For running their business people have
to establish shops at some suitable place
in the cities, towns or colonies. The
shop may be one's own or a rented one.
For successful
business it is necessary to build the
shops or business organisations according
to the principles of Vaastu Shastra, and
also the seating arrangement and settings
inside the shops or offices be made according
to these principles.
Many people have been found saying that
inspite of hard work and many efforts,
such and such concern is not doing good
business and it is going in loss.A shop
or a business concern is the place where
a person sits to carry on the process
of sale and purchase of items or related
transactions.
According to Vaastu Shastra, the door
through which a customer enters is considered
to be the face of the shop/business concern.
Its auspiciousness should be known as
follows: -
Facing East ------------------> Profitable
Facing west ------------------>Intermittent
Profits and Losses
Facing North ------------------>Growth
of Wealth, Prosperity
Facing South ------------------>Loss
and hindrances when stars are weak (unfavorable).
Seat of counter
The owner or the salesman should sit in
the shop or commercial office facing towards
east or north. It creates troubles and
given loss if the seat/counter is facing
south or west. If it is a public market,
where the shops are facing south, the
south-facing shops are no more inauspicious
if there are shops opposite to these shops
also.
Shape and size
1. If
a shop or commercial office has the width
in the front less than that in the rear,
it is known as Gaumukhi shape. Such shape
is not auspicious for business purposes.
2. If
the width of a shop or commercial office
is more in the front and less in the rear,
the shape is called singhmukhi; it is
auspicious and beneficial for commercial
purposes.
3. Four
sided rectangular or square shapes are
good and auspicious.
4. Shops
or commercial offices having triangular
shape, irregular shape, extended at the
corners (other than the north-east corner)
are inauspicious. Such situations cause
loss of money and of mental peace also.
5. There
should not be a threshold (door-sill)
at the entrance of the shop or business
concern. Slope towards the entrance is
also inauspicious. It makes the profits
unstable.
6. Floor
of the shop or business concern should
be kept clean and attractive.
7. It
is auspicious to install the idols of
god Ganesh and Goddess Lakshmi on the
right hand side or in north-east corner.
8. Auspicious
symbols such as a Swastik should be marked
and 'Shubh-Labh' ' Rddhi-Siddhi' words
written on the wall in the shop. Cash
counter should be placed facing north.
Cash box should never be left blank or
empty.
9. Favourite
GOD should be remembered and prayers be
offered in the morning and evening, with
lighting a lamp and incense-stick (Agarbatti).
10. Presence
of a tree or pole etc. in front of the
shop causes Vedh, which is inauspicious.
It creates problems and disturbances in
the business, such Vedh should be avoided.
11. In
the north-east portion of the shop less
and only right items should be placed.
Heavy items should be kept in south west
portion. It is auspicious to keep the
north-east corner empty or reserved for
the worship of God.
