Well vaastu believes that the world is made up of five elements namely earth, water, space, air and fire. It all depends on how we place these elements in our house. The placement of these elements can enhance prosperity, peace, health etc. For example according to vaastu the kitchen should be in the southeast. As this part of the house is least effected by dust and germs it helps to cook healthy food. The main door of the house should be in east or northeast this brings in prosperity to the house. A bedroom should be in the south to ensure a good night sleep.
