Colors In Vaastu

‘VIBGYOR’ Colors in Vastu 

 In Nature, we see the following colors, namely Violet, Indigo, Blue, Green, Yellow, Orange, and Red (‘VIBGYOR’), which are important tools to study Vastu subject. 

Our Planets, ‘Kundalini Chakras’, and even ‘Kirlian’ PIP photograph shows these seven colors. These seven rays are primeval formative forces of Nature. Their presence and their combination indicate tangible information. 

In Indian Vedic ‘Karma Purana’ Chapter 43, it is mentioned as follows: 

"These rays that compose his body are omnipresent and illumine the limitless worlds in the universe and among them seven are the best and highest because they form the matrices of seven planets". 

Even Bible also says the same thing that ‘the Seven Colored Rainbow is covenant between God and Earth’.

It confirms that these rays and their radiation make every tangible thing. As per Hindu beliefs, it is created by ‘Rays’ (the ‘Brahma’) maintained by ‘Rays’ (the ‘Vishnu’) and ultimately destroyed by ‘Rays’ (the ‘Maheshwara’/ Shiva’). 

We call these three qualities as OMNISCIENCE, OMNIPOTENCE and OMNIPRESENCE. This is the Ancient Indian Science. 

The visible light is also a large spectrum of energy field that includes other familiar electromagnetic energy i.e. Micro Waves, Radio Waves, Ultra- Violet Rays, Infra-Red Rays and X-Rays. The rainbow colors are related to visible light forming a part of spectrum of light with a wavelength region. They are all a higher light waves having different frequencies and wave length ranging from 400nm to 700nm.

Sun rises in the East, and sunset takes place in the West. From morning to evening, these sunrays appear to have difference in their frequency range. Very early in the morning at they appear light and to be seen as pearl color and with highest frequency as sunrises; this turns into golden color and changes to orange later because brightness of light is accompanied with heat. By noon, these rays are very hot, changing the temperature level, (a mixture of gases and 70% moisture). During this period, evaporation of water starts taking place and hence we feel discomfort. Structures and its Relation to Vastu 

We all knew that Earth is a huge magnet. In addition, the Solar energy is playing a vital role on each corner, different structures on Earth. We also see different plant leaves have different structures and they produce different types of fruits or grains (cereals). They have different taste, color and frequencies. On observing the movement of the Sunflower, one can understand what energy makes the Sunflower to rotate towards Sun's direction. Apart from it, we have Earth's magnetic field, which also plays a big role. The dense magnetic lines are extended up to 40,000 miles above the surface of the Earth. They generate from the North Pole and reach South Pole with greater velocity as shown in the figure. 

In fact, many of us may not know that our body (bones) is also magnetic in nature. Our blood containing hemoglobin, containing Iron, cuts these magnetic lines and produce sufficient electric power to our body similar to the principle of a dynamo. This electrical power reaches ‘Hypothalamus’ (motor control center of our brain or MCB) and helps the brain to function with electrical signals to all the limbs of the body resembling the way how a computer does numerous things which cannot be visualized by us. Cell phone waves were existing earlier then our knowledge. Nokia, Japan has identified these during 1980 and everyone is using them now. 

Some studies were made on colors, related to planets, ‘nava-ratnas’,’ nava-dhanyas’, ‘nava-moolikas’ (Herbs) and the human character related with diseases for understanding the provisions gifted by Nature to us for better survival. So also, houses, offices, places of worshipping bear different structures and they shall have different energy fields. Based on that structure, location, environment the fruits of prosperity also vary depending on individual frequency levels. Further, the energy relations are based on longitude and latitude linear with gravity at that place, and on environmental position like. Sea shore, lakes, mountains, rivers, drains, meat processing units, burial grounds etc. also play (natural energy) influences on the building, constructed close to them due to the ‘Aura field’. Our ancients have paid much attention on directions with respect to their structures and over all energy levels. These unseen energies have been identified during recent years, as science leaped with further advancement.     

Structural Vaastu

STRUCTURAL VAASTU 

We see that every house/residence/factory bear a shape or geometry in their construction. This deals the structural geometry and its directional frequencies relation with intensity of energy. 

Nature Follows Geometry & Forms 

Two important points are to be observed vis-à-vis the interactions of shapes or geometry with distinguished energy in that direction. 

1.     If we observe anything in the Universe, we always see some shapes. In Nature, fruits and leaves have different shapes. However, did we ever question ourselves that how they are attributed? It is a miracle of Nature. Even all the rocks and minerals also have shape and crystalline structures. Scientists call that as Crystallography. So is that all animate and inanimate objects do possess some type of structure or ‘Shape’. For any object, we could see the outer structure, but inherently they are also related to internal atomic structure. In Humans too, there is a hidden structure, we call it D.N.A. Our ancients also represented it as 3.5 times coiled snakes and the same is being used in the Medical Symbol. In inanimate object too, the atoms are geometrically connected within it representing their own shapes. Above all, there is a force between them and they are inseparable by normal means with their inter-atomic force or bondage. The secret is that ‘Outer Shape’ has a relation with the ‘Inner  Shape’. 

2.    Different shapes of leaves produce different form of flowers and fruits. When we separate few petals of flower from the bud form surgically then the result would be, the flower may blossom but it would never becomes a fruit, with a perfect form (Shape). It can be inferred that an imbalance in energy caused disharmony. Even the ‘Yantras’ (Geometrical Forms) used by Hindu and Islamic heritage, possess some balanced structures, which are used for healing. Let us conclude that the structure and shapes have some power and the ‘Yantras’ have become ‘Healing Power Houses’, which in turn have a relation with human structure. Now we learn about the shapes,which have something to do with the human biology. The normal ‘Structures’ we teach about, in schools are the same what we see in Nature, e.g. leaves, animal shapes etc. 

3.  All the other structures are related to the multiple combinations of the above forms. Obviously as per the above statements, these have some strong energy fields, which may help or disrupt human energy due to interaction in them. Mostly flowers are in the shape of circles and their leaves would be either rectangles connected with triangles or semi-circles. For sustaining life, they indicate the need of Water Energy and Sun's Energy (Heat). Nature plays this role of geometry to fulfill its requirement. The combination of 9 triangles, 9 circles, one point at top and one square at bottom makes the miraculous figure known as ‘Shree Yantra’, a geometrical figure works as ‘Power House’ emitting positive energy is a great miracle created by the Indian Saints. 

Nine Divisions Of Land

NINE DIVISIONS OF A LAND

1. North, North- East Corner, East and the center are the places in the Forward direction of the Movement (like the handle bar of a motorbike). Keeping any heavy weight in these places will obstruct the movement and create discomforts. Avoiding heavy weight in these areas, make the life peaceful and prosperous.

2. South, West and South-West Corners form the rear side of the movement. Keeping maximum weight at these places will make the travel comfortable and ‘In Harmony with the Earth/Nature’. Acquiring wealth and safe keeping them is the important factor of life. For creating the free flow of finance and saving money, keeping heavy weight in a building in these areas are important.

3. North-West and South-East Corners are the two sides(Left and Right) of the motion. We can keep lightweight in these places and balance the movement. North-West Corner denotes the social status and the South-East Corner improves the health. By keeping balanced weight in these places improves the status and wealth of family members.

Vastu Shastra

Vastu Shastra is based upon two important scientific facts:

1. Magnetic Property of the Earth and the gravitational and magnetic forces created by the materials inside the Earth.

2. Rotation of the Earth on its axis, and the centrifugal and other forces created by its movements.

1. Magnetic Property of the Earth:

Our Mother Earth was created from the minerals and dust from the lava of Sun 4.54 million years ago. Due to the large content of iron particles present in the form of solid and molten state in our Earth, it has a magnificent magnetic property. The North Pole emits the positive magnetic energy and the South Pole performs the Negative part receiving this energy. Hence, our Earth is surrounded by a magnetic field all over its mass.

If we break a small magnet into pieces, each part will get its own North and South poles and start acting as an individual magnet. Similarly, when the Earth is divided into small parts as an individual property, every division will attain a magnetic field having its own North and South Pole. As the buildings are constructed with the materials containing iron particles as well, this magnetic effect is further magnified. Vastu Shastra applies certain principles to gain from this magnetic force.

 2. Rotation of the Earth:

The main logic behind almost all the rules of Vastu Shastra depends on these principles: We are traveling along with the Earth with all our belongings towards North-East direction constantly at a speed of 1070 miles or 1670 kilometers per hour. The forward direction is North-East due to the inclination of the Earth. The division of the Earth, constructions buildings and utilization of the buildings shall not be against this motion.

For example supposing we have to carry a large and heavy box in a two-wheeler (Bike):

•  If the box is placed in the front side on the handle bar, it will reduce our speed and comfort as well restrict our vision 
• If the box is kept on either left or right side, our balance will not be easy and fall down.

The only best option is to tie the box in the backside in a carrier, so that our travel is very comfortable.

This is the theory applied in the Vastu Rules.

Our Earth is rotating inclined about 23.5 degrees towards North-East direction and rotates on its own axis without any rest since more than 4.54 billion years and also rotates the Sun without any axles, bearings or motors. The weight we keep in our place should not hinder its movement. Therefore,

• Keep heavy weight in South-West and lower weight in North-East corner.
• Balance the South-East and North-West corners with medium weight.

A good example is loading a bullock cart, which runs on only two wheels and without any ball bearings. The cart man balances the cart by distributing the weight, so that pulling it is comfortable for the bullocks. The Earth is rotating and rolling towards the North-East direction, hence keeping heavy weight at that direction would strain its moment.

Vastu Shastra divides a place mainly into nine parts aligning with the directions:  North, East, South, West, North-East Corner, South-East Corner, South-West Corner, North-West Corner and the Center.

Implementation Of Vaastu

  Vaastu Shastra says that if the structure of your house is so designed that the positive forces override the negative forces then there is a beneficial release of bio-energy, which helps you and your family members to live a happy and healthy life. A positive cosmic field prevails in a Vaastulogically constructed house, where the atmosphere is congenial for a smooth and happy life. Contrary to this, if the same structure is built in a manner that the negative forces override the positive, the overbearing negative field makes your actions, efforts and thoughts negative. Herein come the benefits of Vaastu, which guides you to have a positive atmosphere at home, office, industry or any structure.  

(1)     VAASTU FOR HOUSES: Vaastu helps convert the hidden cosmic energies into material benefits for the residents of the Vaastu charged homes. It creates a positive energy field for those living there to ensure Physical, Material and Spiritual Well being. VAASTU HELPS CONVERT A HOUSE INTO A HOME.

(2)    VASTU FOR OFFICES: Application of Vaastu is of exceedingly importance for offices where proper flow of finance is required. Vaastu helps in making the environment conducive to Growth with the help of balancing the five elements of nature namely, Water, Fire, Air, Space and Earth. Simple changes such as sitting arrangements of Staff, C.E.O, Proper placement of Safe, Use of proper color, and proper placement of water bodies (bathroom, Water Coolers etc) go a long way in enhancing the business. VAASTU HELPS THE BUSINESS RUN EFFICIENTLY AND MAKES IT CONDUCIVE TO GROWTH.  

(3)   VAASTU FOR FACTORIES: All factories require huge investments and have multi tasking activities taking place simultaneously namely, Raw material Purchasing, Manufacturing, Assembling, Packaging, Accounting, Transportation of Goods etc. and more importantly taking care of Human Resources (labor related issues) Proper Vaastu helps in co-coordinating these activities thereby generating growth for the investors.  ·        

• Factory Designed as per Vaastu help in getting in more investments and attracts more business ·         
• Vaastu explains how to get the most of your Factory by proper placement of machinery. ·         
• Also continues and proper electricity is the essential, Vaastu gives the proper placement of electrical structures. ·         
• Vaastu can be applied to Factories to improve the moral of the work force and avoid Labor problems, which has in return increased the productivity. 

4)  VAASTU FOR REAL ESTATE & BUILDERS (CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES): Construction of Buildings require huge investments and have multi tasking activities taking place simultaneously namely, Land Acquisition , Raw material Purchasing, Architecture and Planning , Accounting, Liaising with Government Department,  Selling of houses and shops  etc. and more importantly taking care of Human Resources (labor related issues) Proper Vaastu helps in co-coordinating these activities thereby generating growth for the investors.  ·         

• Buildings designed as per Vaastu help in getting more investors and therefore sell faster. ·         
• Vaastu helps you select the right plot for construction, thus avoiding problems later.
• Simple techniques like proper placement of the main gate helps in a long way to generate positive energy thus leading to the building getting sold off quickly. ·         Buildings which lay stagnant and do not sell fast, can be ‘energized’, Vaastu can be used to sell those buildings fast. ·         
• Vaastu explains how to get the most profits out of building by channelizing positive energy with the help proper construction formulae as per Vaastu. ·         V
• astu can be applied to improve the moral of the work force and avoid labor problems, which has in return increased the productivity. 

COST OF IMPLEMENTING VAASTU IS NEGLIGIBLE, COMPARED TO THE EXTREMELY HIGH RETURNS OR BENEFITS YOU DERIVE FROM IT. Vaastu Shastra suggests ways in which we can live in tune with the Laws of Nature, so that we can be healthy, peaceful and work efficiently that result in prosperity. 

Vastu And Its Principles

The whole Universe is a composition of five basic elements: Fire, Air, Space, Earth and Water. Through these, our body receives Internal Energies in the form of Proteins, Carbohydrates, Fats etc. and External Energies in the form of Heat, Light, Sound, Wind and so on. The basic principles of Vastu enables us to achieve balance among these; giving more flexibility of body & mind for a better life. When the harmony between these elements gets disturbed, our energies get dissipated in different directions leading to stress, tension and ill health and our peace of mind is destroyed. We then have to redirect our Energies subjectively as well objectively, so as to achieve an equilibrium between Internal / External Energies, to attain a healthy body and a happy mind leading to health, wealth, happiness, prosperity and success . The water from the Earth evaporates into the atmosphere (Space) due to the heat in our Solar System (Sun). These droplets of water accumulate to form clouds. The Air, which moves the clouds, makes them release the excess water, which comes back to the Earth in the form of Rain. Thus the Cycle, as well as the equilibrium of the elements, is maintained on our planet. To experience the above Cycle you need a mind and to have a mind you need life. Therefore, the five elements + Mind + Life become the cause of our existence. When the Life force comes out of this cycle, it merges with the Cosmic Force. You are then no longer a part of the Cycle you become the Cause. This merger of the Life force with the Cosmic Force is affected by detachment/meditation. The above Energy Cycle is radiation energies corresponding to an element such as:

FORM OF ENERGY                                                           ELEMENT 

SOLAR                                                                                  FIRE 

WIND                                                                                     AIR 

RAIN                                                                                      WATER 

GRAVITATIONAL / MAGNETIC                                         EARTH 

SOUND                                                                                 SPACE   

This is this placement of universal elements in relation to the four principal directions. For better results, the Cosmic Position of the Elements should supplement any activity in your residence or office. 

According to Vastu Shastra, if the house is designed as per the ‘Vastu Purusha Mandala’, a perfectly balanced environment that ensures enhanced health, wealth and happiness. This is actually based on scientific principles wherein, the Sun, the five basic elements (‘Panchbhootas’), the Earth’s magnetic field, Earth’s energy fields, and the eight directions are manipulated to create an atmosphere beneficial to man. The Vastu pundits figured out that, when the different rooms were placed according to the ‘Vastu Mandala’ created by them, good disposition to the Sun, proper ventilation and lighting and privacy would be ensured in the building. Vastu is basically aimed at harnessing the higher energy levels within the self and can help in various aspects of life such as: 

         

• Increasing earning potential ·         
• Helping in rising higher in career ·         
• Success in studies ·         
• Enhancing marital bliss ·         
• Ensuring good health ·         
• Freedom from tensions and anxieties 

A proper house to live in is the prime necessity for every living being. Its importance has been explained in the Indian civilization thousand years ago. According to it before constructing our House Hotel, Factory, Office, Clinic, Hospital, Restaurant, Motels etc. we should know (go through) the five elements and do the construction accordingly so that one gets PEACE, PROSPERITY & HAPPINESS.   Our body is also made of these five elements ('Panchbhootas') and therefore in this whole process Vastu-Shastra has been very much advantageous. In Vastu Shastra, eight directions: North, East, West, South, North-East, South-East, South-West and North-West are considered as important.

SPACE (‘Akasha’):  ‘Akasha’ is the sky or space that provides shelter to all the remaining elements. ‘Akasha’ is also important because it is considered to be the primary conductor of all forms of energies, be they physical energy such as sound or light; or cognitive energy forms such as intellect and intuition; and even social energy forms such as emotional energy and psychological energy. 

AIR (‘Vayu’) – Air or ‘Vayu’ is what gives support to all life on Earth. Without oxygen, no living creature would survive on our planet. ‘Vayu’ is measured in many ways by humidity, airflow, temperature, pressure, composition, etc.  

EARTH (‘Bhumi’) – The Earth or ‘Bhumi’ is the land that rests both above and below the sea. Self-sustaining and all-powerful, it shapes the very continents and land mass that humanity lives on.  

WATER (‘Jala’) – Water or ‘Jala’ is the core of almost all living beings on Earth. Our bodies are constituted of a large degree of water and our blood could not be generated without ‘Jala’. Even the Earth itself is almost 70% water. This shows that water is one of the crucial elements that help in supporting life on Earth.  

FIRE (‘Agni’) – Fire represents light and heat which account for day, night, the seasons, energy, enthusiasm, passion and vigor. Without this energy, there would be no rotation and revolution around the sun. Fire is represented on Earth by the molten core of the planet. The essential premise of Vastu Shastra is that there is always an invisible and constant inter-relation between all five elements. Therefore, any effort by man to build on Earth must take into account all five elements and plan accordingly. A building that is made according to the rules of Vastu Shastra will give the inhabitants health, happiness, wealth and prosperity. A building that is made not in accordance to the rules of Vastu may incidentally incorporate one of the elements, but not the others. This leads to discord and disharmonious living conditions, resulting in loss of wealth, health, happiness and prosperity. Only with proper knowledge and implementation of Vastu Shastra can an abode help the inhabitants to realize their true potential.
