** Direct your Success

Maximise use of the north direction. Face the north when working. You will be blessed by 'Kuber', the god of wealth. Eating and drinking when facing the north energises you. For good health, point your feet to the north while sleeping. Never block the north. Place a looking glass on the north wall to enhance its effects.


Decorate the north east corner, illuminate it and keep fresh flowers there. The presence of water strengthens the north east; put in a fountain for prosperity. Don’t place large furniture or storage units.


Try to block the west. Avoid openings like doors and windows; they drain away your money and efforts.



** Out with Negative Energies

Light pure sandalwood incense to cleanse the atmosphere. Or put some sea salt in the water used for mopping the floor.



** Create Strong Energies

Create a strong energy environment around you. Good lighting, de cluttering, maintaining cleanliness and using soothing colours in combination with sharp colours are some steps to achieve this.



** No Obstruction

Let energy flow freely in front of you. Never work on a table pushed up against a wall. This obstructs energy flow towards you. Making a big bookshelf on the table also hampers energy flow.



** Use of Fingers

Hands and fingers carry all the energy of our bodies. All the five elements are available on our fingers. One should not rotate or use one’s fingers without reason. Some people clap tables or their bodies, which is inauspicious. Such actions drain the body of energy.



** Postures of the Body

Sitting with crossed arms and legs blocks positive energy from coming into your life. These postures reflect a negative attitude towards life. One should always sit upright and erect. This is a smart posture. It helps in the free flow of energy from the base of the spine to all parts of the body.

Replying to [narsingh]:
*You should remove disturbance from TV and telephone etc. if any, in your room.
*Keep minimum things in the bedroom.
*Keep your head towards the South and legs towards the North while sleeping.
*The other preferred thing is to learn the art of healthy living .

Replying to [KILOIA]:
Keep ( all ) your cash in an 'Almirah' (Cupboard), which is located in the south and opens towards the north because the north is direction of Kuber (God of Wealth) who represents wealth.

' Belief '
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hello Mr. Dhar. I thank you for your kind concern. Yes, somewhat busy as you said.

I believe "Vaastu" is a highly scientific knowledge as any other science. Basic approach of this science, as I feel, is to try to make an individual's wave length ( based on his/her horoscope) in harmony with the wave length of the energy-flow of the earth to have better, prosperous and mentally peaceful life.


It seems you have a good knowlege of Vaastu, When should I come to see you to learn more in this reagrd?

Replying to [curdrice]: Did you read about Feng Shui . Its a chinese version of Vastu. Very realistic and logical in approach.

Comparison of Vastu Shastra & Feng-Shui

Vastushastra & Feng-Shui:- It is imperative that two of the well-known Eastern design methods-Feng-Shui (China) and Vastushastra (India) are understood in a proper perspective, as both these disciplines in their own ways define the relationship between man and the cosmos.

In Chinese language Feng means wind & Shui means water, implying thereby that the technique involves balancing of the cosmic element water & the cosmic quality “wind” in a system to achieve harmony with the cosmic forces.


Vaastushastra has clear-cut definitions- Vastu means abode or a house & shastra means science or technology, i.e. it is the scientific method of house construction. Vastushastra considers a house to be a living soul, having prana.

Fengshui scripts denote water, fire, wood, gold and earth as the basic five elements forming the entire universe with ‘wind’ as the special quality attainable by these elements.

Vastushastra scriptures stress that every living and non-living entity, for that matter the entire world, is created out of the Panch-Maha-Bhutas - earth, water, fire, wind & ether. “Ether” is considered the most important element in this system, as every possible transformation from one element to the other has to be routed through Akashtatva only.
Vastushastra has its own system of Vastu-Chakras, which is used in conjunction with Astrology; Astronomy & Yogashastra for site-selection & a magnetic compass decides the directional aspect. Interestingly, both the systems insist on N.S. orientation for a structure.

Feng-Shui considers a land having reddish or yellowish soil as a good geomantic land.

Vastushastra considers a land with white & yellow coloured soil for house construction. Red coloured soil is tolerated in Vastushastra, but a site with black soil is prescribed for construction purposes, as such lands are prone to water-logging problems- a kind of environmental pollution.

Feng-Shui insists that a body of water should flow in front of the main ent rance of the house. There is no preferred direction of water flow as Feng-shui allows positioning of the main entrance in any directions, depending on the birth year of the owner of the house.
Vastushastra on the other hand considers water flow in the direction N.E. to the Vastu as a beneficial factor with lunar-shaped (Chandrakar) N.E. directional flow as a pointer to frame & prosperity.

A major discrepancy in both these disciplines pertains to the direction of ventilator openings.

Feng-shui considers N. as evil & prefers S. direction for window openings. In contrast Vastushastra dictates the position of windows should be in the N.E.or N.E. directions only.

Feng-Shui attempts to offer the households protection against yellow dust and sand which the chinese mainland receives from the deserts situated on the N. border of that country.

Vastushastra follows scientific logic in selection of the window directions, in the sense that it considers the beneficial effects of early morning sunlight.


Location & design of rooms in Feng-Shui are based on the traditional Le-Shu grid of nine squares which assigns different directions.


In Vastushastra the location of rooms are designated in the Vastu Purush Mandal, consisting of nine squares as influenced by the journey of the sun in its various phases.

Quoting from [adseaco]:

Remember to tag along Mr. Braham--His visit too is over due.

I would rather like to invite you at our place in Dehradun to correct the Vastu Dosh of our building.

Replying to [Braham S Aggarwal]: Can I also visit you in Dehradun though I am not a vaastu expert.

I have read in books in my childhood that Dehradun is a a very beautiful place with beautiful people. Now having interacted with your valuable and nice postings and having seen your affection on this forum for everyone and your selfless service for all irrespective of their nationality, I can say that books were right so far as people of Dehradun are concerned.Now I have to see if place is equally good and nice.

Replying to [adseaco]: I thank you very much. I am overwhelmed by your hospitality.
