Importance of North East Direction in Vastu Shastra


Importance of North East Direction in Vastu Shastra

Everything that happens in nature affects the life of human knowingly or unknowingly. The cosmic rays from the sun, moon and other planets also have an effect on the human body. Out of the eight directions, the North-east has special importance. The sun rises from the East, moves towards the North and sets in the West. The early morning rays are auspicious and must fall on the land we live on.

These rays, to a great extent, are absorbed by water; therefore it is beneficial to have wells and underground water tanks in the North-East direction. There should be no constructions in this direction since the auspicious rays would be obstructed. This corner of the plot should be depressed either naturally or artificially.

The treatises like “Vishwakarma Prakash” attribute special importance to the ishana angle (the northeast direction) in the selection and architectural map of the plot, construction of the house (building) and even the exterior and interior structure and settings of the rooms. This direction is regarded as highly surcharged with divine energies. This is temples, shrines and devotional meditation centers/rooms should be constructed in the northeast corner. As the Sun rises from the East, one naturally gets maximum (vital) energy from it in this direction. The northeast direction is enriched with the confluence of this energy pool with the magnetic and subtler energy currents of the earth and the etheric hole. The rishis, the Indian sages of Vedic Age had mastered this knowledge. This is why the sacred pilgrimage centers and ashrams of spiritual training in the ancient times were established in this direction near the holy rivers. We can still feel the distinctly enchanting, energizing and enlightening ambience at such sites.

Modern scientists are well aware of the vital role of the heat, light and enormous kinds of energy radiations sent by the Sun on the earth. These are the determinants of the atmospheric and other changes, energy balances and natural phenomena on the earth. Although under a different approach and in a different language, the principles and theories of Vastu Shastra thoroughly take into account these interconnected effects together with the geological and geophysical aspects. The manifestations of God or the divine powers described in the vastu chakra and invited and worshipped during the ceremony of Vastu Pooja are mostly the invocations of the energy currents and forces emanating/radiating from the Sun.
India is the land instinct with sanctity and religious rituals. Spiritual energy is actively pervading in its sublime environment, in every aspect of its culture. This is why the Vedic knowledge of vastu is also associated with religious rituals here. Thus adoption of the principles and disciplines of Vastu Shastra also helps in spiritual endeavors and growth. Many pilgrimages have been the source of attraction and uplifting experiences for millions of devotees and visitors from different parts of the globe since immemorial times. The shrines built as per the Vastu-instructions are said to work like (small or big) reservoirs of cosmic energy. This explains the emphasis laid in the Indian cultural customs upon preserving at least one room or corner of the house (in the appropriate direction) for home-temple.

As the home-temples or worship-chambers happen to be given paramount importance in a building according to Vastu Shastra, the north-east corner being the principle axis of the location of the former also gets a prominent role in archeology. The east and the north directions are of significance in the Indian culture. The Vedic literature refers to the sun as the “soul of the world” and it is also regarded as the source of vital power and health. The sun rises in the east, therefore meditating on the soothing radiance of the rising Sun in this direction in the early hours of the dawn is of great devotional and spiritual significance. The Vedic scriptures on yoga describe the extrasensory energy centers like the sahastra chakra, brahmrandhra and agya chakra to be subtly located in the north pole (cerebrum region) of our brain. Meditating on the rising sun activates these centers and thus awakens supernatural talents and powers.

The northeast direction is referred to as a sacred direction in Vastu Shastra. We should also maintain a state of cleanliness and purity in this direction in our house and workplace. No heavy item should be kept in this direction, and should also avoid keeping a broomstick or any other sanitary item there. If not used for any devotional purposes, this corner (direction in the house) may be left clean and empty even if it happens to be located in the living room or the bedroom. Keeping dirt and debris in this corner of the house is said to attract malevolent effects such as difficulties, losses, tensions in personal relationships etc. We should not forget that our rishis had taken a full measure of the dimensions and limitations of human life and had provided humanly practical remedies against challenges of destiny or circumstances. Likewise, they have also laid down guidelines to minimize or eliminate the negative effects, if any, of having a house designed against the Vastu principles.
It is important that any defect at the north east should be attended immediately. Various remedies like zinc helix , vastu mangal kalash,   are available for this cooling zone. Also applying the counter remedies at the opposite zone i.e. lead metal pyramid,  lead helix will also help in harmonizing the energy.

I was curious to know if having a staircase right in front of the main door is bad

Vastuplus said...

Main door with Staircase at east or north going downward is auspicious

sameer said...

i live in a flat. the main door is west facing. the wooden door is south-west opening. it is opening in clockwise form. what do u think can some one do to improve positive energy in the flat/home

Vastuplus said...

Dear Mr. samir

DOor at south west falls in "Major Vastu fault" catagory. Yes, it can be corrected with vastu remedies.

Manshul said...

Ajit said...

Sir,
We moved into a rented flat 5 Yrs back whose entrance is facing SW.

Since the time we have moved my elder son is having ill health.

Request if you can suggest ways to counter the negative energy.

Thanks

Hello,

We suggest you to go for detail vastu consultation. There are some ractices and techniques which helps you to energize the counter direction to compensate the vastu defect on opposite direction Meanwhile we suggest you to place two copper swastika above the main door with dkashin mukhay yantra in centre.

Is it ok to have staircase opp to main door of d house.

Rahul said...

Hello Sir,
I am planning to buy a house which is north-east facing. I can also enter the home using garage which is east facing. My question is, I have exit door in the basement at south-west corner - is that okay per vastu or do I need any remedy. Also, we will be using basement more for a storage and not for living or recreating. Is it okay to have south-west exit which is not the main door.

Thanks in Advance.

Vastuplus said...

Hello,

Exit at south west should be avoided. As per vastu basement should be avoided at south west side

Srini said...

Hello SIr,
I am looking at a house in a plot located at northeast corner in USA. Like every corner plot, the northeast is rounded off. Is it good to purchase the house on this plot? If its not are there any remedies that we can apply to rectify the defects....

Unknown said...

Hi Sir,
I have two questions. My front door is 320 NW. Is that okay??
I am keeping two statue of elephant each side of my frontdoor outside the house. Is this correct according to vastu??

Vastuplus said...

Hello Srini

Curve at north-east means not good as per vastu. Its type -1 fault. There are no simple remedies. Consult vastu expert to align all element as per vastu. Missing element need to harmonize with counter element's energy.

Vastuplus said...

Hello Sangeeta Srivastava,

320 NW is at north of north west. Not a positive door. Metal elephants are better here.

Rahul said...

Hello Sir,
Thanks for your quick reply. I understand there should not be any exit at SW, but I am not sure if this applies to the BASEMENT where we do not live. Also, please note that in USA (northeast part of the country), it is hard to find a property without the basement. Also, please note that there is a SE exit on the floor where we live. Can you please confirm that SW exit in this scenario still not good. If we buy this house, do you recommend that we seal that basement exit and build the wall?

Unknown said...

Hi sir
Is it good to have main door in North East position
What r good & bad effects of it.

Vastuplus said...

Dear Mr. Rane

Door at north east is auspicious but it should be located in the auspicious zone as per vastu grid. It bring prosperity, success, fame and sound health if located correctly.

Unknown said...

Sir
Our house north east flooring is at height higher than south east and west. PL. suggest some remedy

Unknown said...

Dear Sir,

Kindly suggest whether main gate facing stairs in upwards direction is OK?

Vastuplus said...

Hello Vandana,

Higher north east is a major vastu defect. It creates obstacles in career and business. We suggest to enhance earth element by placing a 9 lead pyramid at south west. Also improve water element by putting a vastu mangal kalasha at north east. We suggest if you can lower the north-east which is much much more effective.

Vastuplus said...

Staircase opposite the door at west or south are considered good as per vastu

Unknown said...

HI Sir,

If we living in rented flat or house vastu will affect ?

Thank you in advance !

Vastuplus said...

Hello Mr. Ravi

Vastu is applicable to rented house also

Unknown said...

Sir
My flat is a perfect rectangle with north and east open. But my balcony is extending out of the flat from the centre of the northern wall . So does that make my flat north east and North west cut. The balcony is not on the foundation of the building . It is extending out and not within the building
Thanks in advance for ur reply
Nilesh

Vastuplus said...

This is not a defect. Do not make this balcony a part of any room. Do not remove wall of balcony to include in the room.

Unknown said...

Thanks a lot sir

Unknown said...

I just followed your replies to other which is very clear

Unknown said...

Sir,
I am taking a house for business facing north and entrance is at north east and building is having two roads facing north and west but west side having t junction veedhishula totally west side road with is about 60 ft and opposite veedhi shula road is about 80 ft which covers totally as veedhishula for the bulding width as west side is 40 ft. Pls suggest me is it good for me to start a business in such a building . I am taking my portion for rent in 3 rd floor facing north and entrance at north east. Pls advice me thanks.

Vastuplus said...

Hello,
What is the exact compass degree of veedhi shoola you are referring to the west. T junction and veedhi shoola are different things and has a different type of effects.

HB said...

Sir
While looking for East facing enterance in an apartment. Should it be east while entering in the house or East while going (exiting) out of the main door.

Vastuplus said...

East should be while going out of the main door i.e. east is outside and west is inside

Unknown said...

Stairs in my house goes towards NE direction. Is there any remedy for it. Can you suggest.

Vastuplus said...

Staircase at north-east obstructs the auspicious energy for the home. Use vastu pyramid shift arrow. Also enhance this zone by placing a water pyramids. Any defect at north-east falls in "major Vastu defect" catagory.

Unknown said...

Our medical shop is facing road directly in south direction .is it effects my shop? Plz suggest me

Unknown said...

Our medical shop is facing exactly opposite to the road .is it effects my medical shop plz suggest me

Unknown said...

Dear Vastuplus,
I am thinking of buying a home which faces North East. I would be grateful if you can help answer my two questions -
1) My confusion is once i enter the door of the home, which side should be considered as south west for the master bedroom? Should it be southwest as shown in the compass (which means southwest direction of the earth's magnetic field - this would be diagonally opposite to the North east entry of the home)

2) If there is an attached bathroom and an attached walk in closet, would that be considered as part of the master bedroom?

Vastuplus said...

Please note that south facing is not always bad. Location of main door in the auspicious zone in south grid is very important. Also exact location of road /T junction/ Veedhi shoola important to answer your query

Vastuplus said...

Yes compass direction showing south west is ideal for master bed room. It is exactly opposite to north east. We consider location of bathroom taking in to consideration entire layout and not with the master bed room.

deepthi said...

Sir, my home is east direction , opposite to it we have God's Room in the North east, can we keep Diwan furniture in North East corner in b/w God's Room and Main entrance. Please suggest

Vastuplus said...

Vastu recommends open space in the north east. Placing a diwan in north east will obstruct the flow of cosmic vibes to the house.

Unknown said...

Dear Sir

I am thinking of buying a house which faces North East direction (47 degree NE) in the compass. In this case, how can i find out which is the south west corner where master bedroom should be located? Also which should be the North East corner of the house where puja room should be located?

Thank you for your advice

Vastuplus said...

Your compass will show the exact direction of south west at 135 degree for master bed room and 45 degree for north east corner.

Unknown said...

Thank you for the quick reply, sir
You mentioned north east corner is where compass shows as 45 deg. Since the front door of the house points to that 45 degree, should i consider front entrance of home as North East? Is there a pada in North East where it is ideal for the front door to be placed?

Vastuplus said...

Mark centre of your home and take compass reading. It will show you exact north-east zone. For rest of queries consult team vastuplus on info@vastuplus.com

Radhika Datla said...

Dear sir, we are newly renting a west facing flat where all north-East corners of that flat are with full of cupboards. I am so worried to keep anything in those cupboards. Better to leave the flat to avoid future problems??

Vastuplus said...

Shift your cupboard from north east to south-west. Why leave a flat when shifting can be done. Hope rest of things are placed as per vastu

Radhika Datla said...

Thank you very much Sir! However, we have to convince our owner to move them to southwest corner. We will try sir! Thank you once again

Unknown said...

Dear sir : we are buying a plot which is east facing
Directly opposite it is a dead seevice lane. Ot looks to any person as a t point. How ever the service lane is closed and not in use.

Is there any harm or vasstu issues related to the plot

Vastuplus said...

Even if it not used, T junction is harmful as per vastu

MANJU KIRAN said...

hello Sir,

I am resident of the northeast corner plot, like every other plot in usa the corner plot/site is rounded off. however the house is at right angle. and we have room in the northeast corner which we have made a prayer room. and is kept as clean as possible. You have mentioned that having the roundoff corner is type-1 fault. I understand that the roundoff will have effect on male members of the family. But having the house in right angle and the prayer room could we overcome the effects of the roundoff ??. Please let me know.

Thank you,
Manju

Vastuplus said...

Nothing to worry if house is in right angle.

Unknown said...

Hello Sir,
I am in US and planning to buy a house. I am attaching the house layout. The house is constructed on 130 feet long and 50 feet wide lot. The house has a big back lawn. In the front there is entrance and also a small lawn or brickwork to the garage. The house faces East. There is a room in north east corner that we can make as a prayer room. But if we divide the house in 4 parts and take one quadrant as North East, then certainly there is bath and toiler that falls in that NE quadrant. But that is not the NE corner of the house. I would like to know if that is a problem or not.

Vastuplus said...

Please send your floor plan with direction to anlayse exact location of toilets and a prayer room

Unknown said...

Thank you very much sir. I have sent my floor plan to your email.

BATHULA said...

Hi Sir,

I have a cup board in bedroom(2nd bed room not main bed room) in north east(Ishna) direction. Is it ok to have a cupboard at this direction. Cupboard is fixed to wall.

Thanks in Advance!!

Vastuplus said...

Blocking a north east a harmful. You are blocking a mouth of positive energy sourcing channel.

BATHULA said...

Thank You sir for your reply. As it is rented house i can not change it. If i do not use the cupboard(keeping it empty) or putting some less weight in the cupboard...will the effect be reduced? or still the same. Can you please suggest some measures regarding this...

Vastuplus said...

Reducing a weight will help to certain extent only. To neutralize the impact, place zinc pyramid above the cupbaord

Sri said...

Hello sir,
I am interested in a east facing lot in US. But it has a T road hitting at south of the east side. But the builder is saying that house will be constructed leaving some six foot from south so the road will not hit the house directly. May be edge of the wall may hit a little. Please suggest if it is ok to buy this kind property.

Sri said...

Is it ok to buy a north east facing house or north east facing lot?

Sri said...

The home plan that I chose has a problem if I select a west facing house. It's a duplex plan and vastu in ground floor is good but top floor has all bed rooms and bathrooms. In this case I will get a toilet in upstairs either in north east corner or south east corner. Is the vastu effects are same for both upstairs and down stairs? Please advise.

Vastuplus said...

Hello, Road hitting with T junction at your plot is also a vastu defect (even if it does not hit a house). Yes, north east facing house are good but all placements around and inside the home should be perfectly as per vastu. Many people with north east house has been found serious vastu defects inside the home. Be careful while planning a house internally and externally. North east or south east toilet are again a serious defects. Some shifting from corner at south east is acceptable but not in the north east zone.

Unknown said...

Dear Sir,

We have a east facing plot having two roads one at east and the other at west. The issue is that the road at east has elevation and that on west has depth. Request you to help me know its defect and remedies thereon.

Thanks.

Piyush Kotecha

Vastuplus said...

Yes, this is a major vastu defect and become a reason for your downfall. Send you map /plan on info@vasutplus.com for review and evalauation.

How to correct SOUTH WEST ROAD T JUNCTion...

Vastuplus said...

Few suggestions for south west road T junction :-
Builds wall with lead pyramid concealed in the wall
Wall should be higher and have more width than walls of other directions.
Avoid entrance from the south west
Improve the counter direction i.e. north east with the huge underground water body.
Install natural crystals in the south west corner of your plot (Earth element)
Do not provide any windows at south west zone of the construction area.


Roopasekhar said...

Dear sir,
We r planning to buy a east facing house, with northeast main entrance, but a lift is placed with a common wall to the flat in North East (i.e.just side to main entrance) because its a common wall to flat and lift we are in confusion. Please suggest us can we buy

Vastuplus said...

If you internal arrangement is vastu compliant then lift should not be a problem. Make sure that shape of the house does not have a cut in the north east.
