The construction of your home plays a vital part in how good your life is. A good home brings not just positivity, but also the enthusiasm that is needed to complete our daily set of activities. This positivity can be further enhanced if you build your home by following the principles stated in Vastu Shastra, an ancient science which has its roots in Hinduism. Vastu Shastra, also referred to as the "science of construction", takes into account certain cosmic principles and advises the construction of temples and homes based on those cosmic foundations. This article talks about a few Vastu Shastra Tips that can go a long way in helping you build a positive home, for a positive life.
A Closer Look at Vastu Shastra
Vastu Shastra was formed many years ago, sometime between 6000-3000 BC and states that earth, water, air, wind and fire, ie the five fundamental elements, are responsible for our creation, and affect everything that happens. This concept forms the foundation of the cosmic principles established in Vastu Shastra. These principals can help you drift away from negative energy and enter a life which brims with positivity. However, applying these Vastu principles is not limited just to the construction of the house. Several other factors like surrounding places and plot direction play their parts in determining the Vastu of your home.

It is important to pay attention to the best possible construction and design of the kitchen. The following Vastu tips for kitchen should be kept in mind while designing the kitchen:
