Construction Vastu

Water level means that a surface lies at one equal level throughout, perfectly flat, as shown by the bubble of a spirit level. The plinth beam, main door threshold, bed, toilet seat, tijori, study table and machines should all be at water level so that the gravitational force acts correctly. A spirit level is easy to buy and is also available on mobile phones; a practical demonstration is given in the next class.

This is taught while preparing maps: for summer, the rainy season and winter, the particular angle at which the rays strike and their composition are worked out, so that openings and walls can be planned for the maximum benefit without demolition.

Yes, all rooms should be at one level. A slope toward the North-East causes no problem, because the earth itself is tilted about 23.4 degrees toward the North-East and following nature counts as level; a slope in any other direction causes trouble.

Yes, lowering the floor level in the North-East causes no problem.

Fly ash bricks, the grey, cement-coloured bricks made from ash, which are now widely used, for example throughout a large medical college project of about 1000 flats. They create a large Vastu defect, because Vastu lies in the material as well as in the direction.

It is the structure built below road level when a house is first dug out: the foundation, also called neev, bunyaad or daasa. The plot's shape is read from it.

Yes. Extending the North-East of the land from the foundation enlarges the place of its devta, who is pleased just as a person is with a bigger room, and it does not bring a South-East negative. But what truly counts as an extended North-East is taught later, because many people extend it the wrong way, for example from the East toward the North-East, and harm themselves.

From the foundation: the outline of the foundation and plinth beam of the outermost walls, joining all the corners into a square, rectangle or other form. The geopathic current under the ground runs in that shape, so projections above ground do not change it, while an irregular foundation stays irregular even if right angles are built above it.

Keeping it open on all floors is excellent. If that is not possible, a double height open at the Brahmasthan, for example about 20 ft, still balances the space element even if it is closed above. A survey found that houses with a double height at the Brahmasthan had more happiness and peace.

Every house used to have ventilators at the top of the walls, which balanced the air element. They have been brought down into the windows, and since the ventilator location changed even a ten-year-old child argues back. Keep the air element balanced with proper doors, windows, top ventilation and cross-ventilation.

Only the area that is actually built on that floor.

Where to construct is taught later; for example, on a North-facing plot the building is placed in the South and West part. The pishach bhoomi is always left open on all sides. People abroad leave space all around and keep large backyards and live prosperously, while many people here leave no space at all for energy to come in.
