How to find East Direction:

Why East direction is considered to be Important, (what is the importance of east direction):

Sun is the root of the productive means on earth. The whole real physical world formed of fragments is regulated by the rays of the Sun. That is why our elders worshipping the Sun as God (Surya Bhagavan, Suryadev etc).

The Modern common man, who need all the scientific reasons for everything and elaborately asking the questions why should Sun to be treated as God. He finally decided that Sun is the potential source of heat. He never accepts Sun as a God. He disbelieved all the faiths that Sun as a God.

Sun's covering the surface is about 6,000 Kelvin, which has approximately 5,726 degrees Celsius (10,340 degrees Fahrenheit) and the Sun diameter will be 1.391016 million km.

The Sun is 13,91,000 kilometers (8,64,400 miles) across. It's almost 109 times than the diameter of the Earth. The weight of the Sun is about 3,33,000 times than the Earth. Almost 13,00,000 planet Earth can be fit inside of the Sun.

Many Scientists proved about countless positive benefits of Sun rays to the human body. It is said that sunbathing or basking in the morning sun after applying any vegetable oil to the body, which helps to develop the formation of "D" vitamin in the human body, which has a therapeutic impact on diabetes.

The radiance of Sun formed of seven colors developing a rainbow viz. , violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red and this aspect is made use of in the nature cure which is generally chosen for healing specific ailments, Not only these, there may be much more tremendous and immense precious invaluable energy of the sun.

That is why our forefathers and ancestors had impersonated Surya Namaskaras, as alma medica for best strength and physique.

With the notable progressive development of this Vastu science, man has started building the homes as per its principles and tenets, thus the decisive and positive impact of 5 elements viz., sky, water, light, air, and earth would be realized.

Home is the inseparable factor in the life of the human. Later on the complete facts has been effectuated and this deftness of science is grown evolved about it, which is called as Vasthu, the most effective source for getting peace and development for human beings.

Due to the all above argument, this direction is said to be most important for humans health. Generally, East facing homes will get such a feature, that our elders already described that health is wealth. It is proving nowadays.

By knowing these features, our elders came to the decision that open space at East direction is considered to be auspicious. And most of the vastu consultants recommending the residents to buy the East direction when residents raising a question "Can we buy East facing home" or " Is East facing house is suitable to us".

Though the idea of the vastu consultants may not be wrong, the blind decision never makes everyone and everything happy. Need to observe many things and afterward, the only resident has to take the decision in the presence of competent vastu expert.

East Extension:

Extending towards East direction is auspicious. Can buy adjacent east plot/site to merge it to the existing house/plot, but some conditions apply for this extension, read below.

If a resident already resides and wish to buy the connected/adjacent East direction plot is auspicious, but it has to be decided only with the proper guidance from Vastu Consultants. Otherwise, the existing North doors become Northwest doors, or, the existing South doors become Southwest doors.

Measurement of new extension plot is most important here. For example: if an existing house plot has 100 ( approximately 31 meters) feet from East to West direction and you are buying the new extension East plot like another 100 feet.

Then this becomes your Northeast water sump is said to be North or Northwest and main entrance door like North or Northeast-north become Northwest etc. All these could be avoided if got consultation from an expert. (Need to know about Northwest Facing House Vastu, check this link.)

In addition to this, if there were any street focus on the existing plot with the house, they also should be factored before deciding to buy the adjacent east plot.

For example, if there were a Northeast-north street focus with the extension of the plot of the east it might otherwise become, North-northwest street focus, which brings in enormous instability in the lives of residents.

Further, if there was a well or water body in the Northeast side the same would become well in the North-Northwest side which again disastrous. These will have to be properly evaluated and only a competent vastu scholar can visualize and then advice correctly.

Mere textbooks statements of extension in North-Northeast and East are beneficial is correct with a caveat. Be cautious in this extending principles. Do not be anywise and pound foolish.

If on such extension the level of the composite plot becomes such that East level becomes higher one can imagine the failures one does face in this like.

Lower Level And Discussing the Reasoning Of Advantages:

What happens if the East direction is lower level / depressed. Balance in vastu is important. To understand this subject easily, read the below small content for easy understanding.

Balance to the body is most important, if there is a stomach at top and head at the middle then human being may not walk properly, likewise, God kept human stomach at middle part and kept the head at the top.

By this intelligent structure placements, the human is easily moving from one place to another place otherwise he may fall apart. Balance is most important everywhere and everything too.

Most of the residents or people need a scientific explanation for everything. Without scientific reason, many cannot listen to theory and cannot accept the same.

Here in Vastu shastra, there is a lack of researchers and innovators. 99% of the present vastu consultants interested to read books and recommending the bookish knowledge and vastu tips to the residents.

If there is proper research took place on this science, then definitely every vastu rule can be proved properly as per the present science.

Why our rushis prescribed East floor should be lower level. Why Vastu recommends lower levels with reference to East, Northeast and North. The reason is:

We are all aware the higher we go the more unstable we become. Because the gravitational force of earth which binds us with itself becomes less and less. We all desire virtues good conduct and benevolence stay with us at all times.

If the directions which bestow these qualities are at a higher level, ipso-facto, it means that these virtues are unstable and undesirable phenomena.

It is for this reason that lower levels for these 3 directions (East, Northeast, and North) are recommended. Not only this we are aware that in case of storm dirt is raises and goes away but water would stay back.

This would mean, apart from levels if water bodies such as bore well, well, water sump, are in these directions, it enhances the chances of virtuous qualities staying and bestowing their benevolence on us longer.

Many people give various reasons as to why these 3 directions should be at a lower level. Perhaps, these may be empirically derived by them or intuitively explained.

It will be a welcome feature if they explain the logic behind the statement of advantages of these directions being at a lower level so that a rational thinking person would appreciate this fact.

This direction should be broad, and at a lower level / depressed state (Lower level) than the other directions except for the Northeast corner.

For better results, East direction should not be blocked by any structure or building. Sun raises from this East direction and getting warm waves, those waves have directly hit the homes, those homes may become rich in health, fame and many other benefits. No need to worry about other directions.

The important point of this direction is, it affects on the male or male progeny. Those homes who does has more sunlight at mornings on East direction or the properties has more East direction, it states that the progeny born with knowledge, or knowledgeable people reside in those homes. Wisdom is their wealth.

Servant maids room is suitable to fix at Northwest or Southeast, don't plan their room at northeast or Southwest.

Positive Effects / Salient Noticeable Benefits:

If there be street towards the east of a plot or house, such property is called east plot or east house. This shows its effect predominantly on the male members of the residents as also on the name and fame of the family.

Adverse Results Or Negative Effects:

In positive effects section, we discussed Door facing towards Northeast and East. If the door faces towards Southeast, then there may be a chance of court litigations, thefts or robbery, poor or poverty or may be chances of encounter small fire accidents.

If there is no open space at East direction and more open space at West direction then there may be a possibility of mental disturbances, tragedy, mentally or physically handicapped, breaking of the lineage, possibility of losing kids,(not applicable for USA, UK, Australia properties and some parts of India), defame, besmirch, sully, lack of intelligence, thinking for unnecessary things, trying to get a key for the unsolvable problems, always trying to find a solution for obscure complicated things, fighting to solve the uncertain and unintelligible things, money losses, living in dreams etc. Based on many other surrounding impacts several effects of these may increase or cutback or diminish.

If the compound wall in east is higher than in the west, ill health in the family may manifest or some other shobby or substandard things may also happen in the family.

Please note that the difference in height means, not 6 inches or one feet. The elevation here means, more than one feet. If the house is very bigger one like one-acre land, then even 2 feet height also could not effect on the inhabitants.

For east houses, in no case there be ditches in the west side, now it shall lower than the eastern part. If, on the contrary, if be so, the head of the family would court incurable ailments/diseases or some times may lead to death even.

Where there are kids, care should be taken that there be no accumulating dirt, garbage, pebbles and stones etc towards east or northeast. Or else, it may affect the health of the kids. Financial losses also are possible.

If there be heavyweights towards the east and not go towards west, there is a clear possibility of financial ruination and loss of prestige name and fame, life becomes uneasy.

If there is a problem or any obstruction was made of to the East facing homes then residents may face hypnagogic or they may be very lazy in the future.

What happens if trees at East direction. After reading some text in websites and vastu books, some residents thought this is bad feature, if one really feel like so, then do one simple technique to keep the trees alive and not cut in the name of Vastu. Here is the tips. plant more trees at West direction.

Dig one water sump at Northeast or East direction after the trees. So the water sump will be in between trees and the house. Make sure the master bedroom is at Southwest. If there is no trees at East direction and you are planning to plant trees, then postpone it or plant trees at West, South and Southwest directions.

Hight raise and heavy buildings at East direction, generally, this may not be good. Some times and in some places this rule may not works when the property is in cities. Because in cities we can found many buildings in and around, so the negativity will be shared to all. Only one property never be affected by this East high rise buildings. In villages or small towns it may affect badly.

East side apartments, these heavy structures may not be giving good results. What happens if there is one apartment, two apartments, high rise apartments, etc. 3 floors apartment is not giving any trouble if the house is two story building.

High rise apartments, for example, 5/6/7/8/9 or more, then troubles may start. Getting bad name, starting health problems, things cannot go smooth, for even small things also need to use high power, starting complications, eye problems start slowly, starting money problems, diminishing the fame, unrest, kids will become physically or mentally handicapped, has to experience the poverty, chronic ill-health, mentally retarded or mentally disturbed.

It may definitely disturb their peace, they never have good sleep, they lost confidence, further, there is a high chance of doing committing mistakes(definitely). Nowadays somebody is doing a new job by observing Vasthu by reading one or two books and doing corrections as published in those books, the practical knowledge and theoretical knowledge is very different. No comparison.

We may observe little variations in terms of results. The good or bad effects of the neighborhood may be different when coming with the home with a boundary wall and without boundary walls.

Our elders says constructing the compound wall is auspicious to the property. But this rule may not applies in all countries.

The House-1 is also good but does not have Northeast-east street focus and Southeast-south street focus effects.

Some residents raising the questions their both homes are same to same, but difference appeared results wise, here is the answer for them.

Professionals examine is different and layman perception is desperate. Like such a way, there are many other things too, that we have to observe and consider before buying the property or constructing the home. Maybe the star of a person may also involve in buying the property.

This is a suitable place to discuss one incident. While in our property review, visited one village near Kadapa district, there are two friends by name Krishna Reddy and Ramana Reddy, both were good friends.

Is All East Facing Homes Are Good, One Example:

Krishna Reddy dependably a decent organizer, and he hunts down for an expert vastu consultant and thereafter he got up one vastu specialist information and taken the consultancy and constructed the home. But Ramana Reddy does not like such concept and honestly speaking he doesn't want to waste his money in the name of vastu shastra. Krishna Reddy started the home and completed successfully. On the same way, Ramana Reddy also completed his home and both joined their homes respectively.

Later Ramana Reddy observe many negative changes happening in his home and he compared the results with Krishna Reddy home.

When the problems were too much he never wastes a day and contacted the expert which Krishna Reddy sought consultancy and asked him to visit his property. Krishna Reddy encroached road, Ramana Reddy also encroached the road.

Krishna Reddy got Northeast-east and Southeast-south street focuses, while Ramana Reddy got Northwest-north and Southwest-south street focuses.

The logical point here is Ramana Reddy home is "West facing" and Krishna Reddy home is "East facing". Imitation in other things may be profitable, but it won't safe in vastu.

Let us discuss on this mistake, how to handle this issue. Whose mistake it was. After examining the cruel situations, Ramana Reddy wants to demolish his house even to nullify the negative effects.

Anyway, the problem was solved with demolish the front room and removed the street focus problems, actually, he wishes to demolish the entire home, but expert saved his money by just removing only one room.

Here who was suffered finally. Though by knowing the benefits of vastu consultancy Ramana Reddy doesn't like to have vastu consultancy, he wishes to save consultant fee.

Finally what happens. Who got gigantic misfortune. Let us all think about this. Vastu for East facing home is exclusively contrasting with West facing house vastu.

We experienced one Vastu for East facing house in USA, which has a mountain after the road, after buying that home, they went with atrocious outcome consequences. The resident read some vastu books and observed vastu videos and bought the home. His wish of saving experts fee was successful, but his life was in trouble.

Brainy residents never follow this cheap technique, they will first approach only the experts in this field, it's the reason they got success and called as successful people.

But, those who construct their residence neglecting this direction either by ignorance or indifference, will definitely lose their wealth and fame. Their career or Trade will be affected.

They will have more worries and problems, and also regarding their children’s education, the profession also is affected.

Slanting roof towards the East is good, the roof or sheets should flex towards East direction.

East provides Renaissance/rebirth of fortune is possible in terms of opportunities, Capture them, East is best suitable direction to have good name and fame.

If defects found towards East direction then it maltreated residents.

Those who have more East space they will conquer all of their problems.

We never ask you to believe this, you may treat below as a story

One Satyanarayana of Mysore (Place Changed), Karnataka state, suffered losses in his factory, his brother-in-law informed him “better to consult one experienced Vaastu consultant and get suggestions from him”.

But Satyanarayana is a different character, he thinks that vastu consultant needs fees to observe the property, why should pay fee, immediately he bought two Vaastu books in the market., overnight he reads those books and known everything in vastu shastra., early morning he met Mason (mestri) and ordered to do some corrections in the factory.

Wonderful within a very short period his factory seized by the financial institutions, alas! he lost respect in the society, after discussing all the things with his brother-in-law and finally contacted one experienced Vastu consultant and done some corrections to his house and factory also (factory is seized, but outside, there is opportunity to visible for observation), he done the alterations as per Vastu expert advice, after passing days he got some financial support from one of his best friend settled at New York (United States of America), anyhow finally he gained by vastu corrections.

If at first, he approached an expert, no way for seizing the factory and lose the name in society. Once bad name came, generally, it takes years to get a stamp out.
