Q: Hey I am looking for Vastu Tips for Kitchen. Kindly tell me which direction would be perfect ?
My replies to this discussion
Hey Srinivas, according to Vaastu, the kitchen must be in the Agneya or South-west corner of the house. If you do not have space in the South-west corner of your house, you can plan the kitchen in the Vayavya or North-west corner of your house. You need to design your kitchen in such a way that the door of the kitchen must be in the north, east, or North-east direction of the kitchen room. You should ensure that the person cooking must face east. If the person faces in other directions, it may bring bad luck to the house and people staying in the house may fall sick or go through severe financial crisis.Hey Srinivas, according to Vaastu, the kitchen must be in the Agneya or South-west corner of the house.

Q: Which direction to place fish tank..is a fighter fish good fish to keep in house ?

My replies to this discussion
@Amarnath: Fish tanks are really beneficial and they enhance prosperity provided they are kept at the right place. Living/Drawing room is an ideal place and preferably they should be kept adjacent to or next to the North Wall. Remember not to get it fitted within the wall itself else it will somehow limit the growth and one may also feel stressed and anxiety prone most of the time. You should keep it may be at a palm's distance away from the wall. Yes Guppies are good. but like I said the total number of fishes in the tank should be even.@Amarnath: Fish tanks are really beneficial and they enhance prosperity provided they are kept at the right place.

Q: Why door facing should not be towards south ?
My replies to this discussion
@Anandraj Iyengar: This is actually a myth that South facing doors aren't lucky or have ill effects. The people staying in North/East/west directions may also have health problems or accidents or some other mishaps. The directions as per Fengshui are calculated with reference to your Kua Number. It is not necessary a north facing house will suit everyone. That goes clearer with two kids in the house staying in north facing house - both cannot be toppers in the class; but by far it is seen that the north facing houses have comparatively lesser problems than south facing but i would re-iterate it is absolute no principle.@Anandraj Iyengar: This is actually a myth that South facing doors aren't lucky or have ill effects.

Q: What business flourishes if house entry is in NE ?
My replies to this discussion
@Ram: It is a very wide question about which business can flourish if the house is in NE.. it depends whether you are doing something in house as in you are a small entrepreneur working from the house or you are a business tycoon with a house in NE. for a business to flourish, we would see the entrance of its location. the entrance of the house actually implies on your overall growth.@Ram: It is a very wide question about which business can flourish if the house is in NE.. it depends whether you are doing something in house as in you are a small entrepreneur working from the house or you are a business tycoon with a house in NE. for a business to flourish, we would see the entrance of its location. the entrance of the house actually implies on your overall growth.

Q: Why is it recommended to not have a triangular or circular plot?
My replies to this discussion
@Ravi: i have rarely seen triangular plots. Yes, there is something called "Gaumukh" which is like the cow's mouth - narrow from the entrance and wider as you move forward. They arent equally considered in Vastu. Whether a Gaumukha or a circular plot is not advisable since the energies are obstructed and do not have a proper place to move out. Consider the case of a local bus where just one door is there - you would not be able to sit comfortably in it coz there will be a stressed entrance for all the people trying to barge in or move out.@Ravi: i have rarely seen triangular plots.

Q: Planning to buy a 3bhk apartment. I would like to know which color would be best for drawing room and master bedroom.
My replies to this discussion
@Kiran: for master bedroom; the best shades are that of cream, lemon, light green (the pista green). For Drawing room - white, cream, peach. A wall with yellow base is also considered auspicious - so you may opt for a designer wall with a yellow base too. Besties!@Kiran: for master bedroom; the best shades are that of cream, lemon, light green (the pista green). For Drawing room - white, cream, peach.

Q: What has bathrooms got to do with Vastu ? How and why would it impact the people ?
My replies to this discussion
@Mahi Garg: Vastu is important in each and every vertical of the house. Let me explain it in the layman's language. In early days, bathroom would be a place just to take a shower and we would have toilets separate which would be away from the sleeping rooms. But these days we have one combined place to take shower as well as flush out the body waste. Now imagine if the bathroom is constructed above the kitchen?? that flush may not be entering the kitchen but the sewerage pipe somehow is near the place where we plan to cook the deliecious food. In such a case; the inmates of the house would usually be sick or have stomach disorders. Now consider an even simpler case; try sleeping with the bathroom door open in the house; your energies start hampering. Even in some cases we have seen the people with an attached bathroom in the master bedroom. if they sleep dirctly facing the bathroom door. 855 people would have some or the other health problem.@Mahi Garg: Vastu is important in each and every vertical of the house.

Q: Best direction for a small temple in an apartment?

My replies to this discussion
@Sundar: Most Vastu Saints say the mandir in the house should be in NE. Since we live in flats these days so locating a NE corner may at times become a tedious job. Make sure you do not have the Mandir in SE or South corner else you will observe that you can hardly meditate; in a few cases inmates of the house hardly have time to say hello to God :) You can place it anywhere except South, SE and of course never in the master bedroom. If you can worship while facing North, East or North East- it will be great. Incase, such a direction is not possible and you have to face WEST while worshipping - the simple remedy is to hang a small mirror on the west wall so that what you would see through it would be the east direction while praying. Cheers.@Sundar: Most Vastu Saints say the mandir in the house should be in NE. Since we live in flats these days so locating a NE corner may at times become a tedious job.

Q: I am planning to buy a fish tank for my living room. Which is best place as per vastu ?
My replies to this discussion
@Srinivas: Fish tanks are really beneficial and they enhance prosperity provided they are kept at the right place. Living/Drawing room is an ideal place and preferably they should be kept adjacent to or next to the North Wall. Remember not to get it fitted within the wall itself else it will somehow limit the growth and one may also feel stressed and anxiety prone most of the time. You should keep it may be at a palm's distance away from the wall.@Srinivas: Fish tanks are really beneficial and they enhance prosperity provided they are kept at the right place.

Q: Hi, please tell me good vastu tips for computer table at my home. Actually its a study table for my daughter
My replies to this discussion
@Uday: You can keep the computer table anywhere in the house but in case your daughter uses the same table as her study table as well; she should face the north, east or NE direction while studying. Keeping an idol of Maa Saraswati on the left hand side of the table boosts concentration. Avoid having any windows or an open door behind her back where she sits and study.
