Vastu is science of direction hence the directions are very important in all Vedic sciences.
Proper orientation of any building is important to ensure perseverance of positive energy for this proper knowledge of all the eight directions is necessary. Sun arises in the East and sets in the West and when we face the East, North lies to one’s South to one’s right. As is obvious the corner where two directions meet is more significant as forces emanating from two directions combine here. There are eight directions, North, Northeast, East, East south, South, Southwest, West, West north. Every direction has its own significance and has its own construction.
Each of the eight directions of the universe is presided over by a separate deity and these deities have their own influence on the prospects of the home/building. |
