The Amazing Science of Vaastu

Slopes in the Offset Portions
Slopes in Offset portions are very important for increasing Vaastu benefits. After the construction is complete turn your attention to the slopes. the slopes should be as under:

From South-West which is at the highest level, rain water should flow towards South-East and North-West.

From South-East and North-West the slope should be such that water flows from both directions towards North East. The exit point can be in East of North-East or North of North-East. The South-East level can be slightly higher than North-West at the tips. The East of South-East end and North of North-West end can be raised, so that they come to the plinth level of the building. It is also preferred to have the tip of the Southeast slightly higher than Northwest as due to the tilt of the Earth the South- East goes up and North-West comes down and hence this step in the plot will be in harmony with the tilt of the earth.

Differences between Doors, Windows, Arches and Ventilations

A door allows or blocks the entry of forces depending on whether it is open or closed. A window allows the wind forces (but prevents the ground pranic forces) to enter and stale air to exit depending on whether they are open are closed. A ventilator allows the stale breathed out air to exit all 24 hours. An arch is not to be counted as a door. It is just an opening and does not have any effect.

Number of windows

Many Vaastu authorities hold that the numbers should be even. In the modern context this has no meaning. See figure (45) of a window which is very commonly used. If we look at this figure we observe this is a four sector window. We can operate this window by opening one, two, three or four shutters. Then again we can operate it in multiple combinations by opening two or three shutters. In this one window or four joined together, how do we count?

The number of windows are therefore not important. The wind forces contain pranic energy and it is this energy that we are interested in. They again come from North and East and move towards South and West. therefore scientifically we have tocalculate the total surface area of the windows in North and East side and compare it wtih the surface area of the windows in South and West put together. This ratio should be atleast 2:1 to get the best benefits.

Ventitllation can be provided in every room as these are beneficial in maintaining an even temperature and pushing out the stale breathed out air. Their numbers are not important.

Doors
The South and West facing plot owner, seems to be under a wrong impression that South facing or West facing is bad. Under a mistaken impression that the doors should face North or East, they place the door on the North and East side which actually comes in the North of North-West or East of South-East which are both forbidden. No wonder these houses face several problems due to this effect. As stated earlier no direction is good or bad in itself. thus it is best to place the doors as under:

1. South facing plots	First half of South
2. East facing plots	First half of East
3. North facing plots	First of North
4. West facing plots	First half of West

It is mandatory for South and West facing plots to keep a door in North and East respectively and this door should lie to the right side of the front door, so that the clock wise movement of the forces is maintained, inside and outside of the building.

There seems to be no basis for stipulating the size of the doors. Normally doors are available in 3 1\2'x7', 3' x 6 1/2' and 3' x 7' which includes the frame as well. but it is important that the total surface area of Doors in North and East must be more than those facing West and South. Please also note that it is best to keep the doors inside the house in every room in the inside in North of North East or East of Norteast for best results.

Again the material used for doors does not have any effect on Vaastu. You can certainly go for any wood you like starting from Teak which is the costliest to Rubber wood which is cheap. Similarly for bathrooms, toilets etc., you can go for sintex doors. Recently metallic doors with 'PUF' insolation has also come to the market and these can be certainly used. The same principle applies to the material for windows and ventilatars. These can also be made out of Steel.
