The construction of your home plays a vital part in how good
your life is. A good home brings not just positivity, but also the enthusiasm
that is needed to complete our daily set of activities. This positivity can be
further enhanced if you build your home by following the principles stated in
Vastu Shastra, an ancient science which has its roots in Hinduism. Vastu
Shastra, also referred to as the "science of construction", takes
into account certain cosmic principles and advises the construction of temples
and homes based on those cosmic foundations. This article talks about a few Vastu Shastra Tips that can go a long way
in helping you build a positive home, for a positive life.
A Closer Look at Vastu Shastra:
Vastu Shastra was formulated many years ago, sometime
between 6000-3000 BC and states that earth, water, air, wind and fire, i.e. the
five fundamental elements, are responsible for our creation, and affect
everything that happens. This concept forms the foundation of the cosmic
principles stated in Vastu Shastra. These principles can help you drift away
from negative energy and enter a life which brims with positivity. However,
applying these Vastu principles is not limited just to the construction of the
house. Several other factors like surrounding places and plot direction play
their parts in determining the Vastu of your home.
Get the best out of your kitchen space:
The kitchen is the area where all the food for your meals is
prepared. This makes the kitchen one of the most important spaces in the house.
It is important to pay attention to the best possible construction and design
of the kitchen. The following Vastu tips for kitchen should be kept in mind
while designing the kitchen.
The most preferred direction in terms of placing the kitchen
is the South East. According to Hindu mythology, the South East, home to Lord
Agni,is the best direction for placing the kitchen. Lord Agni is known to
prevent fire.
The northeast should never be used for setting up a kitchen.
This direction provides a lot of sunlight, which is required more by meditation
rooms and/or living rooms.
The kitchen doors should be aligned towards the northeast
corner of the room where the kitchen is being made, and the windows should be towards
the east.
Vastu Shastra in Apartments
Thanks to a whole lot of high rise complex coming up, there
is a huge demand for apartments in these days. Apartments are actually not the
best option if you are a believer in Vastu, for apartments are pre-designed and
very few modifications can be actually carried out in terms of structure and
layout. But there are still certain Vastu tips for
apartments you can follow, if you're looking for positive vibrations in your
apartment. It is wise to look for an apartment which has its entrance towards
the east, north or north-west.
