Vastu Shastra Tips

When sitting for worship, keep your face towards the North-West, and sit in that corner to take in air from that direction. 

Cash boxes can be located in the room towards the North (treasury). But if the box is heavy (such as a safe, heavy almirah) then it should be kept in the South west corner and the door of the almirah should open towards the North.


TVs and computers should ideally be placed in the Southeast corner of the living room or study room. They should not be placed in the Northeast corner or Southwest corner.


Telephones can be placed in the Southeast or North west corner but not in the Southwest or Northeast.


An aquarium with 9 gold fish and one black fish, in the north east corner/portion of the house or factory is very good.
