Principle
Good Land Energy Overcomes Orientation Mistakes
If the land energy is good, a building can still succeed despite mistakes in orientation; if the orientation is 100 percent correct but the land energy is zero, no effort brings results. Land energy is read best by your own soul and subconscious mind, not by equipment alone.
Principle
Granite: Limited Use on Stairs and Windows, Never the Whole House
Granite contains fluoride, and areas with granite bedrock show more kidney problems and aggression, so it should be used only in limited places such as stairs and windows.
Principle
Gravitational Force: Keep the Whole Building Level and in Plumb
Gravitational force acts between the earth and every building, object and person. When columns, beams, walls, plaster and elevation are aligned with plumb line and level, the force stays balanced and the occupants remain healthy and alert; misalignment brings obstacles, illness and loss.
Principle
Green Colour Therapy: Antiseptic, Detox and Fast Healing
Green, the colour of the air element, is antiseptic; it removes swelling, brings happiness, reduces negativity and detoxes the body.
Principle
Greenery Is Fine in Every Direction and Trees Should Never Be Cut
The belief that the North-West, West or South-West must have no greenery is wrong: plants can go in every direction, and a vastu expert should never get a tree cut but should plant auspicious trees beside it instead.
Principle
Gridding Each Room Separately in Interior Vastu
Interior vastu grids every room from its own centre, in addition to the house grid, and places items by the room's own zones; in a kitchen the deciding point is where the fire burns.
Principleहीन बाहु द्वार
Heen Bahu Dwar: Anti-clockwise Route from Main Door to Gate
Leaving the main door and reaching the boundary wall gate by moving anti-clockwise forms heen bahu dwar, which cuts the results of even a correctly placed door.
Principle
Home Temple Rules: West Facing East, Small Shikhar, No Hanging Idols
The best place for a home temple is the West with the deities facing East, as in the great temples; SW and WSW also work, and a Saraswati temple suits WSW. Keep the shikhar small, never hang consecrated idols, and stand elephant figures on a solid base.
Principleश्मशान
House Facing a Cremation Ground (Shamshan)
A house whose front faces a cremation ground does not give results even with correct facing and a correct door; most of the hard work drains away.
Principle
House Facing, Entrance and Bedroom by the Strength of Sun, Moon and Mars
A strong planet makes its direction the best facing, entrance and bedroom location, while a debilitated planet or a lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house makes the same direction one to avoid.
Principle
How Much Planetary Energy Trees, Mirrors, Water, Yantras and Metals Capture
Only about 55 percent of the Sun's energy reaches the earth. Of that, trees and plants capture about 95 percent, mirrors 80, pyramids 65, water 60, yantras 60 to 90, metals 45 and stones 35, while plastic and petroleum by-products capture none.
Principle
Human Body as the Model for Vastu Placements
The human body, imagined facing East, is built like the Vastu Purush Mandal, and the position of each body function shows where the matching part of a house belongs.
Principle
Indoor Plants in Every Home, but No Fruit Trees Indoors and None in the Bedroom
Trees and plants capture about 90 percent of the solar energy that reaches the earth and give it out through the day, so every home needs indoor plants in galleries and around the living areas. Fruit-bearing trees must stay outside, and no plant goes in the bedroom.
Principleअनिद्रा द्वार
Insomnia Doors: Main Door Pads That Disturb Sleep
Main doors on N6, N7, N8, E1, E6, E7, W6, W7, W8 and N1 cause insomnia, even when people sleep in a correct room and direction.
Principleइंटीरियर वास्तु
Interior Vastu: Customised Vastu Balancing Planets, Forces and Elements
Interior vastu is customised vastu: arranging and decorating the inside of a home, office, factory, temple, school or hospital according to the particular owner's horoscope, so that the nine planets, the three forces and the five elements are balanced for that person.
Principle
Interiors Must Avoid Anti-Element Materials and Marak Colours
Interior work done without vastu can ruin a business even when all directions are correct: anti-element materials and colours, the most harmful (marak) colour of the owner's kundli, or a main table placed with zero aay all cause losses. Symbols, swastiks and corrected colours can restore it.
Principle
Jain Origin of Vastu: Shilpa Taught by Adi Prabhu to Vishwakarma
In the Jain account, during the bhog bhoomi of the third era kalpavriksha trees granted every wish, until rising sin made them stop giving. Adi Prabhu then taught the six means of livelihood, asi, masi, krishi, vidya, vanijya and shilpa, and gave the complete knowledge of Vastu to his fourth son Vishwakarma.
Principle
Janma Rashi vs Naam Rashi: Which Element to Use Where
The janma rashi (Moon sign) runs the whole life and is used for stable works such as house construction muhurta and marriage, while the rashi of the name in use can be used for business records. Naming a child by the janma rashi keeps the person's element unchanged.
Principle
Jupiter (North-East) Interior: Ivory, Golden Yellow, Citrine, Ashtamangal, Tulsi
The North-East is the seat of Jupiter. Its interior uses ivory and white with golden yellow, gold or gold-polished artifacts, topaz or citrine, auspicious symbols such as Ashtamangal, Nandyavart and the mangal kalash, and white or yellow flowering plants.
Principleकर्ज द्वार
Karz Dwar: Main Door Pads That Keep the Family in Debt
Main doors on N8, N7, W3, W6 and S6 are karz (debt) doors: however much is borrowed, the family or factory stays in debt and cannot repay it.
Principle
Keep Artifacts With Friend Elements; Enemy Placement Brings Sudden Losses
Every direction and every artifact represents an element, so an artifact, picture or scenery should sit with its friend element. Placed beside an enemy element it causes unrest at home and losses in business.
Principle
Keep Columns, Pits and Studs Off the Vastu Purush's Marma Points
Every house, however small, carries the Vastu Purush's eyes, nose, ears, hands, feet, heart, navel and other parts, including the marma and ati-marma (vital) points. A column, pit or stud on these points harms the occupants, just as a speck of dust in the eye or an injury to a vital organ harms the body.
Principle
Keep Furniture, Tables and the Tijori in Water Level and Alignment
The third principle of interior vastu: furniture, tables, the tijori (safe), artefacts and idols must sit perfectly level and in proper alignment so that gravitational force acts on them correctly.
Principle
Keep Medicines in the North-North-East, Never in a South-Facing Drawer
Medicines kept in the NNE are charged by the healing rays of that zone; the North, NE, ENE and West also work, but never a cupboard or drawer that faces South.
Principle
Keep the Bed at Water Level Against Bad Dreams and Illness
A bed that is not level leaves the sleeper with bad dreams (duswapna) and frequent illness, because the gravitational force does not act correctly on it.
Principle
Keep the North-East, East-North-East and East Low, Open, Clean and Partly Unpaved
The three zones from North-East to East receive pure energy that must collect and stay, so they are kept low, open to the sky and free of dirt, toilets, high walls and heavy objects, with a part left unpaved (kachcha) for a garden or lawn.
Principle
Keep the South-West Packed, Heavy and Closed (Earth Zone Rule)
The South-West holds the earth element, whose nature is solid, heavy and dense, so this zone is kept solid, heavy and compact with the fewest openings. Infrared rays also arrive from the South-West at a particular time of day, another reason to keep it closed.
Principleचौका
Kitchen as the Centre of Emotions: Chauka Purity and Serving by Hand
The kitchen is the most important part of the house because the food made there shapes the mind, thoughts and blood of everyone; its old name chauka means a place of four purities.
Principle
Kitchen Colours: Platform by Zone, Floor, Walls and Cabinets
Choose the platform colour by the kitchen's zone and use ivory with orange for the floor and ivory with pista green for the walls and cabinets; the correct platform colour alone removes about 25 percent of a wrongly placed kitchen's dosh.
