Traces Vastu from Vedic texts through classical treatises to modern practice. It grounds students in the tradition's evolution and cultural significance.

Lesson 2 • Core Philosophy and Worldview

Explains the metaphysical assumptions underlying Vastu, including cosmic order and human-environment harmony. It connects philosophy to practical design intent.

Lesson 3 • Fundamental Vastu Concepts

Introduces core terminology: Purusha, Prana, and the Vastu Purusha Mandala. These concepts underpin every spatial analysis taught later.

Lesson 1 • Compass Use and Site Orientation

Introduces accurate compass reading and magnetic north correction for site analysis. Students practice orienting a plot before applying directional rules.

Lesson 2 • Directional Energies and Deities

Maps the eight directions to ruling deities and elemental qualities. It establishes the directional logic used in all room-placement decisions.

Lesson 3 • Balancing Elements in Space

Teaches methods for identifying elemental imbalances and applying corrective measures. It directly prepares students for room-by-room analysis.

Lesson 1 • Structure of the Mandala Grid

Explains the 8×8 and 9×9 Pada grids and their geometric construction. Students learn to overlay the mandala on any floor plan.

Lesson 2 • Applying the Mandala to Floor Plans

Guides students through overlaying the mandala on actual residential and commercial plans. It builds the core skill of spatial energy mapping.

Lesson 3 • Mandala Variations and Special Cases

Addresses irregular plots, multi-storey buildings, and apartment units. Students adapt the mandala method to non-standard spatial conditions.

Lesson 1 • Slope, Levels, and Underground Water

Evaluates plot slope direction and underground water presence as critical Vastu factors. Students learn to recommend grading and drainage adjustments.

Lesson 2 • Plot Shape and Proportions

Analyses how plot geometry affects energy flow and occupant outcomes. Students classify plots and identify auspicious versus problematic shapes.

Lesson 3 • Producing a Site Assessment Report

Teaches a structured format for documenting site findings and client recommendations. Students complete a full report using a real or simulated site.

Lesson 4 • Surrounding Environment and Roads

Examines the impact of adjacent roads, water bodies, hills, and neighbouring structures. Students assess external energy influences on a site.

Lesson 1 • Bathrooms, Toilets, and Water Zones

Identifies permissible and prohibited zones for wet areas. Students learn to minimise negative effects when bathrooms occupy sensitive zones.

Lesson 2 • Main Entrance Placement and Design

Determines auspicious entrance positions by direction and pada zone. Students evaluate existing entrances and recommend optimal placement.

Lesson 3 • Living Areas, Staircases, and Roofs

Positions living rooms, staircases, and roof structures according to directional rules. Students complete a full residential layout exercise.

Lesson 4 • Kitchen and Fire Zone Design

Places the kitchen in the southeast fire zone and positions the cooking platform correctly. Students resolve common kitchen Vastu conflicts.

Lesson 1 • Industrial and Factory Vastu

Positions machinery, raw materials, and finished goods zones in production facilities. Students adapt Vastu principles to large-scale industrial layouts.

Lesson 2 • Common Commercial Vastu Defects

Catalogues frequent violations found in commercial spaces and their reported effects. Students practice identifying and prioritising defects in case studies.

Lesson 3 • Retail and Shop Vastu

Applies entrance, cash counter, and display rules to retail environments. Students analyse a shop layout and identify energy-flow improvements.

Lesson 1 • Plants, Water Features, and Symbols

Incorporates living elements and symbolic objects to enhance or neutralise zone energies. Students select appropriate plants and features by direction.

Lesson 2 • Principles of Vastu Remediation

Establishes the hierarchy of remedies from structural changes to symbolic corrections. Students learn to match remedy intensity to defect severity.

Lesson 3 • Structural Remedies and Renovation

Covers wall removal, door relocation, and extension additions as permanent corrections. Students evaluate when structural change is the only viable remedy.

Lesson 4 • Yantra, Crystal, and Pyramid Tools

Explains the use of geometric tools such as yantras, crystals, and pyramids as energy correctors. Students learn correct placement protocols for each tool.

Lesson 1 • Client Communication and Report Writing

Develops professional skills for presenting findings clearly and managing client expectations. Students draft and peer-review a complete consultation report.

Lesson 2 • Multi-Storey and Complex Building Audits

Applies Vastu analysis to high-rise apartments, mixed-use buildings, and campus layouts. Students handle stacked mandala analysis and shared-space conflicts.

Lesson 3 • Conducting a Full Vastu Audit

Outlines the end-to-end audit process from site visit to final report delivery. Students practice each audit stage using a multi-room case study.

Lesson 4 • Integrating Astrology and Numerology

Introduces birth chart and numerological inputs that personalise Vastu recommendations. Students learn to adjust directional advice based on occupant data.
