Vaastu & Soil Testing

The land is the most important factor before starting a new construction project. Today with all the modern gadgets for soil testing available, it has become very easy to ascertain the grip and binding quality of the soil. Vedic Sages told a few simple procedures to test the soil. They said that before procuring a piece of land for construction some tests should be performed;

1.       Dig a pit of approximately 50cms X 50cms X50cms.

Refill it with the removed soil. If the soil still remains after levelling the pit, the land should be considered very good for prosperity and happiness, if the soil is just enough to fill and level the pit, the land should still be considered good but not very good for prosperity, and in case the soil fall short of filling and levelling the pit , the land should not be purchased or acquired as it would bring losses to the owner.

2.       Dig another pit of the same dimensions and fill it with water. Walk 100 steps away from it taking normal steps and come back.

If the level of the water is the same or has receded very marginally, land should be considered excellent for prosperity and growth, if the level of the water is still about three fourth, the land should be considered normally good but not very good and can still be procured, but in case the water level has receded around half, the land should never be procured for any purpose as it would bring losses and mental agony to the buyer.

The objects and things , recovered during these diggings should be carefully examined. Stone pebbles, shining stones, piece of a metal, snake skin or a live snake are very auspiscious indications, where as pieces of bones, termites, pieces of torn cloth are bad omens.
