cosmic forces to attain harmony, good health, prosperity and

happiness.

What is Vasthu based on?

elements in their proper order and proportions.

• It focuses on the placement of weights on the floor of a

property.

When is Vasthu required?

purchasing or renting or designing a house.

problems and challenges or disharmony at home or

place of work.

How fast does Vasthu work?

could be noticed almost immediately if the

placement of things are followed 100%.

of Vasthu between three months to a year.

recommendations.

Understanding Vasthu

religious ritual.

question of faith but a fact of life.
