Buying a home is a significant milestone for most people. It’s a culmination of years of hard work and planning, and it represents the achievement of a long-term goal. Vastu Shastra can be a helpful tool to ensure that your new home is a place of peace, prosperity, and happiness.
What is Vastu Shastra?
Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian system of architecture that emphasizes the principles of design, layout, and energy flow. It is believed that following Vastu principles can create a home that is harmonious with its surroundings and promotes the well-being of its occupants.
5 Vastu Checkpoints Before Buying a Home
Here are five key Vastu checkpoints to consider before buying a home, as recommended by Vastu Expert Nageshji from Vasu Vastu:
North-East Direction: The North-East direction, also known as the Ishaan Kon, is the most important direction in Vastu. It is the source of positive energy in the home and should be kept clean, neat, and vibrant. Avoid having a toilet, kitchen, store, septic tank, or any other low-energy activity in the North-East direction. Vastu Nageshji from Vasu Vastu emphasizes that if the North-East direction is already compromised, there may be limited Vastu treatments that can be done to fully rectify the situation. It’s best to avoid such properties altogether.
Placement of Kitchen: The kitchen is the heart of the home, and its placement is important according to Vastu. The ideal direction for the kitchen is between the South-East and South. This is the direction of the fire element, and having the kitchen here helps to balance the fire element in the home.
Entrance (Main Door/Gate): The entrance is the mouth of the property. Just like our body takes in energy through our mouth, the entrance of the property takes in energy from the surrounding environment. The ideal direction for the main door is between the South-East and South. Avoid having an entrance or main door in the South-West direction.
Low Energy and Productive Areas: Vastu Shastra emphasizes the importance of balancing energy levels in the home. Low-energy areas, such as toilets and disposal zones, should be placed strategically. Bedrooms, home offices, and study areas should be located in areas with positive energy flow.
Proximity to Nature: Vastu Shastra encourages bringing the natural world into the home. Look for a property that has plenty of natural light and ventilation. Properties with greenery, gardens, parks, lakes, or other natural landscapes nearby are considered to have more positive Vastu vibes.
Vastu Shastra is not a rigid set of rules. It is a set of principles that can be used to create a home that is harmonious, healthy, and prosperous. By considering these five Vastu checkpoints before buying a home, you can increase your chances of finding a home that is a good fit for you and your family.
It is important to consult with a qualified Vastu expert before making any major changes to your home. Vastu corrections can often be made without the need for reconstruction or demolition.
