There is often a cupboard or chest in our homes which is full of old, worn out or unused clothes. Many times, we keep those clothes for years due to emotional attachment or thinking that they will come in handy someday. But do you know that this pile of old clothes stored in the cupboard can completely block your luck and prosperity at home? Very important rules regarding clothes have been given in Vastu Shastra. If you are also confused in your mind whether to throw these clothes away, donate them or keep them in the cupboard, then today the answer to all your questions is going to be found through the rules of Vaastu.
Pile of old clothes in cupboard and increasing defect of Rahu-Ketu
According to Vastu Shastra, the cupboard is considered the place of arrival of Kubera and wealth. When you stuff your wardrobe with clothes that you are not using for months or years, negative energy starts residing there. Vastu experts say that old, torn, discolored or disorganized clothes increase the effects of Rahu and Ketu in the house. This not only disturbs the mental peace of the family members, but the work being done also starts getting spoiled and they have to face financial crisis.
Is it okay to throw old clothes directly in the garbage?
Many people, in order to empty the cupboard, throw old clothes directly in the dustbin or garbage, which is considered absolutely wrong from Vastu point of view. According to the scriptures, the clothes you wear contain your own energy (aura). When you throw them in dirty places or garbage, that energy gets contaminated, which has a direct negative impact on your health and fortune. Therefore, if clothes are not completely decomposed, they should never be thrown into the garbage heap.
The great mantra of donating, but keep these things in mind
In Vastu Shastra and Astrology, donating old clothes to the needy is considered a very auspicious and virtuous act. By doing this Shani Dev is pleased and many planetary defects in the horoscope are pacified. But there is also a strict rule for donating clothes. Before giving your old clothes to anyone, wash, dry and clean them thoroughly. Donating torn or extremely dirty clothes brings blame instead of virtue. Apart from this, donating clothes on Saturday and Thursday is considered to be most fruitful.
If you want to keep it carefully, then adopt this method of Vastu
If some clothes are very special to you or you have a beautiful memory associated with them and you do not want to remove them under any circumstances, then there should be a right way to keep them. Never place those clothes in the middle of your everyday wardrobe. Fold them well, wrap them in a clean cloth or bag and keep them in the topmost part of the cupboard (loft) or in the cupboard in the south-west corner. Clothes should always be kept organized and fragrant, because scattered and smelly clothes directly displease Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth.
