For lasting maritial bliss

FOR A SUCCESSFUl RElATIONSHIP, IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THAT EVERY ZONE  IN THE HOUSE IS BAlANCED AS PER VASTU SCIENCE, WRITES KHUSHDEEP BANSAl

Home is where your heart is. Or probably, where you intend to keep it. With home, you attach a number of desires and wishes that you want to be fulfilled in this lifetime. It is not merely a hearsay that you desire peace, happiness and a lot of love from your home. In fact, you want to be in the best of state at your home where you are cohabiting with your spouse, partner or where you intend to share cordial relationships with other members in the family.

Although people have awakened to the importance of Vastu Shastra much later than to that of astrology, yoga, tantra and ayurveda; yet it is a fruitful deviation. Today, people are using the science of Vastu to ensure that they have a blissful and happy married life. There are a set of guidelines, both proven and scientific, that ensure that couples remain married and in harmony with one another and their surroundings.

A recent marriage or years of togetherness may strain or wear out the charm over a period of time. There could be a sudden jolt or a nagging issue that can lead to deeper troubles in the future. Either or both the partners may have already used conversation, family advice and even counselling to a great extent, but the end results have been futile or unconvincing at the least. This is exactly where the remedies and science of Vastu Shastra comes into the picture.

lOVE IN MARRIAGE

Vastu Shastra is no trick or recipe to create magic out of thin air. It is a study or the science of the effects of directions of a built-up space on the lives of the occupants or co-inhabitants of that space. Today, you can co-relate this age-old jewel of authentic Indian architectural science and its relevance in solving the different mysteries of human life, desires, aspirations and wishes.

For a beautiful marriage to survive the test of time, it is imperative to make a deep analysis of your home and the balance in its five different elements or Panchtattava: Water, air, fire, earth and space, and the 16 different directions or zones of Vastu. Any extent of imbalance in the elements and their respective zones can disrupt the harmony of a dwelling and even a workplace.

Vastu offers a wide array of solutions that can be put to practice to ensure that the fine balance between the elements is restored. It is through these remedies and balancing acts (also referred as space programming by the Vastu Expert, MahaVastu) that there is synergy and symmetry in the energies and balance is established with objects and materials within a living space.

PAIR OF lOVE BIRDS

One of the highly recommended MahaVastu remedies, based on Vastu Shastra, for resolving marital discord is a pair of love birds. When placed in the South-West Zone of relationships, skills and marriage, the symbol of love helps you experience the true meaning of love. It is one of the proven Vastu techniques to strengthen love and bonding in marriage. In case there is a newlywed couple, this remedy helps in forging a loving relationship and lifelong bonding between the husband and wife.

FOR A lIFElONG UNION

• The wedding photograph is the reminder of love and companionship in your relationship. It can be hung on the wall or placed on the bedside table in the South-West zone of relationships to ensure that the understanding, care and respect remain intact in the marriage.
• Marriage photos should not be placed in SSW, WNW, and ESE zones.
• It is recommended to use lighter shades on the walls as well as drapes, curtains and bedsheets in the bedroom of a married couple.
• Kitchen or toilet in the South-West can disrupt the chords in marriage. Use a Vastu remedy such as a coloured stone under the fire source/stove in the kitchen or a similar colour remedy to block the negative effects of toilet in the South-West zone of relationships.
• North of North-West (NNW) is the zone of attraction and sex, hence it should be activated and free of any clutter. It is important to avoid adding a dustbin or waste area or dumping old articles in this zone. It is also important to avoid using red and pink colour in this zone.
• Mirror or dressing table in the South-East zone of the house may result in bad consequences such as accidents or injuries to the inhabitants. Similarly, placing them in the South-West also negatively impacts your marriage.
• Toilet should be in SSW, WNW or in ESE.

BAlANCING ElEMENTS

For a successful marriage, it is important to exercise balance in other aspects of your life as well. Monetary gains, intellectual satisfaction, joy and fulfillment, health and immunity, peace and understanding are some of the many factors that influence marriage or any other relationship. The restoration of harmony in these areas can be achieved through the balance in their respective zones of Vastu and the five major elements or the Panchtattava as discussed earlier.

For a successful relationship and to build the protective wall of trust and respect around your marriage, it is important to ensure that each and every zone (including the South-West zone of relationships that has already been balanced) is also balanced as per the Vastu science.

The use of the right colour, the appropriate metal and other materials symbolic to that zone need to be balanced using the scientific approach of Vastu.

The crux of Vastu Shastra lies in the alignment of the geometric axis of the earth with the structural axis of a property or a living space. The stronger the alignment, more favourable will be your attribute (relationships, education, skills, health etc) in that zone.
