Acharya Vinod Kumar shares vastu tips for a perfect home

There comes a point in one’s life, when nothing seems to be correct. From your career to your relationships, everything you do takes a backstage. This results in failing relationships, because a relationship asks for time and love, which of course, looks like a headache at the struggling time. At this time, you seek answers from god and your advisors. However, what if we tell you that the answers lie within your home itself?

Yes, your home is a solution to everything if it is vastu friendly. A house with correct vastu brings positivity, good luck and lots of happiness. Renowned astrologer, Acharya Vinod Kumar shares a few guidelines to design and construct an ideal house which brings prosperity, protection and peaceful environment in the house. It is essential to understand and interpret these ground rules and then apply.

While having an interaction, Acharya Vinod Kumar says, “Practice of Vastushashtra is an ancient Indian sacred science of divination, also known as architectural principles that bring out a positive balance of elements and energies in and around your living space.”

• The main door of the house should preferably be located in any of the exalted positions from the Northeast corner - either from North of Northeast or from East of Northeast. Doors can also be in the South of Southeast or West of Northwest but in no case, should the main entrance be from the center of any direction. Also the main entrance or door should be avoided in all the following four directions, namely, North of Northwest, East of Southeast, South of Southwest and West of Southwest. There should not be any obstruction or water body just opposite the main entrance.
• Balconies should be planned towards the East and North and should be definitely avoided in the South and West. If balconies in the South and West cannot be avoided, then larger balconies must be provided towards the North and East. Care should be taken while providing balconies so that a cut or truncation is not created in the Northeast corner. 
• The kitchen should be ideally situated in the South-east corner of the house and as an alternative in certain cases, may be in the North-west corner, but in both cases, the cooking platform should be arranged to facilitate cooking while facing east only. The Kitchen should never be in the Northeast corner and it should also be avoided in the Southwest too, as both locations will create problems with respect to the health and finance of the inmates.
  
• Rooms in the West and East can be used for dining. The appetite can be stimulated in the dining hall by having the walls painted in light pink or orange. A rectangular dining table is the most preferred. In the dining room, while eating, one should sit facing East or West. 
• The overhead water tank should be located in the Southwest corner of the terrace preferably in the West of Southwest. 
• The prayer room should be planned in such a way that it is placed either in the Northeast corner or in the central portion (Brahmasthana) of the house.
• The pictures of the god should touch the wall on the East side in the prayer room facing west; inmates should perform their prayers facing east for better concentration and devotion. 
• No garbage should be thrown or dumped in the Northeast corner of the building or plot and the Northeast should always be kept free and clean. 
• The Northeast, North and East walls should be decorated with photo frames, mirrors, and paintings of gods and with wallpaper with natural scenery; whereas the West, South and Southwest walls can be decorated with scenery in a dull or matte finish. The South wall can be used for hanging pictures of departed souls. Pictures of living beings may be hung on the Eastern wall. 
• The bedroom can be painted in light to deep blue’s to induce sleep. Green is advised for study rooms to promote intelligence. Sandal/ yellow is advised for the prayer room. 
• Living rooms can be painted in white, yellow, light pink, light blue or green. Grey, red and black are to be avoided. 
• It is preferable to have the staircase towards the South, West or Southwest of the building but it may be in the Southeast or Northwest, depending on other parameters. Staircases should be avoided in the Northeast, North and the East.

• Circular/spiral staircases are generally to be avoided. The number of steps in a staircase should be odd, including the landing step, and they should rise from East to West or from North to South.
• Toilets should be located in the Northwest corner of the building or in the Northwest corner of the rooms. Where Northwest toilets are not possible, Southeast toilets are allowed.
