VASTU SHASTRA: AGE TEST

How to calculate the age (Life Longevity) of your constructed Building? 

We can calculate the Life Longevity of the constructed buildings through the Vaastu Astrology. You need to multiply the value of "Dhruva Padam" by 27; and the multiplication value must be divided by 100. The Remainder value from the division is considered as the "Age" of the building that are constructed on the site.

Example 1:  Let us assume that your Area of your construction site is 2400 square feet (40 feet length x 60 feet width). The "Dhruva Padam" value of your Land site is 266 (already, we have seen the method to calculate the "Dhruva Padam".

Let us multiply the "Dhruva Padam" by 27: 

266 x 27 = 7,182

Let us divide the multiplication value by 100:

7,182/100 = Quotient is 71; the Remainder is 82.

Here the Age of the buildings that are constructed on the site is 82. Please find the following results under the "Age Test"

1. Poor Life Longevity: If the Remainder Value is 0 to 25, then the building will face death and destructions within 25 years from the year of the construction. 

2. Medium Life Longevity: If the Remainder Value is 25 to 50, then the building will have a life span that is below 50 years. The Occupants of the building that is constructed on the site with 2400 square feet as its "Area" will live in comfort. 

3. Good Life Longevity: If the Remainder Value is 50 to 100, then the building will last for longer period of duration. The Occupants of the building would be blessed with excellent wealth and good health; and would be gifted with wonderful peoples from the future generations. 

Author's Opinion: A building will face demolition (for various reasons) within the 0 to 25 years, if it gets value less than 25 during the "Age Test". Here the building constructed on the "Plot" that has 2400 square feet as its "Area" will last longer for generations.

VASTU: YONI TEST

How to test the strength of "Yoni"?

You need to multiply the value of "Dhruva Padam" by 3; and the multiplication value must be divided by 8. The Remainder value from the division is considered as the "Yoni Value" of your construction site.

Let us multiply the "Dhruva Padam" by 3: 

266 x 3 = 798

Let us divide the multiplication value by 8:

798/8 = Quotient is 99; the Remainder is 6.

Here the Yoni value for your construction site is 6. Please find the following results under the "Yoni Test"

1. Dhvaja Yoni: If the Yoni Value is 1, then the native would be blessed with wealth and comfortable living.

VASTU: HOW TO CALCULATE "DHRUVA PADAM"

Why the Dhruva Padam is important in "Vastu Astrology"?

As per the Vastu Astrology, the calculation of "Dhruva Padam" is primary but highly essential. In the Vastu Astrology, we are going to see "Matchings" (or) "Porutham" between the Land and the native, who owns it. This is a specific method like the way that we calculate the "Matchings" (or) "Porutham" between the "Boy" & Girl" for a successful and happier marriage. That is, we are going to find the various aspect of the native's life, while living in a particular Land site (or) the buildings constructed on it. Here the "Dhruva Padam" is the very important factor for many of the calculations under the "Vaastu Astrology"

How to calculate the "Dhruva Padam"?

Let us, calculate the "Dhruva Padam" using an example. Let us assume that the Land that a native is supposed to construct a house is 60 feet in width; and 40 feet in length.

1. Let us calculate the Area of the Plot:

Area of Plot:

60 feet x 40 feet = 2400 square feet






2. Divide the Area of the Plot by 9: The Quotient from the division is considered as "Dhruva Padam"

    2400/9 = 2400 - 2394 (266 x 9 = 2394) = 266 (Quotient) and 6 (remainder)

Hence the value of "Dhruva Padam" for this particular plot is "266"

In the next posts, we are going to find various results happening in the life of the natives, by living in this particular site by using the value of "Dhruva Padam"
