Vastu for personal growth and self-realization

Ideally, the deities in the Vastu Purusha Mandala are divided into four layers of padas: the central Brahmasthan, surrounded by the Devata layer (divine beings), surrounded by the Manushya layer (human-like deities), surrounded by the outer Pishachya layer, consisting of 32 demonic deities.

The mandala divided into 81 parts has several variations. For example, unlike the mandala shown before you, there is an additional variation that includes 32 outer deities occupying only one pada each.

When preparing to renovate or apply corrections in a house not aligned with the cardinal directions, it is important to determine by how many degrees the house is tilted. Even if the tilt is less than 20 degrees, the exact positions of all directions must be checked. For this reason, one marks the locations of the deities (those that can be identified), the location of Brahma Bindu, the four padas surrounding the Brahma Pada (these must shift slightly in the direction of the tilt), and the 32 outer padas.

It is also necessary to correctly determine the positions of the deities Soma, Yama, Varuna, Shikhi, Anila, Pitra, and Rog by drawing a line from east to west (Brahma Sutra – that is, Surya, the Sun, life) and a line from north to south (Yama Sutra – death, as Yama is the god of death), as well as two additional diagonal lines: one from northeast to southwest, and the other from northwest to southeast (the corner deities). In this way, we can perform the most important corrections and improve the present condition.

When a house is in a Vidisha position, this also affects the elements – water, fire, air, and earth. This causes them to no longer function as they should from their proper corners, because those corners effectively no longer exist. Anything that disturbs the elements causes them to function incorrectly, which in fact is itself a dosha. A home (or apartment) with a 45-degree tilt is completely unsuitable for living. Such buildings are suitable only for business and trade.

Passages Beneath Buildings

Under many buildings in the world there are various kinds of passages – some for cars and some for people entering the building. In any case, according to Vastu, this is not a favorable condition. Because of movement beneath apartments that are, in essence, not connected to the ground, the disappearance of positive energies and stability may occur. Gates that block movement will not solve the problem. In most cases, nothing can be done. Corrections such as natural stone and strengthening the earth element within the home should help.

Water Flowing Beneath the Home

Water flowing beneath a home is considered a serious dosha. A home must stand on solid earth, without any element flowing underneath it. Such a defect, when one sleeps above it, can lead to severe illnesses.

Additionally, if there is a beautiful view from the window because of water flowing from the southwest of the home or near it in that direction, this is still problematic. In any case, such a home is not suitable for living at all.

Types of Corrections

Structural Corrections

Changing the shape of a building is, in fact, fundamental and powerful. Through altering the shape of the building, adding construction, or dividing the building, one can correct most doshas. For example, if a building has the shape of the letter “L” or any other inauspicious form, it can be divided into two parts (this principle applies to plots as well). By changing the shape of the structure, one may close cut-off parts, open certain areas, or close others.

The Five Elements

Each element is governed by a specific planet. When the elements are harmonious, this helps improve the influence of the planets.

Ether – Jupiter

Air – Saturn

Fire – Sun

Water – Venus

Earth – Mars

Proper use of objects representing the five elements helps maintain harmony among them and allows the energies on the property to flow correctly.

In each sector of the house, only objects corresponding to the ruling element should be placed:

Northeast – objects of water and ether

East – objects of fire and ether

Southeast – objects of fire

South – objects of fire and earth

Southwest – objects of earth

West – objects of air, earth, and water

Northwest – objects of air

North – objects of water and air

For example, if there is a strong influence of the fire element (such as a heater) in a water-element area, it is recommended to keep a water pitcher there in order to balance the water element. It is important that additional water-element objects be present to fully improve the condition. Similarly, it is not advisable to design or place a fireplace in the northern part of the home, as this may cause headaches for the residents.
