VASTU DOSHAS AND REMEDIES

Vastu dosha is a projected flaw or deficiency in the known characteristics of the eight directions. These directions have been endowed with qualities based on a classification sourced from the Panch Mahabhootas.

A building may have combination of minor and major defects. This magnitude of defects depends on the direction where the defects occur, and the multiplicity increases. Generally northeast and southwest corners are the most important orientations in Vastu. As per the vastu, northeast is like receiving hands. It is the magic corner of the house.  It is considered that luck enters a dwelling unit through Northeast, if open and remains inside the premises if southwest is closed, solid and packed. If southwest is open, luck would take an exit from there.

Therefore, faults in Northeast and Southwest can be treated as major defects.

Defects and their effects

The below mentioned defects do not prove to be satisfactory in every case. The effects might differ as every case is different. Just by viewing a part of the building conclusion cannot be drawn. Although the external set of many buildings might be the same, but the internal set up changes the perspective for the residents. The below mentioned effect is an analysis from common reading and does not prove the law.

Vastu Shastra is believed to exhibit cosmic energies that can be very beneficial for a successful lifestyle. Vastu shastra is also the bridge that combines or creates harmony between human beings and nature.

Vastu shastra considers cosmic energies caused by five important elements of life primarily fire, sky, wind, earth and space. All these ellements can bring in positivity and success in your life. Vastu shastra does mention remedial procedures to curb or lower the amount of negativity. You need to place crystals, instruments like plates, stones to nullify the whole negativity.

All these instruments are charged up with certain positive spirits that help to balance the amount of negativity in your house. At times, you will have to reconstruct your house or change the direction of certain rooms accordingly.

Every vastu dosha will have some kind of remedy and this makes it extra pious. Vastu shastra never claims to fully charge any house completely. There are certain areas that will always remain negative, and the only solution is to amend and consider locations that lowers the chances of negativity.
