Importance of Sun in Vastu

Importance of Sun in Vastu

Direction of the Sun is an important consideration while constructing houses based on the principles of Vaastu Shastra. The Earth orbiting the Sun receives the heat and the light from it. It is indeed a life giver to our planet.

While we design official buildings and homes based on the Vaastu principles, it becomes extremely important to consider the exposure of such buildings and the direction which is exposed to sunlight.

Nevertheless we should not forget that the Sun rays are a source of warmth and light too, which is essential for the well being and general health of the inhabitants of any dwelling.

The science of Vaastu lays emphasis on the directions which receive the positive effects of the rays from Sun and this would, as a result have a direct impact on the rising temperatures in such directions.

Also the rooms in the East and North directions need to be kept well lighted and what best could be than natural sunlight as the source.

A well lit room in these directions not only aids in providing financial stability to the inhabitants but also helps in improving the familial bonds and relations. The interiors of such rooms need to be bright in colour with soft shades on the wall with and thin curtains on the windows to allow the cosmic energies of the sun rays to positively charge the surroundings. The North/East regions in a commercial building can have wall of windows of huge glass panels to allow the sun rays to seep inside the building and energize the environment.

Abundant sunlight from the West direction would disturb the good Vaastu from this direction.

Since this direction relates to the planet Saturn in astrology, getting abundant heat and light in this direction would result in affecting the health of inhabitants of such a site.

In today’s world  most of the shopping malls are constructed with the roof open to the sky. The traditional houses built in the olden days also had the central portion of the homes open to sky. The rays of the Sun hitting such a central portion or 'Brahmasthal' of any home would energize the effect of cosmic rays in this portion. As such the 'Brahmasthal' is considered to be very sacred and any negative element in its surrounding should be checked.

Since our daily activities require more energy during the day, homes should have the sunrays falling off the morning Sun in the rooms where we are likely to be present during these times. Blocking the rays of Sun seems to be one of the trends in today’s modern lifestyle. We come across apartments with their Kitchens 

and Bedrooms and Bathrooms facing the Sun and in order to avoid the glare of the morning Sun we cover the windows with either tinted glass or thick curtains to block these rays. Little do we realize that by doing so we causing doing more harm than protecting ourselves from the glares.

We also tend to use more of artificial and electric lighting to illuminate our homes and offices. It’s time we greet the Sun. The morning Sun rays falling on the beds in bedroom results in disinfecting them of germs and keep them crisp and thus we can enjoy the benefits of peaceful sleep as we retire to our bed. Buildings and tall trees right outside the door/windows tend to block the sun rays also affect the Vaastu of homes or offices.

Some other ways we can include the power of the sun in our daily lives are:

Worshipping Sun God by offering water to the rising Sun helps in receiving the beneficial cosmic rays into the site as the energy from these rays blend with the flowing water as it drops on the ground.

In Yoga, the Surya Namaskar 

is considered to make our bodies the medium between the Earth and the Sun thereby rejuvenating our bodies and minds.

The Vaastu of any house/office gets enhanced with windows, balconies and doors in the East. Keeping them open in the mornings and allowing the sun rays to enter the premises reduces the negative energy in and around the place.

The washrooms/bathrooms in these directions which are to be strictly used for bathing while getting exposed to the golden Sun rays give a charismatic effect. While at work we should take care that we do not block the golden rays of the morning Sun with blinds on windows.

The Sun sets in the West and though the rays are not visible to our eyes, yet the rays of the setting Sun entering the home/office premises does not promote good Vaastu. For this very reason the washrooms and other water bodies – aquariums, small decorative fountains are not recommended to be placed in this direction. The water has a property of absorbing the radiations and energies in its surroundings. The non visible rays get absorbed in the water and affect the good Vaastu of that particular site.

Vastu remedies for a site are plenty and the Vastu defects of any site can be removed with proper placement of furniture and positioning of articles at homes and offices without rebuilding and reconstructing. By doing so, we create harmony, positive energy and encourage healing in not only our physical surroundings, but also of our mind, body and soul.

Effect of the Main Door of House

Name:KalaivaniCountry:USACity:St.LouisSite:Comments:
We are looking for a new home in USA. And we have found a house where the main door falls in South quadrant (very slight deviation to SW). The living room and the master bedroom is in North Quadrant and the kitchen is in East Quadrant. The additonal bedroom is in South Quadrant. The Garage is in West quadrant. We really liked this home. But just checking whether this layout has good vaastuso that we can proceed with the rest of the formalities. Please advise.

The Position of Main door at any site holds great relevance and is of prime importance. Also the structure of the Door and the height and width of the Door needs to be appropriate too as per the guidelines of Vastu Shastra. Since the Main Door to your site ( as referred in the query) falls in the South Quadrant, though the deviation being towards South West would attract the negative radiations more and is prone to give sudden changes to the lives and lifestyles of inmates residing. Also, this Dosham can be removed by positioning appropriate articles in the surrounding and taking measures to generate the positive effect of Vastu at the site.
The Master Bedroom in the North is again not advisable as per the Principles of Vastu.
The position of the garage too is important for getting the utmost cosmic effects of Vastu as the smoke emitted from the vehicle as we start should not affect the good Vastu around. Also certain Directions are meant to be heavier and there are others which need to be kept lighter.

Vaastu defects at any site can be removed by maximizing energy at positive zones and synchronizing the flow of energy based on five elements (Air,Water,Earth, Fire & Space) in relation to the Principles of Vastu Shastra by placement of furniture and positioning of articles in the appropriate directions. The effect of cosmic radiations and synchronization of these cosmic energies with the magnetic gravitational energy which in turn affect us; makes our Homes & Offices Vaastu compliant thus promoting a positive environment for healthy and happy living.
