VASTU PURUSH MANDAL

In the classics of Vastu, it is assumed that in all the plots and buildings vaastu purush; a devilish looking being lies face down. Forty five gods and goddesses are sitting on the body of this vaastu purush making it impossible to get up. This vaastu purush has raised his head to breathe. The supreme god himself is present in the Northeast to bless this vaastu purush. These forty-five gods represent various forces of nature; both benefic and malefic. The construction activities are recommended accordingly.

All these gods and energies are symbolic. The Supreme God on the Northeast means the positive forces entering the Vaastu through this direction. This will be kept open to the maximum extent. Nirriti; the goddess of devils; indicates the negative influence at the Southwest corner. This sector, inhabited by devils; shows the necessity to close this area completely. East is ruled by sun representing knowledge. Lord of East signifies the importance of an open east to achieve knowledge – academic as well as spiritual. Southeast is ruled by Agni, the fire energy which helps in digestion of food and keeps us alive with the aid of air or prana vayu of Northwest. Lord of death-Yama at south- shows that too much open areas in south will invite death and destruction.

Similarly, rain god in the west points to cover this area from torrential rains. North is the direction with energies of wealth which signifies importance of more open areas in the north for prosperity. North and East should be at lower levels so that prosperity and knowledge can be accumulated to the maximum extent. Likewise, other gods and goddesses sitting on the body of vaastu purush represent other energy forms.
