VASTU PURUSH MANDALA AND 45 DEVATAS WITH SPECIFIC POWERS

The division of the built-up space represents different energy fields. We call this process – the PadaVinyasa (modular grid).  In total there are 45 energy fields that constitute the Vastu Purusha Mandala. They are as follows:

The Central Energy Field: Brahma, the Creator – Brahma Vithi

Lord Brahma occupies the central portion – the Brahmasthan. This portion is Brahma Vithi. It is the most sacred part of the building. It contains within it all the possibilities of creation and existence.

 

First the Shilanyas (foundation stone laying ceremony) is done, and the construction of the foundation walls begins by digging the earth. When they reach the plinth level, the divine energy field called Brahma starts to originate right in the center of the plot.

This field of Brahma – the absolute is responsible for the evolution of everything in the universe. This is why the universe is also termed as Brahmaand (the golden egg of Brahma).

 

The 4 Energy Fields next to Brahma – The Deva Vithi

  • Bhudhar (the power of manifestation)
  • Aryama (the power of connection)
  • Vivaswaan (the power of revolution or change)
  • Mitra (the power of inspiration and action)

 

As the construction of the building progresses and the raising of the walls is done to a height of about 5-8 feet, the energy field of Brahma starts to expand in 4 directions.

Out of the 12 Adityas mentioned in the Bhagavata Puran, the above 4 occupy the 4 sides of Brahma.

 

We all know that Lord Brahma has 4 heads. Thus these 4 devtas are symbolic of the 4 heads of Brahma. They are responsible for carrying forward the process of creation initiated by Brahma.

The 8 Energy Fields in the diagonal directions – The Manushya Vithi

After the raising of the walls (but the casting of the roof remains), the energy fields start to spread in the four diagonal directions viz. Northeast, Southeast, Southwest and North West.

This flow of energy is akin to a tortoise spreading its legs and extending them out of its body.

In each of these directions, two energy fields start to take shape and form. If we draw a line dividing the Northeast to Southwest and from North West to South East, one energy field develops on either side of this dividing line.

 

The names of these energies are as follows:

NORTHEAST

  1. Apaha (generates the energies responsible for healing)
  2. Apahavatsa (carriers the healing powers to the occupants)

SOUTHEAST

  1. Savita (energies that help to initiate any process or action)
  2. Savitur (energies that give capabilities to continue those actions and overcome all challenges)

SOUTHWEST

  1. Indra (energies that establish stability and enhance growth)
  2. Indrajaya (the tools and the channels through which one can achieve growth)

NORTHWEST

  1. Rudra (energies responsible for supporting and ensuring flow of activities and life)
  2. Rajyakshma (energies which uphold the support and stabilize the mind)

The 32 energy fields of the outer periphery – Paishacha Vithi

A total of 32 energy fields develops in a concentric pattern in the outer periphery of the Vastu Purusha Mandala.

 

Once the roof is cast in the building, four energy fields start to develop in each of the diagonal directions. Thus, a total of 16 fields develop in the diagonal directions which are as follows:

NORTHEAST

  1. Aditi (the mother of the devtas, this energy field provides security and helps one connect with himself/herself)
  2. Diti (the mother of the asuras, this energy field gives the powers of a wider vision and to see the actual truth of life)
  3. Shikhi (symbolic of a pointed flame. This field gives the power of ideas and the ability to project one’s thoughts to the world)
  4. Parjanya (the giver of rain, this field has the powers to bless the occupants with fertility and frustration of all their wishes)

 SOUTHEAST

  1. Brisha (the power of friction needed to initiate any action, thinking or activity)
  2. Akash (the energy that provides the space for manifestation)
  3. Anila (the energy of air or vayu, it helps to uplift the fire or push further the actions initiated)
  4. Pusha (the energy of nourishment, it blocks the path of enemies)

 

SOUTHWEST

  1. Bhringraj (the energy which extracts nutrients from the food and removes the waste)
  2. Mrigah (the energy that drives curiosity and imparts skills)
  3. Pitra (the ancestors provide all means of safety and happiness required for existence)
  4. Dauwarik (the safekeeper, represents lord Nandi, the trusted vehicle of lord Shiva. The energy of being genius and highly knowledgeable)

NORTHWEST

  1. Shosha (the power of detoxification from negative emotions)
  2. Papyakshama (the energy which gives addiction, diseases and the feeling of guilt)
  3. Roga (the energy which provides support in the hour of need)
  4. Naga (the energy which gives emotional enjoyment and cravings)

Once the super-structure, i.e. the civil work, is done but the installation of services like plumbing, electrical connections etc. has not begun , 16 more energy fields start to develop in the four cardinal directions. These are as follows:

EAST 

  1. Jayant (the energy which gives the sense of being victorious, it refreshes the mind and body)
  2. Mahendra (the power of administration and connectivity)
  3. Surya (the core controller, this energy fields impart health, fame and farsightedness)
  4. Satya (the energy which establishes goodwill, status, authenticity and credibility)

SOUTH

  1. Vitatha (the energy field of falsehood, pretension and the unreal)
  2. Gurhakshat (the power which binds the mind and defines its limits)
  3. Yama (the power of expansion, this energy field binds the world in laws)
  4. Gandharva (the energy of preservation of health and vitality, this is also the energy which governs all kinds of arts and music)

  4. Asur (the energy field that releases the mind from temptations and gives depth in spirituality)

  1. Mukhya (the chief architect or lord Vishwakarma, this energy field defines the main purpose of the building and also helps in their manifestation)
  2. Bhallat (the energy field which grants colossal abundance, it magnifies the efforts and their results )
  3. Soma (the energy field of lord Kuber, the lord of all wealth and money. It ensures a smooth flow of money and opportunities)
  4. Bhujag (the lord of hidden treasures, this energy field is the preserver of medicines. It safeguards the health of the occupants).

 

Installation of the Vastu Purusha Mandala – Vastu Purusha Sthapana

 A few common questions which we come across are:

  • How should we do the Vastu Mandala sthapana or where to bury Vastu Purush or Vastu yantra?
  • What are the ideal directions to put Vastu Purush in the house or the best Vastu Purusha location in the house?
  • Should we put it on the floor or bury it underground?

 

This is what we believe:

There is absolutely no need to put any Vastu Purush structure in your house. Neither an idol on the ground nor any VastuPurushaYantra underground.

The Vastu Purush is a metaphysical being. It is a diagrammatic and geometric representation of the whole universe.

In other words, it is a combination of 45 different energy fields that exist within every built-up structure. It’s there in a 100 sq.ft. Office and it’s there in a 50,000 sq.ft. Factory.

Whether or not you place an idol or yantra, these energy fields (together called the Vastu Purusha Mandala) will exist in different proportions in your building.

Therefore, all you need to do to please the Vastu Purusha is to design your house as per the tenets of Vastu Shastra, keeping in mind the VastuPurusha Mandala. This is the biggest offer you can make to the Vastu Purusha. Above all, this is the greatest favour you can do for yourself and your family.

 “The Vastu Purusha Mandala represents the manifest form of the Cosmic Being; upon which the temple is built and in whom the temple rests. The temple is situated in Him, comes from Him, and is a manifestation of Him. The Vastu Purusha Mandala is both the body of the Cosmic Being and a bodily device by which those who have the requisite knowledge attain the best results in temple building.”  – Stella Kramrisch ; The Hindu Temple, Vol. I
