Vastu from the Wisdom of Acharya Ashok Narayann
Vastu is a part of Vedas, which are believed to be four to five thousand years old. The art of Vastu originates in the Sthapatya Veda, a part of the Atharva Veda.
It used to be a purely technical subject and it was only confined to architects (Sthapatis) and handed over to their heirs. The principles of construction, architecture, sculpture etc., as enunciated in the epics and treatise on temple architecture, have been incorporated in the science of vastu.
Description is there in epics like :-
Matasya Purana | Skanda Purana | Agni Purana | Garuda Purana | Vishnu Purana |
There are some other ancient shastras that pass over the knowledge of vastu shastra to next generation, like Vishvakarma Prakash, Samrangan Sutradhar, Kashyap Shilp shastra, Vrihad Samhita, and Praman Manjari.
The Vastu, with word meaning ‘dwelling’, is believed to be the residing places of god and man. It covers all buildings irrespective of their use like residences, industries, business establishments, lodges, hotels etc.
7 Vastu Perspective to attract positive energies in your house:
- Entrance, Name plate outside your door.
As per Vastu Shastra, everything enters from the entrance; the nameplate bears the owners name that will help the positive energies to find the owner. In case you have an empty wall at the entrance, place a Ganpaty statue or picture on it, Lord Ganpaty represents prosperity, intellect, fortune and bliss.
- Fire – One of the five elements. Lighting earthen diyas or essence sticks in the home helps to clear the negative energies present in the home. Removal of negative energy helps to spread the positive vibes properly inside the home.
- Pictures and Posters- Don’t put any poster which is related to any war scene or sad scenes. These images enhance negative energies and impact the peace of mind within the family members.
- Place wind chimes or bells at the entrance or windows, it will enhance positivity and positive energy.
- Always construct your kitchen in the southeast corner of your house. Negative energies from kitchen will affect your health. Kitchen should always be at a good distance from your washroom. Never keep medicine inside the kitchen, health related problem will always be there.
- Master bedroom should be always be in southwest direction. Married couples should use a single mattress for their bed and wife should always sleep on left side of their husband. Never place a mirror inside your bedroom, or cover it with a sheet, so that your bed won’t get reflection from mirror.
