Why are the rules of vastu-shastra necessary for your office?
Nowadays, people spend most of their time working in their offices. Offices are the source of income. And this income ensures a healthy and smooth lifestyle for the employees. In the opinions of vastu experts, the significance of vastu should be more for the building of offices than of building a house or a living space. That is why, it is said that if you religiously follow the rules of vastu, you can open the gates of success for your office.
Some noteworthy tips before establishing an office-
- Which direction should the main entrance gate be? Answer; the main entrance can be in any direction. However, the path and the zone of the premise should be in the right manner. This should be paid special attention to. To know about yours, you should consult a well-known vastu-shastra expert.
- The doors for the cabins should be in accordance with Ucch koti.
- Which colours should your office walls be? There is a principle for that too in vastu. The colours that the wall should have according to its direction, are all predetermined by the ideals of the Science of Architecture( Vastu-shastra). Correspondingly, the colours white, cream and yellow are considered for the walls according to vastu. The scientific theory behind the use of light colours is that it provides mental peace and also circulates positive energy regularly.
- The arrangements for the water stations/coolers in the office should be done in Eshan Kon(the north-east corner); this arrangement will bring great results.
- There should be no obstructions in front of the main entrance of the office such as trees, sewage lines, sludge, place of worship, wells, puddles, electric poles, dump, etc.You should try to avoid such obstructions as it could be a restriction for the flow of positive energy.
- Where should the business owner be positioned in the office? The owner or the MD should be seated in the North or should be facing East; this seating is considered ideal in Vastu. The most important point to note is that the owner/MD should never be seated facing against the entrance. However, according to vastu and astrology, your horoscopes play an important role in deciding the positioning of the owner's space. Therefore, the direction in which the owner should be facing can also depend on the Dasha, Mahadasha, and Antardasha of the position of the Graha (planets).
- The wish of any owner or boss for their company or factory is to prosper day by day. And for his employees to not have any conflicts and co-exist in harmony. For this to happen one should definitely place a Shubh sign, a Lord Ganesh statue, then a Swastika sign, Om, and also an auspicious sign in the main entrance of the office.
- For the development of lawns in offices or commercial complexes, East and North should be preferred. You can also consider West and South for the lawns,however, North should be kept more open when compared with South, the same with East as compared to West. And,for the parking space placement, Vayavya Kon(North-West) and Agni Kon(South- East) should be considered.
- As for electric panels, South- East, North- West and South can be used.
- The disposal of liquids from offices and factories should be done in the direction of North- East(Eshan Kon) . It can also be done towards East and North.
- The quantity and positioning of windows- The windows in offices should never be placed towards Nairitya Kon (South- West )but the rest of the directions are ideal. This particular principle should be applied necessarily in the construction of the office. More windows should be placed in the directions of North and East than in south. The least number of windows should be facing South. The number of windows should be even in number.
Note: If the Rahu is stronger of the owner of the office, then it is beneficial to have the opening towards the South. And if Shani (Saturn) is stronger then the west direction can be used too.
