Vaastu – For a New House
According to our ancient beliefs, Vaastu Shastra plays a very important role in converting a new house into a perfect home. It is believed that wrong Vaastu may hamper the growth and happiness of the inhabitants of a house whereas, the correct usage of Vaastu helps us in flourishing in our lives by providing us with health, wealth, peace, and happiness. There are a number of things to be considered to make a house perfect according to Vaastu Shastra. The Vaastu Shastra provides us with ample knowledge on the placement of things in correct directions.
Let us discuss few of those essentials in Vaastu Shastra that would help in designing your perfect abode.
Staircase: Try to design the staircase of your house on the South or South-west direction. The stairs in the stair case should lead from north to south or from east to west. Always try to maintain odd numbers of stairs in a stair case as it would help you step into your house with your right foot, provided you start climbing with your right foot. This is believed to bring positive energy to your house.
Entrance: The size of the entrance door should be larger than the other doors in the house. The door should be designed in an attractive manner so that it can attract positive energy to the house. The door must open inwards rather than opening outwards as it will help in restoring good energy inside of the house. If there are steps to the entrance, the step number should be odd. You can fix good images above the entrance and you must put Swastika symbols on both the sides of the entrance.
Bedroom: The bedrooms of the house must be located on the South-west corner of the house. The ceiling of the room must be uniform as it would help in uniformity of positive energy throughout the room.
Kitchen: The kitchen should be located in the South-east corner of the building.
Drawing room: If the drawing room is designed to the North of the house, it brings better results as far as good luck is considered. The drawing room should be larger in size as compared to the other rooms of the house. The furniture in the drawing room must be rectangular or square in size.
Study room: if you have kids at home, it is better to have a separate study room as it would help them better concentrate on their studies. The rooms located in the North, East, North-east, north-west are good choices to be converted into study rooms.
Prayer room: The prayer room brings joy to your house if situated in the North-east direction of your house. If you are planning to have deities in your prayer room, make sure that the faces of the deities do not face towards South.
Store room: If you really want a store room in your house, you can take a room in the southern part of your house. Refrain yourself from storing things in diwans or box beds to avoid sleeping disorder that can happen to you as a result of the magnetic effect of these.
Bath room: The bathrooms of a house need to be in the North-east corner of a house.
As per Vaastu, there should be enough space to the North and East directions of your plot where you are planning to build your house. The plot must e square or rectangle in shape. If the plot has roads on all its four sides, it will be excellent for your growth and prosperity.
