Scientific Relevance of Vaasthu
East or poorva is the direction that belongs to Sun God or Ravi. As we know that from times of Vedas and smruthies etc, the worship of Sun God holds prime importance. Sun is the source of energy – Solar energy is the force for sustaining life on Earth. The early morning rays from the East have more of light and less of heat. Meditations and Dhyanas are performed in the early hours of the day, which is very effective on health, both mental and physical.
The Sun rays are also a source of Vitamin-D, which is very essential for good heath. All over the world the worship of Sun God is prevalent. Hence pundits of Vaasthu Shasthra gave a lot of importance to derive the maximum benefits of sun rays, in planning the house. So the Main entrance door, more windows and vacant space was designed, in the East.
So also North-East, where along with pooja room, other units like verandahs, Water bodies etc, are provided, high walls and tall trees which obstruct Sun’s rays are not good. If the early morning ultraviolet rays enter into the house, it certainly does a lot of good to the health of inmates and very beneficial.
In the same way, the Infrared rays of the hot Sun are not good. So less number of windows and openings are recommended in the West and South-West to prevent radiation. Thicker Walls and higher Walls are planned in West and South only for this reason.
The Kitchen is positioned in South-East corner or Agneya for it can receive maximum Sun rays from the East and good breeze from the South. A well ventilated kitchen wards off insects and germs which are disease carriers. The person who cooks should face East is also a very important point, for one can see very clearly in broad day light. Food is essential for our well being and a healthy food for a healthy body is a must. Health of the inmates will be good and hence beneficial to the household. The water sources located in the North-East will be exposed to morning Sun rays which has the power to purify water and destroy disease causing bacteria, germs etc.
The open terrace in North-East, North or East will receive Maximum sun rays which is good for the health of the inmates. The Earth’s magnetic field wield greater influence on the health of the inmates. The Vaastu Shasthra recommends the inmates to sleep with their heads towards South direction. In that position the human body acts as a magnet and the head as North-pole. This will help blood circulation. On the other hand if the head is directed towards North, the head acting as North-Pole and the Earth’s North-pole repel each other which affects blood circulation and that results in disturbed sleep and tension.
South-west corner for storage is very good for the south-West heat or radiation would keep the store-room dry because granary is usually positioned there. The Master bed room is located in south, because good southern winds keep the room cool. Particularly in summer, cool rooms are very essential. Thus Vaasthu Shasthra gives us the principles in building a house which would ensure the owner a happy, healthy and prosperous life.
