Now-a-days, when people want to
construct a house or other building, they devote more time for minute details
of foundation, superstructure, comforts, look, appearance etc. If VASTU shastra
is applied properly it can prove to be a boon by giving you all the amenities
and pleasures of life. VASTU can't change your fate; however it can give you
joy and pleasures of life by simply transforming your sorrowful life just by
altering the structure of your living place. VASTU benefits are immense and permanent;
they don't change with the change in advancement.VASTU does not belong to any
religion, race, caste or creed. It serves only one religion and that is
HUMANITY.
VASTU Shastra has been originated
about 8000 years ago, since then our ancient Indian sages and scholars were
practicing this art of direction which evolves the application of some basic
code of conduct while construction of any building or house. It is also known as ancient mystic science
for designing and building. This art helps in making a congenial dwelling place
which works in a scientific way in order to take the advantage of the benefits
bestowed by the nature. VASTU is a mystic science or art which has its own
power and effects. It uses few basic traditional norms of direction which can
be laid down for construction, selection, designing and for everything in this
world.
How to decorate house with VASTU Shastra?
Great importance is given for the
decoration of the house with the paintings, idols especially the main door
decoration. The main door was considered very important in ancient days and
even today as the people used to think that all the prosperity and money comes
from the main door.
The
objects of the main door are: -
Kula Devata: The image of the family
deity. Its dimension should not be more than one hasta (18") of length.
Lakshmi: Lotus seated and well
decorated and being bathed by elephants.
Cow with her calf and well
ornamented with flower garlands etc. to name a few.
Decorative lights, chandeliers,
bookshelf, vases, flower pots and furniture etc. should be meticulously and
tastefully selected and placed in appropriate settings so that they look
attractive. Whatever is exhibited should be pleasing to the eyes and mind
bringing joy and cheer to those who view them; aesthetic and cultural aspects
also should be borne in mind, while selecting decorative pieces or paintings
and pictures and placing them in homes.
Heavy furniture should be placed in
the South West side of the room and the light furniture can accommodate in any
corner.

decorations stop the entry of evil spirits and evil influences in the
house. The photographs of the ancestors
should be placed on the south Western side of the house.
The clock should be placed on the
Eastern, Western or Northern wall.

in a home; it is better to have one in office, factory, schools, colleges and
other buildings too. The appropriate place is the north-east corner of the
building and if not then the north-east corner of the room in house and central
chowk or garden or lawn of other buildings.
The deities like Brahma, Vishnu,
Maheshwar, Surya, Inder should face east or West and four-headed Brahma,
six-headed kartikeya, five faced Shiv can be placed facing any direction.
