Also known asNWvayavya kon
The corners of a plot are its biggest sources of energy, and energy flows diagonally from corner to corner through the brahmasthan like a highway. Piling or filling a huge mass over a whole corner zone creates a serious defect.
In Vedic vastu (not feng shui) the air element has a flag-like shape, green colour, North-West location and kansa (bell metal) as its metal; the main door, windows, balcony, garden, plants and floor-to-slab height represent it.
The North-West is the Moon's location; a big TV (Mars) placed there with a black horse statue on top formed a destructive Angarak yoga with Rahu, bringing accidents, fire and deaths.
In Vedic vastu the water element runs from NNE through NE to East, fire from East to about South, earth from South to before West, and air from West to before North. The space element sits in the Brahmasthan.
A lift belongs to the fire element; its pit may be dug in ESE and SE, but from SSE onward only a pitless lift is allowed. The lift zones named are ESE and, best of all, WNW and NW, then SE; SSE only pitless, NNW only in an emergency and never the North.
NW brings prana and fresh air and pushes stale air out, so cross ventilation is a must; the teacher calls it the gateway (get-away) zone. It is a natural fridge for storing grain and the Moon's place, which makes it the ideal zone for the overhead tank.
The overhead tank belongs in the NW, the Moon's place, or in Varun's West. Most people wrongly build it in the SW, which is dry Rahu-Ketu territory with very intense infrared.
A bedroom zone is chosen by the occupant's planets: an exalted planet makes its zone favourable and a debilitated one makes it harmful. Key checks are Sun for East, Venus for SE, Mars for South, Rahu-Ketu for SW, Saturn for West, Moon for NW, Mercury for North and Jupiter for NE.
Vedic vastu never put toilets inside the house; today they go where positive energy ends. SSW is the main toilet zone, WNW and a well-ventilated NW are acceptable, ESE only in an emergency with a south-facing seat, and a toilet in any energy zone such as the NE brings serious harm.
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.
Appliances that run on electricity represent the fire element, so the washing machine, inverter, electric meter, AC and cooler go in the SE, ESE, SSE or NW, while the TV goes where viewers face North.
Zone-by-zone results of a toilet: SSW and WNW are workable, NW and ESE only in an emergency, and every other zone damages what that zone governs.
In the North, N3 brings sons and wealth, N4 (Bhallat) is the best of all 32 doors with windfall wealth, and N5 gives wealth with dharma and fame. N1, N2, N6, N7 and N8 bring suffering, enemies, family stress, faults in women and poverty.
In the West, W4 (Pushpadant) showers wealth and W5 (Varun) also gives wealth, while W1, W2, W3, W6, W7 and W8 bring short life, overspending, loss of money, government trouble, disease and a destructive mind.
A ceiling's shape brings its element into the room, so ceilings are shaped by zone: half-moon in water zones, a round dome at the Brahmasthan, a rectangle in South and West bedrooms, and never a triangle.
The belief that the North-West, West or South-West must have no greenery is wrong: plants can go in every direction, and a vastu expert should never get a tree cut but should plant auspicious trees beside it instead.
The North-West is the seat of the Moon and of Vayu (air). Its interior uses white and ivory, pearls, white stone and a little white marble, pictures of water creatures and the full Moon, and moon-loving plants.
The mirror is one of the eight mangal items (ashtamangal) and is considered the best of them; it drives away negative energy and reflects energy when placed in the right direction. It represents the water element and the Moon, so it belongs on the North or East wall.
Use green colour and a flag-like pattern: put up a flag (dhwaj) in the North-West and, if possible, open the North-West with a window; this brings at least some balance. Swar vigyan can do still more without expense or demolition.
A five-element (panch tatva) flag.
Balance the air element of the house.
The colour on the chakra is the colour of the devta of that zone, not of the element; the North devtas are shown in red, for example, which is not a colour to paint there. The air element has both green and blue as its colours.
No, a swimming pool in the North-West is not good; only one built above floor level is acceptable there.
The underground drainage line should run from the South-West towards the North-West, that is clockwise, and leave the plot at the North-West; that is good.
Yes, but only if it includes the WNW portion, for example 70% in WNW and 25 to 30% in NW. It then gives the results of WNW.
Yes. Above floor level it works in the North and in the North-West, and in the North-West it can also be built high up like an overhead tank. A tank at ground floor that is raised, with no pit, is acceptable.
Not in NNW. An overhead tank can be built from the West up to the North-West; making it in the South-West, as many people do, is wrong. Build it in the North-West.
Only if the stairs are in the North-West; otherwise not. Basically an overhead tank should not be built over the stairs, because hydro currents move as you walk below it and the mind becomes unsettled.
For a north-facing entrance, make the shoe rack toward the North-West; for an east-facing entrance, toward the East-South-East. If neither is possible, put muscovite (abhrak) under the rack wherever it stands and make it of wood, not metal, because bacteria run on metal, as corona showed.
Yes, not just bad but very bad; the North-West entrance will have to be closed.
