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 . The diagrams showing interaction of human mind with the Cosmic Mind. The natural cycle of the elements is given here under. ...

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...

23. DIAGONAL PLOTS

A.) The plots in & which the major directions fall in the corners are known as diagonal plots. When the magnetic meridian instead of passing through the cen-tre of the plot makes an angle of 45 0 with the main axis of the plot they are known as diagonal plots. B.) The diagonal plots have the North-East, the North - West , the South -East and the South -West road sides. Out of these plots with road on the North -East side are very auspicious. The North-West and the South -East road side plots are of medium level. The South -West road side plots are useful for certain profession, these plots should never be taken for residential purposes. C.) The diagonal plots with roads on two, three or four roads give mixed results, however the South -West side should not be used as entrance. F.) The roads adjacent to the diagonal plots should not be haphazard or curved. At least in the compound wall of the diagonal plot no curve or oblique cut should be kept in ...
