DIRECTIONS IN VASTU SHASTRA :
Vastu Shastra
essentiality can also be called the science of directions.
There are 4 main directions EAST, WEST , NORTH &
SOUTH and 4 sub-directions or the corners at which the main directions meet
namely NORTH-EAST , NORTH-WEST SOUTH-EAST , SOUTH-WEST . Each main
Direction has its own significance in vastu Shastra and the corner directions
retain the characteristics of the two sides they join along with their own
characteristics. Also As per my analysis the 4 sub directions have more
importance that the main direction.
Vastu Shastra essentially Deals with the positioning of
the House/ office / factory along with other objects and rooms and various
other things in any place according to the above mentioned directions.
The Arrangements of the Rooms and other objects if done
up as per the proper directions in accordance with VASTU SHASTRA ensure
proper flow of positive energy throughout the Home or office or any other piece
of land and influence the lives of its inhabitance in a very favorable manner.
