16. PROPER SOIL SELECTION


Vaastu places a great deal of importance on the proper quality of soil at the site for a house. An initial test of sorts is to dig two pits of the dimensions 2 feet by 2 feet by 2 feet. Care must be taken that the soil of the two pits is not mixed together. In one of these pits the soil should be put back.Once the pit is filled , the pits should be a residue of soil left over. If the dug -up soil exactly packs the pit or even worse, falls short, then the site is not regarded as being productive of prosper-ity.



The other pit is to be filled to the brim with water, in an ideal site, the water should take over an hour to be absorbed by the soil. If it takes less time than that, the site is regarded as a potential drain on resounds. Large cracks left behind in the pit after the water drains away is a for warning of extensive, construction expenses. A couple small cracks is not a matter of concern; if there are more than seven cracks, watch out.



A quicker test of soil quality is to dig the pit, fill it with water, and walk away for a length of 100 paces at your normal gait. When you return, a good site will retain over half the water, an average site between One -half the water, and a poor site; less than one fourth.

2. Basic Principles of Vaastu

Since the whole universe is a composition of five basic elements: Fire, Air, Space, Earth and Water. Through these, our body receives Internal Energies in the form of Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats etc. and External Energies in the form of Heat, Light, Sound, Wind and so on . The basic principles of Vaastu enables us to achieve balance among these ; giving more flexibility of body & mind for a better life . When the harmony between these elements gets disturbed our energies get dissipated in different directions leading to stress, tension and ill health and our peace of mind is destroyed. We then have to redirect our Energies subjectively as well objectively , so as to achieve an equilibrium between Internal / External Energies, to attain a healthy body and a happy mind leading to health, wealth, happiness, prosperity and success .

21. VEEDI SHOOLAS

Veedi Shoolas : There are sites where roads or lanes run right into the face of site from different directions and these are known as Veedi (Road) Shoolas (Arrows). Some of them are good and others are bad. (Ref. Sketch Nos. 1 to 8) Example of Layout of plots having Vedi Shoolas : Since it is impossible to comment upon sites with different and innumerable permutations and combinations of road, direction, size and shape etc., let us examine one layout whereby a general idea about the merits and demerits of different sites can be gathered. Plot No. 15 - Bad - East South-East - Veedi Shoola Plot No.19 - Good - East North-East   - Veedi Shoola Plot No.04 -Not Bad - South South-East - Veedi Shoola Plot No.36 - Bad   - North North -West - Veedi Shoola Plot No.28- V.Bad - West South -West - Veedi Shoola Plot No.32- Not bad - West North -West - Vee...

1. APPLICATION OF VAASTUSHASTRA

In the world everything, substance, man and other ani-mals are made from the Panchmahabhoot that is the five basic elements. The earth, the water, the fire, the wind and the sky. The five elements have close rela-tionship with man and his environment. Nature has given them their proper place according to merit. If we give proper place to these elements at proper places in our building we become one with Nature. Ac-tually nature is the God. One can experience the eter-nal truth of nature on every step. The whole nature is overpowered with magnetic environment. The modern man has waged a war with nature in many fields. We can see nature with our own eyes and we can experience the Panchmahabootas. Going against them would lead us to sure destruction. Taking the sur-roundings and the proper places for these elements into consideration, the sages and seers introduced Vaastushastra. For showing themselves rational, some people think Vaastushastra as superstitious. This is real...
