It’s been close to two years that
I have blogged; this was the time I was introspecting and learning new areas of
Quantum world / Metaphysics / Para science and questioning “WHY” for most of the unanswered
questions, especially the remedies. No doubt the remedies work, but WHY and HOW… what is the science and logic behind it kept me busy
researching. Now I am convinced, researched various case studies and spoke to
many a people who have seen visible impact.
One the key take away from my
study in the last two years is people falling in trap due to lack of knowledge
/ wisdom coupled with MISCONCEPTION and BLIND
FAITH that creates fear and get pulled into the vicious circle of various
so called remedies causing more harm than good.
Firstly, directions play a vital
role in VASTU, let’s understand how to find direction; this is sometimes
confusing when we are not using the magnetic compass. Stand before Raising Sun, that is the East i.e..,
you are viewing East direction, now at your back will be West direction, left
hand side is North and right hand side is the South direction. If you have a compass,
its easy, EAST is 900, WEST is 2700, North is 00
or 3600, South is 1800. We have four more directions and
they are NORTHEAST 450, SOUTHEAST 1350, SOUTHWEST 2250,
and NORTHWEST 3150.
Each of the directions have a
preceding deity,
EAST is ruled by INDRA the king of demigods
NORTH is ruled by
KUBERA the treasurer of demigods
SOUTH is ruled by YAMA the lord of death
WEST
is ruled by VARUNA the lord of Rain/Water
NORTHEAST is ruled by EASHWARA …
lord Shiva, the most powerful god among the trinity …
NORTHWEST by the demigod
VAYU the lord of Wind,
SOUTHEAST by AGNI the lord of Fire
SOUTHWEST by
Nairti is said to be the Chief of Demons. Often shown riding on a Donkey, a Lion or a Man and surrounded by demons and seven apsaras. Some refer this direction to Demoness Putna and few also simply call this Rakshasha Corner.
Let’s STOP here, and question… HOW and WHY are these gods named with
directions, what is the science behind this, do demigods really exist, what the
rational our ancestors preached us this way, there is a difference between
VEDAS and PURANAS, the vedas don’t describe god like the way PURANAS do… the
UPANISHADs have a very different , is god is all powerful and he always takes
care of you why follow such things… one humour often told is we INDIANS pray GOD
with mantras … the language we don’t understand, when asked, jokingly one said
so what if we don’t understand, GOD understands… well, that’s not what I want
as an answer, and I’m sure lot of you who are reading are not convinced why
some things are followed … there definitely is a scientific reason but due to
lack of proper knowledge transition from our ansistors to us we have lost it.
Many a vastu books that I read tell the outcome but fail to explain the
rational … for example don’t place kitchen in north or north east, it will burn
your cash and you will face troubles it’s the corner for GOD and Puja room
should be there… is KITCHEN not a place of worship… don’t we Hindus worship the
Rice… it’s called ANNABRAHMA… and the maker of rice ANNAPOORNA… often you would
have observed people calling your wife / mother an incarnation of ANNAPOORNA
after having a good meal … then why this misconception… similarly there are
many other things that are been told and advised to do and not to do…
One other thing we should note, if one veiws above the earths pysical plane, North and South are fixed axis while East and West are reletive, earth rotates on its own axis. Vedic concept focuses on earth being the center and all other starts / planets rotating around it. While Heliocentic astrology calculates from Sun as center and earth as a celestial body. Vastu too needs to be seen from this angle. Dont blindly consider east and west as fixed points, see from the spatial dimension too.
Per my research, I can conclude VASTU
is more of ENERGY and ENERGY balance and
is UNIQUE… remember this phrase UNIQUE TO EVERY INDIVIDUAL, Vastu
consulting should not be done unless you see a Horoscope of the person.,
Astrology and Vastu go hand in hand, based on the positions of the planets that
resonate with ones blueprint (Kundli) and the movement of the planets that
impact a biorhythm the Vastu should be aligned and suggestion be given to the
individual. Go back and check all those people who have kept a Puja room in the
east direction, are they Happy… or those who cook in the NorthEast direction
unhappy… no… definitely not… there are various nullifying factors that come
into picture. One should carefully analyze all positives and negetives before
recommending a change … I had a person who told me he spent more than INR 3
Lakhs to renovate his living room and changed the door from west to north as
per advice given by some Vastu expert, he took a loan and ended up repaying the
EMIs for almost 2 years, and there is no visible improvement in what so every
lifestyle … in fact his life before was well to do and was much healthy compared
to now…
I happened to read his horoscope
and also of his wife, going thru that realized he is a LIBRAN and so his wife
too, his daughter is also a Libran and Son’s zodiac Gemini with this combination
a WEST Facing home is absolutely blissfull and he would have faced more comfort
in a west facing home than that of the current renovation… this is only one
such example… there are many more…
Some of the most common
misconceptions I have researched are…
-
- EAST is auspicious, and main door should always
face east, otherwise you will lack peace and prosperity. Go back and research,
how many people have doors in other directions, are they not prosperous. Remember
one rule does not apply to all…
-
Planting Trees in the WEST and not in the EAST… in
fact planting trees in the EAST is more beneficial, the morning sunrays are
good not only for the human but also for the trees… its scientifically proven
-
Kitchen should be in East … this is one of the
very big misconceptions… in the olden days women did not go out of home in
sunlight, and this was a preferred way for them to get the Vitamin D.
-
Vastu plays a very vital role and is connected
to religion is another misconception, Vastu is not limited only for Hindus… it’s
a common principle of energy balance, beyond directions its about connecting
with the five elements (Air, Water, Earth, Space and Fire)
-
Study in the East direction to increase grasping
power is another misconception, you can study in any direction, people preferred
east in olden days due to sunlight and usually the Gurukul systems … children
faced east seeing raising sun which is more soothing. This will also avoid the
shadow of the child to fall on the book / material he/she used to study upon.
-
Money should be kept in Northeast, well, this
misconception rose due to widely preached philosophy of keeping puja in the
northeast and the safest / sacred place where people will not try to steal
from.
-
8 directions form vastu is a the most known myth
or misconception, Vastu is not about 8 directions, vastu is about energy
balance, cosmic rays, vastu is science, vastu is beyond 8 directions, its
actually 64 dimensions that needs to be studied along with 12 Zodiacs, 27
Nakshatras and 9 Planets (according to Vedic astrology), vastu also is about
Numbers and Numerology plays a very vital role, Vastu also is about physiognomy,
its mysterious occult science coupled with quantum theories and principles of
mathematics going beyond the earthrl plane into the astral world.
-
Vastu in my opinion is about connecting your DNA
with the BIORHYTHM of the given place to ensure you take right decisions which
will impact your HEALTH, WEALTH, PEACE, PROSPERITY and overall WELLNESS
