square plot is considered beneficial and good from all aspects. Triangular plot isinauspicious.

Also, a big plot fetches prosperity, but it should not be having cleavage or cracksanywhere. A narrow plot in between two big plots is also not good

SpaceIf your house has more open vacant space in south than in north, it will lead to destructionand downfall, be it a house or an industry, or a temple or a hut. More open space in theeast than in the west is auspicious; the principle holds true for more open space in thenorth than in the south too. Open space should be kept all around the building. The plothaving road on the east-north directions is better.

Determination of Directions

It is very essential to determine the directions correctly. In absence of the correctdemarcation of directions, positions of various rooms, and doors etc. will be faulty whichwill change the whole situation of the house. It may turn into situation against the principlesof Vaastu Shastra rendering the house inauspicious. Necessity of correct marketing of

directions is also expressed in our scriptures: Prasade Sadane alinde dware kunde

visheshtah; Dik moodhe kulnashah syatasmatsa shodhay eddishah. i.e.; It is necessaryto determine the directions correctly while constructing a temple, palace, house, gates,porch, pond etc. in proper direction. Therefore as per instructions of Vaastu Shastra, abuilding construction should be started only after marking of the directions, east-west etc.In ancient scriptures, methods for determining the directions with the help of the shadowformed when a cone is placed in sun on the open plot, or by observing the pole-star orother constellations in the night. Now a days, directions can easily be marked by the

architects with the help of the compass. Direction and position of a room or gate etc. canbe correctly decided only when the construction work is started after marking thedirections properly.

It can be noted that several magnificent buildings built without proper consideration ofdirection are being rectified under the expert guidance of learned architects and scholarsor Vaastu Shastra. Therefore it is better to start the work after determining the directionsso that the building is constructed according verandahs (balconies) and also the roomsare constructed in proper place and in proper direction, there remains no defect in thebuilding, and inmates are blessed with all the happiness and good fortune. Just as it isnecessary to think over the merits and demerits of the plot of land as mentioned in VaastuShastra, one has to be much more cautions in the construction of the building. A buildingconstructed according to the basic principles given in Vaastu Shastra keeps the inmateshappy and prosperous. In modern sense, to make the five basic materials, i.e.; earth,

water, fire, air and space, favorable to the house is the very essence of Vaastu Shastra.Therefore while constructing a house, rules or principles given in Vaastu Shastraregarding direction, shape, level should be taken into consideration. For example, south-east corner is the seat of the god of fire, Agnidev. So kitchen and any room for worksrelated to fire/heat should be made in this corner, then only the house will be trouble free.

Constructions against the laws of nature at one's own will may cause pollution, which givesrise to many other problems of health, fear etc. that will result in loss of wealth, propertyand life also. Directions have very much significance in the construction of a building. Thefour directions have their own importance, where as the corners formed by theconcurrence of two direction are much more important because effects of both thedirections can be felt at the corners.

The gods governing these directions are noted below:-




5/5

Directions : Name of the God : Effect

East: Indra : Progress & growth

South-East : Agni : Energy, vigour, strength

South: Yama : Death

South-West : Nairut (Demon) : Purity & Cleanliness

West : Varun : Water

North-West : Vayu : Air/Winds

North : Kuber : Wealth&Prosperity

North-West : Eeshwar Religion : Divinity Vertically worldly pleasures.

These gods govern the directions and control the various areas as given above. Forsuccessful implementation of any plan, the concerned god is worshipped. Room or spacein a particular direction should be used for a purpose suitable to the nature of the god andthe material he controls in that area. That is how to avoid defects of Vaastu. The godcontrolling the area in the house is worshipped and offers made to please him, requestingfor his blessings and peaceful happy life.
