If you are moving house, working or teaching from home or a community space, I invite you to bless the architecture and guardians of the directions on arrival. By honouring the physical space, you empower the psychic energy drawing in protection, peace and abundance.
Vastu sastra is the Indian science or system of mapping and designing architecture of buildings and construction in precise geometrical patterns which align with the all of the directions and the associated energies (and deities). The structure or site could be a home, office, temple, garden or city. For example, Jaipur, the pink city in Rajasthan was designed by Vidyadhar Bhattacharya on instruction of the Rajput maharajah Jai Singh around vastu sastra principles. Le Corbusier, who designed Chandigarh in the Punjab, also draw upon vastu sastra. The great temples of Tamil Nadu at Chidambaram are built along the ancient principles. All of which I had the privilege of recently visiting - and the energies emanating from these spaces powerfully influenced my energy field and spiritual alignment as I entered from the North or East and moved to the sacred centre or heart known as the Brahmasthan.
