Vastu Directions-వాస్తు దిశలు.

• వాస్తు దిశలు - VASTU DIRECTIONS

The orientation of a building is important to save energy and to build a better house design, which would be comfortable for living simultaneously gives positive energy, good health, prosperity and wealth to the occupants. A living place and its direction have a correlation between the rotational scenarios of the planets with respect of north.

There are total eight directions North, South, East, and West are called cardinal directions and the point where any of the two directions meet is called intercardinal or ordinal point like NE, SE, SW, NW. These directions are given a lot of importance in Vastu Shastra as they combine the benefits of two directions in totality.

Our Shastra says if we worship, idolize and honor the Lords of these eight directions, people yield eternal blessings in the form of success, health, and prosperity. We will now examine their importance according to scriptures.
