Vaastushastra for Businesses

The ancient principals of Vaastushastra are deep, practical and scientific. They are as much applicable today as they were thousands of years ago. These principals are equally applicable to commercial establishments as much as residences.

Vastushashtra identifies zones of space-energy according to directions based on the Sun's path. Each zone of space-energy is governed by a ruling planet that lends it's attributes to that particular zone. This knowledge must be used to reap maximum benefits out of the space being utilized. Since the use of space is different in a residence and different in a business setting, some zones gain prominence in a residence but not so in a business facility and vice versa. Broadly the following can be said for businesses, though individual analysis is required for an office vs. hospital and so on. 

NE (Ishanya): This zone is ruled by Jupiter. It facilitates meditation, spiritual progress and imbibes the quality of equanimity. These qualities though valuable in a residence may not be beneficial from business point of view especially if it a commercial establishment. The most important decision making people within an organization should therefore never be in this zone as there will be a lack of leadership and wasted efforts. This is inherently a weak zone for businesses. It is best suited for entrances, reception areas, visitors seating etc. This zone is also perfect for quiet contemplation.

SE (Agneya): This zone is ruled by Venus and is the zone of precision, creative endeavor and focused work. This is a good zone for the accounting department or for general staff of the organization. In a hospital this zone is excellent for minute surgical procedures. This is also a good location for machine rooms, equipment, heaters, boilers etc. For schools and libraries this zone is excellent for labs, practicing precision skills of music and dance. People of literary orientation will create stories with flair from this zone.

SW (Nairutya): This zone is ruled by Uranus (Rahu as per ancient Indian astrologers) and is responsible for financial stability, vision and overall progress of the organization. This is perhaps the most important zone in today's corporate culture. The best position for the head of the company or for anyone making important decisions within the organization should always be SW. This zone is responsible for dynamic long term planning and implementation. A person occupying this corner will always have his/her say within the organization no matter what and others must yield. This is also a good location for lockers.

NW (Vayawya): This zone is ruled by Moon and is responsible for new and almost eccentric ideas. This however is only a zone of ideas and not productivity. The head of an organization occupying this zone will be full of ideas, but without a direction of implementing them. Therefore it is best suitable for conference rooms and marketing department where creative solutions can be thought out for productivity of the business. For a manufacturing facility the ready products should be stocked here so that they move out quickly since the Air element resides here and lends mobility to this zone.
