The Effects of Colours, Symbols and Words On Vastu Yantras

Colors:

Yantras may be multi-coloured or all one colour. Although yantras also have an effect when they are all one colour, the energetic influence and clarity are being amplified by the use of colours.
The colour spectrum represents the spectrum of the subtle energies. The colours are assigned to the different planets and each direction, and they will be used if the energy of a certain planet or direction is to manifest in the yantra. If you draw the same yantra in different colours, you will get yantras with slightly different effects.

Symbols:

Symbols are another important part of yantras, because they symbolize the subtle power of a certain planet, entity or object. Traditionally such symbols are being used all over the world in geomantics in order to influence the energies of the earth and space.
The power of symbols is not exclusively due to their psychological effect, because otherwise it would not be possible to prove some effect on plants or other natural energetic systems independent of a human observer. However, various scientific methods have brought about such proofs in numerous cases.
For years the Slowenic geomantic Marko Pogacnik has been performing geomantic healings of landscapes, places, cities, forests and parks in many parts of the world, simply by carving symbols of nature’s elements and natural entities in stone and placing them in points which are energetically effective, the acupuncture points of the respective energetic system. The effects of his earth acupuncture is so convincing that even city councils and administrations ask Pogacnik to perform such landscape healings in their areas.

Words:

The written word has a great effect in the subtle realm, because it carries its meaning in a fine energetic vibration. That means that the effect of a writing does not necessarily depend on someone reading and understanding it, but that is has an effect beyond consciousness.
For instance, if you write down words with a positive meaning such as love, hope, kindness, belief, mercy on a piece of paper and put a glass of water on it, the positive vibration of these words will be transferred to the water. This transfer can be amplified or accelerated, by lightly striking the glass with a spoon. You will get the same effect if you write down these words on a bottle of water in which the water is being stored. The positive effect of such affirmations can be proven by the aid of modern photographic methods. Water exposed to positive affirmations crystallizes in wonderfully beautiful harmonious forms, whereas water exposed to negative affirmations crystallizes in disharmonious, chaotic forms.

For this reason, most yantras contain written elements in addition to the geometric elements and symbols. In general these writings are in Sanskrit, as it has an especially energetic effect. The letters of Sanskrit are vibration images representing the sound image of the corresponding sound. Sanskrit words or sentences written or pronounced, aiming at manifesting a certain energy, power or entities, are called mantras. A mantra is a written or spoken sound vibration, which has the power to free the mind. According to Vedic tradition every energy, power or entity has its own mantra, by which it can be addressed.

Planets:

In the Vedic world view, every planet is dominated by a certain aspect of God. These aspects are presented in the form of the 10 of the twelve Vastu yantras. It is completely safe to apply them, they cannot have any negative effects, because they do not simply amplify the power of the planet they represent, but balance it in an intelligent way. For instance, if a certain planet is weak in your horoscope, it will be strengthened by the yantra. If a planet is acting negatively due to it being in an ‘attacked’ position by another planet, then its effect can be neutralised.
You can apply the yantras according to a very simple principle. If you find a Vastu defect in the house or on the plot, you find out first which planet is affected by this. Once you have identified one or more planets, you place a yantra to the spot affected respectively. In most cases you fix the yantra on the wall; the height of the yantra depends on the yantra selected.
The following list provides an overview for the height of each yantra. The details given below refer to the body parts of a person most affected by the planets.

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 Northwest-The Direction of Relationships

March 24, 2016 By nikunja

The Quality

The Northwest, under the sway of the Moon, governs your emotional and mental stability. The Moon represents the female principle in the universe and therefore forms the polar opposite of the Sun. The Sun represents the self of the cosmos and the Moon its spirit. The polarity of the Sun and the Moon can also be found in love and willpower, activity and passivity, mind and body etc. The Moon influences your emotional and mental well-being and also affects your intellectual capabilities. The Northwest area influences the quality of your relationships but equally it affects the success of your business endeavours; since communications, personal interaction and exchange of ideas are fundamental building blocks to your expanding business.

The Do’s

Do draw upon the colours from the Vasudev yantra when deciding the colours to use for your interior decor and especially cream and whites are compatible for the Northwest. The Best use of the Northwest:

It is helpful to maintain a flow of activity i.e. as much movement as possible here. This is conducive for generating the vital element ‘Air’ to flow and get important projects moving ahead.
It is well suited as a guest reception, or a recreational or social room
A Guest room
Bookkeeping in a home office
Trading /Sales
Family meetings; since this is a great area for creativity and exchanging ideas
Daily Pantry
Playroom
Children’s bedroom

The Don’ts

Avoid keeping heavy immovable items in the Northwest since the air element needs space for circulation.
No clutter
Any fire element here will increase your expenses but of course electricity is unavoidable since it is everywhere, so try to avoid electrical heaters and fireplaces.
Please try to avoid any missing Northwest segments and corners in the structure of building
Northwest building extensions which cause it to be further extended than the rest of the building are inauspicious.

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

Moody behaviour
Unsteadiness of mind
Irresponsibility
Fickleness
Inconsistency
Confusing communications
Excessive use of alcohol and/or food
Problematic family relations and emotional trauma

For Your Business

Trading figures down
Losses from high expenses
Inaccurate bookkeeping
Creativity stifled
Dissatisfied customer

Diseases fostered by long term weak Vastu in the Northwest include:

Respiratory and
Digestive disorders
Stomach-aches
Eye diseases
Mental illnesses and mental instability
Psychosomatic diseases

The Vastu Remedies

Improve your relationships and the quality and effectiveness with which you communicate and exchange ideas. Utilise Vastu tools for generating and amplifying all the positive energies mentioned above. You may not be able to utilise the positive functions for the Northwest area but you can take some remedial steps to realign your space.

Install the Vasudev Yantra (see figure at top of page) at an auspicious day and time or on any Monday.
Attune yourself with the energy of this Yantra and Mantra and you can learn to harness the lower mind and access your higher mind.
Strategically place either the activated Vastu Pyramid or the Meru Chakra and Sri Yantra on the Northwest point of your home.
And try to ensure there is a constant flow of air and movement. You can place a wind chime hanging from the ceiling here.

The Positive outcome using Vastu Principles

Positive Vastu here can create an environment that is supportive for healthy relationships by helping you be more in touch with your creativity and intuition. You can also be awarded success in business endeavours as well as have mental and emotional stability and other positive health benefits listed in organs above.

The First Basic Energetic Law Of Vasati

July 12, 2015 By nikunja

We have introduced the 12 Laws of Success for Healthy Living and Building and mentioned these 12 Vasati laws in an earlier post and here we are describing the First of the Four Energetic Laws in more detail. There are always many questions about the scientific foundations of Vastu, by understanding these Vasati Laws we can come to appreciate the authenticity of this science.

The First Energetic Law – The Geophysical Energy Current

The first basic energetic law of of Vasati is of a geophysical nature and describes the global energy currents on earth. The scientific research of European naturalists Viktor Schauberger, Wilhelm Reich and Karl baron of Reichenbach have irrefutably proved that an energy current from North to South and a secondary energy current from East to West flows over the surface of the whole planet Earth. Since these energy currents are of different origin they are of a different quality.

The North energy current follows North to South magnetic field lines and since its origin is the organic life of the Earth itself, it is called Organic Life Energy. Its quality is cooling, nourishing, female, substance building and healing. These qualities correspond to the magnetic field in contrast to those of the electric field, that stand vertically on the magnetic field lines.
The quality of the energy current flowing from East to West corresponds to an electric field and has its origins in the rotation of the Earth and in the relative motion of Earth and Sun. It is known as the Solar life energy and its quality is warming, vitalising, male and catalysing.
Both energy qualities complement one another and when combined in the Northeast to form the one life energy, which represents the whole spectrum of life-supporting processes.

The dynamics of these energy currents on a site are derived from a simple vector calculation rule that additionally describes the following combined two vectors:

Both North and East energy current vectors combine to form One energy vector that flows from Northeast to Southwest. This phenomena defines the vertical energy flow on any site, in any house or any room.

In the centre of any given room there is a strong Northeast to Southwest vertical energy that is flowing up and down the energy current vector and slightly bending to the Northeast and Southeast around the centre:

The First Basic Energetic Law of Vasati is followed followed by the Second, Third and Fourth.

How your space supports your relationships?

September 1, 2013 By nandini

Chart depicting the primary relationships affected by the eight directions

The Northwest

Northwest Yantra

The Northwest of your house is associated with the Moon. This direction offers perception and clear transmission of ideas, and affects our intellectual capabilities.

If there is a missing segment here or insufficient open space, it may cause lack of productive and heartfelt exchanges between family members.
This Vastu imbalance can manifest as mental instability and mood swings. An elongated or extended Northwest is shown to reflect fear of being cheated or abused – or even imagined difficulties that aren’t really there. Psychosomatic symptoms may manifest.
If the air element is being prevented from circulating through the whole room, apartment, house or office, by a blocked or heavy Northwest it reflects as emotional disturbances, fickleness and even addictions.
The Northwest direction must be kept light, clear and support a flow of activity and movement in order to improve our loving relationships. This is conducive for productive exchanges for healthy relationships, bringing mental peace, love and sanity.

Center of House

Vastu Purush yantra

The Centre of your building represents the solar plexus of the Vastu Purush.

A cluttered centre, or no open space in this part of house can cause anxiety and restlessness with lack of peace of mind within ourselves.
A toilet, kitchen and underground water tank in the centre of house may cause disagreements.
In times gone by, the innermost part of your space was reserved for close family members as it is the sanctity of your home.
An open and clear centre area becomes a good receptacle of energy flow from the eight directions, as well as providing easy access to all parts of the house and all parts of our being.
Ideally a skylight window placed here would brighten your whole space and lift your spirits for positive moods.
While present day architecture does not design homes with open courtyards in the centre, to allow the light directly into the house, in India you can still see many homes and all temples with this aspect.

Invite Love through Vastu

August 23, 2013 By nandini

My Spiritual Master, Gurudeva, always says, “We can survive without food for a few weeks, and without water for a few days, and without air for a few minutes, but without love and affection we cannot survive even a single moment.”

Love is an intrinsic part of our soul therefore it is natural we are always seeking it. Sadhus, saints and spiritually evolved mystics try to find it within the heart through spiritual revelations. Most of us search for it outside of ourselves within relationships.

What makes relationships successful and fulfilling?

Various cultures have their ideas about how relationships are played out and what is considered successful or acceptable. An example of this is demonstrated by an interesting encounter I had at a restaurant in the holy town of Vrindavan, India. An elderly Indian gentleman sitting with his wife on a nearby table looked over and very curiously questioned me, “Is it true that in the Western countries husbands and wives have secrets from each other?” He seemed to be horrified at the thought. They had married at a young age and I can say with full confidence, they will not be getting a divorce.

What is their secret? When two people join together as husband and wife and become a unit, a team or an entity in and of itself. The relationship then becomes one of catering to the needs of this new entity. In this way both partners can be nurtured and supported, rather than trying to behave as two autonomous individuals as you would with a separatist mentality. In a true team spirit even when there are reasons for personal antagonism or conflict, the long term commitment to the unit or entity can override the dissension, with healing, therapy and love. Similar goals, aspirations, and lifestyles can support the compatibility of the ‘unit’. Respect and honest, open communication are the foundation of a long-term healthy relationship. We see this in any truly successful organisation; people work together as a team, each member of the team supporting the whole with his or her own contribution.
