Can you imagine running a business if there is no regular inflow of finance? There is no doubt in the fact that money is the soul of every business. Big business houses generate funds for gaining financial stability while small businesses depend mainly on regular payment receipts. Finance is needed for everything – for laying down the foundation of business, for growth and expansion and even for mergers and takeovers. It is always beneficial for the business if they can get money at an interest rate that is lower than the market rate. Here, an application of Vastu Shastra principles can help the business in attracting the right investor. It might be surprising for you that the Vastu Shastra learners were also trained in Arth Shastra (Economics). They learned about how the Panchbhootas were capable of controlling the finance factor so that the problems related to finance could be efficiently and quickly solved.  The famous economist Chanakya, who was the chief advisor of Chandragupta Maurya was the one who used the Vastu principles in his book ‘Arth Shastra’.

Making a commercial space Vastu-compliant is not at all a difficult task. A few changes regarding colours, light, ventilation, elevations and furniture can be done which mostly do not interfere with business ethics and standard, but at the same time, they help in bringing prosperity into the business.  From the business point of view, , even a slight imbalance in the Panchbhootas (water, fire, space, air and earth) can be hazardous for a business unit. For example – if you are becoming a victim of frauds, then you must check the placement of the ‘Fire’ element.

Directions and their influence on Business

This is the favourable direction for ‘Water’ and looks after the ‘success’ factor of business. Always keep your entrances in this direction. Placing two white horses in North-West can help a business in prospering.

• The manager’s cabin as well as the ‘research and development’ unit of a business must be placed in North-East. Finances grow if this area is kept clean and clutter-free.
