YOGIC VAASTU REMEDIES

The South direction is also associated with the tenth house of the horoscope which is called the Karma Sthan or place of work. Deficiency in south hampers work and business as well. The bio-magnetic energy or prana gets depleted by a defective south which also affects marital relationships as the karma sthan is just four places away from the seventh house of the horoscope which is the place of marriage.

The Sudarshan Kriya has been developed by the great philosopher and Yoga Shiromani, Shri Shri Ravishankar. It is a variation and combination of several Pranayamas or breathing techniques. The pranayama is a method of acquiring prana from the atmosphere into our bodies which is responsible for all the vital functions of our body. The literal meaning of Sudarshan Kriya is action with proper vision. With the help of this method, every part of our body is supplied with fresh prana which activates our body cells.

We have invisible nadis or energy channels in our body namely ida or lunar, pingala or solar and sushumna or Brahma (central) nadi through which prana is supplied. The ida energy is soft, yin or female and mild while the pingala energy is strong and yang or male. The ida and pingala currents flow through northeast and southwest and through the left and right nostrils respectively. Sudarshan Kriya generates pingala energy which in turn can nullify defective energy from the south and southwest. Though this technique is very effective, its effects are not permanent. One has to practice the kriya regularly to reap its harvest.

ASTRO-VAASTU REMEDIES FOR MANGAL (MARS)

Mars or Mangal Graha is responsible for patience, power, anger, excitement, enemies, quarrels, land and immovable properties, younger brother, blood, etc. A debilitated Mars in the horoscope or ill effects of this planet can affect all the factors cited above. There is a direct correlation between Vaastu and planets because, different planets rule different directions. The Mangal Graha or Mars controls the south. If there are defects in the south, invariably there will be ill effects of Mangal. A defective south can also cause financial problems. By correcting the south and taking remedies for Mars, lot of problems can be overcome.

THE UNLUCKY NUMBER 3

Since the Vedic times, the number 3 is considered unlucky by the Hindus following Sanatan Dharma. Anything amounting to three is not used or offered for religious purposes. Three chapatis are not cooked or given on one plate. Similarly, three sweets are not put on a plate for puja offerings.

Three chapatis are considered food for the dead. Putting three chapatis on a plate is like offering to the dead! So, it is considered inauspicious to give three chapatis to a living person. It is believed that by offering three chapatist o a person, the life expectancy may be reduced! The love for the person decreases who offers three chapatis or sweets.

According to Vaastu Shastra, a person born under the number three should not use red stones or colour in their house.

Tulsi is great for Vaastu correction without demolition. Wherever there are any Vaastu defects, the tulsi plant should be kept there to energise and remove the negative energy. The plant must be watered regularly and should not be allowed to wither.

Lighting an oil or cow ghee lamp near the tulsi plant in the evening everyday can remove all financial difficulties.

FEW TIPS WITH TULSI

Take a bath early in the morning. Take a brass or copper pot and put a few Tulsi leaves with water. Make any wish or prayer and sprinkle the water on the main door. It will remove all the negative energy.

If you have a Tulsi plant in your house, then do not pluck its leaves on Sundays and Tuesdays. DO NOT touch the Tulsi plant with dirty hands.

TIP FOR GIRLS

Girls/ladies should not comb their hair after dark. It is believed that evil forces become active in the dark and they are very fond of open hair to get inside them. This can cause harm to womenfolk. So ladies are advised not to untie their bun at night.
