Vastu Shastra can be explained as a science of organising the Home scientifically so that all the main & major components of nature / prakriti remain balanced. It is stated that our Prakriti / Nature is constituted by the 5 elements, which are – Agni (Fire); Jal (Water); Prithvi (Earth); Vayu (Air), and Akash (Space). Any type of imbalance of these 5 components of nature creates difficulty in the life of the dwellers and invites lots of negativity in the House. The 5 elements are the gateway of the cosmic energy, and disruptions of any elements block the road of the cosmic energy. Therefore, every homeowner should consult a professional Vastu Shastra specialist before constructing or renovating or decorating or organising any house and make necessary changes if any to gain the ultimate output or productivity in the form of financial abundance or prosperity. Therefore, the following are the eight(8) key steps which will help to harmonise or make a continuous flow of energy in your house and bring financial stability in your life.
- Keep the main entrance repair-free and beautiful
The main door is the 1st step from where the Goddess Lakshmi enters your house. According to Vastu Shastra, the main door of one’s house is one of the main spaces which attracts most positive energy, wealth and prosperity. Make sure that the main door is built attractively and there are no cracks or faults in the main entrance. The locks function runs smoothly. Also, place some plants, wind chimes and a name plate which can be clearly read at the entrance of the house.
- Cash Drawer or Lockers or Almirah, or Safes
It is stated that the financial assets, papers, bonds, shares, Jewellery, and money should be kept in the earth corner of the House. The south-west corner of the house is treated as an earth corner, and any type of financial assets tends to multiply in this corner. Therefore, all the Cash drawers, lockers, almirahs or safes containing money, Jewellery or financial assets should be kept in the southwest corner of the house facing northeast. Facing the safe or Almira containing money in the direction of South or west will attract a heavy flow of money, or financial losses or expenses.
- Kuber Yantra
Kuber is the God of Wealth or money and resides in the northeast direction of the home. Therefore, one should avoid any type of dirty work on this side. The bathroom, toilet, and shoe rack should not be on this side. This side should be organised in a very beautiful and gracious manner. One Kuber Yantra can be kept in the northern wall of the house to bring financial prosperity in the home.
- Free, Specious Home
Home should be neat & clean and free of any type of clutter. Any person who enters one’s life should have good feelings. There should be a good amount of flow of air or ventilation and sunlight. Sunlight is the main source of energy for all things. Therefore, any home devoid of sunlight and poor ventilation should be avoided. Flow of air or proper ventilation can be designated as a flow of wealth into the house. A wind chime at the main door of the house is a very good option for the entry of wealth into the house. The centre position of the house is very important, and it should be kept clean and clutter-free. Apart from these, every window, door of the home should be cleaned regularly. In one word, the neat & clean home is key to success in relationships, finance and every aspect of life.
- Place the water foundation and small aquariums
In Vastu Shastra, it is believed that a Fish has the power to purify the bad energies of the House. Therefore, a small aquarium with little fish can be kept in the north-eastern side of the house. Fish aquariums also enhance the psychological as well as the scenic beauty of the house. Aquariums can bring energy in three ways into the room, i.e. in the form of living animals like fish; in the form of watery plants placed into the aquariums; and in the form of small water bodies in the House. All these will help to bring financial stability to the house. One thing must be kept in mind that the aquariums should be kept clean or washed regularly. Otherwise, stagnant and dirty water in the aquariums can create financial obstacles.
- Water leakages
Water leakages are taken very seriously in Vastu Shastra. It is assumed that water leakages are just like the drainage of wealth or financial loss. Therefore, one should be very careful about leaks of water in the Home. It might be leakages in the Bathroom, Kitchen or from pipes or walls; early and speedy action is needed to prevent leakages to control financial loss or expenditure.
- Plants and Birds
Plants in the home are also said to increase prosperity. The plant with purple colour, or a money plant in tub of purple colour can be kept in the home to increase the wealth of the home. Bird feeding is also a good sign, which brings financial inflow into one’s house. A bird feeder can be kept in one’s house on the north-west side of the house. The Bird should be fed in this feeder, and a sufficient amount of water should be made available in that area. Bird feeding is also taken as a remedy in times of financial crisis.
- Toilet or Bathroom
The most negative energy creator in Vastu Shatra is the Toilet or Bathroom. One should make a separate toilet and bathroom if possible. Construction of a bathroom or toilet without understanding or consulting Vastu Shastra leads to manyfold disaster in life. It can lead to financial crisis, disturbance in family life, health issues, etc. The north-west side of the home is best for the construction of a bathroom or toilet. Never build or construct a toilet or bathroom in the southwest corner of a house.
