Marriage, an institution that commands lifelong commitment and responsibility. Companionship and care towards each other need the perfect vastu settings to strengthen the bond. KHUSHDEEP BANSAl instructs how
All of us believe in the sacred institution of marriage but sometimes, neglecting little things like the location of your bedroom, toilet or even dressing table can make your relationship bitter. According to Maha Vastu, the north-northwest (NNW) Vastu zone serves as an ideal location for the bedroom of a newly wedded couple. If you do not have your bedroom in the NNW direction, you need not worry. Maha Vastu also offers a lot of alternatives and solutions with which you can get the same effects. For example, in the eastern direction, white colour on bed-sheets, curtains and wall paints should be avoided. Similarly, red and pink colours should be avoided if your bedroom is located in the north.
Bedroom for a newlywed couple, by all means, must be avoided in the east-southeast (ESE), south-southwest (SSW) and west-northwest (WNW) vastu zones as it will become a cause for poor health and relationship. A bedroom in the ESE corner of the house, leads to excessive thinking and suspicious nature and becomes the root cause for frequent quarrels and disagreements between the couple. Similarly, bedroom in SSW and WNW have their own negative effects on the newly-wed couple’s life.
The second most important factor is the location of the toilet. Toilet in wrong location disposes of the relationship altogether. The very function of a toilet is to manage the disposals from our body; if it is located in south-west, in the zone of relationships, then relationships will get disposed of. At times, it leads to extra marital affairs also. So, you must avoid a toilet in the south-west (SW) corner of your house to safeguard your marriage.
It must also be made clear that the position of a dressing table reflecting the bed does not create any negative effect by itself. In fact, it is the location of the mirror in an incompatible Maha Vastu zone that causes the problems. Mirror as an object represents the water element. It also serves as a medium for extension of space.
If you place a mirror in the south-east (SE) direction, it is like having water in the zone of fire. As water puts out fire, it will cause accidents and injuries to the inhabitants. A dressing table in SSW Zone, gives extension to the zone of disposal. So, it creates increased wastage (of resources) and leads to loss of fertility for the occupants of these bedrooms. For relationship problems in the bedroom, the responsible zone is the SW zone of the home. A mirror in this zone then due to its extension effect, it leads to over-expectations in relationships.
latest research indicates that location of five elements — water, air, fire, earth and space alter love and relationships. For example, water in the form of water bodies and blue colour governs emotions. When present in the north direction, it will be balanced. In the south, it will cause fear, aggression and lack of passion and warmth between the couple.
Another important factor affecting your relationship is your marriage photographs, album and gifts. When you place them in the south-west, the Maha Vastu zone of love and relationships, your home starts attracting love, companionship, understanding and harmony in your marital life. Take due care lest these should be kept in SSW, WNW or ESE part of your house, else they will affect your marital life and relationships negatively.
Documented research has also brought up an amazing fact that at times, post-marriage problems for girls arise on account of their parents’ house. The root cause for such findings was a widely spread vastu-myth that marriageable girls should sleep in north-west (NW) only. Many people, having half-baked knowledge of vastu, think that placing goods in the NW direction will make them move faster which is wrong. Even more foolish is thinking that making marriageable girls sleep in this direction will help them in getting married soon.
As per Maha Vastu, a marriageable girl should sleep in the south which will keep her cool, calm and relaxed. Sleeping in SSE will make her more self confident and healthy. A bedroom of a girl in the SW Zone will make her more skilled in her work, and also in managing relations with her spouse and his family. In the WSW, she will gain more knowledge and excel in education. The qualities of these Maha Vastu zones will help her to find a suitable match.
Marriageable girls should avoid sleeping in the NW Zone, because this could also affect their reproductive capacity.
