DOORS OF VASTU
The house constructed according to the Vaastu principles is a symbol of welfare, prosperity and happiness. Doors of a house plays an important role for the inflow of Urja (Energy).
The public is generally confused about the number of doors to be placed in the house. The number of doors should be decided according to the requirement and it has no importance at all, even though, even numbers are usually suggested in the Vaastu books.
The doors placed strictly according to the Vaastu principles is auspicious while the door placed at wrong direction will create Vaastu dosh. For a better and positive result, another door should be erected just opposite the main door. If found inconvenient, at least, a window should be there. This is to let the Urja (Energy) from the main door flow easily into the house.
Open space left around the house as per the Vaastu principles allow the uninterrupted inflow of Urja into the house. More than two straight doors will reduce the quantum of positive energies flowing in.

The smallest of articles can make a huge difference in the way your luck runs for you. Doors and windows are not merely passages for insulation or for people to enter but are also gateways for positive and negative energies to come into the house. If a window is designed incorrectly in the wrong direction, it can pave way for the negative energies to come in and spell disaster for the inhabitants. Conversely, if the doors and windows are constructed in the right direction, they can bring in a lot of prosperity and luck.
This is also agreed to by Braunth Sanhita, which in one excript says –
“Mool Dwaaram Naanayyarabhisanthathi Roopdurya, Gatpal Patra Pramathibhishch Thanmadulau shrich nuyath”
Translation:
The main door of a residence must be bigger than any other door in the house. Also, it must be more beautiful compared to the others. This helps bring in luck and prosperity.
