5 Vastu Points to Check Before Buying a House

Purchasing a Property is a Significant Milestone for most Individuals and Families, representing a Momentous and eagerly anticipated Decision. The Process of buying a Property can be the culmination of years of Planning, Saving, and Hard Work. It is a Moment that holds great Importance and Meaning, as it represents the attainment of a Dream and the fulfillment of a long-term Goal. Incorporating Vastu Shastra Principles into this Process can enhance the Positive Energy and Harmony of your new Home, ensuring it becomes a Space that fosters Well-being and Prosperity.

North-East Direction

The first and foremost point to check before buying any Property, whether an Apartment or a House, is the North-East Direction of the Space. This Direction holds significant importance in Vastu for Home as it influences the flow of Positive Energy and Harmony. The points listed below will guide you in understanding the key aspects of the North-East Direction according to Vastushastra, ensuring you make an informed choice when selecting a Property.

• The North-East direction, also called the Ishaan Kon, is one of the most important and sensitive directions of any property.
• It is the direction which acts as the source or origin of positive energies in that particular place & must be kept neat, clean & vibrant.
• This direction also represents the head of “Vastu Purusha”. As per the symptoms and is often termed as the “Brain of the House”.
• This is the most ideal direction to have a prayer room, temple or meditation space.

A property which has a toilet, kitchen, store, septic tank or any other low energy activity should not be bought, unless one has a practical option of removing the aforesaid from North-East direction. If the North-East direction is affected by any means, and there is no possibility of renovation, one must not buy the said property.

Many people want to rely on remedies or Vastu treatments, as the property appeals to them and they ask for Vastu compensations. One must be very cautious and aware that there is no fully effective Vastu treatment for the defects of North-East direction. Avoid having a store room, toilet or kitchen in the North-East Direction.

Placement of Kitchen

The kitchen is the major fire activity in any place. The direction or placement of the kitchen matters much as per Vastu. Having the kitchen in the direction as per Vastu, is a major benefit and helps the occupants in numerous ways.

Firstly, we must know that when we refer to the kitchen, the actual thing to consider as per Vastu is the placement of the cooking stove or heating appliances. The fire related equipment actually represents the fire element in the space.

• As per Vastu Shastra, it is recommended to have fire activity between the South-East & South directions. This direction belongs to the fire element and having a kitchen here ensures the fire element is balanced.
• Also, the second-best direction for having a kitchen is the West direction. But a kitchen is West direction must be planned with proper Vastu balancing, else it may not serve the desired results.
• Not only the direction of the kitchen, but also color schemes in the kitchen must be as per Vastu. Having black, blue or grey colors in the kitchen prove to be disastrous as it disturbs the fire element.

One must try to buy a property which has a kitchen in the South-East to South direction, which is ideal as per Vastu. However, sometimes due to modern constructions and apartment concepts, if the kitchen is not in the above-mentioned directions, it is always better to check with a Vastu Expert if the kitchen can be managed by Vastu Treatment. The ideal Vastu direction for kitchen (fire) is between South-East & South. If the kitchen is not in the right direction, skip buying the said property.

Entrance (Main Door/Gate)

It is a very popular myth that we must always buy an East facing property & must avoid a South facing property. Even the same is recommended by Dr. Google & Dr. YouTube. However, we must understand that it is not the facing what matters, but the direction in which the main door is located which is important as per Vastu.

• We must not generalize that south facing properties are not good as per Vastu. South facing properties with entrance gate between south-east & south is much auspicious.
• Not all east facing properties are good. East facing properties with the main door towards South-East are not good.

Entrance is the mouth for the property. Just like our body grows and maintains health in accordance to what we eat through our mouth, similarly, the growth & health of the property is governed by the type of energies entering through the main gate.

While buying a property we must be very careful about choosing a property with the best entrance. We must not check the entrance directions by approximation, rather consult a Vastu Consultant, who would evaluate whether the entrance would be beneficial or not. Avoid an entrance or main door in the South-West Direction.

Low Energy and Productive Areas

Optimizing productivity and positivity in any space involves following Vastu guidelines tailored to that environment. It's crucial to consider energy distribution when planning activities and placements within a space.

For instance, areas with lower energy levels, like toilets and disposal zones, should be strategically positioned. Meanwhile, spaces with positive energy flow, such as bedrooms, home offices, and study areas, should host productive activities. Maintaining this balance is vital.

However, violating these principles, such as placing bedrooms or home offices in low-energy zones, or situating toilets or dustbins in positive energy areas leads to significant challenges. A knowledgeable Vastu expert will assess these factors before advising on property purchases. This foundational aspect of Vastu planning, known as "Correct Placement as per nature of activity or object," typically doesn't involve remedies. For example, if the master room is in a low-energy direction, a genuine Vastu advisor would recommend relocating the bedroom rather than offering remedies for incorrect bed positioning.

Proximity to Nature

Being close to nature is essential for a healthy mind, body, and soul. Especially after the challenges of COVID-19, people now recognize the importance of wellness alongside their careers. Therefore, when purchasing a property, it's vital to prioritize natural elements that can enhance our surroundings and well-being.

• Welcoming daylight or sunlight from any direction into the property is highly encouraged by Vastu shastra. The more sunlight we invite through windows, doors, or balconies, the more positive energy flows within the space.
• Ventilation is equally crucial. Ensuring maximum airflow from all directions through cross ventilation contributes to a refreshing and invigorating atmosphere within the property.
• Moreover, having greenery, gardens, parks, lakes, or any natural landscapes nearby adds to the property's positive Vastu vibes. Therefore, it's wise to ensure the presence of nature in some form around the property you intend to purchase.

Properties lacking natural elements like greenery or ample sunlight may not provide the necessary positive vibrations. Prioritizing nature's presence when choosing a property can significantly enhance its overall appeal and contribute to a healthier and more harmonious living environment.
