Vastu Shastra for Successful Business
This guide brings together classical Vāstu principles (Mayamata, Mānasāra, Brihat Samhita, Samarāṅgaṇa Sūtradhāra) and modern office realities. It gives you a clear, direction-wise plan for entrances, seating, departments, utilities, aesthetics, and practical remedies—especially for rentals where structural changes are limited.
Core Principles (Vāstu Purusha & Five Elements)
- Brahmasthān (Center): Keep light and open. Avoid heavy partitions or columns dominating the center.
- North-East (Īśānya · Water): Sacred & light. Ideal for puja, reception water features. Avoid toilets and heavy storage.
- South-East (Agneya · Fire): Energy & combustion. Suitable for pantry, electrical, server (with cooling).
- South-West (Nairṛtya · Earth): Stability. Best for owner/MD cabin and safe/locker room.
- North-West (Vāyavya · Air): Movement. Works for HR, dispatch, deals that need circulation.
- North (Kubera): Wealth flow. Great for accounts, sales desks, and receipt operations.
- East (Āditya): Visibility and growth. Good for branding, marketing, and executive desks.
- West (Varuṇa): Knowledge and consolidation. Good for R&D, analytics, and conference rooms.
Compass note: Use a precise, calibrated compass or a phone with magnetometer calibration. Confirm direction from the plot’s center, not only from the doorway.
