The surroundings
of the house is
what determines
the kind and
quantum of
energy that the
plot would
receive.
It is just like a
breeze passing
through a scented
garden before
reaching you.
What if it is a
garbage dump or
ditch?
If the neighbourhood
is already built up,
look out for symptoms
in you neighbours.
Are they prosperous,
do a lot of children
play in the roads, is
the area bright and
smelling good? Are
people busy?
PHYSICAL FEATURES
Natural features of an area influence a
house and its inhabitants. Physical
features can easily be classified by the law
of weights.
HILLS
Hills should not be
very close to the plot.
Rocks are not good
energetically for
people and hilly areas
have a lot of rocks in
the vicinity.
WATER BODIES
Rivers and streams flow
from higher levels to
lower level. Thus they
serve as indicators of the
levels of a place.
Also as all the rainwater
in the vicinity flows
towards a water body, all
land slopes towards the
river too.
TREES
Trees are heavy
objects and are
preferred along the
south and west
boundaries. A tree in
the exterior which
blocks the northeast
could cause
hindrance to the
inmates.
LIGHT
The light falling inside
the plot is highly
controlled by tall
objects in the vicinity.
Tall trees outside the
plot may cast
shadows within. So
may buildings of
neighbours.
NEIGHBOURHOOD.
The neighbourhood consists of man made
structures. Even plot size and shapes are
controlled by roads that man charts out.
The effect of the elements of the
neighbourhood can be decided by two
things- Location and utility.
A meat shop, a
butcher or an abattoir
next to the house or
proximal in the
distance is bad.
Death and dying
energies are bad in
the vicinity
A gambling den or a
horse race centre
very near the house is
bad. They add
instability to financial
matters.
Graveyards and
crematoria in the
vicinity of the home
are bad. Mental
imbalance is the
result.
Keep away
from public
places
roads
ROADS
Any pathway which is used for
common usage is termed a
road. The road is one
important feature that
determines the Vastu power of
a plot.
Roads and streets serve as
conduits for energy to the plot.
They also determine in which
way the plots and houses are
oriented.
The nature of the road is an
important factor in determining
the stability of a plot
height
A road should not be
higher than the plot or
building floor. Energy
moves above the level of
the plot if traffic moves at
a higher level than the
floor. Hence the place
would be energy starved.
If your driveway or path
from the gate is sloping
downwards you will know
that the road is higher.
Number of roads
There could be upto
four roads for a plot
Amongst the single
road plots those
facing north and east
are excellent.
2 roads
Amongst the two road
plots which normally
occur in corners the plot
with the combination of
north and east roads is
the best. But care has to
be taken that the corner
of the plot is intact.
The full benefits of these
better plots is possible
only when coupled with
good design of building.
3 roads
In three road plots the
entrance should be
kept only in the
middle road,
regardless of any
direction
4roads
Four road plots are
great, but offer best
results only if it is
used for public
purposes
gradient
The higher end of the
gradient is considered
heavier and the lower
end as lighter.
Hence using the
weight principle a
slope towards the
north or east is good
for the plots.
width
If the roads are wider it is better for the
plots on it. Wider roads offer a smoother
flow of energy. Narrow roads encourage
crime.
GOOD SPEARS
To be a beneficial
spear
A spear on the northern
side should strike the
north east
A spear on the eastern
side should strike the
north east
A spear on the southern
side should strike the
south east
A spear on the western
side should strike the
north west
BAD SPEARS
To be a harmful
spear
A spear on the northern
side should strike the
north west
A spear on the eastern
side should strike the
south east
A spear on the southern
side should strike the
south west
A spear on the western
side should strike the
south west
The plot
THE PLOT
The plot is the land on
which we build the
building. It is the base
for the constructed
structure and would
definitely influence
the activities in the
building.
Just as in agriculture
the plot has to nurture
lives in a home too.
An angular growth is
slightly tougher to
identify.
If opposite sides of
the rectangular plot
do not have equal
lengths then the plot
would have grown
angularly
Open space is
considered light and
so an angular
extention in the north
east is welcome.
an extention on any
the other side is bad.
THE SOIL
The soil is an indicator of the energies
prevailing in a plot. So true is the fact that
the ancient texts even classified soil as
living and dead.
COMPOUND WALLS
Compound walls determine the shape of
the plot. Walls also ensure that energies
do not leak from the inhabited area.
It is often believed that a plot gains
strength only after the perimeter walls
have been constructed.
So eastern compound
should be thinner and
shorter than the
western compound
The northern
compound should be
thinner and shorter
than the southern
compound.
Compound walls
should not be
truncated or curved in
the northeast and
southwest corners.
GATE
The gate is the entry
point for humans and
energy from the road into
the plot. Gates should not
be too high or heavy
Do not have more than
three gates in a side as
one of them would
definitely open up in a
negative place.
The gate should open
inside the plot only. Gates
opening outside serve as
a drain of energy.
Sliding gates are okay
but not as good as swing
gates. The gate should
move towards west or
south.
SPACE
It is best if you can go
around the house
unhindered by
buildings
WATER BODIES
Water accumulates in
depressions and
lower areas. The
north and east should
be depressed for best
Vastu effects. If water
stagnates there it is
beneficial and water
is just the indicator for
floor level.
THE GARDEN
THE GARDEN
The garden is a
different from other
parts of the home for
two reasons. It is alive
and it is growing.
A garden is pleasing
to the eye and
psychologically
serves as a feel good
factor.
WEIGHTS
The tree is heavy and
the grass is light.
Shrubs and herbs
weigh in between.
.
NATURE OF
PLANTS
Avoid spiny plants in
the garden as they
cause anger and
frustration.
Do not have plants
that yield a milky latex
when broken.
MAINTENANCE
If you cant maintain it,
dont have a garden. It
could do more harm than
good.
Whereas a well
maintained garden
replenishes the energy
that inmates use up. A
badly kept garden sucks
up the residual energy of
the house too.
However, do not
change the natural
shape of plants.
Topiary may look
good but every plant
has a shape suited to
the energies
prevailing around it.
Changing it would
alter the flow.
OTHER RULES
No trees should be
touching the main
house. Trees to be
well away from
constructed areas.
.
Trees should be
equally spaced and
even in number. Then
it would be ensured
that weight would
approximately
increase at the same
rate in all areas
