In olden days shops were run by only one creed, now a day all the people are interested to run and maintain shops. A profession of 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 one proverb saying 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 business or work is done 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 vastu 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 vastu of a shop or any working place has a direct influence over Man, as that of his house.
The vastu shastra sincerely worries about people’s development. It likes to be an armor 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. Young and energetic men are handsome. But, when they become aged or old, they become hump-backed. Their lovely, fleshy cheeks and their skin become dry and hanging over the body. Why? The natural forces (e.g. gravitational force) are acting upon man continuously with the same intensity forever. Man counters these forces by his vital energies and his body becomes healthy and handsome, so long as he is able to overcome these forces. But, when he attains old age the vital energies are slowly dried up or wasted and he readily succumbs to natural forces and his body droops down. In the someway, natural forces are always acting over man and we have to counter or fight with them with vaastu forces in order to overcome them and live a better life. So for a shop, office, showroom, shopping complex, malls, factories or industries etc., the vastu shastra should be strictly followed without fail. Even a small vastu defect can lead to huge losses. Hence, it is necessary to know the vaastu principles for shop and other working places. The location and shape of the plot is more important for a shop or any commercial set up.
