Commercial Vastu refers to the application of Vastu Shastra principles in the planning, design, and layout of commercial spaces such as offices, shops, industries, and other business-related establishments. The goal of commercial Vastu is to align the energies of the workspace with natural elements and cosmic forces to promote prosperity, success, productivity, and harmony.
Key Elements of Commercial Vastu:
-
Direction and Orientation: Each business has specific requirements for directional alignment. For example:
- Offices benefit from having their entrance in the North or East.
- Factories need functional zones like the furnace and machinery placed in the Southeast (fire zone).
-
Balance of Elements: Vastu emphasizes balancing the five natural elements (earth, water, fire, air, and space) in the layout to ensure optimal energy flow.
-
Zoning: Each area of a commercial establishment (e.g., entrance, workspace, storage, customer interaction zones) is carefully planned to maximize efficiency and attract positive outcomes.
-
Energy Flow: Vastu ensures the free and uninterrupted flow of energy, reducing obstacles and enhancing success in business activities.
