Sun indicates light (illumination) will power, generosity, solar system, luck or fate, mobility, and in the body. It rules over bone, eye, heart, spinal cord, blood circulation, and soul, etc. Hence east direction is auspicious; it belongs to lord Indra.

There are three forces in action to create harmony. Wind, water, and fire or, Vaayu, Jal, and Agni. If these forces are kept in their appropriate places, there will be no disturbance. But if water is put in place of fire and wind in place of water or in any other combination, the forces will start acting accordingly and create disharmony and tension.

Have you ever wondered why Tajmahal is so famous that it has become the 7th wonder of the earth and why exactly a similar structure called”Chandbibi ka makbara” situated in Aurangabad is not yet known to the people! Why is it so that the Tirupati Balaji is world famous and other temples situated in the same regions are still waiting for the pilgrims to come…. This is all vastu, they are famous because they are made according to vastu.
Thus to achieve happiness, peace, and prosperity, one must follow the principles of vastu.
