 Introduction
• If the various activities in a house, shop, office
or industry are directionally channelised as per
principles of Vaastu, we begin to draw power
from nature in a natural way
 Application Of Vaastushastra

• In the world everything, substance, man

and other animals are made from the
Panchmahabhoot that is the five basic
elements.
• The earth, the water, the fire, the wind and
the sky.
• The five elements have close relationship with
man and his environment. Nature has given
them their proper place according to merit.

to the four principal directions :
 For better results, any activity in your residence oroffice
should be supplemented by the cosmic position of the
elements.
• The North-East (NE) is assigned to Water : Have a
bore well, underground water tank in that position.
• The South-East (SE) is assigned to Fire : Have your
kitchen, pantry, furnace, boiler there.
• The North-West (NW) is assigned to Air : There have
a guest-room bed room for unmarried girls or a store
for finished goods .
• The South-West (SW) is assigned to Earth : It is the
most stable of all elements. Keep it heavy and this is
the best place for master Bed Room.
• The Centre is assigned to Space : Have the least
possible activity in this area

Directions In The Plot And Building
 Room for Worship
• At the sun -rise the rays of the sun fall on the
N.E. side of any place. So it was decided that
the room for worship should be on the N.E.
• If any type of building is raised on the N.E, the
owner of the house will have mental worry and
becomes dull. So, the N.E. corner should be kept
separate only to install God’s idol and worship it .
• It is also advised to plant a Basil plant
(TULSI) and worship it regularly except
sunday.
Room for Worship
 Bath Room
• It is an established truth that water flow on the
North, North-East and East sides.
• So our ancestors used to construct Bathroom on
the East. Soon after taking bath in the morning ,
people used to pray to the Sun offering ‘Arghya’
(water offered chanting Mantras).
• Hence, even today, it is advised to construct
bathroom on the East side only in the house or
on the open place. This satisfies the rules given
in the ‘VAASTU SHASTRA
Bath Room
 Kitchen
• The presiding deity of South-East is Agni,
the God of fire. Therefore, the sages laid
down the rule that kitchen should be on the
South-East .
• According to Hygienic Science the sun-rays
indirectly help leaf vegetables which contain
the ingredients necessary for food
Kitchen
 Study Room
• In olden days it was considered good that
the place on the West towards S.W. is the
best one for studies.
• The reason is the planets mercury, Jupiter, the
Moon and Venus influence the place as
mentioned below.
Study Room
 Dining Hall
• For taking food, the central part on the
West is a useful one.
• Whatever one eats it is digested very easily.
Place to Keep Tame Animals, Cattle
and Birds
• The N.W. of a plot is the best side to keep the
above said living beings.
• Granary also must be on the same side. If
the N. W. increases or decreases, it affects
the health of cattle.
 Bed - Room
• Ancient sages suggested that the place
attached to the room which is towards the
N.W. on the North is good to be used as a
Bedroom
• It is good to lie down on bed keeping one’s
head on the West side, because the sun rises in
the East, the presiding deity of which is
Indira, the Lord of devatas (Gods).
