|
| Sun and Moon |
 |
When the plot is divided diagonally equal in two parts the part on the North-East is the 'Sun' part whereas that on the South-West side is the 'Moon' part. The sun side should be lower, brighter and lighter and moon side should be higher, darker and heavier |
|
| Five Elements |
 |
The whole world including our body is made up of 5 essential elements i.e. earth, water, fire, air and space. Vastu is nothing but the science of balancing of the above five elements in proportion, to keep the residents of the house, in perfect harmony for right decisions, peace and happiness. |
|
| Eight Directions |
 |
There are four main directions but even the four sub-directions are equally important. These sectors help us in the designing of the house and placement of kitchen, Puja room,dining room etc. because every direction has its own importance in Vastu-Shastra. |
|
| The plot is distributed into 9x9 grids making 81 |

| Vastu-Purush |
According to a story in Matsya - Puran, Vastu-Purusha was created from a sweat drop of Lord-Shiva. Vastu-Purusha was cruel, horrifying and devoured everything on his way. When he was granted the boon of eating anything from the three worlds by Lord Shiva. All deities were terrified. So they collectively caught hold of the Vastu-Purusha and threw him to the ground with face downwards, head in north-east and feet in south-west. 45 deities held his body, 13 from within and 32 from outside his body area. The names and relative positions of all 45 deities is given in the chart. |

| Brahmasthala |
Brahmasthala is the center of the square plot. The center of any object or place is very important. The nucleus of cell, the fulcrum of the lever etc. are some examples of important center points. Brahmasthala is therefore an important factor to be considered in Vastu, while constructing a house or any other building. The energy lines running through the center are also equally important. In ancient times, people knew the importance of Brahmasthala and so temples, deities, courtyards, holy tulsi plants etc. were located in the center of village, house or palaces. Every morning for charging the center a pooja of Tulsi was done. This central part or Brahmasthala is located in the central nine squares of the 81 grid plan of Vastu Mandala. It is located around the navel of Vastu-Purush.
In Vastu, it is believed that if the Brahamasthala is 'hurt' by fixing of nails, pillars, pegs, heavy objects etc. then the owner will be in trouble. So Brahmasthala, being one of the very important parts in a building, has to be safe-guarded. |
