Pranic, Jaivic & Solar Energy

Cosmic Energy (Pranic Energy)

As we know our earth is tilted 23.5 degrees towards the Northeast direction and it is moving from West to East direction. For an example, when we run we feel the air is coming against our direction. We feel the air. Same goes to the movement of earth towards the northeast direction as the Cosmic energy; to some they call it (Pranic energy) comes in from the Northeast direction.

This is why a lot of focus is paid towards the northeast direction. If this zone is blocked then the breadwinner will face many difficulties in life. No obstruction should be along the northeast zone; like bathroom, toilet, storeroom, staircase, master bedroom or even kitchen should be placed there. Only praying room is allowed there.

This area must be kept clean and tidy and preferably light weight or no weight at all. Keep windows open here in the morning the beneficial morning sun. Use this place for meditation and prayers. Face North or East always when praying. And keep a bowl of water (filtered water) and place it at the corner of the Northeast zone.

Northeast zone represents the water element in Vastu. Respect this zone as if its the heart of the house. This room can be used if you are not well and wish to get well fast and to recharge yourself when your are stressed out.

Why is it there are some cases of houses being robbed by thieves, some don't. Certain people get robbed or snatched? Some dogs attack people easily? Some dogs don't and keep their distance? This is due to the energy level of people and their homes. When a persons energy level or Prana energy level is low, dogs can sense it and they will attack. If a house energy level is low, thieves will sense it and notice it. How can they sense it? It comes down to their intuition and instinct and they feeling towards it. That is why some house when we go we can sense a good vibe and some we don't.

How do we know if a persons' energy level is high/low?
When you observe them talking negatively about people and themselves, gossiping and always complaining matters. They are never happy about themselves and the environment. They seldom go temple. This people has very low energy level; so they will continue to attract negative things in their lives.

How do we measure a house energy level is high/low?
First observe the Northeast direction of the house. if there is obstruction, then the house has low Prana energy. Next observe the Southwest zone, It there is no obstruction with openings, then the Prana energy has exited from this zone. Southwest zone should always be closed, heavy and less openings. Then the Energy can be stored.

As a conclusion. Leave Northeast zone free and open and keep Southwest zone closed and heavy and observe the results.


Roles of energies in Vastu Shastra:


Magnetic field (Jaivic energy)

Magnetic field of earth flows from North to South. We as humans can only observe this energy when we sleep. If we get bad dreams, cant sleep at night, or sleeping in excess then we are sleeping with our heads towards north.

Our body is receptive to the North-South Magnetic flow is due to the Iron in our blood. Our head reacts as the North pole and Legs as South pole.

When we sleep with our heads towards North, our head and the north poles repels to against each other, and we get disturbed sleep. Sometimes we even get migraine and headaches sleeping towards this direction.

The best direction to sleep is towards South. When North and South pole is against each other, it attracts and we get sound and blissful sleep. We don't really have to sleep directly towards South, it can be Southeast or Southwest too. But never Northeast or Northwest.

Solar Energy

The source of solar energy is only from the Sun. Its the source of Vitamin D as well.
The morning sun is very beneficial to our human bodies. It is best exposed during morning sunrise from 630 to 730.

Some pray towards the morning sun God and Chant the sacred Gayathri Mantra facing East, which is very very beneficial for us.

Expose yourself towards the morning sun as much as possible. Take a bath in the morning exposing to the beneficial morning sun with better absorption of Vitamin D.

The best location for kitchen is in the Southeast zone which is the fire zone. Cook facing East. The best time to cook is from 9am to 12pm. The sun will be at the Southeast zone to benefit the Positive UV rays from the Sun. After 12pm till sunset,the immense heat of the sun which is not beneficial to us at all should be avoided. After 12pm the position of the sun will be at South then Southwest then sets at West.

This is the reason why our walls at home should be thicker along the Southern and Western zone. Is is to prevent the harmful UV rays of the sun into our living premises.

As we can see, Vastu Shastra is not a belief or a superstition. Its pure science of the cosmos. Nothing to be believed or worshiped. Every principles and techniques has its scientific explanation behind it; and it can be observed regardless of religion or beliefs.

Vastu Shastra Vs Feng Shui

Feng Shui is currently very popular around the world. It is very well commercialized and people really pay a huge amount of money to consult Feng Shui when they build a house or building. They are willing to even sponsor Feng Shui Masters air-ticket and accommodation and that is excluding his consultation fees.

However Vastu is a closely guarded secret which very rare and not so popular as Feng Shui. Only Temple priest and a small niche of architects have these knowledge. However in India, Vastu is very popular due to its origin and it is spreading around the globe.

Which to choose?? Feng Shui or Vastu?? Read on and decide...

Let me explain the differences:

Feng Shui has 5 elements which are Earth, Metal, Wood, Fire and Water. Each represents a particular directions. They pay more attention towards South. In Feng Shui, South facing Plots are considered auspicious.

However in Vastu, We have 5 elements too. termed as Water, Fire, Earth, Wind and Space. Which are what we called as (Panchaboothas) These are the only elements exist on earth. Without anyone of it, life cannot exist.

In feng Shui, there is Metal and wood which is also the Earth element. That is the controversy.

On top of that, it has its own universal Cosmo grid called Ba Gua. An Octagonal shape. They plan houses using this. Since its south Facing. South direction is categorized as Red Phoenix, North is Black Tortuise, West is white tiger and East is Green Dragon. They emphasize having Hills along the North region of a place is very auspicious and South opening is very auspicious.

In Vastu, we use the Vastu Purusha Mandala Grid for construction. As you read on upcoming articles, I will explain how do we attain this grid and it is similar to the Ba Gua in Feng Shui.

Next, they use the concept of Chi energy flow in a home to make the place more vibrant. They too uses the concept of Yin and Yang energy.

In Vastu it is termed as Prana Energy attained from the 22.5 degree tilt of the earth. So cosmic energy comes from Northeast. That is why we pay attention to Northeast and have more openings there.

Upon consulting Feng Shui, the master normal takes the persons date of birth, horoscope and does astrological calculations and results to that persons "kua number" or magic number. Upon that he decides which direction is Auspicious for him.

In Vastu, we called it Jyotisha (astrology) and Numerlogy. Upon deciding direction, we use the complex Ayadi Calculation.

The core difference between these 2 sciences is the "Area" which they apply it. Feng Shui is a need in China. Why? They pay much attention towards South due to the warm air coming from South and Southeast. They suggest high hills and mountains along Northern region as a prevention of the freezing air coming form Northern zone. This is true and they must apply it and they will experience positive results. That is why is its popular in the states on many freezing regions.

However in Vastu, it is universally applicable regardless of where you live under any conditions. Cosmic energy comes from Northeast (More open space) and it should be stored in Southwest (Less space and windows). Magnetic energy North-South. Sleep towards South for good sleep regardless of what is your "kua number" In vastu, a persons direction has an important role only when he is building a new house. The house facing direction. Thats all. An average person like you and me, to attain the pranic energy, Just face East or North to attain it for anything you do and you can observe the differences. Solar energy from the Sun from East to West. Cook facing East to attain the Vitamin D of Morning sun.

Many Feng Shui Masters uses gadgets, statues, fountains, crystals and they markup a significantly high price to their customers. On top, they name it as Feng Shui Item. In reality there is no such thing as Feng Shui Item. Feng Shui is a science and it deals with science of tapping the universal force in enhancing the well fare of human beings.

Crystal, Gemstones is another science by itself. It has enhancing values on human beings. That is true. But it is not a Feng Shui item.

Take an example of the Laughing Buddha for wealth. Buddha in reality was never that huge. However, in Indian Terminology, we have a Deity call Kuberan. He has a huge figure. He, in fact is what we call it "Laughing Buddha". He governs the North sector, planet is Mercury (Buddha). Basically it is copied and commercialized.

My opinion are these Feng Shui gadgets only act as a psychological effect when explained to customers. When a Feng Shui master says that by putting this gadget here that can enhance health. His "words" conditions us psychologically and in return when we attain it. So we thank him and that gadget, forgetting that we ourselves conditioned the conscious mind and paid focus on it to attain it.

In reality, Feng Shui is Similar to Vastu. However, Vastu has been around long time way before Feng Shui was introduced. The founder of Feng Shui is the great Lord Buddha. Thats a fact. However, in Hinduism, Buddha was a prince in India by the name of Siddartha Gautama. He was in fact a re-incarnation of Lord Vishnu. As an incarnation, He knew very well of all The Vedas (Complete knowledge) However, he denied certain rules in Hindusim that involves Killing as a mean of sacrifice. That is the reason people in India has less influence on Buddhism but had a very good response in China. As a monk, he traveled to China with his fellow monks and they picked up these Vedic Knowledge. They incorporated Taoism and other cultures Feng Shui is being born.

To conclude, upon measuring both sciences, Vastu Shastra is the origin of Feng Shui. Vastu Shastra can be applied regardless of religion and beliefs. Its a science of cosmos. If you are a member of this planet earth sheltered under 4 walls. Vastu has already been applied in your place. When negative effects occurs in your life, check your home, rectify it and get relieved. Then you will lead a comfortable life. Any activities you wish to pursue will be much easier with less struggle.

Take an example, why you don't mind spending RM15 for a cup of coffee in Star Bucks where u can spend only Rm0.90 in a coffee shop? We pay cause of the atmosphere and the ambiance we get. thats why.

Why not have a nice atmosphere within the 4 walls of your house for the rest of your life??

Vastu for Kitchen

Kitchen plays a very important role in Vastu. It represents the fire element in Vastu. Fire element is represented at the Southeast corner of the house.

Why Southeast is associated as the fire element? It is due to movement of the Sun from East to West. it is very auspicious to prepare your meals from 6am to 9am in the morning as the corner receives more light and less heat from the sun.

In the morning from 3am to 6am where it is called Brahma-Muhurtam. The sun will be located at the Northeast zone, that is why it is associated with Water element to represent calmness. It is best to do meditation and prayers at this time keep a bowl of water at the Northeast corner.

If you notice only one part of your house will be very hot, despite fan or air-cond installed. frequent quarrel and tensed, hot tempered. then that is the fire corner of the house.

Vastu is not a superstition to be believed. Its a science of cosmos and it can only be experienced.
It deals with various forces that cannot be seen but felt. For example, the tilt of earth towards Northeast at 22.5 degrees which makes Northeast part of the plot extremely auspicious for cosmic energy moving in from that direction. It deals with solar energy and how to tap the solar energy into our well being. Next is the Geopathic stress, movements of planets, wind movements, magnetic energy for us to have blissful sleep and much more.

Coming back to the kitchen at the Southeast zone just follow this principle to created a beautiful atmosphere in your kitchen.
1. Sink at North, Northeast zone.
2. Stove and electrical items along Southeast zone. Cook facing east.
3. Storage along West and South walls.
4. Fridge along Northwest zone.
5. Room color: Orange. pink, white (based planetary directions (Venus, Shukra) and cardinal directions)

This is how an ideal Southeast kitchen should be:


If kitchen on Southeast is not possible, then locating it at the Northwest is good which is the Wind corner.

Why Northwest is chosen as the alternative corner for kitchen? Because Wind supports fire. Earth and Water destroys fire.

Take note that Cooking must always face East. Other directions are not favorable. Possible consequences are cook for the sake of cooking, cooked but no one feels like eating, controversies, no mood in cooking.

The is an example of kitchen locating at Northwest zone:

Noted that kitchen color is based on planetary directions. In this case Northwest is associated with the Moon (Chandra). So its best to have it white, green or blue. Green is due to Planet mercury(Buddha) along North zone and blue for Saturn (Sani) on the west zone. White color is associated to Moon.

Upon deciding color of rooms is also another complicating task. Relationship between planets have to be considered. That is Astrology all together.
