ORIGIN OF VASTU
Shri Vishvakarma is the source of Sthapatya Ved knowledge. He is the origin of the entire knowledge. The universe is created with the very same principles that he passed to Rishis and Maharishis thousands of years ago to utilize in designing homes, cities and countries. This very universe is in precise order, moving with precise time throughout many billions of years.

The plot is the land on which we build the building. It is the base for the constructed structure and would definitely influence the activities in the building.

Like the basis the soil offers a growing plant, the earth nurtures the building. We know that Vastu is dependent on earth energies and so the plot, which is the earth component of the home, is important. Just as in agriculture the plot has to nurture lives in a home too.

VITHI SULA
If the road that serves a house ends at a plot then the house is termed a blind end or a dead end. In effect the road physically stops at the gate of the house. This is a bad phenomenon. Energy has a one way traffic and gets stagnated within the plot. This causes stagnation in career and investments. Money gets locked up in needless avenues
