Mahavastu for home

Continuous flow of different kinds of energies in the universe always exists. These energies also flow through your living space, your home, which is in fact a scaled down replica of the universe itself. All aspects of your life – love, relationship, health, fun, vigour, etc. are controlled by these energies. However, the exact influence of these energies on your life is determined by the direction from which these are flowing into your space, namely the space you inhabit. This space may be your home, office, shop, factory and so on.

MahaVastu™ is a 4-Step Method to know the influence of your building (living or work place) on you and your life. These influences can be positive or negative and are, accordingly, responsible for your success or failure. The concept has been distilled from 10,000 successful research-based case studies done by VastuShastri Khushdeep Bansal.

MahaVastu™ Method also provides 16 Techniques to get Solutions without going in for demolitions or structural changes in the building. It is a purer, simpler yet more powerful system for understanding the influences of a building on human behaviour. It ensures Happiness, Gains, and Success in life while maintaining modern life style and contemporary architecture.

1.       Effect of 32 Entrances: MahaVastu™ suggests 32 Entrance Locations possible in a house. Each of these Entrance Locations has an independent effect on the lives of the residents - some of these act favourably while others do not.

2.       Power of 16 MahaVastu™ Zones: MahaVastu™ divides your Space in 16 parts termed as 16 MahaVastu™ Zones, each of which governs certain aspects of your life, e.g., North Zone governs Career, Opportunities and Money.

3.       Influence of Five Elements: The entire Universe, whether it is stars, planets, moons, or any form of life, is made up of these five elements. Even the buildings are a manifestation of these five elements only.

4.       MahaVastu™ Programming: The placing of objects such as paintings, photographs, sculptures, household objects, is minutely observed in MahaVastu™ to program/de-program/re-program your Space to generate a particular effect.

Once you have diagnosed the root cause of a problem accurately using the 4-Step Procedure mentioned above, then its management is equally simple. There are more than 16 easy-to-apply Techniques in MahaVastu™. By applying them, you can easily solve problems or rectify Vastu defects without having to resort to demolitions.

So you think Square Plots are ideal for making a home?

A square plots being ideal for making home is a widespread myth. Many people delay making their own home because they are in search of a square plot. In practice, we have found that square plots are found only in villages, where there is plenty of land. In well-developed and organised urban infrastructure, most plots are rectangular.

A commonly-held belief, that square plots are ideal is actually a myth. People living in perfect-square plots have never been found doing well in life. The MahaVastu team found that: ‘Any perfect space symbolises death; Imperfection causes the world to exist.’

As per Hindu mythology, the Earth is carried by the Shesh-Naag. This symbolic representation depicting the survival and evolution of life is—‘residue’ or ‘Shesh’ and ‘Naag’ meaning ‘serpent energy’. Further when we decode the symbolism, the serpent energy is found to reside inside the human body in the form of Kundalini. This pushes the residue (the seed and ovum) to create life on the planet.

Life is created out of the desire to achieve the Anandmaya Kosha. Those individuals, who took their consciousness to a different state/stage of completion, lost interest in creating a new life. So, as per Vastu Shastra, perfect square-shaped buildings are recommended only for meditation centres and religious practices, not homes and business places. So, it is always better to have rectangular plots in which to build your dream house. 

Confused about the right placement of Dressing Table in your Bed-Room?

Many people consult MahaVastu experts saying that they are confused about the location of their dressing table. They fear that having the reflection of their bed in the mirror may cause misery in relationships and sleep disorders.

The reflection of the bed in dressing table mirror does not create any negative effect by itself. It is the location of the mirror in an incompatible Zone that causes problems. The mirror as an object represents the Water element and it also serves as a medium for extension of Space.

If you place a mirror in the South-East direction then it is like mixing water with fire, as South-East is the Zone of Fire. As water destroys fire, so it will cause negative effects of an extended South-East Zone. It could cause accidents and injuries to the inhabitants.

A dressing table in the South-South-West (SSW) Zone gives an extension to the Zone of Disposal. So, it increases wastage and leads to loss of fertility for the people sleeping in those bedrooms.

The Zone responsible for causing problems in relationships is the South-West (SW) Zone of the home. If a mirror is placed in the South-West Zone, then due to its extension effects, problems arise. The couple expect too much from each other. So care has to be taken while placing the mirror in any direction.

Are you planning to construct a Basement in your house?

Many people are confused while constructing the basements in their new homes. Often, people with incomplete knowledge of Vastu say that basements are always inauspicious in a home, which, in fact, is not true.

To answer the question: whether to have a basement in your house or not; Vastushastri Khushdeep Bansal analysed hundreds of case studies of the Victorian houses in London, which had massive basements. He observed that most of these Victorian homes were actually the most expensive properties in England. He, therefore, wondered whether basements are actually inauspicious at all! If they were, these properties would not be so expensive or exclusive.

He collected a lot of data on these properties and studied the effects on the inhabitants of those houses. What he found is quite interesting. The people who lived in those Victorian houses were responsible for making the British rulers of the world! So, one thing was clear to Khushdeep, that basements do not create negative effects.

Then, he collected data on successful offices and homes that are located in basements which resulted in the MahaVastu Sutra that ‘if basements are made in South-facing and West-facing plots they always create highly positive effects for the occupants’ of such buildings. Basements can be made in the North and East regions of North and East-facing plots, respectively. Further, he concluded that whether basements are auspicious or not, is decided by the location of its entrance and situation of the staircase leading to it.

Have you allocated a room in North-West direction to your Marriageable Child just because you consider this direction is responsible for fast movements?

The North-West Zone is the Zone of support and banking. However, it is foolish to think that goods placed here will see faster commercial movement, or that young unmarried girl sleeping in this Zone will get marriage proposals instantly.

MahaVastu experts visited the homes of people who claimed that the NW Zone proved lucky for them. What they observed was that the girl sleeping in the NW zone hoping to find a suitable match were actually sleeping in the Zone of sex and attraction, that is, the North-North-West (NNW). Due to the effects of this Zone, the girls though did materialise their dreams marriage, but soon after, started facing problems due to lack of understanding and care from their spouses.

As per MahaVastu, a girl ready for marriage should sleep in the South (S), South-South-East (SSE), South-West (SW) or in the West-South-West (WSW) Zone. Sleeping in the South (S) direction will keep her cool, calm and relaxed. Sleeping in the South-South- East (SSE), will make her more self-confident and healthy. A girl’s bedroom in the South-West (SW) Zone will make her more skilled in her work, and in managing relationships with her spouse. If she sleeps in West-South-West (WSW), then she will gain more knowledge and excel in education. The qualities of these Zones will help her to find a suitable match, and they will be healthy and skilled, and enjoy marital bliss in their married lives. After marriage, newly married couples can sleep in the North-North-West (NNW) Zone. However, girls of marriageable age should avoid sleeping in North-West (NW) Zone, because their reproductive capacity could be harmed.

Have you placed your Toilet in the North direction of you home just because you consider it a Water Element?

Without having proper knowledge of Vastu, one cannot decide the correct direction for his various activities in a particular Space. Many Vastu consultants who do not understand Vastu correctly argue that a toilet represents a Water element and hence should be placed in the North direction. Even worse, many of the so-called Vastu advisors say that Vastu Purusha is a demon who has his head in the North-East (NE) direction, so the toilet should be placed in the North-East. MahaVastu experts have visited and corrected this fault in hundreds of such places because a toilet in the North (N) direction was blocking receipt of payments and new opportunities. A toilet placed in North-East (NE) infact causes neurological problems and even cancer. Doing so hinders the evolution of the mind and gives way to chronic diseases and acute depression. In totality, it also hampers growth and vision.

The fact is that a toilet represents the act of Disposal. Therefore, the ideal place for a toilet is the Zone of Disposal. If placed in the Zone of Money and Opportunities (North), it will flush out these aspects from your life.  It can also be placed in the West-North-West (WNW), which is the Zone of depression and low moods. Here, these negative aspects get flushed out from life.

Do you really ignore West or South directions for your entrance?

Many people give up West and South-facing plots because they are mostly considered inauspicious. The surprising fact is that 80 per cent of most successful businessmen and political leaders occupy West or South-facing properties. This disproves the fact that the main entrances in the West or South Zones are inauspicious.

MahaVastu relies on practical observation and case studies whose results are distilled to get a crystal- clear understanding. It was established by over 2000 documented case studies that the direction towards which a building facing, has no impact. What’s important is the exact location of the entrance of a building, which should be planned after adhering to the directives of the ‘Second Pillar of MahaVastu’.

Today, we live in a modern and materialistic world where knowledge, skill, expertise, fame and brand-value are responsible for attracting money.

Attributes like knowledge, skill and expertise are the attributes of the West direction. Fame, recognition and power are attributes of the South direction. So the activities related with these areas of life must be conducted in West and South-facing buildings only.

If you observe famous restaurants and food shops, you will notice that almost all of them must be facing the west. Most of the technological companies and skill-imparting institutions are West-facing. One must know the domain in which he desirs to grow and excel. Then he should check the appropriate zone(out of 16 Zones)which is most conductive to his area of work. Accordingly, for his activities, he must decide the direction that will suit him the best.
