Vastu Tips: Vastu Shastra speaks of harmony in our abodes, and Priyanka Agarwal shares some useful vastu tips on her Instagram about enhancing positivity in a house. One key focus she likes to speak about is the sacred basil plant or, as it is also known, Tulsi. This plant is revered in Hindu households for its spiritual importance as well as health benefits.
Common Mistakes in Basil Plant Care
Priyanka enumerates the common blunders which, as per her believes, would cause one to lose more than gain with the basil plant’s care. On Sundays and Ekadashi, she states that the basil plant should not be watered or have its leaves plucked. According to Priyanka, these are special days for Goddess Lakshmi who resides in basil and her fasting should not be disturbed.
This, she then explains, is when you should not harvest the leaves using your fingernails. She says join hand in reverence, chant a mantra and then pluck the leaves. It reflects respect and builds positive energy related to that plant.
Reverence for Goddess Lakshmi
She also suggests dressing the basil plant to symbolize good luck. She further suggests that the mantra should be chanted using both hands together to demonstrate her respect and gratitude while watering the basil plant. Out of these practices, she also guides on how the basil plant should be placed in the house and which direction it should face and how many plants should be kept. Such details result in the maximization of the energy of the plant and thereby the Vastu of the house as a whole.
Some good traditions can be built into an environment that is not only spiritually enriching but also conducive to wellness and prosperity through the application of some good Vastu tips regarding the basil plant from Priyanka Agarwal. Her guidance reminds us to be mindful in our rituals, thereby encouraging spiritual growth as well as a harmonious living space.
