Vastu
Compass, house-facing, room-placement and floor-plan tools, with a 12-lesson course from the five elements to corrections without demolition.
What is Vastu?
Vastu Shastra is the Indian tradition of arranging a home by direction and element: fire in the south-east, weight in the south-west, water and prayer in the north-east, the centre kept open. Everything is measured from the centre of the built area with a compass, and the main door is judged by the pada it sits in rather than the side it faces. This site teaches the rules, measures your home against them, and sells no remedies.
