Fire Element (अग्नि तत्व) of Vastu Shastra

Fire Element (अग्नि तत्व)- Vastu Shastra

Fire, together with Water, Earth, Wind, and space is one of the five known basic Elements of Vastu Shastra, which represent the substance of the world.

 Fire in its physical appearance can do for you what the sun itself does for the whole world - it provides you with light and warmth and can serve you as a heat source to cook upon. Fire is also an impulsive and a dangerous element, that can smoulder and suddenly burst.

 Fire can give wings of courage, compassion, and devotion.
 It is seen as the force burning inside us, giving us iron willpower to go for our goals, bestowing upon us the passion to do it with all of yourself, resulting in the honor and freedom to do it without backstabbing and with an open face.
Fire is the transformer, converting the energy of other objects into other forms: heat, light, ash, and smoke.

The Buddha defined the Fire element as “that by which one is warmed, ages, and is consumed, and that by which what is eaten … gets completely digested.” In other words, the Fire element within is metabolism. It’s our energy.

Sources of fire element in Vastu Shastra:-

Stove, Oven  or Gas
Pantry in case of small office
Transformer, DG set, Furnaces, Boilers, Chimney, Electrical- control Panels set etc. in case of Industries
Red Candle
Coral Stone –Triangular
Jasper Pyramid- Triangular
A  painting  or any art representing fire
A new alternate:- Agni Kund (Fire Bowl)


himalayan salt lamp
Agni Kund (FIre Bowl)



There are simple ways to use the fire element of Vastu Shastra theory to create balance, harmony, and prosperity in your surrounding.

FIRE ELEMENTS (अग्नि तत्व) – RESIDENCE


1.   A fire feature should not be placed in the southwest or northeast quadrant of a property, building or room. A kitchen or fireplace, for example, in the southwest brings conflicts and arguments. A kitchen or fireplace in the northeast will cause whatever money you make to ‘burn up’ and go away. It also brings health problems, conflicts, and arguments.

2.    The fire element at incorrect locations can trigger accidents, miscarriages, and other undesirable events. When used correctly though, the fire element can bring money and fame and help with relationships. It takes a great deal of vastu study to determine where best to apply the fire element.

3.   If stove and toilet wall is back to back on the same wall, this is not a good vastu which causes poor health to the family members. The bathroom represents the removal of waste, and the kitchen represents wealth and prosperity. A virtual partition by installing a copper pyramid divider is a simple remedy available to cure such vastu defect.

4.   In designing your kitchen it is extremely beneficial to place two key factors. Firstly, the layout must not create any conflicts between the three key elements (fridge, sink, and stove) and secondly, the colors and materials you choose should in some way benefit the owner of the house.

5.   A stove between the fridge and sink indicates the situation “Fire between the water”.

6.   Do not place the gas/stove under the beam; otherwise, you will suffer from poor health.

7.   Do not keep  Chipped Plates and damaged equipment in the kitchen. It will accumulate bad energy.


FIRE ELEMENT (अग्नि तत्व) - INDUSTRIES / OFFICES


8.   Transformer, electrical panels, boilers etc. at southeast makes a warm southeast corner. According to the research, warm agneya corner(Southeast) assures tremendous growth for the industries. There are so many examples of successful industries having a strong presence of the fire element at the southeast corner.

9.   Chilling plant, cold storage, AC units, etc. at southeast weakens the fire element. This may result in poor growth of the company.

10. Loyal, energetic  & hardworking staff or workers are the indications of canteen or kitchen at South-east zone of the premises.

11. Do not place any septic or water tank close to the fire element. This may cause a serious setback to the industries.

12. Fire gadgets at the southwest may cause an accident in the unit. A virtual shifting by placing a copper shift arrow may reduce the impact of negative placement.

13. Fire equipment in the northeast zone could bring a stressful situation for the management. A vastu relocation or corrections are must for such placement.

In Vastu, the solution lies in locating the Vastu faults and correcting them to create a harmonious and positive energy field.

Vastu for Resort / Hotel / Restaurant / Motels / Dhaba / & Cafe


Vastu for Resort / Hotel / Restaurant / Motels / Dhaba / & Cafe

Vastu Shastra is a precious cosmic science from the ancient Indian architecture, which benefits to the people who adopt it irrespective of any religion. It involves important principles of constructing a building by taking advantage of nature’s five basic elements (Water, Fire, Earth, Air, and Space) forming the universe. People today realize that the environment does affect you and the vastu is a key to understanding how our surroundings have an influence on us.

Vastu is gaining acceptance all over the world both by businesses and individuals. It is considered a hot trend even in U S A. There is presently an estimated 300 million dollars of Vastu related construction going on in the U.S. only. Vastu has become a worldwide trend including a hotel industry for attracting more guests to their places.

The Hospitality industry relies on quality service and facilities for the repeat business. If the hotel has a vastu design then the guest will feel comfortable, relaxed and welcomed immediately.

Creative design with vastu norms has much to offer the hospitality industry. Hotel, restaurants, and cafes in order to encourage more people to visit them should incorporate precious vastu design in their layout.

When vastu norms are properly implemented at Hotel /Restaurant or Café, it helps to create an environment that enhances the guests’ experience. The result is a satisfied guest who will return over and over for repeat order/stay.

The key placement to consider in a hotel & Restaurant’s vastu arrangement is the careful positioning of entrances, main counters, table arrangements and even more importantly the kitchen.

Entrance:-
Entrance to the hotel should be welcoming and easy to find and access. It is a gateway to the wealth and success. Entrance in order to make it auspicious, it should be in the positive direction marked by an experienced vastu expert. Any obstacles in front of the main entrance could result in difficulty in getting new as well as repeat customers. When a hotel driveway warmly welcomes you with beautiful plants & flowers, an exotic water fountain and a smiling-greeting doorman, you are immediately satisfied even before you step into the lobby area.
Seating arrangement:- Tables and chairs should be in a harmonious arrangement preferably in alignment with the magnetic axis. The customers should be facing east or west while taking food or drink at the restaurant. Square or rectangular table with little round corner is preferred to avoid conflict and discomfort at the site.

Kitchen:- Harmony and efficiency in the kitchen is the key to any hotel or restaurant's success. As the kitchen uses most two important elements of the vastu i.e. fire & water, it is an area prone to conflict. For the success of any hotel or restaurant, it is advisable to put the kitchen in the fire corner of the site. Taste of the food cooked in the southeast corner is much better pulling much more customers with frequent visits. There are a lesser number of complaints about the food quality and service if the kitchen is made at the fire corner.

Colors:- Use warm colors like orange, yellow, cream & brown in the interior as well as menu design. These colors are more conducive to the nourishing and enjoyable experience of eating. Too much use of cool shades like grey and green may gradually lower customer turnover.

Following are important points to be considered while designing a layout for hotel/resort or restaurant:-

• The surroundings of the hotel like roads, structures, river, canals, mountains etc.
• Location of the Main Entrance
• The direction of the reception
• Location of the Cash Counter
• Location and direction of Tranquility zone (Meditation area)
• Location of the Owner Cabin
• Location of storeroom
• The seating arrangement of the guest in case of a restaurant
• Location of the kitchen
• Location and placement inside each room in the hotel
• Colour of each section of the hotel e.g. entrance lobby, reception, café area, guest room, kitchen, gymnasium, spa, accounts, Owner’s cabin, staff quarters etc.
• Location of the water body like an underground water tank, swimming pool, fountains, overhead water tanks etc.
• Location of electricity room
• Placement of windows, AC’s etc.
• Location of a waste disposal area

These are general guidelines for the design and placement that can be safely applied to your establishment. However, if you are serious about achieving a perfectly balanced and beautiful hotel or restaurant environment, then a personalized consultation is recommended for your success in business and memorable dining experience for your valued guests.
