Invite Love through Vastu

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.

The flow of energy within a relationship

Whatever our culture or upbringing, the science of universal energy flow affects us all. Educatum-in Latin; real education means to bring out what is already within us. We have a choice to either re-act or pro-act in any given situation. The outcome of our decisions and behaviour can bring a win-win solution or tear us apart. 

The duality of relationships in this world do bring pain along with all the love and joy they give. Through this they serve to reveal and hopefully heal our unresolved issues on emotional, psychological and spiritual levels. Harmonising and balancing our space by aligning it with the cosmic energy flow can provide support and nourishment for healthy and happy relationships.

Introduce Vastu to your relationship

We have discussed how the Vastu Purush is a powerful and conscious being. He supports our karmic play-out by reflecting our unresolved issues for us to address. Installing Vastu yantras within our living and working space marks the beginning of our transformation. These yantras not only serve as catalysts to fulfill our desire for love and peace, but act as tools to release our internal blocks and unlock our hidden potentials.

The two key dynamic energy points on the Vastu Purush’s body which have shown to affect the quality of our interactions within relationships are on the Northwest and Southeast axis. These two prominent directions provide our environment the positive energies we need to ensure peace and love within ourselves and our relationships. Of the two directions, the Northwest area, influenced by the Moon, is indicative of our emotional and mental state. These factors are sensitive and foremost concerns, when desiring stability for successful interactions. See How your space supports your relationships?

Compatibility and Vedic Astrology

The Moon star constellation (nakshatra) in your birthchart is the primary consideration when compatibility charts (sexual, general and spiritual) are drawn between a couple, whether for marriage, intimate relationships or other partnerships. Unfortunately this Vedic science is not consulted enough and as a result when the initial attraction between people dwindles, then so does the relationship because important underlying key points are overlooked.
