It could be the best house you ever saw, but if it is not in accordance with Vaastu Shastra, it is not the right one for you.
Dating back to ancient times (3000 to 6000 BC), Vaastu or the Indian Science of Architecture is a powerful tool for happy and peaceful living. Vaastu homes are said to be more harmonious because they are balanced with the five elements – Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Sky.
A brief about Vaastu Shastra
“Vaastu” is a Sanskrit term that means “dwelling” or “house.”
Nature and humans both are governed by a set of rules that determine overall well-being. It is due to these rules that we can co-exist in this beautiful world full of diversity. Vaastu serves as a bridge between the two with the help of natural energies.
In most Hindu scriptures such as the Mahabharata, Rig Veda, and Ramayana, Vaastu has been explicitly explained. This proves that it is indeed an ancient science that stood the test of time. To this day, it is considered one of the most important factors while buying property.
Why Vaastu Shastra?
The purpose of Vaastu Shastra is simple – happy living.
Homes that are Vaastu compliant shower their residents, with quite a few cosmic benefits and improve their overall quality of life. It may not be essential, but it surely helps live a prosperous life. And don’t we all desire just that? A few more advantages of living in a Vaastu compliant home are:

Vaastu tips for home

· The main entrance should face the North-East or East direction
· Heavy furniture in the living room must be in the South-West or West direction

washrooms are better placed in the South-West corner

· Place happy family photos in the living room
· If you have a water element, make sure you place it in the North or East direction
