hope the last issue has helped a lot of

Chartered Accountants to understand the
basic vastu principles which can bring better
prospects, opportunities and harmony with the
natural forces surrounding us. In this issue I shall
take up the case study of a manufacturing unit. It
is also my advice to you that do not try to guide
yourself completely through books on Vastu
Shastra. Here I am sharing with you what I call revolutionary vastu which is not bookish knowledge but based on scientific reasons, logic, mythology and experience.
The Main Entrancee of the factory will depend on
the road which is available to the plot. However,
East, North, North East and North West are the
directions you should look for. The main gate
should be accompanied by a small gate besides it. For
security reasons mostly these gates are made of

metal grills. However,

the name-plate of
the organisation and
address should be

on a wooden board
printed in colours of
prosperity like orange, yellow and
S
green.
Decision Makers Officee is the most important
consideration. I am explaining here two different
vastu guidelines. One of these is based on the common belief among all vastu practitioners and laymen and the other is what I call revolutionary
vastu. Firstly, as per the common belief, the decision makers should sit in the South-West, facing
the North or East - see fig. 1.1. The new thought is
that the office of the proprietor should be towards

the West/North-West, so that he should face the

East see fig. 1.2 or in the North direction and also

ner or towards this corner. This will facilitate the

quick turnover of goods.

facing the North see fig. 1.3. Energy in the North

is always more positive and better than the South.
Hence, both the factors towards which direction
you sit, and towards which direction you face,
should be considered.
Machinery
y would include manufacturing equipment which either consumes high amount of electricity or is ancillary to the production process.
Equipment like furnace,
N
heating equipment,
boiler, heaters, and gen1.4
erators should be placed
W
E in the South East area of
the premises. Its the fire
corner and will ensure efficient usage of these
S
equipments and lower
breakdowns (coloured Red in fig. 1.4). Other machinery, which is low on power consumption but
heavy should be placed in the South or South-West
area of the factory. These corners are capable of
handling more weight. Also, it should be borne in
mind that the walls of the factory, particularly in
South and West, should be of a slightly higher width
than the others (coloured Orange in fig. 1.4)
Raw Material and Finished Goodss both will
have a different place in the factory. All kinds of
raw materials can be placed in the South/ West
or South-West corners
of the factory. They can
N
also be placed outside

of the factory in sheds
or store rooms. ComW
E pletely finished goods,
which are ready for
sale, should be placed
S
in the North-West cor-

Canteen/ Toiletss can be in the West zone.
Direction of Production for Finished Goods
will depend on the arrangement of machinery in
the factory and the process by process activities
required in the manufacturing of the product.
This is a difficult task because to arrange all the activities in one line based on vastu guidelines is really not practical in a lot of cases because of the circumstances. However, if this can be done with
ease, it will yield great results in efficiency.
Production process should be ideally from the
South and ending towards the North or alternatively from the West to the North. Here the end
product should come out in the East or North directions.

On the very entrance, the placement of a

vastu dosha yantra after doing its appropriate puja
as per shastras will counter most of the
negative vastu problems in the factory. Also the
usage of a Shri Yantram which has to be energised
and a yantra of the planet which your line of
activity represents should be placed in the
North-East corner of the premises. These divine
yantras are very powerful and have great emphasis when we cannot follow vastu principles by
modifying the premises by a lot of breaking and
making.
