Vaastu-Shastra is often mistaken as a religious practice and prayer, due to its origin in India, people had the misconception that it had something to do with Hinduism in totality. But in reality, it doesn’t as Dr. Ravi Rao has worked with several international firms across the world too. Results have always been as expected; positive and blessed.

Vaastu Shastra is right for every individual from every religion, nationality, and more. The simple reason behind it is that it follows the chain of energy, position of planets, and blessings by them, and they aren’t a religion centric.
Today, in modern times, people have again started accepting Vaastu Shastra for their homes. So the question is, that ‘Is Vaastu Shastra only related to homes?’ The answer is no, it is applicable for industries, schools, hospitals, and more.

It is deep, complex, and location-oriented, so you need to have an expert who can understand your business, layout, generic demands of your factory, and align them with your goals through Vaastu Shastra. The correct use of Vaastu Shastra can be beneficial for you beyond imagination, while blunders in the same can be worse than nightmares.

On numerous occasions, the positions of several objects suggested by Vaastu Shastra also have scientific reasonings and benefits.

The positions of elements objects in a factory suggested by Vaastu Shastra are:

• The slope of the plot
  The slope of the plot land should be elevated at the south and southwest zones while going downwards in north and north-east zones. This is one of the most basic and essential Vaastu Shastra tips while building a factory unit, industry, or more. Earth’s magnetic field flows from northeast to southwest; by this layout, one can reap the maximum benefit of this flow.
• Heavy electrical process and boilers
  In the previous blog (The Eight Directions), we discussed southeast being the zone for installing all the first equipment, as it’s the zone of fire. Mostly every industry has transformers and control panels. They represent the fire element, so they should be placed in the southeast zone. If the industrial unit has other prominent machines like boilers, which directly have use of fire, they should be the first choice for southwest direction.Then you will need an expert to assess your industry for finding the best place of transformers. (Note: Generators are not considered here as they are back up for electricity, so their most suitable place is in the northwest)
• Main gate and boundary walls
  Main gate among the crucial and deciding factors for the success or loss of industry. In the case of the main entrance, the doors have to be on specific points, as they can be in any of the four primary directions. North is most preferred and recommended for entries, but if the industry is facing south or any other direction, then the expert will help you in figuring the best place for the main entrance in that location.The boundary walls play their part by absorbing energy, so at south and west, they should be thicker, while in the north and east, they should be thinner. This is done so in the morning these walls can transmit the positive energy from the sun, and in night/evening can resist the negative energy of the same.
• Storage of raw materials and finished goods
  These are among the essential components in a factory/industry. So their placement will have a significant impact on factory performance. The best place of raw materials is in the west zone, but if natural materials are in the form of liquids, consider having their storage in the north or northeast. For mostly all types of factories, the placement of finished goods is recommended in the northwest. This direction will ensure and smoothen the continuous flow of finished goods.
• Machines: Directions and placements
  Every industry has a different product line, and with that different machines too. It’s a common misconception that machinery should be kept only in the southwest. To understand it better, the first one needs to know that in Vaastu, it’s never about the weight of the machine, but the activity it performs. So you need an expert to list out the different positions for different machines and their combination, for instance, stone crushers shall be in the northwest corner as they crush the material.
• Toilets and parking lots
  Toilet is the place from where the waste is disposed of the factory. A blunder in them will result in huge losses. The correct position of them is south of southwest and north of northwest. On the other hand, it is necessary to have a separate parking space for light and heavy vehicles. Heavy vehicles should be parked outside of the factory. In case they need to be inside, then they should be in the south and southwest direction. The light vehicles should be parked in northwest, north, or east zones. They should never be in the north-east zone.

So far, we have listed the crucial aspects and inclusions in a factory/industry. Other than this, you will always require an expert to judge the overall Vaastu of the place correctly. The suggestions and changes given by an expert are based on a more in-depth understanding of the location, product, and situation. Vaastu Shastra is always accepted for having zero errors in workplace design or fixing the errors if any.
