VASTU SHASTRA GUIDELINES | DESIGN OF A HOUSE

UNCATEGORIZED Add comments

There is a constant interaction between Man and the surrounding natural elements like the Sun, Wind, Air, Water, Earth’s magnetic field and the directions. Man benefits from the useful, positive effects of these Natural elements but needs to be protected from their harmful and negative effects.

Vastu Shastra lays down guidelines on the ‘design, location, direction and disposition of the Interior and Exterior spaces of a House’ so that the inmates derive maximum benefit from  the natural elements.

These guidelines are based on scientific reasoning and common sense and when applied correctly create well-lit, well-ventilated, spacious, aesthetic,  and well-designed rooms and House. A properly designed House  will naturally create ‘contentment’, ‘peace’ and ’serenity’ for the inmates and the Owner will be proud of and happy to live in it.

The Vastu Guidelines for all the Interior spaces or rooms of a House have been described here:

  • VASTU GUIDELINES | VERANDAH
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | ENTRANCE DOOR
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | LIVING ROOM
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | PUJA ROOM
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | DINING ROOM
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | KITCHEN
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | BEDROOM
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | STUDY ROOM
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | HOME OFFICE
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | TOILETS, BATHROOMS
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | BALCONIES
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | STAIRCASES

  • VASTU GUIDELINES | DOORS AND WINDOWS
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | INTERIORS OF A HOUSE
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | COLOURS FOR A HOUSE
  • VASTU GUIDELINES | CHOOSING THE RIGHT COLOURS

The Vastu Guidelines for the design of a House and it’s exterior spaces have been described here:

    Sir,
    I am studying architecture, just had a question in my mind. How does a person align
    himself with earth’s magnetic field in a building designed with principles of vedic architecture(vastu)?? or what is the relation of human body and earth’s magnetic field? please explain scientifically..

    Dear Nitin,
    First of all, I am a lady architect. You can read more about vastu and the earth’s magnetic axis in my post Vastu Shastra | Earth’s magnetic axis.
    But, to explain briefly: It is not practical to expect a person to sit or stand aligned correctly to the earth’s magnetic axis all the time. However, it is worthwhile to note that a human body like the Earth, is a magnet with the north pole at the head. So if one lies down with the head in the North direction it amounts to the two North poles repelling each other which is believed to affect the blood circulation, cause tensions and stress in a person. Therefore, one should avoid sleeping with the head in the North. Similarly, when one sits, it is preferable to sit facing North or East (useful morning sunlight) but avoid facing South, as the feet (south pole) are towards the South. If you make it a habit to follow these principles, especially when you are sitting or lying down for long periods, you can be sure to be aligned in tune with the earth’s magnetic axis.
