Vastu of an irregular shaped house

What is my house is not aligned to cardinal directions? What if it is irregular in shape? Can we still make it in accordance to Vastu? I have found a lot a people asking this question. What the question means is that the house, rather than facing North or South or East or West is facing the diagonal direction, North-East, South-East, North-West, South-West or facing a direction which is at an angle with the above directions. They also worry when their house is not regular in shape for example, an apartment in a multi-storied complex.

The tenets of Vastu were written with a square house in mind which is aligned to one of the four main directions. In modern age the house can be aligned to any angle and be of any shape. While kothis and bungalows these days are rectangle, apartments are of random shapes. The objective of the builder when making a residential complex is not vastu but optimum utilization of space.

The question thus arises; how to read the vastu of such houses and how to balance them?

Well, MahaVastu has a solution to this. In mahavastu we grid the house not in a 3x3 grid but in 16 angular divisions. Due to this mahavastu becomes applicable to any shape and orientation of the house. The strength of each angular division is measured and seen by the bar chart graph which we create for each floor of the house.

As per me only mahavastu has the technique to evaluate the vastu of such houses and applying vastu corrections on them.

Role of Vastu Consultant in Buying a Property

For most of us, buying a property is one of the most important milestone in life. Property can be for residential or business use and in either case a lot of important episodes which create good and bad memories happen in these property we buy. While good memories are cherished, bad memories are feared.

In the last years more and more people are realizing the importance of buying a vastu friendly property and have understood the effect of space on their lives and psyche. Whether it is a kothi or apartment which they are buying they want it to help them in achieving the purpose and goals of your life.

Here is where a qualified Vastu expert comes into play. Let me explain what role a vastu expert play in helping you choose the right property.

A good vastu expert understand that there is no such property which is 100% vastu compliant. So he focuses on identifying the properties which are not having severe vastu defects. He understands which vastu defects can be easily corrected using vastu correction techniques and which cannot be rectified. He will advise you accordingly on the most suited property.

There are certain orientations which are more suited for a particular type of profession. For example, an east facing plot will be better for politicians and those who thrive on networking.

A good vastu consultant will also be able to filter the prevalent myths and will not take them into consideration while suggesting a good property to buy. For example, those who suggest South-West or North-East to be the ideal location for toilet are doing so based on certain myths which have no relevance to Vastu. By following such advice the client may end in serious health and financial troubles.

A good vastu expert will not suggest a property on pure commercial consideration. Many experts are focused on how much remedies can be sold to the client rather than whether the property is suited for the client. In my opinion this is not a proper practice.

Most houses and apartments can be made vastu compliant by balancing the space with appropriate colors and other techniques. The importan
t part is choosing the right vastu consultant.

Vastu for excellence in XII Board Exams

In less than three months from now, students in their final year of school will both go through one of the most challenging tests of their life – the XII and X board examinations. This is the period of extreme anxiety and stress both for the students and their parents.

Can Vastu help the students to excel well in this exams. Yes.

There are five pre-requisites to great performance in studies – concentration, retention, recall, clarity of mind and good stress.

The angular area between West and South West which is termed as “West of South West” is the zone of studies as per Vastu. The North East zone provides clarity of mind, the South West zone provides improved skills and East of South East needs to be balanced to reduce anxiety. The anxiety should be enough to keep the students on their toes and at the same time it should not be such that it results into undue stress. Stand in the center of the house with a compass in hand and locate the aforesaid four directions.

Vastu Case Study || Aversion to Marriage

A friend of mine gave me a call one night. He was visiting his sister in Vadodara and an issue over there made him call me from that place.

“Manoj Sir, my nephew has suddenly got averse to marriage. He says he does not want to marry. He has become very interested in religion and visits one or the other temple and spends long hours there. 
Both my sister and brother-in-law are very worried.” He said in one breath.

“Tell me when did it start? What led to this behavior?” I wanted him to tell me in more detail.

“They are staying in this place for last 4 years ever since they constructed this bungalow.  They were already looking for suitable match for him when this change in his behavior happened about six-seven months back?”

“Was he ready for marriage before that?”

“Yes very much. He even called me a year back and told me, ‘Mama ji, start looking for a bride for me. Your nephew wants to marry.’”

“OK. Did they do any changes in the house around that time?”

“Not much they have just shifted the mandir.”

“Where is the mandir now?”

“I have not yet checked it. Will do so tomorrow after buying a compass.”

I already understood what has happened. I told, “Check if the Mandir is in South-West of their house.”

Since he had consulted me he knew how to measure the directions. Next day he reported that indeed the Mandir is in South-West of their house.

I told him to shift it towards west and his problem will be resolved. Few weeks later he informed me that the nephew is married and is off to a honeymoon.

As per MahaVastu, South West is the direction of Relationships and Skills. Placing a mandir there caused him to focus his thoughts on religious matters and be averse to relationships. In Mahavastu, we believe that every effect has a cause and without an effect there is no need to worry of the cause. Once the cause of an effect is diagnosed, it is just a matter of removing the cause to remove the effect.

Effect of North East Toilet on Business: Vastu Case Study:

This American company has its office in 4 floors of a business center in Gurgaon. The problem was that they have been struggling for the last 4 years to make inroads into Indian market. They are into general insurance and though their competitors were all clocking a double digit growth this company was able to get mere one and a half percent of Indian mark
et in four years.

Their Admin head was known to me and wanted me to help. On a non-working day he arranged for my visit and I went and measured the directions and saw where various activities were performed.

The office was a irregular shaped multi-storied building leased by this company to make it their corporate headquarters. Except for one very difficult vastu defect the building dis not have major imbalances.

The problem was the toilet block and pantry. On each floor they were in the North East zone. I concluded that this is the reason why the company is not able to succeed and increase its presence. 

On my query the Admin Head verified that they have not been able to work on a consistent strategy in the last four years. Every year, they have to change their strategy mid-way because none of the strategies they made fructified into any results.

A toilet in north-east in an office, drains clarity of mind and vision. The business owners are unable to think clearly and whatever strategy they make, is full of confusion and self-doubt. They are unable to execute the strategy more due to the flawed strategy than their execution capability.
I advised them to change their corporate office by shifting to another building.

Vastu Consultation is like a Doctor’s consultation

Imagine going to a doctor and saying, “Please check if all is well. I want to know if my body is perfect.”

Just reading this makes you laugh. Isn’t it? Or would you argue that that’s what we do when we go for annual health check-up.

True, but what happens rarely in medical consultation (there are few individuals who go for annual health check -ups), happens frequently in vastu consultation. Most people go for vastu consultation with an aim to comply with vastu rather than to solve a problem. No wonder they do not get any result but just a mental satisfaction that their home is vastu compliant.

They go for a vastu consultation because their friends or relatives have told that the house should be in accordance with vastu.

Let me tell you that there is nothing like a perfect vastu just like there is nothing like a perfect body.
What is possible is to make your home conducive to your goals or resolution of your problems. So if you have aspirations to increase your income, promotion in job, child birth, etc. or if you have problems like disharmony, frequent accidents, unknown fears, diseases, etc. then go for a vastu consultation.

A good vastu expert will suggest you ways to balance the imperfections which are responsible for your problem or are holding you from fulfilling your desires.

So just like in a doctor consultation state your problems and desires in front of a vastu consultant
