Everyone
dreams of owning a home. To make this dream a reality, we should first
consult an experienced architect and plan the house. We should then
approach a good Vasthusasthram
consultant and adopt necessary changes in the plan of the prospective
site.
Some points to be kept in mind while
planning your home
::
There are
eight directions - East, West, North, South, Northeast, Northwest,
Southeast and southwest.
::
There are
specific positions for Everything including jewelry and money.
::
While
sleeping, the head should be placed towards the South for good
health or the East to be blessed by God.
Never place your head towards the North.
::
Kitchens,
bedrooms, dining rooms, prayer rooms, store rooms etc. have
specific positions.
::
All
plants have medicinal value if used correctly. In the garden,
plants like the holy Basil (tulsi), Neem, the Bael (vilwa) etc
have to be placed as per Vasthusasthra.
Bed Rooms
Everyone
sleeps for an average of 8 hours per a day. i.e. 1/3 of a day. This
would mean that we spend roughly 240 hours of a month sleeping ,that
is 10 days. In a year, we would sleep for 120 days or 4 months and
that would amount to 20 years of sleep in 60 years! Hence the bedroom
is the most important room in a house.
Kitchen
We start our
day going to the kitchen early morning to fix breakfast. The kitchen
should face the east so that the sun's first rays enter it . The
powerful sunrise during Utharayanam can only be effective if the
kitchen faces the southeast with a window to the east.
