It brings happiness, health and wealth into the resident's lives. MahaVastu has devised the Shakti Chakra and the 4-Step Evaluation techniques to see which part of the house lies in which zones.

You should keep these factors in mind because your house determines the quality of your life.

These flats may be irregular in shape, with cut, extended and missing corners, and require Vastu balancing. Only MahaVastu has the ability to harmonise the Vastu zonal energy.<br><br>There are no challenges in ensuring Vastu compliance and aesthetics, as Vastu is as much about a beautiful house as a functionally efficient one. There is no demolition required to apply MahaVastu principles and treatments. If there is any Vastu imbalance, it is easily remedied by changing colours, applying designs, placing symbols and cures that will balance house energy without detracting from aesthetics. For example, a calm smiling Buddha in the North-East will empower this zone, and add to the beauty of your house.<br><br>Try and evaluate the house before you buy it. If you can get a Vastu-check done, so much the better. If you find anything going wrong get it checked and fixed right way. Vastu cures are simple and easy to apply.
