Main Door as Per Vastu: Vastu Tips for New Home

The main door to every house is the entry point for both good and bad energies. As per Vastu Shastra for House, the ideal location for the entrance is on all the four extreme walls of the house, as these are known to attract wealth and happiness. On the other hand, a wrongly placed door can cause ill-health, financial issues, and various other problems. According to Vastu Padavinyas, the main entrance door of a house is where both energies and air enter. The whole outer space is assigned to 32 different godly energies or Devtas. This system teaches us that the door’s location affects their outcome, depending on the characteristics of the deity that presides over that location. The main door should be auspicious and chosen as prescribed by the Paramsayika Padamandala.

  • The main door should never be in the centre of any direction nor in the four corners.
  • Ensure that the main door and main entrance is the largest among all doors and entrances.

GEOPATHIC STRESS IN HOME – GEOPATHIC STRESS VASTU – GEO VASTU

Geopathic Stress means the negative earth radiations emanating from the Earth, caused by natural geological features or due to human activities. These disturbances in the Earth’s energy field can harm living organisms, including humans, plants and machinery.

In today’s times, many Vastu consultants ignore Geopathic Stress, which is a most important aspect. A Geopathic Stress Audit is necessary for a thorough understanding of the under-earth radiations in the home. Neglecting it can cause negative effects and can be disastrous in the long run.

VastuEnergetics Recommendations:

To improve the earth energies in a Home, VastuEnergetics recommends correcting the Geopathic Stress that affects the earth’s distorted energy fields. By using a Geo-magnetometer and an H3 Antenna, we can detect and fix the energy distortions caused by underground features and due to other reasons. This helps to create a harmonious and healthy environment.

Things to Avoid in Every Home

Avoid placing heavy objects in the centre of the house which is called the Brahmasthaan. Beams and columns are also a strict no in this region. Never have a toilet or staircase in the Centre or Northeast. Cuts and Extensions to be avoided in the Vastu if possible as they give negative results. Avoid staying in close vicinity to Cell phone towers and High-tension Cables. Do not keep broken, cracked objects in the house.
