Prakaran
In Vastu Shastra, the formula of Aaya and Vargas need to be followed for
scientific and accurate construction. There are Nine Vargas also known
as Navavargas and the importance of each Varga is stated in the classical
references such as Samarangana, Suthradhara, Mayamata, Aparajita
Prucha, Kalarnrutha, Viswakarma Prakasika, Vasthusara, etc.
The Vishwakarma Prakasika elaborates the Nine Vargas in detail.
The name of Nine Vargas being Ayam, Varam, Amsa, Dhana, Runa,
Nakshatra, Tidhi, Yuti Ayuvu.
There are also a variety of opinions and thus some classical texts state
only about 6 Vargas being Aaya, Dhana, Vyaya, Tidhi, Vara, Nakshatra.
There are eight types of Aaya’s representing each direction, namely:
Dhwaja- East
Dhumra- South East
Simha- South
Svana- South West
Gaja- North
Kaka- North East
Vrusha- West
Khara- North West
The Aayas are best suited for the position or direction of which they are
native off. The Aaya which is opposite to the native direction is always of
the enemy character for the Native. The construction of the
house/office/temple can be done in any of the four directions i.e. North,
East, South, West but not in any corner.
Effects of Aayas
There are different effects of Aayas on different areas of life. Some of
these effects are:
Dhwaja Aaya: Benefits related to money
Dhumra Aaya: Sorrows
Simha Aaya: Luxuries
Svana Aaya: Great Sins
Vrushbha Aaaya: Increase and accumulation of Wealth and gains
Gaja Aaya: Success in career prospects
Kaka Aaya: Death
The main doors should be made facing the native side of the Aaya for the
best and favourable results. For example, to attain favorable results
from the Dhwaja Aaya the doors should be constructed in the Western
sides as the Native side of Dhwaja Aaya is east and thus it will be facing
east.
The Aayas have their own Swarups and lordships cast too. Simha Aaya is
of the lion, Vrushabha Aaya is of bull, Gaja Aaya is of an elephant,
Dhumra Aaya is a cat, Svana Aaya is a dog, Khara Aaya is of a donkey and
whereas the kaka is of crow.
Most of these Aayas have Masculine features, Bullock like features,
elevated neck, hands which match human hands, features like bird feet
and lion neck are also present, which are favourably considered.
The Fifth Varga of the Native Varga should be avoided as it is considered
as of enmity nature and does no good to Native Varga. The best Varga is
always the Swa Varga (which means the Varga of its own) as it is
favourable and always preferred.
The effects of different Vargas from the Native Vargas are:
Swavarga: Dhana Labha, Monetary benefits.
Second Varga: Fewer Profits
Third Varga: Auspicious
Fourth Varga: Diseases
Fifth Varga: Enemical
Sixth Varga: Quarrelsome
Seventh Varga: All kinds of benefits
Eighth Varga: Death
AMSA
There are only three “Amsas” in the Aaya Prakasana:
Indramsa- It will present the status and happiness of a person.
Yamamsa- It will lead to death, sorrow and many diseases.
Rajasamsa- It will improve wealth and gains.
The Mars and Sun of a house will result in threat from fire and the other
houses will be favourable.
Tithis: Among the Tithis, Rikta Tithi will cause poverty and Amavasya
tithi will cause diseases of worms.
Yogas: The bad Yogas of the 27 Yogas present will affect the owner with
loss of wealth and gains.
Ayuvu (Life Span): When the lifespan of the house is based on
arithematical calculations and the result is more than 60, then it is
considered to be lucky and auspicious and if the result is less than 60,
then it is considered to be inauspicious.
Ayadi calculation is one of the most important parts in Sthapatya Veda, Ayadi Calculation is also
called as Ayadi Shadvarga or the building formulae. The Scriptures, as well as the ancient
architects (Sthapatis), considered the dwellings as a living organism, irrespective of the temple,
residential homes, palaces etc.
The Land also known as Ksetra and the dwellings was built in proper rhythm & proportion for
the residents to live in harmony with nature. When houses were built using these Ayadi
formulae, they were said to give the residents spirituality, health, wealth and prosperity.
There are different calculations done in Vaastu for different purposes using Ayadi Shadvarga to
check the energy suitability of the residents with the land & building by taking into account the
Nakshatra or the birth star of the owner, these calculations are used for Town or city planning,
Temples, Residences, Apartments, Commercial & Industrial buildings.
Yoni calculation is an important aspect in Ayadi calculation, based on the Yoni the direction of
the plot & Building is decided. Dhwaja Yoni is considered the best Yoni in Sthapatya Veda.
Another important point to be observed is that all the auspicious Yonis are in line with Cardinal
direction of North, South, East & West. The Plot or the building with diagonal directions &
entrance from North-East, South-East, South-West, North-West is inauspicious & hence rejected.
Varam with 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 is auspicious
There are 27 Nakshatras in Vedic astrology, the nakshatras with 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 as remainders are
auspicious.
The above calculations are performed by an expert Vaastu Sthapathis, before one starts
construction of any form of the building, it is recommended that You consult an expert to attain
both spiritual & material benefits.
