Brief View

 

If the nature of your work is research or study, then the best area to work in is the North zone. General administration services connected to the business are best positioned in the west or south of the building, on either side of the managing director’s office. The desks should be positioned facing East or North or West. North is also the ideal place for the Accounts Department. Underground safes for valuables should also be kept in the North for added security, Facing the North is also good for spiritual development and accumulative knowledge.

Regarding offices of professional services who entertain frequent visitors, the meeting room should be located near the door in the South. Book shelves or closets can also be along the South walls.

The ancient Vaastu science gives great importance to the direction you are facing when working. If you face East, you will have peaceful and noble thoughts. Ideally, the entrance to the office can be in the East zone. The working desks need to be positioned in the South or West of the room, allowing one to face the East or West or North.

Facing the West is good for learning and play. offices with lots of external footfall can place their door in the West. Administration services are best positioned in the West plus book-shelves or closets can also be along the West walls.

Businesses involved in manufacturing medicine will need a strong North-East aspect to charge medicines with natural prana, which will make them more potent.

Businesses related to women will flourish with a strong south-east influence because Agni resides in the south-east and is known to protect the health of women. Facing the south-east, however, induces drowsiness and sleep.

For offices of professionals like doctors, advocates and engineers, the office main door can be located in the Northwest zone. If one sits facing the North West, it incites thoughts of travel and restlessness.

For business, the ideal location is the Southwest area. It is preferable if the designated room for conducting business is located at a considerable distance from the main entrance, so that there are fewer disturbances. Since the Managing Director of a company equates with the head of a household, the same Vaastu principles apply in this case. The Managing Director’s office should be one of the largest rooms, and preferably situated in the south-west corner of the building.

Vaastu tips for your home's main entrance

Avoid a property which has a door facing South West as it is the entry of the devil energy and brings in struggles and misfortunes. If your house already has a door facing South West, fix 2 Hanumanji's tiles ( with the Gada in his left hand) outside the door & see the difference. Certain gems like Yellow Sapphire, Earth Crystals, Lead with the Expert's advice can also further reduce the severity of this defect. But it is always better to avoid such properties.

9 Vaastu Tips for Buying The Right Home

1. While purchasing a plot, it is advised by the Vastu Shastris, that any roads that might be running on the north and the east side of your plot, should be lower than the corresponding site levels. It is also good if a road runs alongside the plot and ends at the northeast corner.
2. Do not negotiate for a flat that looks gloomy and has a sad ambiance to it. You should go ahead with only those flats that give you a positive, lively and happy feeling on entering it. Only such a flat is worth investing in.
3. While house hunting for yourself, make sure that you do not purchase a flat that is located opposite to crossroads. Avoid all lands opposite to a T or Y intersections. This is considered highly inauspicious by the Vastu Shastris.
4. You should avoid purchasing any flat that might be at the turning-point on a road. Vastu Shastris advise you to immediately start looking for a new location, if you come across such a site.
5. It is best if you purchase a flat or a plot where happy and successful people have lived. Investigate your plot for drought cracks and hard rocks. Avoid such plots. It is best not to purchase any land that is next to a bridge.
6. It is considered profitable to purchase additional land that might be adjoining the present land and that is on the north, northwest, and east sides of the present land. Avoid purchasing any land on the south or west sides of your house.
7. The plots with their southeast parts high may bring in wealth to its residents. Likewise, a plot with a southeast slope will lead to a loss of wealth and the plots with their south side higher than the rest of the sides will ensure good health to its residents.
8. If your plot or house is close to a temple of the Lord Shiva, Shakti or Vishnu, there are chances of facing some monetary losses. Likewise, if your house is facing the southwest, if there is an elder member of your family living in the northeast portion of the house or if there is a tall tree in the northeastern side of the house, which is blocking the light of the rising sun from reaching your house then, there are chances of some monetary losses in your house.
9. Avoid any plot that might be at the dead-end of a corridor. Such plots keep on accumulating the highly negative energy, which shoots down the lane at all the time. This then manifests negatively in the form of chronic illness of its occupants and the owner.
