The books are intended to give full knowledge of all aspects of vaastu so that you take the correct decisions while choosing a house or condo/apartment/office premises / Industrial sheds etc. I must mention that the books are not based on any ancient texts. The books are a summary of the conclusions I have arrived at after analyzing over 2500 premises in the last 15 years.

One common feature of some of the ancient books is a mix up of Astrology with Vaastu. Vaastu is basically a pure science of structures and it discusses the energy field that develops because of the shape of structure and the way the doors and windows are placed. Slowly, Astrology also made forays to Vaastu. An attempt was made to interpret the plot onastrological matrix. See the following figure

Every plot was divided into nine parts on its length and breadth side. Each part was supposed to be controlled by a planet. According to Indian Astrology, Sun is considered a planet and Moon is also considered another planet. Two other imaginary planets, Rahu and Kethu are also included, thus making the total number to nine.

The nine divisions were believed to be under the influence of one planet each, namely, Sun, Moon, Mercury Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Kethu. The exits and the entrance were determined based on the position occupied by a particular planet in the plot. As you can see in this matrix, each cardinal direction occupies 5/9th of the length on the side. The corner directions were 2/9th the length.
I will be explaining in the later chapters why this matrix is wrong when we study the way energy interacts in a building or plot. You will then be able to appreciate why following this matrix could only lead to problems.
Over a course of time, further aberrations took place. The owner’s horoscope was also brought into picture. Depending upon his birth-star, indications were given as to where the main door should come, what type of plot would suit etc. The suitability of a plot for a person was supposedly determined by some mathematical calculations. These are called as ‘Aaya’s.

An Aaya was determined by taking an arbitrary unit of measurement, like the person’s arm length, who wanted to buy the plot. ‘Aaya’ was then calculated in a specific way to determine whether the plot suited him or not. The unit of measurement was also not uniform in all cases. While some used the length of a person’s arm, others used a unit, which was the length from a person’s ear to the ground. Still others used the distance between the tip of the little finger and the thumb as a unit. All this made the subject simply confusing and difficult to follow.

Another controversial factor was also taken into consideration in those times. It was believed that the suitability of a plot should be decided on the basis of the color of the earth of the plot and the caste to which the prospective buyer belonged. Thus a plot with red earth was considered good for people of a particular caste and the lot with black earth fitted the people of a different caste. Caste system was very much imposing in those times and probably the caste factor was also included in Vaastu considering the influence of caste on the society.

Some of the books also tried to analyze the characteristics of the plot based on the shape or appearance. Here again shapes of plots which resembled a cow’s face (Gomukha), were considered good, whereas shapes resembling a tiger’s face (Vyagramukha) were considered bad.

It is interesting to speculate as to how astrology made its foray into Vaastu. Most of the ancient kings in India were fans of astrologers and astrologers enjoyed a great amount of respect in those days. Nothing was planned without the consultation of the royal astrologer, be it a coronation or a war. Since the knowledge of Vaastu originated from builders who belonged to a lower class and were not represented in the royal ministry, they had to seek necessarily the help of the astrologers to popularise the findings. Probably, it was during this time, the astrologers modified the subject so that everything can be interpreted astrologically. Importance to various rituals was given during construction. The rituals were to be performed at various stages such as at the time of starting excavation, laying of foundation stone, keeping doorframes and after completion of construction. There is thus evidence to believe that astrology imposed itself on Vaastu and did not allow it to grow on its own.

Perhaps all these contradictory approaches resulted in pushing Vaastu to obscurity.

9. WHAT ARE TEH RITUALS TO BE PERFORMED FOR CLOSING OF WELL?
None. You are doing something which is in accordance with nature’s law. That itself is the right ritual.
10. IN A FACTORY, SHOULD THE OWNER OCCUPY SOUTHWEST ALWAYS?
No. Weight is the important factor here and not the person.

11. HOW CAN A CENTRAL OPENING AFFECT VAASTU?
For a ground floor, there is no effect, if there is central opening. You can see this in all old houses in any village. But for the first floor, the central opening gives a pit effect. We have already learnt that a depression in any sector increases its strength. The centre portion has to be neutral at Zero energy level for proper peripheral flow of forces. But once you create a depression, it will become stronger than Northeast which will be at a higher level. The pit will then act as a Southwest depression and gives bad results. This is the reason it is best avoided.

12. WILL BAD VAASTU AFFECT THE OWNER OR THE TENANT?
Vaastu is a characteristic of the structure. Whoever resides in the structure are the recipients of the effects. The question of ownership does not come into the picture.

13. SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT ONE SHOULD NOT WALK ON A WATER SUMP. IS IT CORRECT?
Again, if you see life in under developed villages you find that large open wells were dug to serve the entire village. With the pully yet to make entry, the only way to lift water was to keep a wooden board or logs of wood across the well and wall over it to the centre to draw water. This rule was made so that people will not use it as a shortcut and the children as well as the aged keep away from it. It was a safety protection. This rule has no relevance in the present days. Even though you are not aware, you are walking on water all the time, when you move on a city road as all roads have water pipes underneath. Thousands of ships are sailing on water and sailors keep on moving inside it over the water all the time. You know nothing goes wrong.

14. HOW CAN A TOILET IN NORTHEAST CREATE TROUBLE?
In any toilet the outlet pipe is connected to a pit or a septic tank or to a sewage pipe provided by the Corporation. Sewage is energy dead. It is rebusement under decomposition.

A cosmic force gets completely repelled when it comes in contact with energy dead decaying materials. A Northeast force stands for development of life. Sewage is life dead which is beyond redemption. Hence no flow takes place resulting in a total absence of Vaastu field.

15. THERE IS A GENERAL BELIEF THAT A HOUSE SHOULD HAVE THREE STEPS. IS THIS CORRECT?
As you are aware each step has a rise of 6 inches. Three steps means 18 inches. If you refer the graph of difference in level Vs. Northeast strength, you will find that at 18 inches the flow is maximum. Hence the rule. What we have to appreciate here is that the rule defines the level difference between the floor level of the house and the open area outside in Northeast.

Naturally, you have to follow this rule with reference, to thedoor in Northeast only. It can be the back door in case of West and South facing plots or front door in case of East and North facing plots.

You should not follow this rule if your house faces West or South. If you have maintained the levels in the set back as discussed earlier, then the house floor level will be very near the set back level in front of your main door.

I have explained this is greater detail in the chapter on entry door. please refer the same.
