Introduction to Vastu Shastra
Buying a new home is not just moving to a new place; it’s a chance to create a space filled with positive energy and harmony. Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian science of architecture that helps in designing homes to bring well-being, prosperity, and happiness. It has been practiced for over 5000 years and combines natural elements and human living spaces.
Understanding Vastu Compliance
Vastu compliance means designing and arranging your home according to Vastu Shastra principles. These principles focus on balancing the five elements (earth, wind, water, fire, and space) and the eight directions to create a peaceful and happy home. A Vastu-compliant home aims to enhance the flow of positive energy and improve the quality of life for those living in it.
Why Vastu is Important
Vastu Shastra connects the physical environment with overall well-being. A home following Vastu can:
– Encourage spiritual growth and inner peace.
– Promote good relationships among family members.
– Ensure a balanced and positive energy flow throughout the house.
Vastu Shastra Tips for Buying a New Home
1. Orientation
– Main Entrance: The main entrance should face east or north to attract positive energy. Entrances facing south or west are less favorable.
2. Living Room
– Location: The living room should be in the northwest direction, which is linked to wealth and prosperity. Arrange the seating so that people face north or east.
3. Kitchen
– Location: The kitchen should be in the southeast direction, associated with fire and energy. Place the stove in the southeast corner and the refrigerator in the northwest.
4. Bedroom
– Master Bedroom: The master bedroom should be in the southwest. Place the bed so you sleep with your head facing east or west, but not north.
5. Bathroom
– Location: Bathrooms should be in the northwest. Ensure they are well-ventilated and avoid placing mirrors inside.
6. Lighting
– Natural Light: Ensure plenty of natural light, especially from the east or north. Do not block windows with heavy furniture.
7. Colors
– Positive Colors: Use light and bright colors like white, yellow, and green to attract positive energy. Avoid dark colors like black and red, which bring negative energy.
8. Plants
– Placement: Place plants in the east or north to bring in positive energy and avoid placing them in the south or west.
9. Water Features
– Location: Place water features like fountains in the northeast to balance the home’s energy.
10. De-cluttering
– Organization: Keep your home tidy and clutter-free to maintain positive energy flow. Avoid piling items in corners.
Basic Vastu Tips for Home Buying
– Main Entrance: Ensure the entrance faces north, east, or northeast. This is easier to confirm during construction but can be adjusted in ready-to-move homes.
– Room Directions: The kitchen should be in the southeast, the master bedroom in the southwest, and bathrooms in the west or northwest.
– Room Shapes: Avoid circular rooms. Prefer square or rectangular shapes.
– Water Tank: Place the water tank in the west or southwest, ideally two feet above the topmost slab.
– Ventilation: Ensure good sunlight and ventilation to enhance wealth and prosperity.
Vastu Color Scheme for a New House
– Positive Colors: Use neutral tones, pink, coral, orange, and yellow to neutralize negative energy.
– Depression or Allergies: Use recommended colors for beddings or decor if any family member is affected.
– Unsure Choices: When unsure, white is a safe option for walls, reflecting positive vibes.
– Avoid Black: Black absorbs light and emits negative energy, making it unsuitable for home interiors.
Applying Vastu Shastra principles in your new home can greatly improve your living experience by creating a balanced and positive environment. By considering the orientation, room placement, colors, and natural elements, you can make a home that meets your physical needs and nurtures your well-being and happiness.
