Frequently Asked Questions
Q.What is Vastu Dosha and how does this mantra help?
Vastu Dosha refers to directional or structural imbalances in a building that create negative energy flows. Common examples: main entrance in a negative direction, bathroom in the northeast (Ishanya), kitchen in the north or northeast, staircase in the center of the house. While physical Vastu corrections are ideal, the Vastu Shanti Mantra and homa (fire ritual) are used to neutralize the energy effects when structural changes are not possible.
