'VAASTU SHASTRA' & ARCHITECTURAL ASTROLOGY FOR HOMES & BUSINESS PREMISES

VAASTU SHASHTRA: THE ART OF HARMONY BETWEEN MAN AND NATURE

 

In simple words ‘Vaastu’ is an ancient science related to ‘architecture & design’ of a building/house/room/land; in tune with the environmental forces (energy). The concept revolves around synchronizing the five basic elements of Earth viz Akash (SKY), Prithvi (EARTH), Paani (WATER), Agni (FIRE), and Vayu (WIND) with ‘Man’ and his ‘Works’ on Earth. Nature is life giving and life sustaining for ‘living beings’ and a ‘harmony’ must prevail between the ‘two’ for smooth progression. There is a ‘rule’ or ‘methodology’ that prevails in this cosmos and playing by it is to our good. The fantastic equilibrium evident in the entire ‘creation of God’ must not be disturbed.

The flow energy from North Pole to South Pole must not be hindered. Peace and tranquility will exist where there is no clash of energies. The doors must be opened to positive inflow and exits should be made for the negative outflow. There is no doubt that ‘designing’ & ‘interiors’ as per the rules of ‘Vaastu Science’ brings peace, enhanced productivity, joy, bliss and prosperity. 

For example:

* A ‘square’ shaped piece of land or house is most beneficial. House must face the East or North direction. 

* Maximum ‘wood’ should be used as building material.

* An old or damaged entrance door will bring disrespect to the owner. 

* Disturbing art pieces or war / torture paintings in a house will naturally result in pain & anxiety. 

* The doors and windows should not be squeaky and rusted. 

* Master bedroom to be in the South west corner, children’s room to be in the North West or west side. Study room to be separate. Kitchen to be in the South East location of the house. Kitchen located in the North or the East does tend to cause financial troubles. 

* Cooking while facing the East brings good health. 

* Wall Clocks should not be placed on the South and Southwest walls. 

* Leaking taps will drain out money. 

* The placement of mirror in the bedroom should be such that no part of the body is directly reflected in it while sleeping. 

* The feet should be away from the main door, while sleeping. They should not face the main door. 

* Head towards the north is not good when sleeping. 

* Beds should never touch the walls of any room. 

* The prayer room in the northeast corner of the building is good.

The significance of ‘directions’ in Vaastu Shastra: 

· East (Purab) (Manes): It should not be blocked, since it is the source of male issues. Controlled by Sun. 

· South-East (Fire) source of health, place of fire, cooking and food. Controlled by Venus. 

· South- Source of wealth, crops and happiness. Denoted by Mars 

· South-West -(Earth) source of character, behaviour, cause of longevity and death. Signifies ‘Rahu’

(node of moon). 

· West-Source of name, fame and prosperity. Direction of the great ‘Saturn’. 

· North-West - (Air) Source of change, income from business, enmity and friendship. Signifies ‘Moon’. 

· North-This should not be blocked as it is the source of female issues. The direction of Mercury. 

· North-East -(Water) Source of health, wealth, prosperity and of male issues. Denotes the divine ‘Jupiter’.

Athara Vedic Vastu for Pregnant Women

Are you pregnant or planning to have a child in near future? Then this article is for you. Apart from taking the modern medical guidelines into consideration, Vaastu can also help the would be mothers bear a healthy child.

Couples planning their progeny can use a Northwest (Moon) room as the first option or a Southeast (Venus) room as a second option until the onset of pregnancy.

Mother can then move into a Northeast (Jupiter) room as is explained later.

 

The place of the primary element Agni or Fire is the Southeast of an area. This author does not recommend a lady to live in a southeast room after the onset of pregnancy. It is a known medical fact that heat has a great implication in pregnancy. Anything that raises the lady’s core body temperature can amplify congenital anomalies, mostly during the first three months, when all main organs of the foetus are forming.

 

Electrical and Electronic Gadgets

 

Normally, a lady’s basal body warmth is higher during pregnancy. It is, therefore, advisable for the ladies to keep herself away from the electrical gadgets like computer, TV. This way, she can avoid increasing her internal temperature to a dangerous level without even being aware of it. Normally, a woman dissipates body heat through her skin and breathing. The foetus that is growing has normally a temperature, which is a little more than the mother’s and dissipates its heat across the placenta and through the mother’s blood stream. Foetal damage can occur if the mother or the foetus does not cool down quickly after the temperature of the core rises.

Certain studies have revealed manifold increase of miscarriages in women using computers. Computers produce unusually high levels of extremely low frequency magnetic fields. The Southeast sector of the building and the Southeast sector of a room are places to be avoided by pregnant women at least for the first three months. Medical science tells us that by the end of the fourth month, almost all the major organs of the foetus are formed. The brain stem and the limbs are formed and begin to mature. This period, commonly known as embryo-genesis, can cause organ-specific damage. However, brain development continues throughout the period of the pregnancy. Therefore, there is really no safe period for strong intense bursts or continuous doses of electro-magnetic frequencies during the months of pregnancy.

 

 

Thermal Heat

 

 

Research on the effects of thermal and non-thermal electro-magnetic fields has shown reported 50 percent miscarriages in pregnant women who slept in electrically heated waterbeds. Thermal heat is, therefore, another factor that affects pregnancy. When the Eastern part of the earth is heated, its Western part remains cold. Consequently, thermal electricity generated by the Sun travels over the surface of the earth from East to West. Therefore, pregnant ladies can avoid sleeping with their heads to the east instead they can sleep facing south as natural polarity of the body is maintained and health of both the mother and the foetus is taken care of.

 

 

Beneficial Ultra Violet Rays

 

A pregnant lady can sleep in a Northeast room. Vastu refers to the Northeast as Easanya or Devamoola, thereby indicating it is a very important spiritually elevated zone. It is a fact that the Sun rays can be split into 7 plus 2 colours. We speak of the Paramasayika mandala for human habitation (manushyalaya). This plan divides each side into 9 parts. Beginning from ultra-violet ray in the first part on the Eastern side corresponding to Northeast, the Sun’s beneficial rays further split into violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red and infra-red in the last part corresponding to the South-east. Ultra-violet and the cold colours of the spectrum are said to have a soothing effect on the body and hence, the Northeast room is recommended for the mothers.

 

Since blue has a cooling and has a astringent effect, a night lamp giving soft blue light in the room during night, is suggested. The other two colours violet and indigo which also gives cooling effect can also be alternated during the entire period of pregnancy. In case of pains, indigo can be an effective anaesthetic and can induce insensibility. Violet is said to be good for bone growth, maintaining the potassium and sodium balance of the body. Expectant mothers who regularly meditate will be happy to know what Leonardo Da Vinci has to say: “The power of meditation can be ten times greater under violet light… ”. To put it simply, violet is an inspiring and spiritual colour. Ultra violet ray, which is the head of the cold colours and is said to normalize all metabolism and glandular activities can also be used with the advantage

 

 

CAREER & WEALTH HOROSCOPE

"Nobody can take away your share of the destined 'booty' that you have earned through the 'karma' of many births and re-births. Come what may, that wealth is reserved for you and will be dispersed at a certain time, which may be through business, job or just plain inheritance. Astrology is the medium that identifies the magnitude and time frames of success" 

 

Vedic astrology identifies 'three' categories of destinies that operate within this human world. The first one is a 'fixed destiny' whereby the person has incarnated primarily to reap the consequences of his past birth and so is merely a pawn in the hands of his own destiny. This pattern is signified when most planets are placed below the 'horizon' in a horoscope (between Ascendant & 7th House). In such a case, opportunities are few and the person usually spends his entire life in a routine 9 to 5 job, with minimal professional satisfaction. As the pattern manifests, he resigns to his fate and goes along the flow. But it should be noted that this category of 'fate' is not necessarily good or bad. Such people simply have to wait till the 'opportunity' is bestowed upon them so that the future can be further chartered.

The 'second' pattern denotes a more mature soul, with planets placed between the Ascendant and the 7th House of the horoscope. In such incarnations, the person is at an advanced state of 'evolution' and is trusted by the divine cosmic fraternity and hence is given the liberty of 'free will' whereby they have much potential at their disposal. Their creativity, vision and hard work will give a momentous direction to the future.Many talents have already been bestowed upon them and so they are offered an open playground to make significant impact on society and humanity. High profile Artists, Entrepreneurs, Business executives fall in this category. In such horoscopes, the wealth houses (2nd & 11th) are also usually well fortified signifying the accompanying wealth, riches & success.

The 'third' pattern is a mixed bag with planets both above and below the horizon of the horoscope. This shows that the soul is progressing on the right path and hence is a beneficiary of both past and present karma. He will be born with a lot and will also strive to acheive something significant. Such people crave to make an 'identity' of their own and will not bask in the glory of their parents or anyone. This is also a successful category and on right side of the cosmic forces. But a word of caution comes in here, as this incarnation is a 'test' imposed on them, which they must pass. Many people are born to wealthy parents, but waste away their life indulging in pleasures of money and lust, contributing nothing to this world. Such irresponsible existence will surely lead to a downfall in their evolutionary status.

In Indian astrology, the destined means of livelihood of an individual is derived by the study of the tenth house, tenth lord, influencing planets, both in the natal horoscope, moon & navamsa charts. Wealth is indicated by the disposition of the ascendant, 2nd house and 11th house.
