RBSE VU Vastu Vigyan study plan

Map the 16-zone (padas) and 9-zone grid systems onto a hand-drawn plot plan using a scale ruler, labeling all eight cardinal and eight intercardinal directions

List the classical sources (Brihat Samhita, Mayamata, Manasara, Vishvakarma Prakasha, Samarangana Sutradhara) and write one line on what each contributes to residential planning

Define the core residential placement rules for kitchen (southeast, Agni), master bedroom (southwest), puja room (northeast) and toilet (northwest/west) with the reasoning behind each

Diagnose five sample plot shapes (square, rectangular, L-shaped, cut corner, extended side) and record which are acceptable versus remediable

Draw the Vastu Purusha Mandala with all 45 devatas in correct positions and label the Brahma sthana at centre

Apply the 32-pada and 81-pada subdivision schemes to a plot and explain how pada count affects door and wall alignment

Evaluate site selection criteria: soil testing (dig-and-fill, water absorption), slope direction, road position (which side the road faces), and plot proportion rules

Identify the nine planetary directions (dig-pala) and match each to its guardian deity and zone

Compute the ayadi formulas (aya, vyaya, yoni, nakshatra, vara, tithi) by hand for three plot dimensions and check the remainder rule for each

Explain the five elements (pancha mahabhuta) and their zone assignments, and state how imbalance manifests in a building

Compare open space (compound) requirements on all four sides and rank their relative importance

Trace the historical development of Vastu from Vedic origins through the medieval treatises to modern practice in a short timeline

Assign colors, materials and element-balancing treatments to each of the 16 zones and justify each choice by element logic

Specify furniture placement rules for living room, bedroom, dining and study with the directional reason for each item

Categorise remedies into non-structural (colors, mirrors, plants, metals, yantras) and structural (wall shifts, door relocation, demolition) and state when each is appropriate

Design a remedy for a north-east toilet, a south-west kitchen and a cut south-east corner, explaining the elemental reasoning for each

Draft a commercial layout assigning owner's cabin (southwest), accounts (southeast), sales (north/northeast) and staff seating by zone

Outline industrial siting rules: factory orientation, heavy machinery placement, raw material versus finished goods storage zones, and water and boiler placement

Plan an institutional layout (school or hospital) applying entrance, administration, classroom and service-area zoning

Explain how modern building codes, fire egress and structural grids can be reconciled with Vastu grid alignment, and note where compromise is unavoidable

Match each planet to its direction, element and Vastu zone and list what a weak or afflicted planet implies for a corresponding zone

Explain the logic linking the birth chart (rashi, nakshatra) to plot selection and house orientation without overstating causation

Compare Vastu and Jyotish as systems: shared vocabulary, different objects of analysis, and the limits of correlation

Review at least three classical text passages on planetary association with directions and summarise the consensus and the disagreements

Set up a drawing kit: scale ruler, compass, set square, tracing paper, and produce a plot plan at 1:100 and 1:50 scale

Measure a real or simulated site and convert field measurements to scaled drawing dimensions without error

Apply the compass (diksuchi) correction for magnetic versus true north and record the correction on a drawing

Produce a north-arrow, scale bar and title block per drawing conventions and check a peer-style self-review of dimension accuracy

Complete a full Vastu audit of one existing building: zone overlay, defect list, severity ranking and costed remedy schedule

Write a case study of 600-800 words presenting the audit, the reasoning and the recommended corrections

Revise weak domains using a timed 40-question mock and log every wrong answer with the correcting principle

Assemble a portfolio of all drawings and sheets from weeks 1-8 into a single indexed document
