With Young Indian taking up the start-up culture, a lot of new businesses are mushrooming in our cities. While the entrepreneurs are working hard to create a niche for themselves, our Ancient sciences can help them achieve success faster. Vastu Shastra is a science that deals with construction and architecture. It is a part of Vastu Vidya, and when applied with ‘Atharvaveda’ (Economics), which lays the guidelines for architecture, design and construction , it can play a pivotal role in writing the success story of small and large businesses. Here are some Vastu tips for the success of your business:
Choosing the perfect Plot -
Shermnukhi plots are the best if you are looking for land for your office, factory or any other commercial use. These plots are broader from front and narrow at the end. Also try to purchase land close to roads that are highly operational.
Science behind it - Wider plot offer larger frontage , for display and atrracting clients. Accessibility of your brick and mortar business unit puts it on the radar.
Building Orientation-
Office building should face north, north-east or north-west direction as it brings good luck and positive energy.
Science behind it - North light is glare free and available throughout the day, thus keeping your electricity bills low by natural daylight.
Office Entrance-
The main door or entrance of the office building should face east or north direction. Do not place anything that creates obstacle close to or in front of main entrance. Welcome room of business houses should be located in the east direction or the north-east corner of the business houses or offices.
Scientific explanation - East and North have morning sunrays, which helps disinfect bacteria and is welcoming in the morning when business starts.
Who, where, why ..? Seating Arrangement and office layout 1. Keep the central part of office building empty. 2. Owner chamber should be in south-west direction and he or she should sit facing north. Do not place temple or idols behind the owner’s seat. There should be a concrete wall behind owner’s seat and not any glass structure. His or her desk should be rectangular.
3.Staff should work facing the north or east directions. 4. To ensure a strong financial support system, free the north-west (NW) zone of the business house from anti-elements and activities. Do not build toilet in this zone as it will hamper the financial support. Since white horses symbolize financial support, they can be placed in NW zone.
5. Accounts department should be in the north and east zone and employees dealing with bank and cash transaction should sit facing east and north direction. All the financial records should be kept in central north or southwest of the cabinet. 6. Businesses work on payments and new orders. With the help of Vastu you can make this process smoother. Do not build pantry or paint the north zone in red or pink. Similarly, free the south-east zone from blue colour and use green plants. 7. Conference room should be placed in the north-west direction. 8. You can place an aquarium with nine goldfish and one blackfish in the North-East direction. 9. Desks or workstations should be rectangular or square but not L-shaped. Any irregular shape creates confusion and should be avoided 10. All the electrical equipment should be placed in the south-east direction of the office building. 11. If your business is related to manufacturing, it should start from south and then move towards north and west before reaching east.
Scientific explanation - As an ancient science, iVastu Shastra describes principles of design, layout, space arrangement and spatial geometry. Rules of Vastu Shashtra are observed by balancing the five elements of environment – ‘Panchabhutas’ (Water, Fire, Earth, Air, and Space). These rules define the directions and state what to place where and what should be avoided for the growth and prosperity of business. North-East is for water, hence should have blue colour and aquarium. South west is Agni- hence should be red. It helps owner develop leadership skills, just like Agni.
Cultivating Positive Energy - Dos and Donts
1. Entrepreneurs and businessmen should not sleep at the desk as it creates negative energy.
2.Keep your desks clutter-free. Keep papers and books locked away. Sort out documents according to their importance. Also, broken stationery should be discarded to remove obstacles to financial prosperity.
3.Employees must ensure that their backs never face a door in their cabins as it will prohibit them from seeing people enter. This could foster distrust at work, according to Vastu Shastra. In order to win the trust of colleagues, place a picture with a mountain scenery behind the chair seat as it fosters support. You can also place a turquoise pyramid on the desk to foster better communication with peers
Science behind it - Sleeping at desk would mean that the owner is not rested for the challenges ahead. Having an unorganised and sloppy desk creates negativity in your way of thinking. Having a clean desk, and green plants positively affects your psyche and encourages you to win everyday.
