Vastu through my eyes…
Vastu comes from a Sanskrit word, meaning ‘Vas’ – live, ‘tu’ – you; a place where you live or dwell. Vastu (or ‘premises’) refers to an open space bound by walls on all sides, irrespective of the presence of a roof or not. Every such designed area has a centre of energy, also referred to as the deity of the premises. It’s mission is to invest energy to any pleasing or tormenting event happening there. Vastushastra is a Vedic science that explains the contrast between pleasant and distressing frequencies generated in premises. Ramapada Acharjee is one of the best vastu consultant in India. He has mastered this art under the tutelage of his father, the famous astrologer in kolkata late Kamakhya charan Acharjee. A The term Vastu Shastra itself advocates that it is a ‘Shastra’. Shastra means a rational science supported by observations and facts. It takes into consideration, the laws of nature which are ruled by a set of principles. Vastu Shastra was developed by our ancestors nearly 5000 years ago, as a sacred Vedic science for laying out and organisation of buildings. This science has evolved over the centuries to enhance the standard of living of every human life in the world.
The use of Vastushastra has benefitted humanity in many ways. A few of them have been mentioned below :
- Make sure the ingress of the house is positioned either towards the north or the north-east as it is the perfect direction for sunlight coming into the house. The house should have a good amount of natural sunlight.
- The house should be well-ventilated. Therefore, it is ideal to have either a north or an east-facing balcony.
- Bedrooms in a Vastu-compliant home should be situated in the south, south-west or the west. Any other direction might summon problems such as sleeplessness, anxiety and short-temperedness.
- The kitchen is said to be governed by the ‘Aagneya’ or the fire element and as such, it should be positioned in the south-east corner of the house.
- The location of the bathrooms in the house should either be in the southern or the south-west corner of the house. This ensures proper ventilation and an infection-free atmosphere.
- A staircase in the middle of the house is not advisable as it would not only block the incoming sunlight but also make the house seem suffocated and congested.
- The living room should be ideally located in the centre of the house so as to let the natural light come inside and ensure a positive and energised environment.
Vastushastra merges the science, art, astronomy and astrology, it can also be said as an ancient mystic science for designing and building. Vastu is the field of supervision that collaborates all the five elements of nature and balances them with an individual and therefore, the material. Vastu Shastra is introducing a compatible setting or an area to live or work, in a very scientific manner taking advantages of the benefits vouchsafed by the five components referred to as the “Paanchbhootas” of the Nature thereby, leading the way to strengthen health, wealth, prosperity and happiness in a refined environment.
Vastu for Home
The science of construction can be called Vastu. Or it can be said that the energy that is created by the combination of different objects in the construction is Vastu. Good or bad energy is emitted depending on how or where things are kept in the home. Vastu is an art by which the balance between good and bad energy can be maintained. In addition to the construction of the building, the soil test of the place where it is located, the way the road passes in front, the direction the building faces, the water system the surrounding environment are all included in the Vastushastra.
Vastu is also mentioned in our ancient literature and scriptures. According to Raj Vallabh, an ancient Vastubid, not only a good house but also a good life requires compliance with the Vastu. Here are some of the ones he found to be important:
- The usefulness of the House according to the city in which it will be built.
- The direction of the Home
- Soil
- Determining the direction of the stars according to the position of the Vastu Purush
There are five main points in a home. – Place, air, water, fire and soil. Peace, prosperity and good health will be maintained among the people if coordination between these five is maintained. In Vastushastra it is said that Brahma created our body for the abode of the soul. Just as there is a balance between water, air, etc., so there is a need for coordination between the five basic elements for our body to live.
There are four directions east, west, north and south. These four aspects have a special effect on the Vastu of a home. It is important to have knowledge about this when constructing a building. Earlier, the direction was calculated by looking at the shadow of the sun. Now, with the help of advanced technology like magnetic compass, the direction is determined accurately. Although there are four main aspects in general, there are a total of ten aspects in Vastushastra. However, there are eight directions in the compass. The compass can rotate up to 180 degrees in total. There are 45 degrees for each direction. It is necessary to check the degree level for each direction.
North side: According to Vastu the north side is considered extremely auspicious. The ruler of this side is Kuber, the god of wealth. That is why the northern side is identified as the direction of financial and professional development. Mercury is the northernmost planet. The chest and abdomen of the Vastupurush are on the northside. Therefore, it is important to keep the north side of the home open, bright and beautiful at all times. According to Vastushastra, the North Pole emits large amounts of good energy. This energy is necessary for all members of the household. In Vastu Shastra advises keeping the north side open so that the positive energy of the North Pole can enter the house better.
South Side: The south side has always been marked as the worst side in Vastushastra. But that is not always true. It can be said that the bank of all good energy in the north is the south. It is better that the south side is not very open. The Hindu deity Yam is the ruler of this side in Baastushastra. So if the south side of the house is more open, the members of the house will be afflicted with various ailments and even death. Members of the open house on the south side can also get involved in lawsuits. Money and prestige will increase if there is a closed wall on the south side. The representative planet in this direction is Mars.
East Side: Extremely strong aspect. The lord of this planet is Devaraja Indra. Indra is the god of rain, prestige, festivities and energy. As well as the representative planet to the east is the sun, which in itself is a huge source of energy. The effect of the sun is to improve life. So we identify the east as the direction of progress. It is important to keep the east side of the house open, bright and clean. On this side, if there are only closed walls instead of doors and windows, improvement in life will be hindered. Having a bathroom on the east side of the house is a big obstacle. Remember, obstacles in the east mean obstacles in your life as well.
West Side: This is the direction of establishment and prosperity in life. The lord of this side is Vishnu, the god of rain, fame and fortune. The representative planet in this direction is Saturn. It is not advisable to keep the west side of the house very open. East energy i.e. energy emitted from the sun is stored towards the west. As the sun rises, the source of energy shifts from east to west as it descends from east to west. It is better not to have the main door of the house on the west side. This destroys the possibility of earning money.
Northeast Side: Very good aspect in Vastushastra. The ruler of this side is Shiva. Its representative planet is Jupiter. Donates wealth, prestige and good health. Northeast is a very auspicious place for students. Strong magnetic energy is emitted from this direction. Building a toilet on the northeast side of the house can kill the whole family. Combustible substances should not be placed on this side. It is better not to do big construction on this side.
Southeast Side: If you have a grumpy, sensitive well-wisher, a lot like him is this southeast. The lord of the southeast is Agnidev. Its representative planet is Venus. When the sun comes to the southeast, its mood is extremely fierce. This is the time when the sun is at its most extreme. This fierce form is likened to fire. It is better to do fire work in this direction. It is important to be careful when storing and building things in this direction.
Southwest Side: The lord of this side is a demon named Niriti. Its representative planet is Rahu. This is the strongest aspect of the home as the magnetic energy emitted from the northeast is stored in this direction. Proper use of this aspect can lead to a very strong and healthy life. This aspect is identified as the aspect of wealth, health and confidence. If used in accordance with Vastushastra, the southwest side will bring fame. But misuse will bring many problems. Money will run out. Depression, anxiety and even suicidal tendencies can occur. Misuse of the southwest in the workplace is a cause of inattention to work by employees.
Northwest Side: The lord of this direction is the wind. Its representative planet is the moon. This aspect is very unstable as it is the main component of wind. Proper use of this aspect brings many opportunities in life. Professional life can be improved. However, its misuse causes confusion. It can also lead to illness.

Even if the factories that are going through difficulties are changed according to the rules of ecology, then those factories will also start running smoothly.
