It is often said that achieving the No. 1 position is challenging, but maintaining it is even more difficult—especially when others try to make it seem unattainable. Reaching this level of success demands unwavering confidence, relentless persistence, an insatiable hunger for achievement, and a strong desire to assert dominance or establish control over others. For some, this dominance may even be inherited through their lineage. However, dominance is not a skill everyone possesses.

That’s why it’s often better to focus on being Unique rather than simply being The Best. While being the best might make you No. 1, being unique sets you apart as The Only One. As I’ve discussed in previous articles, Vastushastra offers solutions to all your challenges. Here are some practical guidelines to help you overcome obstacles (and competitors) using Vastushastra principles:

1) Designing Your Master Bedroom According to Vastushastra

The bedroom is a highly private and vital space in any home. It’s where you relax, recharge, and spend roughly one-third of your day, resting both your mind and body. The stability of the head of the household is directly linked to the design and placement of the master bedroom.

Positioning your master bedroom in the Southwest area of your home is crucial for establishing dominance. The Southwest region is associated with the Earth element, symbolizing stability, inertia, and immobility. These qualities translate into mental, physical, and financial stability for the couple occupying this room. This strategic placement naturally enhances decision-making abilities, self-confidence, and the capacity to make tough decisions in adverse situations, thereby reinforcing control and dominance.

Do's -

• Auspicious directions – Southwest, South (2nd choice) & Southeast (last option).
• Preferably it should be occupied by a newly married couple for happy married life & stability in their relationship.
• It is strongly recommended for all CEO / M.D. / OWNERS or all such people heading or occupying highest or equivalent positions in any organizations or business establishments.
• Make it a tradition to handover master bedroom of Southwest to your Son after marriage & get yourself shifted to Northeast or any other bedroom for maintaining harmony within your family.
• However if they are the main responsibility holders of the family then it has more beneficial effect on them.
• Always keep joint photograph/s of the couple in happy moods on Southwest or South wall to promote solid bonding & healthy love relationship between them.
• While sleeping always keep your head towards South & legs towards north to ensure good health, improved immunity & sound sleep.
• Prefer a wooden bed over wrought iron bed & keep it 3-4 inches away from the wall.
• Always apply a single mattress on a double bed.
• Always prefer square or rectangular shaped bed, just 1-1.5 ft of height & 2-3 inches  above ground level with 4 legs.
• Keep your dressing table with / without mirror in East or North area.
• Always keep tumbled Pink rose quartz or in the form of solid rock in Southwest corner to facilitate & maintain healthy love relationship between you & spouse.
• Pink rose quartz will protect you from any negative energies in the surroundings.
• Any wall units, heavy wardrobes or Almirah to be constructed in Southwest, South or West area of this room & their doors should open towards East or North direction. 
• It is preferable to keep your safe deposit vault in Southwest corner of this room with its doors opening towards East or North to preserve your golden jewellery, precious ornaments, cash & your valuable documents of property or of any other importance.
• Always cover all the mirrors with curtain before sleeping & do not allow your reflection to fall into them to prevent you from ill health.
• In case of a multi storey house, your master bedroom should always be in Southwest corner of the top floor to ensure complete dominance & control over entire family.
• In that case elder brother should occupy Southwest master bedroom on the top floor & Southwest bedroom on ground floor must be occupied by younger brother.  
• In case of an apartment, the elder brother should occupy Southwest bedroom & younger brother must be given either South or West bedroom.
• Construct the entrance door of your bedroom in East, North or Northeast direction.
• Design attached toilets in West or Northwest area of your bedroom.
• Always keep all electronic gazettes away from you while sleeping for preventing  you from hazardous electromagnetic waves oozing out of them that may disturb your sleep & affect your health.
