Vaastu, which literally means ‘house’, is a science (Shastra) of arranging the five elements – earth, water, fire, air and sky in complete harmony. Experts say that the fundamental principle of Vaastu shastra is to add value to a man’s life. Behind every vaastu guideline, there is a scientific reasoning that aims at providing an organised and convenient life to everyone. Believe it or not, Vaastu does have its effects and a few changes in your house can bring a lot of peace in your life.
Keeping in mind the ‘ready-to-movein’ houses (where changes related to ‘architecture’ are not possible), we caught up with the renowned Vaastu expert Jai Madaan and resolve 20 feasible changes you can bring in to balance the equilibrium of the house.
1. At the entrance if you have a naked wall, place a statue or a picture of Ganesha. Since a naked wall represents loneliness, it is a good way to conceal it.
2. If the boring of your building or house has been placed in the wrong direction, it is best to have a picture of Panchmukhi Hanuman, facing South-West to the boring.
3. North -east direction is the best place for meditation. Do meditate in this direction for spiritual growth.
4. Place scenery in the North East direction depicting a long road for good vision and planning.
5. Place a family photograph in the south-west direction in a yellow or golden frame for healthy family relations. Or a picture / painting of sunflower
for a healthy family bond.
6. Place a picture or painting of a rising sun in the east direction for healthy social relations.
7. Place the study table of your kids in the east direction for improvement in studies.
8. Numbers of doors and windows should be even in the house.
9. Placing red galloping horses in the south direction can provide a steady flow of money and bring harmony.
10. Keep a single mattress on the bed for healthy marital relation. Also, the wife should always sleep on the left side of the husband.
