    Default How can we follow "Vastu Shastra" in US?


    Hi,

    Recently we shifted to Phoenix.I was searching apartment from 3-4 days.Apartments are depends upon the availability.How can one get exacltly what "Vastu Shastra" says.Lets start talking about remedies of following Direction tips.


    Position of rooms in the house-
    1) Plot should be square one.A rectangular plot is good,but length should not be double than breadth.
    2) Bedrooms-Southwest is the best position for bedrooms.
    3)Children room should be in the northwest or West Side.
    4) Kitchen may be located the southeast corner of the house.
    6) The dining room should be located in the East or the West or the North nears the kitchen. Northwest corner is good for perishable goods. Dinning room may be in the Northwest direction, which leads to quicker consumption of food.
    7) As per Vastu Shastra, the East is the place for the bathroom. Attached bathroom may preferably be in the North, or the East of a bedroom.
    8) Drawing room should be preferably in the Northeast or the North or the East but not in the Southwest portion of the house.


    Awaiting for eager replies,
    NiNi

    hi nini,
    i'm sorry to discourage you..but our Vastu shashtra is a classical science about designing and building structures for living in harmony with nature. It is based on the geographical location of our country, wind pattern, sun paths and the cosmic energy vibrations pertaining to india. It cannot be applied as such to a location in U.S or any other country...What i would suggest is for you to get hold of a credible vaastu practitioner (beware of quacks) and give him/her your options to assess the best suitable one for you...I'm an architect who worked with one of the leading authorities on Vastu...u may try reading her book "Penguin Guide to Vastu - Sashikala Ananth" to get clear ideas about vastu before setting into buying a place...heres the link to her website..Vaastuhealing - Reaching out to the whole extended human family
    All the best!

    final decision will be yours, as it's your life, your home. I just wanted to say we lived in USA for yrs changed several house without considering VASTU.
    see! what has to happen will happen. It's your HARD WORK & FATE that counts. It's good to have a knowledge of VASTU, FENGSUI or any other practises people follow( i don't know). But to let them rule your life & decisions doesn't seem right. I have not seen a single house who is really vastu perfect. It's going to be difficult for u to find a house if u limit yourself to the requirements of VASTU. if the house is airy, sunlight, peaceful, go for it.....

    My Dear Friends,

    Agreed to all of you ,one can never find a perfect house according to Vastu-Shastra.But have you heard about various Vastu Remedies.

    Vastu considered the interplay of various forces of nature involving the five elements of earth, water, wind, fire and ether and strives to maintain equilibrium as these elements influence, guide and change the living styles of not only human beings but every living being on earth. Thus they influence our deeds, luck, behavior and other basics of life.

    The biggest Proof of Vastu Shastra can be found during the time of Ramayan and Mahabharat. I will give you another live example.The location and construction of the famous Balaji Temple, the most prosperous in India, are all according to Vastu.

    Just wanted to contribute my 2 cents - there are Vaasthu experts (authentic and professional) who are now building homes and even townships in US and Canada. If you are really keen for applying Vaasthu rules to US homes, you can search for these.

    Hi Nini,
    Its extremely Difficult to follow these in US.i have been researching about these all over internet just a couple of months before ,when i was changing my apartment.
    From what i read i found out that vaastu applied to apartment buildings are extremely complicated infact we can even say that none of the vastu rules applies to apartment building which has multiple entrance and exit points ,and the main door usually opens to someone else house door.etc etc ,rather it applies to a single plot on which a house is build.longitude, latitude all matters and a lot of geography and science matters[which i have no idea about ].
    So normal rules dont apply here ,and advice can be given by only highly expert people which is probably rare to find in USA(Crooks are easy to find),just be careful and get someone with the referral from someone you know.

    Emotionally all these thoughts of vastu which is practically impossible to rectify can ruin your peace of mind.So dont pay much heed to this.

    Get a compass,find the east directions in your house and make sure you bed is along the E-W direction and your head is at east.
    Also place the idols of worship in the east ,the lamp should face east.

    I think this would be enough to have santi in the house.
    Make sure you let morning sunlight inside the house in abundance than the evening light.
