Vaastu balances the environment and brings harmony to the people lives in the house.

There are well defined steps to be followed from selecting the land till completion of construction and house warming. If followed these brings happiness, prosperity,good health, long and peaceful life to family.

Selection of Soil or Land

According to almost all vedic vaastu shastras and texts selection of soil or land is to be done as per slope in different directions.

According to slope of particular land in particular direction generates different results, good or bad.

Here present are some of the rules while selecting the land or soil

1.  no slope or equal slope in all directions is best.

 2.    Land which slope down towards North East and up towards South West brings wealth, life and prosperity. This type of land is known as Gajparistha(गजपृष्ठ).

3. Land which slope down towards west and up towards north-east, east and north is known as Daityaparistha (दैत्यपृष्ठ ). This land brings loss of money, conflicts, thus not suitable for construction.

Based on above descriptions land slope is utmost important to consider.

Slope down towards north and east are considered to be the best and gives all kind of prosperity and strength to house members.

From east sun provides light and so east is considered auspicious direction. Sunrise rays gives prosperity to all including houses. Rain water if flow towards east it directly goes into ground.This type of land provides wealth, good health of family members and power.

North lord is Kubera and land slope down towards North has Kubera vision directly. This type of lands bring wealth, power and higher education.North pole star is also situated in North which is considered to provide stability.

As per vishwakarmaprakash and vaastu chintamani(By Jain Muni Shri108 Acharya Devnandi Ji Maharaj) natural slope of land towards East is money yielding, towards North East very auspicious and towards North good for the family. Same is said by Mayamatam, Manasaram and other vaastu epics.
