Get the combined benefits of Feng Shui – Vastu!
Vastu is a living organism. Vastu books of Hinduism explain the secrets about the health of a construction or a building. Site preparation, start of construction, building layout, arrangement of rooms in the building, kitchen, worship room, bedroom, living room, walking space in rooms, terraces, the doors and windows, the woodwork, the well, the enclosure around the building, the baths are very important and one must learn the art of Vastu and build the building according to the rules and guidance given by the sages to obtain the maximum benefits.
Each direction of the building is governed by the planet. Each direction gives certain specific benefits.
Similarly, Feng Shui, which originated in China 4,000 years ago, ensures better health, better sleep, a harmonious family relationship, longevity, active sexual life, wealth, and fame.
‘Chi’ is the subtle flow of electromagnetic energy that unites all things in the universe. Buildings alter the flow of energy. The interior design and decoration of a building should enhance the type of chi energy in order for the occupants to enjoy the maximum benefits.
Whoever follows Feng Shui will maximize his benefits.
Although hundreds of complicated rules are ugly, the basic rules, if followed correctly, ensure a smooth life.
Vastu and Feng Shui accept the fundamental principles.
Some of the important rules are given below.
The Brahma Sthala or the central point of the building is very important. It must be kept clean.
Chanakya in his ‘Arthasastra’ states that in the middle of the king’s fort the temples of Siva, Vaisravana, the Asvins, Lakshmi and Madira (all Hindu deities) would be built.
Similarly, in all houses and commercial places, the central place should be empty and kept clean.
It is preferable that the building is oriented to the East or Northeast.
The building should never face southeast.
The bedroom should be in the southwest.
The kitchen should preferably be in the southeast corner of the building.
The worship hall should be in a northeast direction.
The well should be provided in the northeast direction of the plot.
