VASTHU
is the foundation that determines the strength of a site by identifying respective positions and sources of the elements of nature such as water, fire, soil, space or the cosmic spirit and air on the site. Let us assume that we discuss vasthu for an apartment that is located on the fifth floor. To assess thestrength of the apartment, we need to determine its position within the vasthu grid. Assuming that the apartment fits into a single grid, whose portent is fire, then it is subjected to the influences of fire or agni. Perhaps, you are too far away from air or vayu that can nurture fire and add to the positive qualities of Agni.

Vasthu is a grid of portents that comprises facets of life such as knowledge, wealth, marriage and so on, on the positive side, and sickness, theft, frictions and financial losses and so on, on the negative side. There are 64 such portents you are exposed to. The complexion differs as per the function such as domestic use, office, learning and so on. All the portents are interlinked through a neutraliser or a pacifier called the Brahma Sthana. When we look at the features of a particular portent, we should not evaluate it in isolation. We must find out if a proper link is established to turn the same portent favourable or not.

For example, if positive agni were established through an unblemished Brahma Sthana, the events related to these portents would be favourable. A proper link of agni to vayu, on the positive side, can provide the pleasures and potency in sex life resulting in comfortable childbirth; on the negative side, the same may turn out to be indulgences outside the family, resulting in frictions at home.
Similarly, it can lead to availability of luxuries like expensive cars that result in pleasure of travel on the positive side or lead to accidents on the negative.

The sustaining power of the resulting portents is controlled by other influencing portents of vasthu. For example, when a child is expected, the qualities of Easanya on the Northeast determine the gender, health and longevity of the same.

Creation of vasthu grid:-
The positions of water, fire, soil, space (to capture the cosmic spirit) and air found in proper order determine the evolution of vasthu in an enclosed property. The proximities and positions with respect to compatible directions establish the strength of Vasthu.
Northeast is attributed to water; southeast is to fire, Southwest to soil, northwest to air and the centre to the Brahma Sthana. When the elements match the directions, you have created a solid foundation.

The positions of water underground in Northeast and fire in Southeast regulate the spectrum of solar energy as ultraviolet rays and infrared rays respectively on the eastern stretch. A water source identified in the Northeast is subjected to ultraviolet filtered water for consumption and the food cooked in Southeast eliminates contamination and food poisoning. So is the well in Northeast and kitchen in Southeast. Bathroom, in the east centre, fights germs and neutralises body temperature, provided you bathe in the morning.

Adherence to the above rules will ensure the blessings of the God of New Beginnings and Growth (Lord Indra) in the East, God of Career & Income (Lord Kubera - He has three legs) in the North, God of Abundance & Settlement (Lord Varuna) in the West, God of Accomplishments & Salvation (Lord Yama) in the South and God of Creation (Lord Brahma) in the centre. Lord Indra holds the lightning streak in his right hand and keeping a basil plant in the East acts as an earth against lightning.

The starting point of Vasthu is from where the front is identified. The front of Man or donkey or jellyfish is where the mouth is. The same way, the point of entry that separates your premises from a public space, be it a street or lift lobby or the floor corridor, is where your front is.
Identifying the point of entry with respect to the positions of elements of nature and the condition of the Brahma Sthana determine the state of life of the inmates.Out of 64 points of entries, which is yours? Every single cardinal direction has 16 sub-directions. If you assume your house faces east, remember that there are 16 easts, of which to find out the exact one, we need an exact compass reading, physically taken on the spot.

How on earth a person on the TV or the telephone is competent to guide you, just by asking you which general direction your house faces? The same way, be cautious of persons who want `only the sketch of your house'.
While seeking professional help, ensure that the person moves out of his seat or else (1). You are his/her yet another provider of the day, (2). The recommendations he/she proposes may result in disasters. We will examine the characters of directions later.

A large low earthen carpet with an underground water source that is ultraviolet filtered on the northern half, and a well maintained kitchen garden that gets solar cooked the before the radiations pass on to the stove on the southeast half give you benefits of spiritual bliss, wisdom, influence and health.

Many people often observe that there are people living without problems in spite of features present in their premises that are in non-compliance with vasthu parameters.

Perhaps, a big vasthu defect could be spotted within, to add to such conclusions.

A full square happy family denotes that there are always present pairs of three generations of lineage, and the fourth is in the offing, celebrating life blessed with health, wealth, knowledge, harmony, and respect and so on in unison.

In a house that has got an `obvious' vasthu defect, there is always an obscure member that absorbs the effects.
For example, in a house with vasthu conditions present as to cause the loss of an elderly husband, there could be found a cook who is an old widow who sleeps and bathes there, satisfying the relevant energy demand, thus helping the core household remain unaffected. Allow her to keep a portrait of her departed husband hung out.

It is wise to `plant or uproot' the vulnerable members in order to camouflage a negative situation, especially when the time is ripe to strike. However, this could just be a complement to a band of the rest of the strategies to ward off evil in total.
:
If you allow rainwater and drainage of others flow into your property. Remedy: Talk your neighbour out to save your family at once.

If the Northwest of your premises is higher than the Southeast. Remedy: Match floor levels or brightly light up the Northwest temporarily.

If there is an open sewage on the Southeast side. Remedy: Close the drainage and cap it up with a wastepaper bin or maintain four purple crotons in line between the centre and the southeast of the property.
This beside, better be watchful while opening up your car bonnet.

Back to the study of directions:
Recap: Lord Varuna, being the ruling deity, the West is under the influence of Rahu on West of Southwest, Saturn at Centre and Moon on West of Northwest.

Saturn in West
Positive site features: Narrow setback, thick fruit bearing trees on southern part and root bulbs on northern part, land and building floor levels either matching or higher than on East, Northeast, North and Northwest put together, dining, air-conditioned rooms, placement of refrigerators, bedroom, pooja for East and North facing plots, staircase (never for a North-facing plot), conservatories, study and solitary past time activities.

Influences: Long life, health and wealth, speedy recovery, firm family bondage, ambitions fulfilled, creative and original, well paid for less labour, sustained agricultural revenues, attention to details, perseverance and patience, rewarding leisure, pleasures and hobbies, self-control and closed strategies, benevolent and spiritual.

Negative Site Features: Vast barren space, well and other depressions, lower ground and floor levels than on east and north, fire features, slope towards west or south, blocks and openings at sensitive areas.

Influences: Late rise and delayed starts, frequent unpredictable events, laziness and lame excuses, dearth of ideas, scattered family, short life and sinful activities, hard labour in vain, ambitions thwarted halfway through, ruled over by servants, being subjected to victimisation, chronic illnesses and amputations and waste of resources.

Moon on West
This is the most interesting aspect, for it involves linking the self and the family to everything outside, from hell to heavens, spiritual guide to concubines, neighbours to the outlandish and so on.
