WHAT ARE THE MYTHS & FUNDAMENTALS OF VASTU IN NUTSHELL?THE VASTU OF SELF REALIZATION...20

THE SEVEN MYTHS OF VASTU ;-

Vastu is a science of buildings. It has been a part of our civilisation since ancient times but now many so called Vastu pundits are spreading unnecessary fear and myths which is jeopardising the whole scientific reasoning behind Vastu Shastra.

MYTH ONE;-

Lord Ganesha at the entrance is auspicious

The practice of placing figurine of lord Ganesha at the entrance of a building must be avoided as showing back to lord Ganesha brings abject poverty.

MYTH TWO ;-

Mirror in bedroom causes misery in marital life

Again, this is a common belief that mirror in the bedroom brings bad luck to the marriage. But it is certain that the position of dressing table/mirror reflecting the bed doesn’t create any such negative effect by itself. The problem arises only if the location of the mirror is in the incompatible zone.

MYTH THREE;-

A-Face East while conducting Business

The belief that only facing East would be profitable for conducting business has no substance. This belief has been passed on from previous times when all articles were made by hand.

B-Accordingly, it was correct to sit facing East while working. But now the style of work has undergone numerous changes in the modern world.

C-According to Vastu, each kind of work is associated with a particular zone that is best for it. According to your business, you need to choose the right direction which will give you complete success and profit.

MYTH FOUR;-

Main Entrance in the West or South zones are inauspicious..

Many people believe that North-East entrance is the best and in search of this entrance, they give up West and South-facing plots, as they consider them inauspicious. Whereas the surprising fact is that 80 percent of successful people occupy properties facing West or South.

MYTH FIVE;-

Three doors aligned facing each other in a straight line

There is a misconception that vastu doesn’t permit doors facing each other. The reality is however different. The plans of old buildings, including ancient temples, do not support this myth.

In fact in few ancient temples the four doors were always aligned in a straight line. Hence, it’s better to design as per the practical requirements, complying with the 4-steps of Vastu.

MYTH SIX;-

Toilet at the entrance is inauspicious....

It’s another common belief that toilet at the entrance is inauspicious. Whereas, the truth is that effects of an entrance are different from those of a bathroom. According to Vastu, toilets are should be built in the zone of disposal. Vastu defects are caused when these recommendations are not meant.

MYTH SEVEN;-

04 FACTS;-

1-Toilet and Kitchen shouldn’t be together

It is a very common misconception that in a building kitchen, toilet, should not be adjacent to each other. If we go by the common belief, a common wall between the kitchen and the toilet is considered highly inauspicious. But MahaVastu has proved it wrong.

2- If we consider the elements associated with the 16 Vastu Zones then the ideal location of the kitchen and the toilet is found adjacent to each other.According to the Theory of 5 Elements and the Vastu’s Shakti Chakra, the best zone for the kitchen is South-East, with other permissible Vastu zones being North-West, West, South and South-South-East.

3-On the other hand, Vastu Zones prescribed for locating a toilet are South-South-West, West-North-West, and East-South-East.Clearly, if we go by the zonal capacity of the kitchen and the toilet, the ideal location of the kitchen lies adjacent to the ideal locations of a toilet.

4-It should also be remembered that the kitchen is represented by the Fire element and the toilet by Earth. Since Fire element complements Earth, there is no mistake or Vastu dosh in keeping the kitchen and the toilet adjacent to each other..
