Vastu for Hostel

It is very important to take care of the Vastu and its various aspects before venturing onto the journey of building a hostel. Applying the principles of Vastu helps in maintaining peace, happiness and success in a hostel building. The space called hostel is the space where people from different communities and geographical areas come to live together. And, if proper care of Vastu principle is not taken then numerous problems can arise out of it.

Vastu also ensures that the students living in the hostel do not get involved in any type of bad habits and learn a better way of life. In addition to all that, it also avoids any probable chances of suicide, failure or any other type of inauspicious occurrences in the house. Taking care of the principles of Vastu makes sure that there is a balance in the energy surrounding the building and it banishes the blues of any uninvited happenings. Students can thus live in comfort!

Here are some general guidelines that must be followed during the construction of a hostel room:

Placement of Bed:

Bed in a hostel room should be kept in such a way that the head lied in East or the South direction while the feet are in West or the North direction. Bed should not be kept near the entrance of the hostel room.

Beam in the Hostel room:

You must make sure to avoid any type of beam in the hostel room and that should be taken care of during construction of the building. But if there is any entrance available for beam then you must take care that, the room has been designed in such a way that students are not directly sitting or sleeping under the beam

Placements of Study Table:

The placement of study room in a hostel room should only be in the East or North direction and it should not be kept near the entrance of the room.

Placement of Windows:

More of the windows should be built in the Eastern corner of the hostel room as that will allow maximum entrance of Sunlight which is a significant ingredient for well being of the students in every area.
