Enhance Positivity and Prosperity during Festivals with Vastu Shastra

Festivals are one of the most vibrant and positive times of the year. From decluttering to decorations to pooja, every festive activity is aimed at bringing peace, prosperity, and merriment into the homes and lives of family members.

Cleaning, rearranging, and decorating the home as per the Vastu Shastra will enhance the divinity and holiness of the festive season . Below is a list of Vastu tips for festivals; take a look. 
 

1) Cleaning and de-cluttering the home: As per the Vastu Shastra, Goddess Lakshmi resides in a clean and well-managed home. A properly maintained home is a sign of peace and abundance in Vastu; therefore, it is a ritual to clean the homes during the festivities.

● Do house-cleaning activities in the morning and not after the sunset.

● Cleaning the floor with sea salt can purify the home from negative energies. It is because salt is a crystal that has the power to alter the aura around you and the alkaline properties of the salt absorb the heavy and humid energies from the environment.

● Get the squeaky doors and windows repaired as the creaking noise creates disturbance in the home.
 

2) Light up the home with diyas: Light up your home, especially the dark corners. The light symbolises life, prosperity, and happiness. During the festive season, keep your home illuminated.
 

● Use diyas to light up your home. Ghee diyas are considered auspicious because ghee enhances the sattvic principle. If not ghee, the second best option is mustard oil diyas.

● Use mud diyas because they are considered a reservoir of good spirits.

● Lightning up a diya activates the fire (Agni) element.

● Make rangolis. The colours represent prosperity and liveliness. Rangoli is made to enlighten and invite gods and goddesses into the home.

● Use fresh flowers as they are colourful and fragrant. Flowers represent divine energies as they come directly from nature. Flowers are symbolic of happiness, prosperity, and success.

● Vastu tip for Diwali, hang marigolds and mango leaves on the main door to attract good luck. 
 

4) Prepare scrumptious meals: Good food in Vastu Shastra is a sign of prosperity because only a home that experiences abundance serves tasty food.
 

● During festivities, prepare and serve your family members and guests with tasty meals and desserts. Desserts and sweets (mithai) will add sweetness to the relationship.

● Offer fresh fruits such as pomegranate as it symbolizes fertility, bananas represent unity, and apples are for good health. Offer fruits to the god as well.

● Try to prepare sattvic meals as sattvic food is pure, natural, and enhances spiritual vibes.

Incorporating these Vastu tips into your festive rituals will uplift the festive spirit and enhance positive vibes. May this festive season bring an abundance of joy, peace, and fortune into your lives.
