What is Vastu Shastra?

Vastu shastra, these words literally mean "Science of Architecture.” And you won’t believe how detailed it can be. This ancient text consists of all the principles including ground preparations, design and layout, space arrangement, measurements, as well as the knowledge of shape, size, direction, position and movement. 

Why is Vastu for homes important?

The aim behind application of vastu shastra is to create a peaceful and harmonious balance between the inhabitants in the space and the environment. According to these ancient scriptures, every living and even non-living thing has energy within them and Vastu shastra for home helps to channel the flow of those energies within a structure. If the flow of energy is not managed, it can impact the lives of the occupants. Following Vastu principles can help minimize or ward off negative energies and maximize positive energy at home bringing in peace and prosperity with a space. 

Now that you know what Vastu Shastra is and why it is important. Let’s move on to…

Tip no. 3: Keep your house clutter-free. 

Yes! Keep your space organized and do not place things in the corner of the home. Your home should be clutter-free, as having lots of unused items stored in the corner or in a room can attract negative energy. 

Tip no. 4: Decorate your main entrance. 

Do you remember, in the old days, homes used to have designs painted on the entrance of the house. Something like this…

This is not just a design to make the floor beautiful, but a vastu principle to attract positive energies. 

Tip no. 5: Do not put clutter under the stairs.

In many Indian households, it is a habit to store either shoes or unused items under the stairs. You should also not put cleaning materials, or a bed or bed under the stair. This can attract negative energies and obstruct the flow of positive energies. Keep the place under the stairs clean. You can also place plants and add a water feature to maintain the flow of energies within the space.

Tip no. 6 : Do not use or place cracked or chipped items. 

Keeping or using chipped or broken items such as mirrors, frames, god idols, utensils, is a big vastu no-no. It is believed that using such items blocks the flow of energy, thus bringing bad luck and hurdles in life. It also represents being stuck or failing. So, it is always better to either fix them or get rid of them as soon as possible. 

Tip no. 7: Vastu tips for home temple

There are a few things that you should keep in mind while building a home temple. The first thing is that never, never built a temple using discarded materials, such as used wood. Secondly, do not put two idols of the same god in the temple. Keep the temple neat and clean. And always build a square or rectangular-shaped temple, as they represent four directions. 

And, if you are placing pictures of gods and goddesses on the wall, make sure to place them a few inches apart from each other. So that energies don’t clash and have space to move.
