As per Vastu Shastra, the exact center part of any residential or commercial property is called Brahmasthan. This place has a crucial significance in maintaining the overall balance of energy and vibes in any property.
The word Brahmasthan comprises of two different words – the first word is ‘Brahma’ which represents ‘Lord Brahma’, who is the creator of this universe as per Hindu mythology. And the other word is ‘Sthan’ which means ‘place’ in Hindi.
So the word ‘Brahmasthan’ represents the place of Lord Brahma. In Vastu Shastra, Brahmasthan is considered as the navel or pivotal point of the property. This part is used as a reference for marking the other directions and parts of the property.
Finding Brahmasthan Of A Property
It is quite an easy process to find out the Brahmasthan of any property. For this you have to take the layout or plan of the house then check if the layout is in the square or rectangular form or not.
If the layout is not in a square or rectangular form then you have to extend the outer lines of the structure to form a square or rectangle. Join all the outer walls with straight lines and give the layout a square or rectangular form.
Now to determine the center point or Brahmasthan of the house, take the layout which is now in a square or rectangular form. Then join the diagonally opposite points of the square or rectangle layout with one another.
Once you do this properly you will get an intersecting point in the middle of the property. This intersecting point is known as the center point or midpoint of the house and as per Vastu, it is called ‘Brahmasthan’ or ‘Brahmapoint’.
