The Central Energy Field : Brahma , the Creator – Brahma Vithi

Lord Brahma occupies the central portion – the Brahmasthan. This portion is the Brahma Vithi. It is
the most sacred part of the building. It contains within it, all the possibilities of creation and
existence.

First the Shilanyas (foundation stone laying ceremony) is done and the construction of the
foundation walls begins by digging the earth. When they reach the plinth level, the divine energy
field called Brahma starts to originate right in the center of the plot.

This field of Brahma – the absolute is responsible for the evolution of everything in the universe. This
is why the universe is also termed as Brahmaand (the golden egg of Brahma).

The 4 Energy Fields next to Brahma – The Deva Vithi

Devta Name Description

Aryama
evolution.

Vivaswaan

The power of inspiration and action. This energy provides support and leads to

As the construction of the building progresses and the raising of the walls is done to a height of
about 5-8 feet , the energy field of Brahma starts to expand in 4 directions.

Out of the 12 Adityas mentioned in the Bhagavata Puran , the above 4 occupy the 4 sides of
Brahma.

Sun or Surya-the Guardian of the East

We all know that Lord Brahma has 4 heads. Thus these 4 devtas are symbolic of the 4 heads of
Brahma. They are responsible for carrying forward the process of creation initiated by Brahma.

The 8 Energy Fields in the diagonal directions – The Manushya Vithi

After the raising of the walls ( but the casting of the roof is remaining) , the energy fields start to
spread in the four diagonal directions viz. North East, South East, South West and North West.

This flow of energies is akin to a tortoise spreading its legs and extending them out of its body.

In each of these directions, two energy fields start to take shape and form. If we draw a line dividing
the North East to South West and from North West to South East, one energy fields develops on
either side of this dividing line.

The North East direction represents the head and the South West direction represents the legs /
lower half of the Vastu Purush.

The names of these energies are as follows :

NORTH EAST

1. Apaha ( generates the energies responsible for healing)

2. Apahavatsa (carriers the healing powers to the occupants)

SOUTH EAST

3. Savita (energies that help to initiate any process or action)

SOUTH WEST

5. Indra (energies that establish stability and enhance growth)

7. Rudra (energies responsible for support and ensure flow of activities and life)

8. Rajyakshma ( energies which uphold the support and stabilise the mind)

The 32 energy fields of the outer periphery – Paishacha Vithi

A total of 32 energy fields develop in a concentric pattern in the outer periphery of the Vastu
Purusha Mandala. These energy fields represent the 32 possible Main Doors Entrances as per
Vastu.

Once the roof is cast in the building, four energy fields start to develop in each of the diagonal
directions. Thus, a total of 16 fields develop in the diagonal directions which are as follows:

NORTH EAST

1. Aditi (the mother of the devtas, this energy field provides security and helps one connect
with himself/herself)

2. Diti (the mother od the asuras, this energy field gives the powers of a wider vision and to see
the actual truth of life)

fructification of all their wishes)

2. Papyakshama (the energy which gives addiction, diseases and the feeling of guilt)

Once the super-structure, i.e. the civil work is done but the installation of services like plumbing,
electrical connections etc. has not begun , 16 more energy fields start to develop in the four
cardinal directions. These are as follows :

EAST

1. Jayant (the energy which gives the sense of being victorious, it refreshes the mind and body)

Marmasthan (Marma points) in Vastu Purush Mandala

Marmasthaan in Vastu Purush Mandala

While a Vastu architect meticulously plans the layout, there’s a hidden blueprint you must honor—
the Marmasthanas in Vastu Purush Mandala.

When designing a property, it’s not just about aesthetics or functionality—there’s a deeper layer of
energy at play.These Marmasthaans are vital energy points that must be dealt with extreme caution.

These extremely powerful but sensitive energy points in the Vastu Purusha Mandala are key to
creating a space that feels truly alive and harmonious. You can safely assume that your property’s
energy flow can hinge on these very critical points.
In Vastu Shastra, Maha Marmas are the cosmic energy coordinates we should never disturb. These
powerful nodes are sacred intersections where energy lines converge, much like the veins of a living
body carrying Prana. According to the ancient text Brihat Samhita, there are nine Maha
Marmasthanas, calculated at the intersections of six diagonals within the Mandala (as shown in the
diagram above).

In revered works like Vastu Soukhyam and Samrangangan Sutradhara, these diagonals are called
Vanshas and extend between specific energy cells from:

• Shikhi to Pitra

• Aditi to Sugriv

• Jayant to Bhringraj

• Roga to Anil

• Mukhya to Bhrisha

• Shosha to Vitatha

The Maha Marma points mark where these lines intersect, representing the head, mouth, heart,
navel, anus, and nipples of the Vastu Purusha. Just as in the human body, these sensitive points
must never be harmed. The horizontal, vertical, and diagonal lines within the Mandala act as
the veins of the Vastu Purusha, channeling life-giving cosmic energy and transforming your plot into
a living entity.

Why Does It Matter?

Disturbing these energy points—through pillars, nails, heavy structures, or even poorly placed doors
and windows—can cause significant energy imbalances. Such disturbances, referred to as Marma
Vastu Vedha, can lead to severe Vastu defects, impacting the harmony and prosperity of the
property.

Treat your property like a living being. Respect the Marmasthanas, and you’ll unlock a space that not
only supports but also amplifies your well-being, success, and peace.

Installation of the Vastu Purusha Mandala – Vastu Purusha Sthapana

A few common questions which we come across are:

• How should we do the Vastu Mandala sthapana or where to bury Vastu Purush or Vastu
yantra?

• What are the ideal directions to put Vastu Purush in the house or the best Vastu Purusha
location in the house?

• Should we put it on the floor or bury underground?

This is what we believe :

There is absolutely no need to put any Vastu Purush structure in your house. Neither an idol on the
ground nor any Vastu Purusha Yantra underground.

The Vastu Purush is a metaphysical being. It is a diagrammatic and geometric representation of the
whole universe.
In other words, it is a combination of 45 different energy fields that exist within every built-up
structure. It’s there in a 100 sq.ft. Office and it’s there in a 50,000 sq.ft. Factory.

Whether or not you place an idol or yantra, these energy fields (together called the Vastu Purush
Mandala) will exist in different proportions in your building.

Therefore, all you need to do to please the Vastu Purusha is to deign your house as per the tenets of
Vastu Shastra, keeping in mind the Vastu Purusha Mandala. This is the biggest offering you can make
to the Vastu Purusha. Above all, this is the greatest favour you can do to yourself and your family.

Conclusion

This is how the 45 energy fields develop and progress as per the Vastu Purush Mandala. These Vastu
Mandala devtas and asuras manifest and move life and contribute to everything that happens in
the lives of the occupants.

“The Vastu Purusha Mandala represents the manifest form of the Cosmic Being; upon which the
temple is built and in whom the temple rests. The temple is situated in Him, comes from Him, and is a
manifestation of Him. The Vastu Purusha Mandala is both the body of the Cosmic Being and a bodily
device by which those who have the requisite knowledge attain the best results in temple
building.” – Stella Kramrisch ; The Hindu Temple, Vol. I

We can replace the word temple above with any built up structure like a house, factory, office etc.
Every constructed structure is really the manifest form of the cosmic being.

The universal equation of the Vastu Purush Mandala has been in existence for thousands of years
and will continue till eternity. It is the fundamental principle which will continue to create and run
the whole universe both at the macro and the micro level.
