An educational institution is a place of learning where one acquires knowledge, education, and values that help in building one’s character and personality. Therefore, it is essential to construct such an important institution appropriately, following Vastu principles. When Vastu principles are followed, both students and teachers can benefit from the learning centre.
For an educational institution, the North or North East direction is the ideal direction as per Vastu principles. Jupiter, the lord of knowledge and education, and Mercury, the lord of mental vitality, rule these directions. Therefore, students studying in an institution built in these directions may achieve fame and recognition both in their native country and abroad. Additionally, such an educational institution may also gain national and international popularity.
Selecting the appropriate land is the first priority when constructing an educational institution. The land should be square or rectangular, with four corners measuring 90°. If the North East side of the land is extended, it is auspicious for an educational institution. Additionally, if any natural water resource like a pond, river, or fountain is present in the North East direction, it can enhance the institution’s popularity. Tall trees and plants, dense population in the South West direction, and maximum open space in the North East direction can also contribute to the progress of the educational institution.
Constructing a boundary wall around an educational institution is essential as it generates positive energy and magnetic waves. A land that generates positive energy and electromagnetic waves is highly auspicious and brings peace, happiness, and prosperity in the lives of the workers. Therefore, a solid and high wall should be constructed in the South West direction, while the slope of the land should be in the North and East sides. Such construction can increase the popularity and prosperity of the educational institution.
The land for an educational institution should be in the North, East, or West direction, and the entrance door should be in the North, East, or North East (lshan kona) direction. This is considered good and brings auspicious results, and the entrance door should never be in the South West direction.
The front portion of the educational institution should face the East direction as the first rays of the Sun arrive from the East direction, and North East is where we get the life-giving energy. This can help the teachers perform their duties well and teach effectively, resulting in commendable performance by the students.
A large land is required for the construction of an educational institution. If the construction is being done in sections, the North and East parts should be kept open, and the construction work should start in the South and West directions. The construction work should be done on all four sides of the land, and Brahmasthan should be kept open. No partition, nail, or heavy object should be kept in Brahmasthan, and it should always be kept neat, clean, and empty.
