This action also affects other beings and humans found on the surface.

Vastu faults

Sometimes it seems that after millions of hard work, success is not being achieved or the money earned is not stopping, and income day fights, health problems, and mental disturbances are symptoms of Vaastu dosha. According to Vastu, building a house is not an easy task. Mostly, there are some shortcomings while building a house, due to which Vastu dosha remains at home. This is a defect that causes problems in your happiness, progress, money, respect, etc.

While entering a new house, make sure that there is a Vastu Dosh on the house or not! To find the defect, you must first take a newborn baby indoors. If the child starts crying as soon as he enters the house, then understand that there is negative energy in that house, and the Vastu of that house is not right. Sometimes things like being suffocated upon entering the house and being afraid to go home alone also point to wrong architecture or history of the house (someone's suicide, the construction of the house at a cemetery or crematorium).


You can use the Vastu Shastra tricks given below to get rid of these defects.
