Vastu Tips: Shri Raj Mahajan, one of the most famous Vastu experts, shares some valuable tips on how to turn this space into a harmonious sacred space from his Instagram handle, therajmahajan. His tips highlight how to make sure the spiritual environment is best at your home, according to the traditional rules and regulations of Vastu.
Focus on Family Deities
One such important suggestion from Shri Mahajan is to keep only those photos that indicate family deities, avoiding those of ancestors and reverend Gurus in your home temple. Only the pictures of the family deity, he says, should be kept in your home temple. It can give a clean and single-purposed spiritual atmosphere meant for and reserved only for worshipping or rendering your devotion to your family deity.
Also, Shri Mahajan has stressed that the idols or pictures in your worshiping place should not be more than 7 inches in length. If the idol is bigger in size, then that should be properly consecrated. Consecration is a process through which the idol is manifested with the divine power. Therefore, one should practice routine religious activities like ‘aarti,’ offering food, and dressing like one does to some human god.
Balancing Spirituality and Practicality
Everybody forgets one thing: that the in-home idols, once consecrated, require constant and minute care like that of a living entity with timely rituals, maintenance, and offerings. Shri Mahajan opines, “Household idols should never be consecrated to avoid the extensive liabilities that come with their worship.”.
These vastu tips will surely help one in creating a much more serene, balanced, and spiritually conducive environment within a home. Shri Mahajan’s guidance helps in keeping this sacred space a true reflection of your devotion and respect according to the traditional practices followed in setting the right note for harmony within.
