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.
