8 ways to protect your finances and increase prosperity

October 12, 2016 By nikunja

Om Namo Bhagavate Narasinghaya

The energy of the South area of any given space is relatively ‘used up’ or depleted since it has already travelled from the Northeast, East and Southeast of your space. It is now somewhat negative, but we can channel and use it in such a way to bring optimal benefits and positive results into our life.

The beneficial and positive qualities generated from the South area of your home or business :

Passion, Determination, Endurance and Motivation.

A Vastu pundit who knows the science of Vedic astrology and Vastu can show you the traits of your Mars planet positioned in your horoscope. Since Mars rules the South direction, they can work hand in hand.

Mostly an open and light South can bring the destructive qualities of Mars;

Chaos, Thoughtlessness and Impulsive behaviour and unnecessary Expenditure.

8 ways to Protect your Finances and Increase Prosperity with adjustments to the South direction

To protect against financial losses due to chaos and impulsive behaviour you can make this space “heavy” through the use of large heavy furniture, large terracotta potted plants with sizeable leaves to capture the peak of the daytime sun rays from the South of your some.

Generally large windows and entrances are not recommended in the South, if you have these here you can use heavy curtains to minimise the negative effect of large windows, and external doors may be painted red. A few red coloured items; for example cushions or a rug, throws or decor will help strengthen your Mars.

However there is one point in the south where you can have an entrance, window or mirrors. This is where the energy of prosperity enters your premises and can be easily deciphered in a Vastu floor plan of your building.

This area should be preferably without any body of water.

Earth and Fire elements do well here like electric installations, fireplaces or heavy storage.

There should be no down hill slope towards the South but rather the plot of land should be higher than the North, Northeast and East.

Failing all else, and you don’t have the South of your house with any of the positive Vastu traits mentioned above, then fear not. We all have to start somewhere. ‘The journey of a 1000 steps begins with the first step’. That first step to your transformation is to ask for help from a power greater than ourselves.

Install the South-Narasingha Yantra on the South direction compass point, where it enters wall of room, house, building or plot, and ask for protection from unnecessary expenditure and losses. Open yourself to becoming prosperous with fruitful investments. During mantra recital create the possibility of manifesting wealth and maintaining a continuous momentum.

A Vastu pyramid is a powerful remedial tool for counteracting spatial defects and restoring balance and harmony especially if you are not able to make the vastu adjustments required immediately. This tool can be utilised to help us create our own personal transformation. The pyramid’s powerful effect will make positive subtle adjustments to the environment it is installed in. Since our space is a reflection of our own current karmic play out, we are treating the symptoms, whilst the mantras, affirmations and meditations gradually cure the ‘disease’.

Ideal room placements for your home

September 6, 2016 By nikunja

Where is the best place in my house for my bedroom? Where’s the best place for my home office?
Chart of Ideal Room Placements within Eight Compass points of your home

Using the scientific principles of the twelve Vasati laws, this diagram shows the ideal room placements within the eight compass points of your home.
You can see where the five natural elements; Fire, Water, Ether, Earth and Air are prevalent within each direction.
Positive Energy potential of the elements, weights and space as well as favourable and supportive planetary influences are best achieved by assigning the room functions as depicted.
You can see the Vastu Purush lying with his head towards this is very sensitive space in the Northeast (Water and Ether). His feet lie in the Southwest (Earth)
The centre (Brahma sthana- the seat of Lord Brahma) of your home is sacred space ideally reserved for family members to come together and socialise.
The Northwest (Air); your garage and pets can also be kept here. The Southeast (Fire); can also be very busy and productive areas of your home if used wisely. To understand this further refer to the Second Energetic law of Vasati
The life flowing energies begin to slow down in the South as they come from the Southeast. Energies are now totally consumed by the time it reaches the Southwest. The Western energies are also now coming to depletion as it becomes used up in the Northwest. As a result of the negative energies in the South, Southwest and West these areas are best made still and heavy and best used as bedrooms and heavy storage.
Another important consideration when choosing your personal rooms in any given space is to refer to your Unique Personal Direction which is calculated from your astrological birth data.

Vastu And Living With The Nine Planets

September 2, 2016 By nikunja

Living with nine planets

According to the scientific principles of Vastu all forces and influences of the universe which have an effect on us, can also be found inside the house.

By the help of the effective and simple system of the nine planets of our Sun system, we can very easily understand these influences. We can refer to the astrological systems of all cultures, they describe very precisely the forces acting upon us, influencing our fate binding us, as do ‘invisible’ threads in a spiders web.

All areas of our living space are represented by the nine planets and their interactions, so their positions can be seen ‘reflected’ in your life situations at home or work.

Just as various aspects of life are dominated by individual planets, building orientation, room functions, building materials and other details such as objects within your house are also under the influence of a certain planet. Inside any given space or your house, there is a lively exchange between these energies and also between the nine planets by which we are affected. Your dwelling place acts like a lens which focuses the influences of the nine planets on all the residents, allowing them to feel these interactions.

For instance, if you are in a North room in the of the house, you are automatically under the influence of Mercury, the presiding planet of the North. You can choose to set up an office here with the intention of administering your finances. You can receive support from the Mercurial energies which are very beneficial for this endeavour, since Mercury also fosters financial affairs in general. In this case you must see to it that the North is being designed according to Vastu principles. You can tap into the creative, feminine and healing energies from the North which originates from the centre of the Earth to assist you in communications and general office work. A computer is a compatible object with Mercury who is also responsible for communications. An office in the South is dominated by Mars planet and is under other influences. Mars tends to foster more pragmatic aspects of life connected to work, research or technology.

The following table assigns the dominating planets to each direction:

Direction — Dominating planet

East ————Sun

Southeast —-Venus

South———-Mars

Southwest—-Rahu

West———-Saturn

Northwest—-Moon

North———-Mercury

Northeast–—-Jupiter/Ketu

The eight directional compass points and their planetary correlations reveals a deeper understanding of their attributes and their effects on the inhabitants. A list of body parts of a person most affected by the planets can be found here. However, it is necessary here to know the most the important qualities of the nine planets which are paramount in Vedic astrology.
Your personal astrology data is used to determine your own personal best directions within any given space. By understanding the quality and division of space we can know how to utilise it for our benefit for optimal directional empowerment.
It is important to understand that ultimately planets do not force us to act. They merely reflect the frequency with which we are resonating within our karmic journey at a specific time and space (location).
The practical application of this wonderful science enables us to reap the benefits of the positive planetary influences available to us. We can minimise their potential negative aspects with knowledge of Vastu principles and transform your space like an alchemist.

The South -The Direction of Prosperity and Success

September 1, 2016 By nikunja

The Quality

The planet Mars represents the active emotional and vital projections of the self towards the outside world. It is the active male pole, personifying strength, courage and enthusiasm. Without its influence, no interest, passion or determination will ever develop. Mars is the planet of deed, and encourages mechanical abilities, self confidence, endurance, organisation and leadership qualities.Astrologically Mars mainly affects brothers and relationships between friends and associates whereas within the residence it mainly affects females of the family.

The Do’s

In the home this area is well suited for a bedroom. It also works well for a living room, a fireplace area and is also a good place for electric installations and storage.
In fact heavy storage here can minimise the negative qualities of Mars on a karmic level!
It is a good idea to keep this area clean and tidy.
You can offer the gemstone coral to Narasimhadev and place it in the South should a suitable place be available.
Artefacts or images depicting the elements earth and fire or any of the above mentioned qualities of the South stimulate positive Vastu here as is storing heavy potted plants with large leaves to provide the Earth element.
You can use a dash of any of the colours extracted from this Narasingha Yantra above, for choice of decor in the South of your personal space.
In the workplace, it is a good place for a cafeteria, relaxation area and security office, heating or lighting systems. Any room using fire, electrical storage would be a positive room function.

The Don’ts:

People whose constitution has too much of the fire element or Pita or those who have a strong negative influence of Mars in their horoscope should avoid this area for long periods of time.
Since fire and earth pervade here you can avoid a clash of elements by not storing water on or near this point.
This area should not be kept open and light and neither should there be extraneous activities be performed here.
The land should not slope downwards towards the South

Possible Negative Outcome:

Over time weak Vastu in this area (South) may lead the negative aspect of Mars to manifest; chaotic and destructive forces that can lead to thoughtlessness, competitive spirit, impulsiveness, accidents, injuries, financial losses, animosity and war.
In terms of your health watch out for measles, mumps and tendencies for infections, fever, colds and allergies.

Vastu Remedy:

Whilst chanting the Narasinghadev mantra you can place the Narasinghadev Yantra (see above) on a Tuesday or any other auspicious time and day, in the South point of your home or workplace.
Any severe spatial deficits can be further transformed and harmonised with the installation of the Vastu pyramid in the centre of your property or on the South point of your building and it will work in conjunction with the Narasinghadev yantra on your wall. You can thus nullify any Vastu discrepancies on the energetic and karmic levels and thereby create an auspicious space for you, your family as well as within your work space.

The Positive outcome:

When this direction is properly utilised we can discover prosperity and success in your life. Become enthused and motivated in your endeavours as well as protected from unnecessary financial losses.

The Centre of Your House

May 2, 2016 By nikunja

The Quality of the Centre

The Centre of a building is known as the Brahma sthana or the place of Lord Brahma.
Brahma is the sub creator of the universe, and he also resides on the middle of the Vastu Purush’s body in the centre of every building.
The other devas or demigods, personalities and sages who are also surrounding the Vastu Purush are all subservient to Brahma, he is therefore given honour and respect in this place.
The centre is considered to be sacred space and represents our inner sanctity and inner peace.
The Vastu Purusha (see his image in Yantra above) embodies the spirit of the building and is responsible for its well-being, is centered here.
He supports the convergence of directional energies.
He is the Symbol of Life Space and he lies with his head directed towards the Northeast, his feet to the Southwest and his joints are located in the two dynamic directions, the Northwest and the Southeast.

The Do’s

The Best Room functions for the Centre of your home and business;

Having an open centre or skylight window to allow light and air from above to enter your space is the best Vastu for here.
Meeting, socialising and relaxing with close or intimate friends, family members or business partners.
If there is no open space in the centre of your house then use the centre for neutral activities such as as a dining room, living room or spacious hallway or a room that leads to other rooms.
A centre roof should slope towards the East and North.
The walls in the centre of house should be white
In India, the sacred tree, Tulasi, is usually kept in the centre of the courtyard. Circumambulating this holy tree cleanses the aura and uplifts the consciousness.

The Don’ts

Avoid keeping heavy storage or immovable items in the centre area since the subtle Ether element needs ‘space’.
No clutter and clear space as much as possible.
Any fire element here may increase any digestive disorders but of course electricity is unavoidable since it is everywhere, so try to avoid electrical heaters and fireplaces.
A kitchen is not positioned auspiciously here
Nor is a staircase
Nor a bedroom
Nor a toilet

The Negative outcome of Poor Vastu Has shown the following problems:

Unsteadiness of mind
Restlessness
Anxiety
Problematic family relations and emotional trauma

For Your Business

Creativity stifled
Dissatisfied customers and staff

Diseases fostered by long term weak Vastu in the Centre include

Digestive disorders
Stomach-aches
Mental instability

The Vastu Remedies

You may be unable to utilise all of the positive functions for the centre area. However you can by make use of Vastu tools for generating and amplifying all the positive energies the Centre has to offer you.

Install the Vastu Purush Yantra (see figure at top of page) at an auspicious day and time in the centre point of your home, either on the wall or ceiling with the head of the vastu purush pointing towards the Northeast.
Around the Yantra there is a geometrical structure made of three circles, in which the 32 directions of the sky are named and numbered. This structure has the effect of an antenna and at the same time of a mechanism, which strives to align the microcosm of your living space with the macrocosm of the universe.
Attune yourself with the energies of these Yantras and Mantras and go within yourself to become grounded and centred.
And try to ensure there is clear open ‘space’ here but this may not always be possible.
If that’s the case then it would be a good time to install the activated Vastu Pyramid in the centre of your building. The powerful Vastu Maha Purush Mandala is also contained within the centre of pyramid.

The Positive outcome using Vastu Principles

Positive Vastu here can create an environment that is supportive for overall good health, peace within ourselves and in our dealing with others.
We can utilise the energy here to get more in touch with our inner peace and calmness.
Mental and emotional stability and other positive health benefits are further benefits to be received.
