VASTU FOR SHOPS AND OFFICES
A profession or business is the most important factor of man’s life. Every man’s success or failure is decided by his expertise and his earnings, in his job, profession or business.
There is a Tamil proverb which says that the greatness of a man’s job or profession is the attraction of a man, than his physical appearance. Exertion is a manly quality.
The office, shop or building where we do business or work should also be according to Vaastu Shastra. It is to be remembered that most part of our life is spent at our working places. If the vastu is followed there, then the office or business will be carried out in a cordial atmosphere and show progress year after year. Business will be successful. If vaastu is not followed there, there will be confusion, bossism and quarrel among the staff (or servant) and the business will be closed down in due course. Loss in business also becomes inevitable day by day. Whatever be the experience, investment and capacity of the staff or owner, will all be wasted. The internal problems become continuous in the establishments. Profits will be affected and unwanted expenditures will become uncontrollable. The vaastu of a shop or any working place has a direct influence over MAN, as that of his house.
The VAASTU SHASTRA sincerely worries about people’s development. It likes to be an ARMOUR to man, in fighting with his struggles, in life. Having been born in this world, we have to live purposefully and the living should also be a remarkable one.
As we saw earlier, the various natural forces or energies are acting upon man continuously and affecting him spontaneously.
The shop should not have more width at the front side and should slowly shorten to the rear side as shown in the figure. This is called as “GOMUKH” (means face of a cow) plot. This will create very bad results on the business. If the width of the rear side of the shop (or plot) is less and, then widens to the outer or front side of the shop, then it is called as “Crow Face” which is very good for business and it increases the profits. The shape of the place or site should not be TRIANGULAR or have IRREGULAR or CROOKED SHAPES. This will RUIN the business and will lead to closure in one day. Even if you invest a huge amount and toil there with your vast experiences, Govt. Assistance etc., all are going to be in vain if the industries, factories are situated in a triangular or other irregular shaped places. A small factory which is highly planned with Vaastu shastra, can easily overtake a big industry. Now let us see in detail about the VAASTU GUIDELINES FOR SHOP, WORKSHOP etc.
1. The shape of the building or shop should be square or rectangle.

A. NORTH FACING SHOPS

It the shutters are to be constructed, it can be for total length or partial length, depending on the width of the front side. But, the partial opening shutters should be arranged from the middle North to North-east corner of the shop! The other half side shutter can be opened or closed depending on the need. The customers should enter the shop at the uchcha side of the North direction only. The shutters on the North-east side should not be closed at any cost. The steps should be constructed either for full length or half-length as told for shutters (North to North-east side) and can be used. The shop owner should face East or North while doing business. He should keep his cash box to his left side while facing North side and to right side while facing east.

The cash box should be kept to his right side while facing the East direction. The cash box should be at his left side while facing the North direction. The shutters should be constructed either to full length or at the uchcha part of the South direction. The customers should enter the shop from the uchcha passage or entrance only.

C. WEST FACING SHOPS
For West facing shops, the shop owner should sit on the elevated seat at the South-west side only. The other directions are not useful for the shop owner. Some of the shop owners sit in the North-west corner for the sake of convenience, but it is not recommended in vaastu. The shop owner should face East or North direction while doing business. The cash box should be kept, as explained earlier. When you are constructing two shutters, you can use both the shutters at a time or use the North-west shutter for doing all business. The idols or pictures of Gods should be kept at the North-east side and worshipped there. But, those cannot be kept at the backside of your seat (South walls). The cement platforms or benches can be constructed at the South-west side and things can be kept there.

The steps should be constructed to full length of the shop or in the North East side of the shop which can be used as entrance steps.
