Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ) on Vaastu Shastra (Part-2)
Question-6:What are the basic principles of Vaastu Shastra? Answer-6: Everything that exists in the universe, including our
bodies, is made of five elements. These five elements are earth
(geomagnetic energy), water (gravitational energy), fire (solar
energy), air (wind energy) and space (cosmic radiation). These
forces have a powerful influence on us, as well as the environment. Vaastu is the science of arranging our man-made environments so that
we are in alignment with these forces of nature. If we are not
aligned with solar and geomagnetic forces we may experience illness,
misfortune and struggle. It is as if we are attempting to swim
against the current of a river.
The east is the source of solar, ultra-violet rays, and the north is
the source of magnetic energy. We benefit by keeping our environment
open to these life supporting energies. The harmful infrared rays,
which come from the south, and the destructive gamma rays, coming
from the west, cause disruption within the environment and our
bodies. Using the principles of Vaastu Shastra, we protect ourselves
from these rays.
Each of these elements is associated with a particular direction.
Question-7:Are the principles of Vaastu applicable in different
geographical areas around the world? Answer-7: Even where there is a limited amount of sunshine, the
answer is yes. The basic principles of balancing the five elements
apply throughout the world. By using the principles of this science,
buildings can be designed to harmonize with the different climatic
conditions of each region.
Question-8:Can I benefit from using Vaastu Shastra without
demolishing my home and starting over? Answer-8: Yes. There are a few very easy
adjustments / remedies /
resolutions you can use.
Question-9:What are the planets associated with the directions in
Vaastu Shastra? Answer-9: East - Ravi (Sun); South East - Shukra ( Venus); South -
Angaraka (Mars);
South West - Rahu; West - Shani (Saturn); North
West - Chandra (Moon); North - Budha (Mercury); North East - Guru
Ketu
Question-10:Does the magnetic field of the earth have anything to
do with Vaastu Shastra? Answer-10: Yes. Most Certainly. The magnetic field of the earth
plays and important role while formulating Vaastu Shastra which can
significantly influence human life. According to Vaastu Shastra, one
should never keep his / her head towards the north while lying as it
obstructs the circulatory system causing irregular sleep, tension,
paranoia and other mental problems. The magnetic fields of the same
poles repel each other while the opposite attracts each other,
therefore a person should keep his / her head towards the south or
east.

pay consultation fees/charges for vastu tips? Answer-11: Apart from the free vastu tips, remedy and
