According to Vastu Shastra, the environment of the house affects our life not only physically but also at the energy level. It is believed that if there is a balance of light, cleanliness and positive energy in the house, happiness, prosperity and mental peace remain. At some places, continuous darkness or dirt can increase negative energy.
According to Vaastu experts, it is important to pay special attention to certain places in the house, so that the flow of positive energy remains there and no Vaastu defects arise.
1. Main Entrance
The main door of the house is considered the entry point of energy. Darkness or dirt can increase negativity here. Therefore, it is very important to always maintain light and cleanliness at this place.
2. Kitchen
The kitchen is considered a place of food and prosperity. Dark or dirty environment here can affect financial and family life. Therefore, keeping adequate lighting and cleanliness in the kitchen is considered auspicious.
3. Pooja Room
The puja place is considered the most sacred corner of the house. Keeping it dark here is considered negative. The lamp or light should always be lit so that the spiritual energy is maintained.
4. Staircase Area
Stairs are considered a path for the flow of energy. Darkness here may increase obstacles and instability. Therefore this part should always be kept bright and clean.
5. Bathroom and toilet area
According to Vastu, dirt or darkness in the bathroom can increase negative energy. It is considered necessary to have proper ventilation and lighting here.
6. Store Room/Unused Room
Rooms that are rarely used often become dark and dusty. It is considered a center of negative energy, hence these places should be kept clean and illuminated from time to time.
According to Vastu Shastra, lights in the house are not just light but a symbol of positive energy. Where there is light and cleanliness, there is an atmosphere of happiness, peace, prosperity and mental balance.
However, in modern view, experts also believe that cleanliness, airy environment and organized lifestyle are the keys to real happiness and peace.
