VASTU SHASTRA
Ishaan Corner (Northeast)
Though each
direction & sub direction plays a vital role in our life as per the
doctrine of Vastu Shastra but amongst all directions
the sub-direction of, Ishaan is considered
to be the most auspicious. In common terminology, this
direction lies between the directions of north & east. The perfect method to measure this
direction is very simple. Just divide the
whole premises in 9X9=81 equal parts
& select 9 parts in the extreme
north-east corner on the layout plan of your house, plot, office or other such premise. According to the Vastu tenets, this direction should be used for all
the activities which are called auspicious, pious, ritualistic,
intellectual, and meditational & of
similar categories. We shall discuss each main activity & its positioning & placement according to their
requirement in such a manner that
those perfectly align in tune to the Vaidic Vastu principles.
Pooja place: The best
way to utilise the sanctity of north-east (Ishaan) direction
is to make it our worship or daily prayer area.
No doubt
God is the super most power and has enough positive
force but as a human being we want the in- transition
of required vibrations for our comfort. Certainly, by way of our trust,
faith and immense devotion
the deities, idols or other visible (Saakaar) and invisible (Nirakaar) forms of almighty start vibrating on a certain frequency and constitute a positive and
circular energy field called hallow or
Aura. As a devotee we need some fraction of those positive vibrations from that ocean of abandoned
energy for our physical, financial,
mental and spiritual growth. Therefore, our facing and the true alignment of God with the vibrant
rays of rising sun becomes essential.
This can easily be practised if we plan the Pooja place or domestic small Mandir in Ishaan direction
in such a way that the devotee should
be facing the direction of east to welcome the rising sun and Gods face can be in west, north or south to be set as
per the size of our Pooja casing and
number and size of idols, pictures or symbols
of God.
Place of meditation: If one is
lucky to learn and practice meditation, Ishaan direction is the best
place for the same. In this activity too one should face
east while sitting or posing for meditation. The second-best
direction for meditation is north. One may choose the best suited direction
in given area. The biggest benefit shall be reflected in
proper concentration & less deviation because controlling over the
thoughts & pinpointing to the bull’s eye is the key to
successful meditation, which can be achieved in the auspicious
direction of north-east (Ishaan).
Study: Study is
another act of great significance that too needs the concentration. In other
word education is the synonym of appeasing Saraswati,
the Goddess of wisdom. This is not possible unless one is sitting in
an area that is blessed with positivity. As cited above, it
is the sub direction of north-east which is always filled with positive
vibrations, thus conducive to learning. In
most of the educational institutes like schools & colleges one may see the grand picture or statue of Goddess Saraswati that symbolises the
true feelings of getting learned. As
per Vastu science, the statue of
Goddess Saraswati is set in such a way that students face east while attending the morning prayers. That is
why the library, reading room &
study rooms are appreciated in Ishaan direction.
Yoga: Any
activity that is done for our good health, wealth and happiness is
the constituent of finer deed. Yoga is becoming much
popular in modern time, which is a holistic form of exercise; hence
it should also be performed in the positive area of Ishaan direction located in north-east. If one has the doors and windows in north and east directions, they should be kept open in the morning
hours, preferably till 9 o clock. It may work wonders if the balcony, canopy or terrace of northeast direction
is used in a flat in multi-storeyed
apartment where open courtyard is not available.
Planters: Though all
the plants give us oxygen, the life energy but it shall be
wise to prefer planting the small plants, shrubs, creepers &
grass in
Ishaan corner. This sub direction can more be energised and suitably enhanced
if we use small or medium sized aromatic plants in north-east
direction because according to the Vastu beliefs the positive vibrations
travel from north & east to south & west directions,
hence aromatic plants can multiply the positivity if blended with
positive energy field placed in its way in the form of positive
plants. Though all aromatic plants are good as per Vastu, but basil
plant is considered to be the most auspicious plant. In Ayurveda
also the basil plant carries high medicinal
value.
The scientific logic: The
direction of north-east is the primary direction of dawn. It can be
felt and enjoyed with cool breeze filled with maximum
oxygen in the morning hours. This creates a conducive environment
to bless with positivity. The second big scientific reason is that the
nature of sunrays we receive in the morning hours that lie somewhere
around 320 nanometres and called the UV-1, bless us with vitamin D,
antifungal & antibacterial virtues and filled with
refreshing energy vibrations. The mix of the above virtues create a positive environment
that has multidimensional arena to bless the mankind with good health and optimistic approach towards the life philosophy.
