         Vaastu Sastra Principles

Vaastu properties of the 8 magnetic directions

The social aspects represented by different directions in Vaastu and the social effects influencing the quality and standards of living of the owner or the dweller caused by resultant bioelectric magnetic energy, are summarized below:

1. North:- (whose presiding diety is Kubera, Lord of Wealth) represents the maternal side (As theNorth-South Axis represents female axis). If the North is not kept vacant, the house will become a desert due to female mortality and may remain without female members. Also when the vacant space in the North is covered completely, finances and cash flow will be effected. North, should always be lower and lighter than South.

2. Northeast:- (reffered to as the Eeshanya direction, whose presiding diety is Eshwara or Eesha) controls continuity of lineage, good health, wealth and popularity. In case the Northeast is cut off, there will be innumerable problems in every sphere of life, including absence of male progeny.
Northeast should be the lowest in level and should be lighter than all other directions.

3. East:- (whose presiding diety is Indira) represents the paternal side (as the East-west Axis represents male axis). The East controls good health, success and longevity. If the vacant space in the East is covered completely, the house could become deserted or an ownerless property and also the head of the family will have problems. East should be lower and lighter than West.

4. Southeast:- (usually referred to as Agneya whose presiding diety is Agni, Lord of Fire) controls mainly health and also prosperity.
Southeast levels should be higher than Northwest and Northeast but should be lower than Southwest.

5. South:- (whose presiding diety is Yama, Lord of Death) controls tyranquility and prosperity. South should be higher and heavier than North.

6. Southwest:- (usually referred to as Nairuthya) is responsible for behaviour and attitude. It controls habits. It should also be ensured that the Southwest corner angle should be maintained at an exact right angle, and 90 degrees, for proper attitude and behaviour.
Southwest should be highest and heaviest.

7. West:- (whose presiding diety is Varuna, Lord of Rain) is responsible for progress, fame and elevation in life.
West should be higher and heavier than East.

8. Northwest:- (usually referred to as Vayuvya, whose presiding diety is Vayu, Lord of Wind) governs relationship, cordiality and hostility.
Northwest should be higher than Northeast but lower than Southeast and Southwest.
The Brahma Sthana (central portion of the plot) should be kept preferably vacant and care should be taken that column or pillar is occupying that area. Also in Vaastu, while constructing a building in a plot, more open space should be left in the Northern and the Eastern directions so that the Centre of Gravity of the building lies in the Southwest quadrant of the plot.
