Vastu supports those whose karma is good; it is not everything. Its results depend on four controlling factors: dravya (substance), kshetra (place), kaal (time) and bhaav (intention).
Interior vastu grids every room from its own centre, in addition to the house grid, and places items by the room's own zones; in a kitchen the deciding point is where the fire burns.
Choose the platform colour by the kitchen's zone and use ivory with orange for the floor and ivory with pista green for the walls and cabinets; the correct platform colour alone removes about 25 percent of a wrongly placed kitchen's dosh.
Rules to avoid in kitchen design: no south-facing door, no doorless or open kitchen, no central platform, no mirrors or water artifacts, no toilet on any of its six sides and no well, borewell or tank above or below.
The kitchen is the fire element ruled by Mars. It is best in SE, then SSE, then West and NW; SW, NE and North are dangerous, and every other zone gives its own result.
Make the platform L-shaped or I-shaped, never U-shaped, and keep the burner on stone; ceramic tile is very good, synthetic quartz, marble and steel are acceptable, while laminate, wood and black stone are not.
The kitchen is the most important part of the house because the food made there shapes the mind, thoughts and blood of everyone; its old name chauka means a place of four purities.
A picture changes the mind, so a painting can create a dosh. A painting of a tree, mountain, river, road or pillar facing the main door acts as a dwar vedh, water scenes do not belong on South, West or SW walls, and mountain scenes do not belong on the North wall.
Grid the kitchen from its own centre and place items by zone: the refrigerator in SE, South, West or ideally NW, spices in the South, knives and cutlery in the SW, drinking water in NNE or ENE and the vegetable basket in the East.
The human body, imagined facing East, is built like the Vastu Purush Mandal, and the position of each body function shows where the matching part of a house belongs.
Four positions are forbidden for a toilet whatever the zone: the Brahmasthan, directly opposite the main door, directly opposite the kitchen and under the staircase.
Because their land energy is high. Land energy decides about 70 percent of the result, so on strongly energetic land even an opposite orientation does little harm, while on obstructed or cursed land no orientation helps.
It can be made on kitchen tiles, but a whitewashed surface is a must for the test. Make it in the earth (prithvi) tatva of Surya swar.
No, this idea is wrong and should be removed from the mind. An element's own zone can bear any amount of that element: kitchens burn daily in the South-East, factories run furnaces there day and night, and a plant in Goa melts quartz in its South-East without such problems; high mountains in the South-West only strengthen the earth element there.
Shikhi sits there and the spot holds heat and fire, so a house door at E1 can cause fire incidents and accidents. A boundary-wall gate is allowed, being in the pishach bhoomi, and so is the door of a temple or other religious building, a school or a college, because such buildings represent Jupiter and become the yogi's own home. A kitchen at Shikhi keeps health poor and brings memory loss, money problems, anger, indecision and a blocked mind, and a toilet there in the North-East stops vansh vriddhi (growth of the family line).
Decide room by room. In your own bedroom use the materials of your exalted planet and not of your debilitated one; your daughter's bedroom is designed from her kundli. The house facing and common areas such as the drawing room and kitchen are decided from the grih swami's kundli. Many people make the master bedroom in the South-West by default, which is wrong when Rahu is debilitated: such people suffered there and got very good results after moving to another direction.
No. In practice even very tall chimneys in the SE showed no dosh, because the fire element always goes upward, as swar vigyan also shows; a rising chimney suits fire.
Just as a kitchen can sometimes be in the East, it can be in the West: when Varun devta rains he also throws sparks of fire and lightning, so fire is not foreign to the West.
Sagun is a swar vigyan technique that is learnt fully only in the complete swar training; in brief, the lamp is lit while holding the breath. A lamp lit in sagun burns far longer: a 100 g ghee lamp lit on Dussehra burned for 10 to 12 days and a 10 g lamp has burned for 27 days, so a desi cow ghee lamp in the South-East of the kitchen needs only 25 to 50 g of ghee a day. A conch blown in sagun while holding a wish drives all negative energy out of the house.
Chauka means the place of four kinds of purity: of mind, speech, body and food (man, vachan, kaya and aahar). The kitchen was the place where the one cooking kept all four pure; today hardly any of these purities remains.
The Sun's sweet morning rays carry an energy composition that mixes into the food and gives it taste, quality, minerals, vitamins and protein, so turning your back to the Sun while cooking is considered a great curse of the kitchen. Wherever the kitchen is, shift the burner to the South-East of the kitchen and make the cook face East; if East is not possible face North, but never face West.
Cold is produced from heat and a refrigerator cannot run without fire, so it can be placed in the South-East of the kitchen. Using the kitchen's own grid, it can also go in the West, and the North-West is ideal according to astrology.
The kitchen is fire, and a person standing at an L-shaped platform forms a triangle, the shape of fire. A U-shape forms the water element, a wavy, moon-like structure, and in homes with moon-like structures the health of women stays poor.
