| Vaastu & construction guidance in Hyderabad |
| |
Vaastu is one of the most valuable treasures of ancient Indian knowledge. Vastu Shilpa Shastra, the ancient mystic science and the art of designing and constructing buildings finds its origin in Atharvana veda, one of the four Vedas. According to modern historians ferguson, havell and Cunningham, this science developed during the period of 6000 B.C and 3000 B.C.
Vaastu principles, if carefully followed, brings prosperity into the household, love and peace. Vastu Shastra is directed at hormonising external space with the internal space within man. The whole universe is a composition of five basic elements : fire, air, space, earth and water. The human body is also made up of these five elements. Vastu harnesses the various energies present around us ina particular pattern so that they blend harmoniously with the persons living in the building. |

| 1. INTRODUCTION : |
| |
Vaastu is about an understanding of the four cordinal direction (dishas), i.e., North, East, South and West and four angles (Vidishas), i.e., North-East (Easanya), South-East (Agneya), South-West (Nairuti) and North-West (Vayavya). The central position is called Brahmasthan

- East direction is the place of family generation. At the time of construction of a house, open place should be left in the east direction.
- North direction is the place of mother. By leaving open space in North, the maternal side prospers.
- West direction is capable of giving success, glory, fame and fortune.
- South direction is responsible for wealth, success, happiness and peace.
- North-East or Easanya gives stability to the family
- South-East or Agneya is for good health and healthy finances of the inmates of the house.
- South-West or Nairuti is the Earth zone. If faultless, it gives stability to the head/ master of the family. A faulty Nairuti can lead to accidents, mishaps and financial instability.
- North-West or Vayuvya is the place of relationships, friends and enemies. If it you have fault in Vayuvya, then you may have many enemies. If it is faultless, the there will be many helpful friends.

- The North-East is a water zone. It is right place for borewell or sump.
- The South-East is a fire zone. It is right place for kitchen, pantry, furnace, boiler.
- The North-West is a air zone. Finished goods can keep here. So that they will move fast.
- The South-West is a earth zone. The earth element gives stability and determination.
- The centre/ Brahmasthan is assigned to space. This is a sacred area. Through this area, auspicious and positive energies circulate in the house. So, keep this area free of heavy furniture.

| 2. SELECTION OF LAND : |
Ancient Vastu texts dwell at length on the types of land and examination of soil. For any building, the land (Kshetra) is the basic requirement and utmost care should be taken in its selection
Types of soil:
Earth is classified according to its color like brick red, dark brown, black, yellow or mixed, according to its smell, texture and taste. Black and clayey soil is not good for construction.
- The soil white in color, having lotus smell, sweet taste and which contains greenery is considered very good.
- The soil red in color, smelling blood and astringent in taste is good but needs some attention.
- The soil yellow/pale green in color, grainish smell and sour taste is average and needs a lot of rectification before commencement of work.
The soil black in color, having pungent small and bitter taste should be avoided as it is not auspicious for construction of the houses.
While designing the foundation, the load bearing capacity of the soil should be checked. The real analysis of soil should be done which determines the land selection for the plot and for the foundation of the building.
Location and buying:
The location of the plot is very important as the surroundings affects us directly and indirectly. You must take care of the following things:
- One should not buy the land from people suffering from prolonged sickness or who have become insolvent, distressed or unfortunate people as the atmosphere of the particular space depends on the people living there.
- The soil of the land should not contain ant-hills, bones, skeletons.
- Old houses which are damaged due to fire, lighting, rain and storm etc., are not good.
- You should not buy the land which is sandwiched between two huge buildings.
The plot at the T- junction should be avoided.
Topography and surroundings
There are several factors which make a plot useable or non useable. The four directions, the shape, the existence of highways, cremation places, rivers, wells, places of worships, they all influence the VASTU of the place.
- There should not be any cemetery graveyard, tomb adjacent to the plot or in front or the back. If this is the condition, the people residing in that house will live in fear and will never have the peace of mind.
- A temple, church, mosque also should not be in front of any house otherwise the inmates will always be sick and mentally upset.
Falling of shadows of the temples and trees nearby on the main building brings undesirable problems.
Selection of the plot
Facing of the plots are considered important but there is a wrong notion that North and East facing plots are better than South and West facing plots. This is not true, all the directions are equally important; it is up to us how much we follow the rules.
- The plot should be either square or rectangle in shape
- Irregular shapes should be avoided or should be cured before construction.
The site should be level or sloping towards North or east or North-East.
Vastu gives high importance to the selection of the plot. If the topography of the plot is as per Vastu then there is a strong positive energy field on the plot.
- If you are planning to buy additional land, avoid buying lands that is to the South-West, South, West and South-East of your plot. Extensions are good in North, East and North-East directions only.
- Plots which have thrusting roads, i.e. roads which are pointing at the plot, have to be carefully analysed. Some of these roads have positive and some have negative energies.
- Big constructions, mountains, trees, etc. in south and west of the plot or building are good.
- A temple in front, side or back of the plot is inauspicious especially if its shadow falls on the plot or building.
- River/ stream in north and east are good. The flow should be from south to north or from west to east.
- Water sources, wells, borewell, underground water tank in south, south-west and south-east are inauspicious.
- Underground water sources like wells, bore wells, underground water tanks are auspicious in north-east only.
- No high-tension wire should pass above the plot.
- Cardinal directions plots, viz.north, east, south and west are suitable to purchase.
- Avoid plots which are not oriented towards the cardinal directions. These are called “Vidisha” plots. Vidisha plots can be balanced in case other factors related to selection of a plot like direction, surroundings and quality of soil, are favourable. Construction should be parallel to the boundaries of the plot.
- Plots which face a T-junction or Y-junction are considered inauspicious, as these roads point at the plot with lot of concentrated energy.

| 3. Golden rules for House construction : |
- Prepare the site as per Vastu Shastra before commencing construction. Clean the site of all inauspicious objects.
- Pits, depressions and wells located in inauspicious portions of the site should be filled up and land surface should be leveled. The construction will proceed at a faster speed in a plot cleansed and purged as per Vastu Shastra.
- Digging of the soil for laying the foundation should be in the following order: North-East sector, then North-West sector, then South-East and the South-West sector.
- Laying of the foundation should be in the reverse order, i.e. first South-West sector, then South-East, then North-West and lastly North-East.
- A water source on the site should be dug and a well / bore well / underground water tank should be preferably be placed in the East or North-East. Having a water body in the South-East or South of the house can cause damage to the child or wife of the owner. An underground water tank in South-West can be fatal to the head of the family.
- Have the compound walls on the south and west higher and thicker than the north and east walls.
- Use new construction material for a fresh construction. Second-hand building material like stone, iron and used wood (used door and window frames) should not be used in construction of a new house. Old/ used material can be used while renovating the house.
- Flooring slope should be from south-west to north-east to facilitate the water flow in the house.
- The septic tank should not be in the south-east, north-east or south-west corners of the plot. Pit for septic tank should be in north of north-west or west of north-west only.
- Open space should be kept all around the building, that is four sides of the house. It gives us luck to the house and full of lighting, flowing of air. Open space at agneya and vayavya should be equal. The main building should be constructed in the south-west of the plot leaving more open space in north and east. More open space in north or east gives name, fame and prosperity to the residents. Leaving more open space in south and west side of the house can affect the male members adversely, where in a factory. It leads to financial losses and disputes amongst partners.
- Depression in south-west can result in serious illness to the residents, whereas depression in north-west causes enmity and litigation. The depression in south portion of the building restricts growth, besides creating financial problems.
- South side of the building should always be higher than the north. This gives good health and prosperity to the residents. Incase the north is higher than the south it results in ill health and losses.
- West portion of the building should be higher than the east for favorable growth of children. A lower west leads to problems to and from children.
- South-west should be higher than north-east for all round prosperity and good health. A higher north-east causes severe ill health and loss of prosperity for the owner.
- The central portion or Brahmasthan should not be depressed. Heavy objects, wells, lifts and toilets are totally prohibited in the Brahmasthan.
- Atleast 30 percent of house walls should have doors and windows for sufficient flow of air and light. More windows should be kept towards north and east side of the house.
- Balconies or terraces should be north and east sides.

| 10. Bed room : |
| |
Since we are spending one-third of our lives in the bed, its location is of utmost importance. Spending close to 8 hours a day in the same area, the inherent properties of specific zones work on our subconscious and mould our life accordingly.
The location of a bedroom and the sleeping position has a bearing on our mental and physical well-being.Different zones in Vastu having particular significance are suited for different family members. The shuffling of bedrooms between family members, allocation of the right bedroom for each member and correction of the sleeping position can bring definite positive results for the household.

- Avoid having bedrooms in the North-East and South-East sectors of the house.
- In case of bedroom in North-East, only the elderly or children should use it. This bedroom is not good for the master of the house or for a young couple. When couple sleeps in a Northern or North-East bedrooms, their family does not grow.
- Use the South-West or South bedroom for the master of the house or for the elder son.
- South-East bedroom gives rise to sleeplessness, worries and marital problems. If the head of the family is in South-East, he is found to be constantly embroiled in disputes. Newly married couples should definitely avoid this room. This is also not a good zone for pregnant ladies.
- North-West direction is ruled by Vayu or Air. This is a good zone for placement of marriageable daughter’s bedroom. North-West bedrooms are also good for newly weds and for couples planning to have a baby(It is recommended that after conception, the couple should move to a southern bedrooms). This can be good for Guest bedroom.
- Bedrooms should not be located in the central portion of the house. Brahmasthan attracts a lot of energy which is not conducive to the main objective of a bedroom providing rest, peace and tranquility.
- Square or rectangular bedrooms are the best.
- Beds must be of good quality wood. They should be solid and must not be shaky.
- Shoes,slippers,etc.should not be kept under the bed. Try to keep the area under the bed as clean as possible as dirt and dust accumulate a lot of negativity.

It is not good for the house owner’s health and the financial well being to have his bed room in the North-East, East or North. Some times the inmates of that bed room may be facing lots of difficulties with others, mostly financial, health, sufferings from unneccessary expenditures etc.
- People sleeping in South-East in East bedrooms suffer from sleeplessness, anxiety and short temper.
- The owner sleeping in North-West bed rooms suffers instability.

- Direction for the head to be placed while sleeping: If the head is towards the South then, with sound sleep and lesser tensions, the health improves. If the head is towards the East, then improvement in knowledge. If the head is towards the West, then ill health. If the head is towards the North, then bad dreams, ill health and disturbed sleep.
- Place the cupboard in the bedroom at South, West or Southwest(nairuthi).
- Place the Bed at Southwest (nairuthi) leaving some place at south,west and southwest corners as shown at the above picture, the next best place is place the bed at south, the third best place is west side. If the bed is placed at east side then illhealth observes, misunderstandings, male candidate has to face unnecessary words from his wife or with others., if the bed is placed at Agneya corner (southeast) tentious life experience., if the bed is placed at north then financial problems, illhealth, misunderstanding between family members, doubtful nature., if the bed is placed at vayavya (northwest) corner.
- The bedrooms of the head of the family should be in the south-west corner of the west side. If there are more than one floor, the head of the family should have a bed room on the upper storey in the south-west corner of the west direction. This room is also good for adult married children. But under no condition it should be a bedroom of the younger children. There are clashes and unnecessary quarrels in the house. A bedroom in the south direction can also be tolerated.
- Avoid placing the divine idols in the bedroom., and also devine photo frames.
- As a part of Vastu guidelines for bedroom, if you want to have a bookshelf in your bedroom, then west or southwest corner is apt for this purpose.

| |
Compound wall is the most important subject in the vastu. Someone have got wrong opinion or ideas that if the compound wall is made before the construction of house it will cause inconvenience or difficulty for construction work and may bring the situation for the sale of the plot. Its wrong idea, we have to construct the compound wall before constructing the house. It’s always right thing
- Every House should have compound wall. If it is not possible to construct the compound wall then atleast fencing or paling should be there.
- The proper directions for gates are southern south east, south, west, western northwest, north, northern north east, eastrern east.
- Compound wall gates should not be placed at eastern south east side, southern south west side, western southwest side, northern northwest directions.
- The gate if fixed opposite the east facing entrance it becomes exiguous, so keeping the gate as it is another gate has to be erected in the elevated norh east.Then there is no wrong. If not, one gate only can set up in the elevated eastern north east. Not opposite the house. Then north east passage will be there.
- Compound wall should be lower in height than the main entrance of east or north facing houses.
- For houses with south or west facing entrances, compound wall can be less or more in height than the main entrance.
- Some times compound walls collapse in the corners. If such an eventuality occurs in west, southern south west, eastern south east and northern north west reconstruction should be taken up immediately.
- Any entrance facing any direction may see the compound wall gate. But the angle pillar should not face the centre of the door.

- Steps should always come into Agneya side or Vayavya sides, if so it will balace the vastu.
- There is no count for steps. You can place any as per your requirement and convenience.
Internal staircase has to be provided, for example then the room in the north east and north west should be left out.
