted in white, yellow,
light pink, light blue or green. Grey, red and
black are to be avoided.
7/31/2019 Science of Vastu

Always keep the center of the room, building
and plot, free from any loads, weights, pillars,
columns, beams, water bodies, etc.
It is preferable to have the staircase towards the
South, West or Southwest of the building but itmay be in the Southeast or Northwest,
depending on other parameters. Staircases
should be avoided in the Northeast, North and
the East.
Circular/spiral staircases are generally to be
avoided. The number of steps in a staircase
should be odd, including the landing step, and
they should rise from East to West or from
North to South. It is better to make sure that thesteps are by the South and West walls, and that
it should be constructed in such a way that the
movement is in a clockwise direction while
going upwards, that is from the ground to the
higher floors.
Toilets should be located in the Northwest
corner of the building or in the Northwest
corner of the rooms. Where Northwest toilets
are not possible, Southeast toilets are allowed.Other alternative directions for toilets are
Central-South or Central West. Closets in the
toilets should face North or South, along the
North-South axis; and should not face the East
or West. See figure for all possible locations for
toilets and bathrooms.
Toilets should be avoided in the Northeast,
North and East.
Mirrors in the toilet and dressing room should
be on the North or East walls.
A bathroom in the East sector is most preferred
as the beneficial rays of the morning sun can
enter and promote the health of the user.
7/31/2019 Science of Vastu
13/20
In the office or study room, the table should be
placed in the Western or Southern side so that
one sits facing the East or North. No equipment,
furniture, cupboards, etc, should be placed
touching the North or East walls and if it
becomes unavoidable, they should be kept at
least 4" or 6" away from the walls.
Cash boxes can be located in the room towards
the North (treasury). But if the box is heavy
(such as a safe, heavy almirah) then it should be
kept in the Southwest corner and the door of
the almirah should open towards the North.
The storage or lumber-room can be located in
the Southwest, adjacent to the Master bedroom.
If possible, the house should be extended by 4
feet to 5 feet in the Northeast direction to
ensure the Northeast directional bliss for the
household. Growing tulsi and other beneficial
herbal plants in the Northeast will promote
good health and prosperity.
Pictures of landscapes depicting mountains
should be hung on the South and West wallsonly Landscapes containing water, such as
pictures of lakes and rivers should be on the
North and East walls. Pictures of eagles, battle
scenes, and carnivorous animals should not be
used for interior wall decorations. Pictures of
horses, cows and elephants can be used for
decoration purposes.
The directions of East and West are important
as far as obtaining the energy from the sun isconcerned. The importance of the directions of
the North and the South lies in the flow of
magnetic waves which flows from North Pole to
South Pole. Therefore southward portion of
every building should be higher than the
northward portion.
7/31/2019 Science of Vastu
14/20
Besides this it should also be kept in mind that
the inclination of land, building, floors of rooms
etc. should be towards North-East. In other
words the parts in the West and South of the
building should be slightly higher than those in
the North and East.
VASTU SHANTI TIPS ( FOR PEACE AND
PROSPERITY):
When sitting for worship, keep your face
towards North-West and sit in that corner to
intake air from that direction.
Cash boxes can be located in the room towards
the North (treasury). But if the box is heavy
(such as a safe, heavy almirah) then it should be
kept in the Southwest corner and the door of
the almirah should open towards the North.
TVs and computers should ideally be placed in
the Southeast corner of the living room or study
room. They should not be placed in theNortheast corner or Southwest corner.
Telephones can be placed in the Southeast or
Northwest corner but not in the Southwest or
Northeast.

fish, in the north east corner/portion of the
house or factory is very good.
