Vastu Shastra for South West Direction :

Southwest Direction is also called as Nairuthi Corner. More cautious has to be alerted at this direction, it should not be neglected as it may change entire life that to within a very shortest period.

This is the most important and powerful direction. It is to be observed that while the DEVAS are made as the lords of the other 7 directions, a RAKSHASA or DEMON is made as the lord of this direction by our vaastu shastra. This show the importance and greatness of the direction. The affliction of this direction will bring the most unwanted results very rapidly when compared to the other directions.

Nairuthi Bhagawan, a demon is the owner of this direction. He is the lord of ASURAS (devils) also. He is more powerful than the other lords and bring good or bad results immediately to the occupants. As he is an Asura, he gets angry or become made easily and destroys the enemies instantly. He is highly tempered. He will give bold results whether it is good or bad which have great influences in one’s life. His characters are greediness, stubbornness, domination, cruelty etc., we should be more cautious while handling this direction.

The shastra says that he has one face and two hands. There is a big SWORD in his right hand and a big SHIELD in his left hand. That shows he is ever ready for fighting and slaughtering the enemies. His Devi or wife is called as KALIKA. He rides on a MAN for his movements. He eats raw meat and drinks blood of living things. He harms the occupants happily if this direction is afflicted.

Hence, this direction should not be extended or have more open space. There should not be any well, pit or pond in this direction. This will give disastrous effects on the occupants of the house. This will affect the dignity, wealth and may lead to suicide also. Drug addiction, drunkenness, gambling, etc., the destruction of families is due to the afflictions of SW direction. The characters of males will be ruined. They are susceptible to Karma diseases like Cancer, T.B., AIDS etc.

Those who live in these houses (South-west facing houses) will have more enemies. Enemies will be always very active. If this direction is extended, the girls will cross limits and leave the house. Their chastity will be affected. The males may have concubines. Bad people’s association becomes unavoidable.

This direction should not be lowered or extended in any way. There should not be septic tanks or water tanks etc., in this direction. This will also give the same bad results as told earlier.

The wind from this direction will bring many diseases to the occupants. Hence, this direction should be shortened and closed to maximum extent. Hence, this direction should be closed by construction of structures. This level should be elevated than all other directions. Proper utilization or usage of this direction will bring success over enemies, sudden growth of wealth, fame etc., in a very short time.

This is also called DEMON’S CORNER as the character of girls is decided by this direction.

The building should be constructed at the SW corner perpendicular with NW and SE. this corner should be heavily loaded. This will fetch more riches and health, like Kamadhenu, the Divine Cow.
