VASTHU SASTRA ARTICLE ABOUT QI FOR A PIECE OF PROPERTY

Let the qi work for you
ANCIENT SECRETS
By T.SELVA

When picking a piece of property, it’s best to follow the flow of positive energy around it.
THOSE who design and build their properties following Vasthu Sastra principles can be assured of harmonious living because the Indian science of construction is result-oriented.
It’s vital to choose the right property based on compass direction and not on gut feelings, so that home owners can benefit from the flow of positive qi or energy.
Research has shown that challenges concerning finance, health, and relationships can be traced to the poor orientation of a person’s house. Several people who have reorganised the placement of things in their homes because they are experiencing problems, have reported improved benefits.
To help potential buyers choose an auspicious piece of property at The Star Property Fair 2011 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre today, I will focus on the dos and don’ts following Vasthu Sastra recommendations.

The surroundings
When choosing a house, go for a property that is built on flat land because land that is elevated or depressed can distort the flow of energy, depending on the direction the elevation or depression faces.
Go for a house that is built on a square or rectangular piece of land. Dismiss corner lots that have cut-outs or bulges in the plot because these make the land shape irregular.
Ensure there are roads on all four sides of the house or row of houses. Avoid purchasing a unit that is located at a T- or a Y-junction because they are inauspicious for living in.
Check the surroundings and avoid properties located close to a place of worship, graveyard or sewage water treatment plant. But having a lake, pond or river in the north-east of the housing site is auspicious.
Ask the developer for the compass direction of the house that you are interested in. Avoid purchasing a unit in which the main door or driveway is located in the south-west because that direction is unfavourable. Having an entrance there will bring financial burdens and health issues to the dwellers.
If you are looking for an apartment or condominium, choose one that is on the fifth floor or below so that you can still be connected to earth energy.
When buying a unit in a high-rise dwelling, ensure that the main door is not located in the south-west, and the toilet and bathroom are not in the south-west and north-east quadrants because it would not be possible to relocate them.

The interior
Don’t be overwhelmed by the facade or buildup of the house; instead, look at the placement of the facilities at the appropriate locations inside it.

When you look at the floor plan, check whether the kitchen is located in the auspicious south-east (fire corner) or north-west (air corner) of the house.

Look for a house which has the master bedroom in the south-west; that is the master’s corner and should be occupied by the couple that owns the house. Avoid a house that has a toilet or bathroom in the south-west and north-east quadrants because these are considered serious defects in Vasthu and will affect your growth and prosperity.
Also avoid houses that have a staircase in the south-west and north-east quadrants, the two most important sections in the house related to health and wealth.
If you are looking for a semi-detached house, ensure the property has more land in the eastern and northern sides and not in the southern and western sides.

Auspicious date
When you have chosen the property you like following Vasthu, pick an auspicious day to make your booking payment. Do not go on a Tuesday because it is governed by Mars, an aggressive planet, as you will not be able to conduct your transaction smoothly. You can make your payment on a Thursday, which is ruled by Jupiter, Friday (Venus), Wednesday (Mercury) or Monday (Moon).
Happy house hunting!
