Suppose six parts of a house or building are in accordance with Vaastu principles, while three parts have Vaastu defects; In such a situation, a person can get considerable benefits. However, its only condition is that the defects present in those three defective parts should be rectified using Vaastu-friendly remedies. By combining Feng Shui techniques, planetary solutions and Vaastu remedies, one can reduce the defects and achieve happiness and prosperity in life.
To correct Vaastu defects, special attention should be paid to certain key aspects, such as ensuring the sanctity of the *Brahma Sthanam* (central area), the position of the main entrance, and the position of the four main corners—*Ishaan* (north-east), *Agni* (south-east), *Nairitya* (south-west), and *Vayavya* (north-west). One should carefully check whether these corners are extended or truncated, and identify any structures in them that are appropriate or inappropriate as per Vaastu. In addition, it is also necessary to consider the direction and number of stairs, the location of kitchens, bathrooms, toilets and water tanks, as well as the position of bedrooms and the arrangement of furniture in them.
Position of five elements in the house
The five basic elements are located at different places within the house. The water element resides in the *Ishaan* (north-east) corner; The *Agni* (south-east) corner is ruled by the ancestors (*pitras*) and Lord Agni (Agni Dev); *Nairiutya* (south-west) corner is considered to be a demonic direction associated with obstacles; The air element is located in the *Vayavya* (north-west) corner; And the sky (ether) element resides in *Brahma Sthan* (central area). Thus, it is necessary to establish harmony among these five elements by creating a comprehensive Vastu chart (*Vastu Kundli*) for the property. This complex work can be done effectively only by an expert Vaastu expert.
Ways to remove defects in Ishaan (North-East) corner
To reduce the defects present in the Ishaan (north-east) angle, some simple and effective remedies are as follows: keeping vessels filled with water in this area, installing a statue of Lord Shiva, or hoisting the Shiva flag. Similarly, with regard to the Agni (south-east) angle, sitting in this area and meditating on the Agni deity—as well as offering donations and prayers to one’s ancestors, worshiping the Sun God and Goddess Gayatri, and performing Agnihotra daily—can significantly reduce the Vaastu defects associated with this angle. Goddess Nairuti is considered to be the presiding deity of Nairutya (south-west) corner; Therefore, meditating on them—as well as serving and helping the poor—is believed to provide spiritual self-protection. Worship of Lord Bhairav is considered extremely auspicious to remove Vaastu defects associated with both South and South-West directions. Finally, along with the usual Vaastu puja, installing a ‘Vastu Yantra’ (sacred geometrical diagram) within the home is also considered a beneficial practice.
