Lands with sharp cuts in their edges should be avoided. Extensions on the land that are found in the Northwest direction are not noble to utilize, as they are believed to cause unexpected loss of luck and wealth. Lands that are bulged at the center and tends to slope on all sides should be avoided. If possible, land buyer can choose a plot in which the north east half (solar) is lesser than the southwest half (lunar half).This activity of geographical consideration guarantees the flow of natural light, polar & solar energy into the land. Land situated near the large electric poles & electric power stations especially on the northeast sides of the plot are not advisable as they do not cause any positive vibrations for the plot. In case, if you are purchasing a land near a hospital, temple, manufacturing utility or any other public spaces, there must be a distance of minimum 80 feet away from these places. To make sure this, Vastu Shastra recommends that the shadow of the building or a temple will not emerge over the home.Vastu Shastra: Directions & their SupremaciesNortheast Direction: `Ishanya'· Function: Auspicious & sacred.· Effect: The flow of energy from this direction aids in stimulating good health, strength, wisdom, and prosperity· Ideal for: Pooja room, prayer room, and meditation room.East Direction: `Poorva'· Function: Progression & advancement.· Effect: Associates with element of Sun, a strong natural power that signifies illumination which cannot be surpassed by any, brings the positive festivity & power of light energy into home.· Ideal for: Verandah, entrance, and guestroom.Southeast Direction: `Agni'· Function: Representing fire, the direction associates with AGNIDEV which can be a perfect direction to keep fire related elements.· Effect: Energy, potency, and power.· Ideal for: Kitchen, power supply, electronic appliances, and machines.South Direction: `Dakshina'· Function: As the direction associates with YAM ­ a Hindu god of death, this direction is always considered as bad direction in Vastu.· Effect: Poor and unfortunate.· Ideal for: Backyard, kitchen garden, and waste store room.CHRONICLESHOMESImage Credit: makemyhouseEmbrace the exceptional ancient brilliance of the Vastu Shastra & turn every corner & piece of your home sprinkled with purity, positivity, serenity, & prosperity!
