Industrial Vaastu
Industrial Vaastu presents a unique challenge, as the principles of traditional Vaastu can often clash with the practical needs of industrial structures. While complete adherence to traditional Vaastu guidelines in industrial design is often unfeasible, ignoring them entirely can be detrimental to the success of the industry. Therefore, a holistic approach is necessary, emphasizing a deep understanding of traditional Vaastu principles to achieve a balanced construction that aligns with optimal ratios, proportions, and zones.
In this series of articles, I’m sharing essential Vaastu guidelines for industrial clients. I’ve presented numerous case studies from a wide array of businesses, each with its unique Vaastu challenges. What makes this series particularly intriguing is the inclusion of powerful remedial tools to effectively address these situations. This book is a must-have for dedicated Vaastu consultants and architectural professionals.
Industrial shed construction often incorporates Western architectural concepts that may not be suitable for all environments. Blindly adopting these designs in diverse climates can lead to issues. For instance, factory shed roofs with slopes towards directions like South or West can disrupt thermal balance and impact the natural energy flow, resulting in distorted energy mandalas. It’s crucial to consider regional factors for effective industrial architecture.
Factories that initially thrive and expand their sheds often face declines due to poorly planned extensions. These haphazard additions lack geometric symmetry and exhibit irregular shapes, slopes, and plinth levels, disrupting the overall harmony. Mindful planning is essential for sustaining success in such cases.
In many industrial zones, issues often arise due to incorrect ‘Bhumi Nikash’ or earth’s reference points. In such cases, the correct design of industrial sheds can be a saving grace. Traditional ‘Upa Peeth Rachana’ involves utilizing vibrations, waves, sound, and light along with gems, herbs, and metals placed within the earth. It’s crucial to understand that traditional treatments alone won’t yield results unless the earth’s rhythm is improved through proper form correction.
When planning Vaastu for industries, it’s crucial to acknowledge and work within the specific terms and conditions set by each industry for their processes and machinery placement. Providing tailored Vaastu solutions to rectify non-compliance is essential. Unlike other situations, trying to reverse these conditions in an industrial setting may not be effective. To navigate this, a deep grasp of the five dimensions of Vaastu Shastra—planets, elements, deities, directions, and energy—is imperative for effective factory planning.
