RUDRABHISHEK & VASTU

         As already written in my previous post , the every plot is divided into nine equal parts. Every part is ruled by a deity and planet, The North East also known as ISHAN KON is zone of maximum positive energy and gives overall prosperity. This is also ruled by lord SHIVA and planet Jupiter . This is a water zone. Though this zone provides prosperity to the inmates of the house it gives bad effects, if afflicted.

The various afflictions to this zone are cuts, toilet and kitchen. In addition to this heavy weight in this zone, construction of stair case, over head water tanks can give various problems to the residents. The Jupiter which is a natural benefice is also a karka of cancer ,obesity ,bronchitis, kapah, respiratory system related problems. 

The defects in VASTU are attended by worshiping the deities, donations and doing VASTU remedies through appliances recommended by VASTU Experts.

Rudrabhishek is one of the best solutions to ward off the negativity caused by the VASTU faults, The Rudrabhishek is being done to placate the nine planets.The lord RAM, before starting a war against Ravna performed  the Rudrabhishek after due installation of shivlinga at Rameshwaram.

In Rudrabhishek Abishek of Lord SHIVA is done with Milk, Curd , Gangajal , Honey, Ghee, Bhang,Dhatura, Billpatra, Bill , Flowers, Fruits, Sugarcane Juice. As per history during Sagar Manthan Lord SHIVA took the poison and gave amrit to devas. To reduce the affect of poison in the body of Lord SHIVA people use to offer Milk mixed with water to the Shivling. Similarly Lord SHIVA after the Abhishek reduces the ill effects of chronic diseases to the inmates and offer blessings to the children which are governed by Jupiter. The Abhishek should preferably be done in the BRAMSTHAN (Center of House) or  ISHAN KON which is water zone. The frequency of Abhishek may depend on the magnitude of agony  to the inmates.  Though abhishek can be done on any day , it is more auspious on Monday and abhishek done in the month of shravan has definitely has added advantage. It is also necessary to worship VASTU Devta during the abhishek. Before worshiping lord SHIVA Pujan of Lord GANESH is  done which is vighan harta and giver of prosperity, Thus performing this Abhishek ill effects given by nine planets due to vastu dosh are reduced and prosperity to the inmates is insured.  

ANCESTOR'S PHOTOGRAPH AND VASTU

  During my lecture at DAV Model School Sector 15 Chandigarh under the aegis of INDIAN COUNCIL OF ASTROLOGICAL SCIENCES Chandigarh chapter some of the aspirants had some doubts regarding placing of ancestors photograph. I am posting my views. First of all I would like to bring to the notice, views of some eminent vaastu experts.

Dr. Bhoj Raj Dwivedi, in his book, Vaastu Inquisitiveness And Solutions, at page 141  has written  that photos of  dead ancestors should always be hung in the corner of south west or in the western corner. He has also recommended that do not keep a dead ancestors photo or picture in the worship room, as it will be placed along with idol of a deity, hence avoid the said situation. No doubt, our ancestors deserve our respect and faith, but they can neither be equated with nor substituted for our deities.

Ms. Suman Pandit, in her book, Vastu for Homes, at page no. 115, has written, Avoid having pictures of dead departed ancestors in the Pooja room along with pictures of deities.

Shri Promod Kumar Sinha, in his book, Saral Grih Vaastu, at page no. 123, has recommended that south west is the best place for ancestors photograph. He has also suggested that dead ancestors photograph should not be placed in the pooja room. He agrees that our ancestors deserve respect and faith but they cannot take the place of our deity. He is also of a view that after death the man diminishes in five elements but god is ajar amar (everlasting).

Pandit Rajesh Anand, in his book, Bina Tod Fod Vastu Dosh Nivaran, at page no. 44, has suggested that owner of the house should place the photograph of his ancestors in the south west direction.

As explained in my previous posts we get solar energy from the east and magnetic energy from the north and overall energy from the north east which signifies overall prosperity. I will feel pertinent to mention here that the photographs placed in respective zone acquires that type of energy.

The departed ancestors do not require any energy. That is why their photographs should be placed in south or west direction. It is also recommended that photographs of ancestors should not be placed in the pooja room. Even photograph of the living guru should not be placed in the pooja room. Since god is Nirakar and he cannot be equated with destructive world. Kindly give your comments for the progress of the subject.

EXTENSIONS IN A HOUSE AND VASTU

In my previous post i have discussed the utility and flow of energy in a plot / house . Square and rectangular plots are considered good for strong energy  waves if the length and breadth ratio is more than 2:1 weak field is created length and breadth is to be maintained by construction of wall in a plot. Extensions in different directions give different results as  under :

Extension in the North East corner is considered very good since North East corner is goverened by planet Jupiter which is a KARKA for wisdom, expansion.Jupiter also reprsents financial position and progeny, this zone is considered for overall prosperity of a man .Jupiter is a natural benefic and gives overall prosperity . If the plot is extended towards North side we get financial growth and if extension is towards east side we get name and fame and if extension is on the both sides we get overall prosperity.It is seen that extension in the North East corner is very good for all purposes.

Extension in the North West side , this side is a vayaya kone and is being represented by planet MOON , in this zone extension gives bad results whether in the North side or West side. Moon also represents finances and in case of extensions unnecessary travelling and wasteage of money may effect the resisdents, in addition to this Vata (Vayu) related dieases may infulence the resisdents like high blood presure, indigestion, urinary problems.Extension in this zone should be avoided to protect the resisdents from negative results. The extension in this zone becomes more dangerous , if it is affected by Veedhi Shoola between North West and North.

Extension in the South West , this zone is represented by RAHU which is Natural Malefic , extension in this zone whether towards South or West or In auspicious and should be avoided this zone is considered for stability of the house and if extended may give malefic results like undiagnosed dieasese, uncureable dieases, mental tensions, financial losses.Balconies, veranda , if provided in this zone is totally inauspious and effect the health of head of the family and childern.

Extension in the South East  , this is agni kone and extension whether towards South or East is inauspious ,this zone is represented by  VENUS which represents ladies of the house  and in case of extension ladies and childern get bad results , extension in this zone may give fire accidents and litigations, extension in this zone should be avoided for the well being of the resisdent.   

REMEDIES :

If the house is extended towards any zone whose extension is not recommended as per VASTU principle should be disconnected by constructing wall , pyramids or any other method adopted in VASTU.
