The kitchen is the busiest part of any house. The constant drone from the refrigerator, the alarm from the microwave, the sound of utensils, the noise of frying, boiling and not to forget those pleasurable moments when you relish those delicacies and the joy of eating together as one family.
It’s the kitchen that keeps the entire house in order. But have you ever wondered if your kitchen is placed in the right direction? What is the right direction for the kitchen, you may wonder? A right placement of the kitchen in the house takes care of the good health of the family; a smooth financial flow and a peace of mind; while a wrongly placed kitchen can give rise to health problems for family members; unexpected expenses and mental tensions.
The rules of Vaastu specify that a kitchen should be placed in the South-East direction. But Vaastu is also not a rigid science and gives room for lots of adaptability. If the placement of the kitchen is not in the South-East direction, the alternative is that is should be placed in the North-West direction. If you have heat in South-East or North-West of the house, it will create the balance between negative and positive energy flow.
Whereas if your kitchen is located in the South-West or the North-East corner of the house, you would be experiencing some problems. South-West is the direction in which your master bedroom should be located, and North-East is the section of the house that should be as open, and not loaded with heavy objects. Good location of the kitchen will not only bring happiness, name and fame but also good health.
It is observed that a wrongly placed kitchen creates lots of problem like continuous struggle, money gets blocked in wrong investments or money loss from unexpected area. Wrong kitchen placement also affects health of the women in the house. Further it is advisable that you should always face the East or the North while cooking. The directions of South and West should be avoided while cooking, as this could create blood-related problems or depression in the female members of the house.
Many a times, the platform of the house within the kitchen may not be placed in the proper direction, but with the advent of modular kitchens it has become easy to orient your direction. The place of worship in one’s house tends to be in the kitchen itself. The precautions that one should take while placing the god is to make sure that the mandir is kept facing the West or on the East wall of the kitchen.
If this is not possible then the reverse direction can be taken that is the god can be kept on the West wall, facing the East. In this case it is important to also conduct a puja in the evening. It is advisable to just keep one photo or idol of the gods in the mandir and not overcrowd this with many idols or photo of the same god.
There is no reason to panic if your location is not Vaastu Compliant. One can work towards adapting your location for Vaastu Compliance. Vaastu is an effect of the surroundings. Technically, it is a study of the effect of energy forces on a human body. It is the science of energy forces that is applicable to the entire universe.
Vaastu Shastra basically considers five basic forces – air, water, fire, earth and space. Keeping their effect in mind while constructing a building, helps to bring peace, happiness and prosperity in life. The main aim is balancing the surrounding energy forces with laws of nature, bringing peace of mind, prosperity and growth to individuals.
Vaastu Shastra is a ‘comprehensive building philosophy’ that pertains to the built form and its relationship with natural environment and physical , emotional and spiritual needs of the occupants.
