Over the years his business grew and he had to rearrange his office for better functionality. But in doing so he relocated his filing cabinet, his desk and the Ganesh statue out of the office.

Soon he had to face a difficult period of financial hardships when the surplus money disappeared, the old clients began to move away and he started incurring losses.

About six months later when I visited them I found that the entire office was rearranged. I noticed the wrong placement of his desk and the Ganapati statue. When I told him that he had been sailing through troubled waters and would have faced financial hardships ever since the Ganesha statue was relocated, he was astonished as to how I knew it. The office was rearranged according to Vastu, the Ganesh statue was relocated, the filing cabinet was shifted to its old position and soon things improved.

Vastu, when properly applied, can greatly contribute to the growth of a business.

When utilizing space planning or considering an expansion, Vastu should be taken into account to minimize the negative effects of the building.

The Outside

A tastefully decorated entrance having a pleasant fragrance and soft music will attract more customers. Light it well and keep it free of clutter and useless furniture because a dirty, dark and congested entrance is bad for business. It will keep away customers, friends and profits.

It should be tastefully decorated. A well placed aquarium or a fountain will have a soothing effect on the customers and guests.

It is better to have a large main door rather than a restraining main door. A well finished old door looks mature and respectable, and indicates stability and promises better business. An old and shabby door which does not open freely, has a missing doorknob should be repaired immediately.

Hanging a wind chime in the entrance and installing a statue of Ganesh promotes positive energy, reduces work related tension, helps to keep away obstacles and intruders, and customers who have visited once are likely to visit again.

Creaking doors and windows should be strictly avoided. If there are any, oil the hinges immediately

The Inside

Create a pleasing atmosphere in the Office. This is the primary condition. Use balanced lighting, fresh flowers, soothing colours, aesthetic interior decoration, sound-absorbant flooring and piped music to create the desired atmosphere.

Display your Company's products, their photographs, or brochures about your services in the lobby. The products or the literature should be well lit by focused lights. The customer must be attracted towards them as soon as he enters the reception area.

Design the Reception in the North-Eastern direction. But earmark the actual North-Eastern corner of the office for the image of a deity, or if nothing else, then decorate it well with light and flowers. Avoid having rest rooms in North Eastern corner of the office. This always proves disasterous results and blocks off growth and happiness in career and personal life

The office of the Chairman or the General Manager can be located in South-West or Southern part of the Office. It is desirable that he should sit in the South-West corner of his office in such a way that he faces East.

I usually place a heavy safe in the South-Western corner of the room of the boss. in which important documents, papers about Company's assets, files of important projects etc are stored. Embedding it in the wall is also a good idea.

Similarly, I earmark a place in the North-West area of his room where files which need to be attended to by others are kept.

The middle management cadre staff should be placed in North & East zones.

Effort should be made to keep the Centre of the office clean. I usually cordon it off and place a floral motif on the floor, a piece of art, or the image of a deity to keep it tidy.

South East is the corner for Fire, or appliances which generate heat. Earmark the South-Eastern area for placement of Generators, Inverters, Electric Meter, main Power Switch, Computer servers, generators, even the office pantry.
.
It is important to ensure that no one should be sitting directly under a beam. If it is so, then the work desk needs to be shifted. This also applies to computers and other r office equipments.

In like manner, there are specific directions for parking, toilets, warehouse, customer waiting area, stairs, elevators, external surroundings, direction of the main entrance of the building and so on.

One must also bear in mind that maximim benefits from Vastu planning are achieved only when the office size is calculated and corrected to get the desired Yoni - Direction of Energy Flow - of the room space. Yoni calculation is an extrely important calculation and has no parallel in the world of contemporary or modern architecture.

Shifting to a new location ?

If you are planning to shift to a new premises then identify a good Vastu location where to shift. The energy of the new location should support the growth and financial success of your business.

There are several cases where the business has not done well after shifting to a new premises. A typical example of this is when a successful restaurant shifts its location and then goes out of business within a few months
