2. DIRECTIONS- ITS IMPORTANCE IN VASTU
• 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 in Vastu Shastra 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.
3. NORTH
• The vastu Purush chest is in this direction. This is one
of the most auspicious directions. The owner of this
directions is Kuber,Lord of Wealth and Prosperity,
which is why north is known as wealth and career
direction.
• North receives a tremendous amount of positive
energy from North Pole. This energy is extremely
beneficial to a structure and is also important for the
resident of the building. Keeping this in mind, it is
imperative that there should be large openings in the
north to help structure receive these positive
energies.
• Do not have bathroom, store room, kitchen and
master bedroom here.Having bedroom here in north
promotes restlessness.
4. • If the numbers of doors in the north are
fewer and smaller in size than doors in the
south, it can create vastu defects and lead to
expenditure-related problems.
• LORD KUBER is the Lord of the NORTH
direction. He is considered the treasurer of
the Gods.
• This is the direction of Wealth and riches.
• Mirrors are auspicious here they are
supposed to double up your wealth.
5. • Planet MERCURY rules this direction.
• There should be big openings in the North
direction
• It is auspicious and there is financial gain if
there is slope & well or underground Water
tank on North side of the Plot.
• There is a loss wealth & prosperity if there is
heavy construction in the North direction.
• North means Lord Kubera abode This its is
Advised to keep a Cash Box or SAFE for cash
/ treasury or valuable items in the NORTH
Direction of the Home or Office .
6. • North is the most prominent cardinal direction
in Vastu Shastra and recognized as favorable
after East. North is opposite direction of South
and seems perpendicular to East and West.
• The significance of North in Vastu is due to its
sacredness where all positive energies reign and
surrounds that is why Northern sides of home
or factory are recommended to leave open.
• North is ruled by Lord Kubera- God of wealth
and Vastu says to keep this side open so as to
raise inflow of wealth, success and riches. Vastu
has immense significance for two cardinal
directions i.e. East and North because both the
directions have implicitly linked with divine
energy.
