Rangoli - the colors of Magic!!!!



Creating colorful patterns on the floor has been an Art practiced since years now. The geometric patterns of unique shapes and designs of leaves, flowers and petals are created on the floor. 

 


  
The designs made with rice, turmeric and vermilion. Rice holds great spiritual and ritual significance   and a potent symbol of auspiciousness and prosperity. Like any agricultural crop, rice is closely related to human fertility 

Turmeric with the orange and yellow coloring has healing qualities and has religious and cultural significance too. The dried turmeric root is considered as symbol of purity, prosperity, and fertility. 



Vermilion is widely used in decoration and art. The aged manuscripts and the paintings linked to Renaissance period. The Chinese red is another name for it and it’s a symbol of love, affection and passion.

Vaastu & the color Red!!!!!!



Colors pacify our mind and stimulating our energy levels. Our mood, health & happiness are all affected by the colors at our Homes. So, What is the significance of color Red..Of course it is associated with power, determination, passion, desire and love. 


The other side of this color also signifies blood, war & danger. In Eastern Chinese culture, red is the color for good luck. It’s also the traditional color for weddings. We do use this color to attract attention of others. Perhaps have lot of red in our wardrobes or use them at home for our curtains and bed sheets. It does enliven the interiors and creates excitement in our lives. 


However, red should not be used in the bedroom, as it is too energizing. When used in bedroom, it can be overpowering and stressful. It has been scientifically proved that being surrounded by too much of the color red tends to make us become irritated, agitated and ultimately angry and we become cautious, manipulative and fearful.

Vaastu & Bells !!!!

What is really significant about bells? Bells at churches, temples & Buddhist Monasteries. Feng Shui too recommends bells hung on the Main door. The Wind chimes too have strings/bells and are used in variety of ways. The metal bells in copper and brass have been a tradition with their origin and have adorned the necks of cattle, camel & sheep since ages. Bells are even rung while celebrating Independence days of few countries, Xmas Celebrations and used by Ships too for signalling.





The sound produced by ringing the bells is really charismatic.We might shut our ears to any loud noise but are carried away with the sounds produced by the bell. No matter how loud it is; it doesn't seem to bother us. It is known to keep negative energies at bay. Each bell would produce a sound that is distinct and science has proven that such a sound unites our left and right brain. Ringing the bell in the North Direction at Home/Sacred place/Brahmasthaal (Centre of Home) can work wonders.


Doesn't the expression "Wedding Bells" ring any bells!!!!!!

Does your Kitchen & Toilet have this in common......





Common wall for the Toilets and kitchen have become a common practice in the apartments these days. Lest the Builders would realize its ill effect.  Water is known for its properties to dissolve impurities. We bathe and cleanse in toilets and even though tend to keep the region dry, some water does seep through and gets soaked by the walls too. 




The kitchen sharing such a wall is prone to the negative Vastu in the surrounding. Kitchen is considered a pious zone in the house. We cook our meals there and as they say “We are what we eat”. If we were to even consider the Five Elements in Vastu, Kitchen represents Fire and the Toilets, Water. Water and Fire are never compatible with each other. This is also the reason for having the kitchen sink not too close to the Cooking Gas/Cooking Inductions

Vaastu for Kitchens (I)

Kitchen being a woman's arena in the house should never be neglected. The health of female natives of the house correlates to it's Vaastu. The positive energy in the kitchen is essential for the well being of the family too. 




The science of Vaastu suggests the color of slabs in the kitchen as black. The color black absorbs the  heat. Black has a tendency to absorb all wavelengths of light and reflects none. Kitchen is the only area of house where maximum heat is generated as a result of cooking.
The black granite/marble kitchen slabs serve best for this purpose.Excess heat if not absorbed can affect us and increase negative Vaastu in surrounding

Vaastu & Relationships!!!


Positive Energies at home improve Relationships....Avoid keeping articles in front of the Main Door as the shadow of such articles drive negative Vastu in the house. It is observed in a few apartments or floors where we have basements;  such sites are generally fit for commercial use and should not be subject to stay as it not only hampers the relationships amongst family members but also brings ill luck and misfortune


It is auspicious to have the entrance to the site/property in the same direction as that of Main Door and this enhances the Vastu of the house
 and aids in maintaining healthy relationships



We tend to stick pictures or images on the Main Door. It’s suggested as per Vaastu to have brass metal symbols to attract positivity and improvise the look of Main Door.




Storage of shoes is advised in the shoe rack kept on the sides of the Main Door. Shoes should not be kept in front of the Main Door


Synergy of Cosmic Energy & Vastu

The term ‘Cosmic' can be referred to as ‘energy particles in the space surrounding us’. This form of energy has its source in the Sun and is emitted by Sun to our planet. How and why Vastu would be related to these energies? Well the crux of Vastu as laid in the Principles of Vaastu Shastra throws light on the positioning of objects around us in synchronization with the eight directions. Going slightly more in depth we can relate the directions to the five elements – Air/Water/Fire/Earth & Space. 


Our bodies contain portions of these elements in varied proportions. If we were to relate this back to our discussion on Vastu; an effective synchronization can take place only when the Directions around us are not carrying any defects. Even if there be defects in these Directions due to improper placement and even if Vastu Rectifications be required to improvise on these Directions; in turn the after effect would be the whole surrounding around us taking a shape to absorb the positive effects of these Cosmic Rays. The cosmic energy being emitted from such an important source, being the Sun has to impact our bodies and in turn our minds. The little known facts do make some meaning (‘Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body). 


With the consequences wherein our bodies get charged up with the cosmic energies and thereby we are able to perform our day to day activities with greater diligence making us happier at the end of the day. In my researches I have laid special emphasis as to understand the flow of energies and the synchronization of these cosmic energies with the magnetic gravitational energy which in turn affect us. 



The balance in the angles of the walls in the house to the corners which need to be kept heavy and the areas in the house which have to be kept lighter are all governed by theory of weight which as a result are proportionate to the five elements.

Lunar Eclipse & Effects on Vastu of Home




            Lunar Eclipse & Effects on Vastu of Home

It’s a rare spectacular event that occurs and one cannot miss the gaze at the magnificent beauty in the sky being shadowed by our own very planet.


The Signification of Moon is linked to the North West Direction according to the Vaastu Principles.


The Direction is symbolic of the creative sides in all of us, world of dreams & imagination existing in our minds. The planet Moon also symbolizes wealth, fortune, wisdom and travel.


With the advent of eclipse the North West direction of our homes does get affected and this region tends to be surrounded with negativity.


We should ensure cleaning of the Homes with rock salt in order to regain the synchronization of energies in order to lead a happy and successful life..


 




Hope you won’t forget to drain away the water in the aquariums and other water plants and refill them with fresh water at home post the eclipse..
