Building plans and vastu benefits

2010-07-20T22:06:00.000-07:00

There is basically right planning and wrong planning in buildings. According to vastu some plans are good and some are wrong. We will see those examples of right and wrong building designs with diagrams.

GOOD VATU PLANS

In the above diagram of a model building the structure is located on south-west direction. On north and east there is empty space. This is a good plan according to vastu shastra.

In the above building plan the building is situated on the west and there is more empty land on the east than west. On both north and south there is equal amount of empty space. This is good for men in the house according to vastu.

In the above plan building is situated on the south and on the north there is empty space. On both west and east there is equal amount of empty space. This is good plan according to vasthu.

Wrong Building ideas

In the above example building is built on the east and the empty space on west is more than that of east. This will bring bad effects for men in the house. So in order remove the empty space you can sell that land or build a shed or something. This is the remedy according to vastu.

In the above example building is on the north and there is empty land on the south. This will affect the women in the house. The remedy is to sell the empty land on south or build structure.

In the above example building is on the north east direction. There is more space on west than east. These type of buildings will make the house without men. The remedy is to build shed on south and west sides to decrease empty space. Or sell the land.

In the above diagram the building is on the south-east (agni) direction. Since there is empty space on West and north-west you will have troubles in home and business all the time. You may encounter legal cases also. The vastu remedy is build a shed on west empty space so that the empty space on west is less than that of eastern side.

In the above example the building is on north-west direction. This is not a good design according to vastu. The empty space on south and south-east will increase expenses, financial loss, etc., Women in the house will be afffected. The remedy is to build a shed on the south to decrease the empty space. Or you can sell the empty land.

In the first part of this article we saw some examples that are forbidden by vasthu. This part will show some more examples that should be avoided while planning your building.

The above figure shows main building surrounded by compound walls. On Agni, Vaayu and esaanya positions there are rooms /structures that should be avoided according to vastu shastra.

The above figure shows that niruthi, Esanyaa and vaayu sthanas closed. Vasthu shastra forbid this type of building.

The above diagram shows Agni and Esanyaa are closed. This should be avoided.

In the above diagram of the building, main building is enclosed by compound wall. On both Vaayu, and niruthi a structure is put and both sthanas are closed. According to vastu this is not recommended.

It is a big house, bungalow in the middle. You spend hundred of thousands of money to build it. Why should you want to make harm to your house by building these unwanted structures. I am sure you are wise and you will avoid it.

Now we will see each example figure and explain why they are not good according to vastu shastra.

The above example shows three rooms in three corners of the compound walls. Clearly the niruthi, agni and vaayu are closed. This is not welcome according to vasthu shastra.

In the above example niruthi and agni are closed, this too is not a good building design.

The above example shows that Vaayu is closed by placing a room on that corner. This will result in loss of property and other problems. According to vasthu shastra this is not recommended.

Good Vastu Site House / Building

2009-12-23T05:30:00.000-08:00

Which is good vastu Site?

The construction of a building / house starts with the selection of a proper site. Generally we give preference to good accessibility to road and transport facilities, good water facility and other conveniences. We check the panchayat / corporation approval, site map, site approval, layout approval and other things. Of course, these are important legal formalities for bank loan and mortgages. To live a peaceful, healthy lives in the newly built houses we need to check whether the site is appropriate according to vastu shastra.

Good vastu sites must be in perfect square or rectangle shapes. If there are irregularities in lengths or in irregular shapes like diagonal, tetra, pentagonal shapes those sites should be rejected.

It is preferable if the north and east sides of the construction site are lowered and south, west portions are slightly heightened. The site should not belong to temples, should be positioned just opposite to temples. There should not be any suicide deaths in the site. It should not be cemetery, graveyard, churchyard and other burial grounds. It should not be nearest to river, canal and other waterway. If there is any mountain near northern and eastern side of the site that place should be avoided. According to vastu those sites that have rivers on south and western sides should be neglected.

One must use magnetic compass to properly mark the spatial directions in the construction site.

The following ratios should be kept: 1:1, 1:1.25, 1:1.5, 1:2 are the appropriate ratios for breath and length. For example if breath is 40 feet length must be 40 or 50 or 60 or 80 feet only. Other measurements are not acceptable.

• The site can be elongated only in north-east direction only.
• It is better to have mountain or tall structures on the western and southern site of the site.
• It is better to have river or other water sources in the north-eastern side of the site.
• It is better to have streets along the four sides of the site.

The site that is on the east of our site should be equal or lowered to our site and should not be higher.

The site that is on the west of our site should be higher.

The site that is on the north side of our site should be equal or lowered to our site and should not be higher.

The site that is on the west of our site should be equal to our site or higher.

If our site or part our site face the street it is called ‘Theru kuthu’. The following diagram / picture will tell which position of site facing street is good or bad.

Beneficial Street Facing:

South Agni, North Eesanya, East Esanya, West Vaayu are beneficial

Inauspicious street facing:

East Agni, South niruthi, West Niruthi And Vaayu are inauspicious.

Before starting construction of house:

Before starting construction of house / building consult with a good vastu consultant for vastu remedies for the site. Then draw plan with help of civil engineer.

1. Build a water tank or borewell first in the north-eastern corner of the site. Then only start other works. This should not be on the line connection two corners of the site.
2. Construct the house in the manner that there is more space on north and eastern side of the house and less space on the south and western sides.
3. Before building house, build compound wall on the south and western side.
4. The house walls should not be touching compound wall. There should be sufficient gap.

Empty space around the house:

There should be sufficient space around the house in order to provide sufficient air ventilation / circulation and good lighting. In these empty spaces we can plant flower trees, build sceptic tank, borewell, car shed etc. Few vasthu points to be noted are:

1. There should not any structure in the Esanya corner.
2. The empty space on north and east sides should be greater than the empty space on south and west sides.
3. North – east Eesanya should not be closed for any reason, in other word leave this space empty. According to vastu this space makes only live equal to that of Indhira and kubera.
4. Before starting construction Bhoomi pooja must be done.

According to vast East and northern areas of the site should not be loaded with weight. This is the rule laid by vastu shastra. By providing sufficient empty space on these sides this important are is freed from overweight.
