CONSTRUCTING A NEW BUILDING
It is very important to time the start of the construction.Start excavation and fixing of the main door in :
Chaitra (March-April) -will bring financial loss Vaishaka (April-May) -very auspicious
Jaistha (May-June) -death and unhappiness
Shraavana (July-Aug.) -a healthy family
Bhaadrapada (Aug-Sept.) -disease in the family
Ashwayuja (Sept. –Octo) - family feuds and enmity
Kaarthika (Octo- Nov) -will attract wealth
Maargashira(Nov –Dec) -troubles in fears in daily life
Pushya(Dec-Jan) -destructive fires and troubles
Maagha (Jan-Feb) -good family life
Phaalguna(Feb –Mar) -will gain wealth and fame
Further Mondays,Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays are auscpicious
Avoid black clay soils, as the foundations will be weak.Avoid sites with anthills (fear of termite destruction) , land with big boulders and reclaimed land with loose soil.
Land must be sloping to the North or East.
The site should be at least 50 m away from Shiva Temple and must not be to the left of a Durga temple or behind a Vishnu temple.
Shape of the plot
It must be square or rectangular and the East-West dimension greater than the North –South. Any other polygonal shape is generally inauspicious.
Avoid land that has no ground water.Dig a well in the N-E corner and use the ground water for prosperity.
The North _East corner must never be rounded off in a corner site (at an intersection) to the South West corner may be rounded off.
Direction of roads:
Plots with roads on all sides is the best. Roads must be on the East or the North side.
A water steam that flows from the West to the East is good as far as it is to the North of the site.
RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY:The area of the building in square feet if divided by 8 must leave a reminder on either 1,3,5 or 7.
Old buildings that are damaged by a natural calamity like fire, lightening, rain etc are to be avoided.
Never acquire a house in which a suicide has taken place or a new born baby died or a pregnant lady expired.
Should be sufficiently away from trees whose roots can damage the foundation
Door/windows
The main entrance /door must be from the North or the East. An entrance from the West or South –West is extremely bad.
The number of door and windows must each be an even number.
Columns and beams must also be an even number.
A door must never be in the center of the façade of the house.
If there are 2 doors never have them on the West (main door) and South (side door) , South (main) and West (side) and West main) and North (side).
Pooja Room:
The N-E is the best location. The Deity facing the West and the person offering prayers facing the East is the best.
However, the Deity facingthe East or North is also acceptable. In a multistoried building the prayer room must be on the ground floor.
Bed room:
Ideal location is South or S-W corner. However, the East, N-E and S-E may also be used.
Avoid bedrooms in the Northern side as this will lead the user into financial difficulties.
One must sleep with the head facing the South ideally. However head facing the East is also permissible.
Head facing either the North or the West can be disastrous.
Bathrooms:
Should be to the East or North of the bedrooms.
Toilets :
Should never be in the N-E corner of the Building
Kitchen:
The ideal location is the S-E corner of the building with the cooking platform on the eastern side with the cook facing the East. The N-E corner of the building is also acceptable location for the kitchen.
Staircases:
Must be located as far as possible to the South or S-W portion of the building.
Cellar/basement : Must be to the North or N-E portion of the building
Under ground water tanks: (incl. swimming pools)
Must be in the N-E corner of the plot but never in the S-E corner.
Overhead tanks:
Must be in the S-W corner but never in the North, East or N-E corner.
Selection of the Plot
For any building the site (Kshetra) is the basic requirement and utmost care must be taken in it's selection. Normally an Architect or Vaastu Shilpi is brought into the scene only at the designing stage but it is advisable to involve him at the stage of buying the site itself.
In selection of the site the following aspects should be taken care of:
(1) Types of Earth : Earth is classified according to it's colour brick red, dark brown; white, red, yellow, mixed colour, black and also according to their smell, taste, texture, etc., Black and clayey soil is not good for construction and while designing the foundation/footings, the load bearing capacity of the soil should be ascertained. Sites with big boulders, anthills or where murder or burial has taken place and those with loose or filled-up earth should be avoided.
(2) Location and Environment : As far as possible the site should be Ievel or sloping towards North and East or North-East. If it is a small one, which normally is the case in the towns or cities, there should not be any big trees like Aswatha (Peepul), Mango, Banyan, Tamarind etc., whose roots and branches may cause damage to the building. If the site is big then the building area should be sufficiently away from them. Site which has fertile earth, flowering plants, fruit trees, grass etc., is good and sites without the source of ground water should be avoided. Those abutting temples, ashramas, schools, colleges, kalyana mantapas are not advisable for obvious reasons and sites behind Vishnu temple or to the left of Durga temple are also not good and it should be at least 50 meters away from a Shiva temple. [Any site to the South or West of hills shall be rejected, but site to the East or North of hills should be accepted.] This is not possible in aIl the cases.
Attributes of Earth
Surrounded by oceans, the landmasses have heights and depths of mountains, plains and plateaus and are enlivened by veins of rivers and network of streams and lakes. On and beneath the surface of earth lie the soils and minerals in varying degrees that make life infertile or prosperous. The revolution of earth gives us the day and night that regulates the activities of plants and living beings. The tilted rotation of the earth around the sun sets the rhythm of the seasons, which are important for vegetation and harvests. Whether each location is cool or warm is largely determined by it's relative distance from the equator and it's height above the sea level. Climate not only plays a great part in composition of soils but also affects the character of plants, animals and most importantly the man's energy.
Hidden aspects of natural laws give birth to life and for better or for worse, the rules of nature command that life and therefore a close adjustment to the natural background becomes a bare necessity.
The characteristics and composition of soil are very important for two reasons. One is the load-bearing capacity of the soil that defines the type of foundation to be employed, the other is the ability of the land to sustain vegetation. The designer would (traditionally) observe the site for one season at least to ascertain whether the soil is fertile holds water and sustains life forms such as plants, birds and animals. Any soil that is incapable of regeneration would be set-aside as bad for human habitation. From an ecological point of view this analysis is extremely wise and can be added to the responsibilities of the designer.
Testing of selected sites
Testing The Soil
METHOD 1
This involves digging a hole in the plot to be tested of 0.5 metres in width, breadth and depth. The soil taken out is filled again into the hole without any noticeable wastage. There are three results possible in this test. If after filling the pit some balance in soil remains, then the owner of the plot on construction of the factory will enjoy wealth and prosperity.
If the pit is entirely filled with no balance in the excavated soil, then the owner of the plot who constructs a factory on it will have a smooth life and will meet all his commitments in life. However his chances of becoming wealthier or richer is lower.
If the pit cannot be completely filled with the excavated soil, then it is a problematic plot. The owner will suffer physically and mentally and suffer from want of the better things in life. Care should be taken to make sure that the entire soil excavated is carefully retained without wastage till the end of the experiment.
METHOD 2
A pit is excavated in the same dimensions as above (0.5 metre cubed) and it is fiIled with water. Then a person is to walk hundred steps away and return (this was an appropriate technology to measure a small space of time in an era without watches and clocks).
If the level has dropped below one fourth, that is if less than 12.5 em of water is standing, then it is undesirable and the plot will give bad results.
If it is between 12.5 em to 25 em it will give medium results.
If the water level is more than 50 percent, than the plot is one that will provide excellent results. The lesser water that is absorbed the better.
METHOD 3
Dig a pit of fore arm length, breadth and width (approximately the same dimensions as the above experiments) and fill it with water up to the brim just as the sunsets. Just before sunrise the next day check the level. If the water level has dropped only marginally, then the plot will bring excellent results in future.
If the water is 50 percent only, then problems will be faced in completing the factory but things will be okay by the end.
If water is completely dry, problems will abound.
If the pit is fully dry and we find cracks at the bottom, it indicates death and destruction. Such a plot should not be chosen.
Facing of plots is important
Facing of plots is not considered important. There is a wrong notion that north- and east-facing plots are better than south and west-facing plots. This is not true. However, in the case of north- or east-facing plots, half of the plot that lies towards north or east is the sensitive portion. The rear half is dense. Thus the building can come up in the rear half allowing for a front garden. This increases aesthetics as well.
This advantage will not be available if the plot faces an approach road on South or West. Here, the sensitive half is in the rear and the dense portion capable of taking the load of the building is in the front. The building has to come up in the first half facing the road. A owner of such a plot has to reconcile himself for a backyard and garden as he will have less space in the front. If this is acceptable, by all means purchase a west- or south-facing plot.
The problem arises when an owner of a south- or west-facing plot uses the rear half for building and goes for a garden in the front. This will make the subtle energy areas in north and east come under great strain, thus affecting their strength adversely. The dense areas which are in the front are negatively strong and thus the whole structure is placed in a distorted field. Most of the ill-effects ensue because of this problem. So before you purchase a plot decide the first question; would you like a garden and wide open space in the front or the rear?
