Vastu Shastra Tips for Diwali

Of all the festivals celebrated in India, Diwali is by far the most glamorous and important one. Enthusiastically enjoyed by people of every religion, so it’s magical and radiant touch creates an atmosphere of joy and festivity.

Deepavali means “the array of lights.” “Thamasomaa jyotirgamaya” (Lead me from darkness to light). This means that where there is darkness light is needed. It is a festival of lights symbolizing the victory of righteousness and the lifting of spiritual darkness. It is to celebrate the victory of good over evil – and the glory of light. This festival commemorates Lord Rama’s return to his kingdom Ayodhya after completing his 14-year exile.

Twinkling oil lamps or diyas light up every home and firework displays are common all across the country.

Another view is that Deepawali is meant to celebrate the destruction of the arrogant tyrant Bali at the hands of Vishnu when the latter appeared in his Vamana (dwarf) avatar.

Here’s how to have a Vastu-friendly Diwali this year:

Also maintain good ventilation aid. Remove clutter from the house. A clutter may include non-working instruments, old clothes, chipped plates and many more. Get rid of ingredients or tools/instruments/devices you do not use. Create a space in the house for new things.

The space clearing on Diwali enhances the power of the superior energies prevailing in the atmosphere. To get the house cleaned properly; if possible get it whitewashed. If not, then at least make sure all the corners, cupboards, and drawers are properly cleaned. Use Himalayan salt with water for mopping the floor as the salt absorbs all the negativity from the atmosphere & almost from all the corners. There should be no cobwebs. Maintain cleanliness where valuable, locker or safe is kept. Clear the space with sound instruments like metal bells, singing bowl, or Tibetan Om Bell.

Lamps

Vastu is all about balancing of the energy. Whenever you light up dark corners or brighten your home in general, you bring sunlight and positive energy into the area. Remove stagnant or negative energy from each and every corner of the house.  Lighting diya’s or candles to activate this area.

Ensure that each and every corner of the house is adequately lit. A lot of people wonder about the right direction for the diya. On Diwali, all directions are equally important. The entrance door must be particularly well lighted – place a Diya on either side and a candle or a Diya at every opening in the house.

Make sure the Puja Diya remains lit for the entire night of Diwali.
