Bangalore: Vastu has penetrated deeply into Indian homes, so much that it is a sacrosanct. Although there exist various versions of them, knowing the real reason for the rules is necessary, which many ignore. The "Vastushastra", that defines a set of guidelines, mainly focused at creating a positive energy flow inside a living space, keeping in mind about the five forces, viz. Water, Earth, Air, Fire and Space. Therefore, identifying the rationale behind the art is an important aspect. The highlights among the deep Pandora box of "Vastushastra" are: The Houses Facing the North-East Direction are Preferred According to "Vastushastra", the vital energy emanates from Northeast corner and it is a common practice to have more empty spaces in this region, while tall structures at south and west corner are preferred. In addition, obstacles should not be present in North and Eastern corners. Since the beneficial Sun?s energy comes from East direction, it is an auspicious place in Vastu. In addition, ample Sun light should penetrate your home and hence the homes should include such provisions. Include a Central Patio with Sky Above. This space has the utmost importance and serves as a gathering spot for various events such as the "yagna", the fireplace for rituals for the benefit of spiritual wellbeing of home dwellers; and social events such as marriages, concerts and other chief ceremonies. There is a belief that this place delivers insurmountable spiritual energy, and hence it is not just for victuals and sleep. This central spot has the name, "Brahmasthana" in the ancient texts. You can plant some small rooted plants, flowers and herbs in a part of courtyard. Medicinal plants such as "Tulsi" have a greater significance in Ayurveda and flowers for pujas and other religious events. The Main Bedrooms Should be Located in Southern Direction While sleeping, the head should not face north, as for the belief that it causes a negative vibe due to its alignment with magnetic north direction of the Earth. Therefore, the most preferred position for bedrooms is South West. In addition, irregular shaped bedrooms other than squared or rectangle ones cause turbulence, nightmares and restlessness during sleep. Vastushastra discourages the use of dark colored paint for the bedroom walls. Even hanging inspiring objects such as paintings or pictures is beneficial for its occupants. Bathroom Positioning Bathrooms should be in located either in the middle portion of the building or South East or South West direction. The water outlets such as sinks should go in North, North East and East direction. In addition, the walls should have lighter shades of colors such as white and sky blue. Avoid dark colors such as red and black. The positioning of windows is at the North or Eastern direction, aligned with the direction of Sun. Vastu has undoubtedly become a lucrative business, more so in India, with many real estate companies offering Vastu compliant homes to end users. However, it takes a bit of searching and getting the right professional Vastu expert to get the right energy at your home.
