VASTU MADE EASY

                                                                                                                author: sasidhar

The idea is to give vastu in a simplified form for the common people without confusing them or rather without infusing fear into their minds.  Hope this four page tabloid helps them understand vastu better than reading a big volume of book on Vastu shastra.

Notes:

=====

The north east represents God (Easanya Moola) and hence considered sacred. Placing a bed room, toilet or kitchen (because fire is involved) were said to be insulting the sacredness

South East represents fire (Agni moola) and hence placing kitchen considered fit in this area.  Cooking facing East represents prosperity where sun rises and hence gives energy and breeze of happiness from the south direction.

South west represents wealth (kubera moola) and hence placing toilet is prohibited in this area.

Sleeping sides were compiled from a Malayalam old couplet and the scientific basis of our earth’s magnetic field
