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.

Five Elements of Vastu & Us

Air - We breathe and the flow of energy around us is relative to the air current at our site. The Direction of the Main Door, Windows at Home/Office sites and the ventilation's open to the skies affect this flow. Keeping the Doors of the Rooms and Windows open to Sunlight improvises this current significantly promoting positivity in the surrounding.
Water – Our bodies contain close to 60% of Water and the Energy gained from this source is vital to keep our bodies feel rejuvenated. The temperature of Water we consume affects our behavior and in turn affecting our attitude and lifestyles. Keeping the storage of Water in the appropriate Direction can provide us the appropriate temperature making us feel active and charged up the whole day. Likewise if this storage happens to be in an anti Direction according to Vastu Principles; the Water we would be consuming can have adverse affects making us even feel lethargic.
Fire – We cook our foods on fire and at times use other appliances like a microwave oven which has high temperature to cook our dishes the way we wish to have. Keeping the cooking gas stoves in the correct Direction does affect the food being cooked on and an incorrect direction as per Vastu for this source of energy around us can spread negativity around which in turn makes us feel angrier at times or making us feel low and sad.
Earth – The constructions have a foundation on the land and the currents flowing at the core of Earth have an influence on the buildings too. The Buildings constructed in appropriate Direction can gain the access of Cosmic Energies surrounding us and such Buildings absorb them to the maximum whereas the Buildings in an incorrect Direction as advised under the Principles of Vastu Shastra get influence of the negative energies as they get absorbed in these Directions
Space – According to Einstein it expands and contracts depending on what velocity we’re moving at, and it gets bent out of shape by the presence of solid matter. Due to the movement of our planet around the Sun and the Solar Energy affecting our lives accordingly and the rhythmic effect of this element on our minds and souls is immense

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.
