Vastu Shastra draws on classical texts such as the Mayamata and the Manasara, which describe siting, orientation and room placement.
Evidence and safety
Does Vastu work? The evidence, explained.| Vastu Consultation
We separate three things: what the tradition teaches, what people report, and what research has shown. Updated [DATE].
Three layers
Tradition, experience and evidence.
Tradition
Classical texts set out rules of siting and layout. This is a belief system, not an established finding.
Personal experience
Many people feel calmer after tidying and rearranging a home. That is real to them and it is not proof that direction matters.
Research
We know of no good-quality research showing that direction changes outcomes. We cite what we have and mark what needs a source.
The sources
What we can point to.
We know of no good-quality research showing that room direction changes health, wealth or relationships, and we do not claim it does.
Daylight, ventilation, a clear entrance and a quiet bedroom are sensible whatever you believe about direction.
Our editorial conclusion
Some people use Vastu as a design framework.
We treat Vastu as a tradition for thinking about a space. It should never replace structural, legal or financial advice, and it should never be used to justify unsafe changes.
Ask an engineer or architect first if
- You plan to move, remove or alter a wall or beam
- You are buying, renting or building and money is involved
- A suggestion would break building rules or safety
If you are in distress
- In India, call Tele-MANAS on 14416.
- In an emergency, call 112.
- Tell someone you trust today.
Questions
Safety and evidence, answered.
Is Vastu a science?
No. Vastu Shastra is a traditional system of design and belief. We do not claim scientific proof, and we do not promise outcomes in health, money or relationships.
What happens in a consultation?
We lay your plan over the eight directions, review each room, and agree low-cost changes first. You receive written notes afterwards.
How much does it cost?
The price and duration are published on the pricing page before you book, with the cancellation and refund rules beside them.
