🕉️ What is Vastu Shastra — The Science of Space
Vastu Shastra is a 5,000+ year old Vedic science of architecture and space design. The word "Vastu" comes from Sanskrit — meaning "dwelling" or "site" — and "Shastra" means "science" or "system." Together, it is the science of creating living spaces that are in harmony with nature's forces.
Vastu Shastra works on the principle that every direction has a ruling deity, planet and element: North (Kubera — wealth), East (Surya — health), Northeast (Ishaan — divine blessings), South (Yama — discipline), West (Varuna — knowledge), Southwest (Nairutya — stability). When your home's layout aligns with these forces, positive energy flows freely and all areas of life improve.
"Sukhe dukhe same kritvaa laabhaalaabhau jayaajayau — Vastu teaches us that when space is in harmony, life flows in harmony." — Vastu Shastra Sutras

✅ Top 21 Vastu Tips for Home — Room by Room
🚪 Main Entrance (Tip 1–4)
1
Main Door — North, East or Northeast Only
The main entrance is the "mouth" of your home — it determines what energy enters. North-facing entrance attracts wealth (Kubera's direction). East-facing attracts health and prosperity (Sun's energy). Northeast is the most auspicious for divine blessings. South-facing entrance is inauspicious — use Vastu remedies like a metal swastika or specific plants to counteract if you cannot change it.
Vastu tip in Hindi: Mukhya darwaza Uttar, Purva ya Eshaan dishaa mein hona chahiye.
2
Main Door Should Open Inward — Clockwise
Your main door must open inward (inside the house) and swing clockwise. A door that opens outward pushes energy — and opportunities — away from your home. The hinges must not creak — a creaking door creates constant irritation and anxiety energy in the home. Oil hinges regularly.
3
Bright Light at Main Entrance — Always
The main entrance must always be well-lit, even at night. Light = positive energy. A dark entrance blocks opportunities and creates stagnant energy. Place a bright light above the main door. A small Ganesha or Om symbol above the door is highly auspicious — Ganesha removes obstacles before they enter your home.
4
No Shoes Near Main Door — Use a Separate Rack
Shoes carry the energy of everywhere you have walked — offices, hospitals, streets. Keeping shoes right at or inside the main entrance brings that mixed external energy into your home. Use a closed shoe rack placed to the South or Southwest of the entrance. Never keep shoes in the Northeast direction.
🍳 Kitchen (Tip 5–7)
5
Kitchen in Southeast — Agni (Fire) Zone
Southeast is Agni's (fire deity's) corner — the natural home of the kitchen. The cook should face East while cooking — Sun's direction gives health and nourishment to the food. If kitchen is in another direction, place the gas stove facing East as a minimum remedy. Never place the kitchen in the Northeast — fire in the water/divine zone creates serious health and financial problems.
Rasoi ghar Southeast (Agneya) disha mein honi chahiye.
6
Gas Stove and Sink — Never Side by Side
Fire and water are opposing elements — placing the gas stove and kitchen sink directly next to each other creates constant conflict energy in the family. There should be a counter space or at minimum a small separation between them. This simple change is known to reduce family arguments significantly within weeks.
7
Kitchen Always Clean — Especially After Sunset
Vastu says Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) visits kitchens after sunset. If the kitchen is dirty, unwashed dishes in the sink, she leaves immediately. Clean the kitchen every evening after cooking. This one habit change has measurably improved financial situations in many iKripa clients' homes within 30-40 days.
🛏️ Bedroom (Tip 8–11)
8
Master Bedroom in Southwest — Stability Zone
Southwest is the Nairutya (earth) zone — stability, groundedness and security. The master bedroom here gives the head of the family authority and stability. Avoid master bedroom in Northeast (too sacred, disrupts sleep), Southeast (too active — causes insomnia and anxiety) or Northwest (causes instability — frequent travel and relationship issues).
This is one of the most critical and most ignored Vastu tips. Earth's magnetic field runs from North to South pole. When you sleep with head toward North, your body's iron-rich blood is repelled by Earth's magnetic north pole — disrupting sleep quality and causing health problems over time. Sleep with head toward South for deep sleep and health, or East for spiritual growth.
10
No Mirror Facing the Bed — Especially Not Directly
A mirror directly facing the bed is one of the most serious Vastu defects for relationships. Mirrors double whatever they reflect — they "double" the problems in the relationship. They also disturb sleep as the subconscious mind registers the reflection. Cover mirrors with a curtain at night or rearrange so the mirror does not directly face the sleeping position.
11
No TV or Electronics on South Wall of Bedroom
South wall is Mars's (Mangal's) zone — placing electronic devices there increases aggression and restlessness. No TV, laptop or phone charging stations on the South wall of the bedroom. Keep electronics on the North or East wall. Also — never keep a fish tank or indoor fountain in the bedroom — water in the sleeping space drains wealth energy.
🛕 Puja Room & Living Room (Tip 12–15)
12
Puja Room in Northeast — Always
Northeast (Ishaan) is the most sacred direction — it receives maximum divine energy from the convergence of North (Kubera/wealth) and East (Surya/health). This is the ideal location for your puja room or altar. If not possible, a small altar in the Northeast corner of any room works. Never place the puja room in the South, Southwest or bathroom area — this creates serious negative energy.
Puja room ya mandir hamesha Northeast (Eshaan) mein hona chahiye.
13
No Broken Idols or Images of God at Home
This is an extremely common mistake. Any broken, cracked or damaged idol or religious image should be immediately removed from your home — they create negative energy rather than positive blessings. Similarly, never keep images of weeping figures, battles, wild animals (lions, tigers attacking) or sad imagery in your home. Replace with serene, positive artwork.
14
Living Room — Sofa Against South or West Wall
In the living room, the main sofa set should be placed against the South or West wall — this means the family naturally sits facing North or East, attracting prosperity and health. The television should be on the East or North wall. Avoid placing heavy furniture in the Northeast corner of the living room — this blocks divine energy flow.
15
Money Locker — North Wall, Facing North
The family's money locker, safe or almirah should be placed against the North wall, opening toward the North. North is Kubera's (god of wealth) direction — a locker opening toward Kubera's direction symbolically receives his blessings continuously. Never keep the money locker against the South wall or opening toward South — this depletes financial energy.
Paisa ya locker North wall ke paas, North ki taraf opening mein rakho.
🌿 Remedies & Special Tips (Tip 16–21)
16
Remove Clutter — Especially Northeast, North and East
Clutter is the #1 Vastu defect that costs people wealth and opportunities. Clutter blocks energy flow — it traps old, stagnant energy. Northeast, North and East corners must always be light, clean and open. Remove old newspapers, broken items, unused clothes. The rule: if you haven't used it in 6 months and it has no sentimental value — donate or discard it.
17
No Cactus Inside Home — Conflict Plant
Cactus is a thorny plant that creates conflict, arguments and separation energy inside the home. Many families who removed their indoor cactus reported improved relationships within weeks. Other plants to avoid indoors: bonsai (stunts growth — financial and personal), artificial flowers (dead energy), and any plant with sharp, pointed leaves. Best indoor plants: Tulsi (holy basil), money plant, peace lily, bamboo.
18
Never Keep Stopped Clocks — Remove Immediately
A stopped clock represents stagnation — time frozen means your life progress is frozen. Many Vastu consultants find stopped clocks as a common factor in homes where people feel "stuck" in career, finances or relationships. Fix broken clocks within 24 hours or discard them. Also avoid clocks with sad, dark imagery. Keep clocks on the North or East wall.
19
Crystal Bowl of Water in Northeast — Simple Powerful Remedy
Place a crystal or glass bowl filled with clean water in the Northeast corner of your home or living room. Change the water every Monday. This activates the Ishaan (divine) zone and creates a constant flow of fresh, positive energy. Add a few drops of rose water or camphor water for extra purification effect. This is one of iKripa's most recommended easy Vastu remedies.
20
Salt in Corners — Negative Energy Absorber
Place a small bowl of rock salt (sendha namak) in each corner of your home — especially in rooms that feel heavy, depressing or negative. Salt absorbs negative energy like a sponge. Replace it every month. You can also mix salt with water and mop floors — this is a powerful home purification technique used for centuries. After a guest leaves who felt "draining" — immediately mop with saltwater.
21
Camphor Burning — Weekly Energy Cleanse
Burn camphor (kapoor) in every room once a week — especially on Monday or Friday. Camphor smoke is a powerful purifier — it destroys negative ions, eliminates bacteria and clears stagnant energy from corners. After burning, open all windows for 10 minutes to let the old energy out and fresh energy in. This single weekly practice can transform the energy of even the most Vastu-defective home.
Har Somvar ya Shukravar kapoor jalao — ghar ki negative energy saaf hoti hai.
