The place of our deceased ancestors and forefathers in Sanatan culture, Indian traditions and Vastu Shastra is considered extremely respectable and worshipable. Hanging pictures of our elders in the house and remembering them daily shows our immense devotion towards them, but it is often seen that due to lack of information, people hang the pictures of ancestors anywhere in the house or keep such things right in front of them or around them which are considered completely prohibited as per the rules of Vaastu. Well-known Vaastu Gurus and Astrology experts clearly say that keeping certain items in front of or just below the picture of the ancestors can cause serious Vaastu defects for the family, which can suddenly snatch away the happiness and peace of the house and along with financial constraints, there is a possibility of increased discord among the family members. In order for the energy of ancestors to remain positive in our homes and their blessings always shower on the family, it is very important to know what the Vaastu rules related to the pictures of ancestors say and what mistakes should not be made even by mistake. Let us know in depth about all those important rules of Vastu Shastra in this detailed and special report.
Scientific and spiritual aspect of importance of places and pictures of ancestors in Vastu Shastra
According to the principles of Vastu Shastra, the South and South-West direction of our house is considered to be the direction of ancestors i.e. South-West direction. Placing pictures of ancestors in this direction is considered to be the best and fruitful, because this keeps the ancestral power balanced and positive energy is transmitted in the house. However, many people unknowingly install the pictures of their ancestors in the room containing the deities, right next to the Lord or near His feet, which is considered a big mistake both in Vastu and religious scriptures. The place of gods and goddesses is supreme and revered, while ancestors are our guides and respectable, hence the pictures of both should never be kept at the same level or together. Vastu Gurus suggest that the picture of the ancestors should always be placed in such a part of the house where the people coming and going do not come in contact with them and a peaceful atmosphere is maintained, so that the proper flow of their energy can happen smoothly in the entire house.
Do not keep these prohibited items in front of or around the pictures of your ancestors.
According to Vastu Shastra experts, it is considered completely inauspicious to keep some things just below or in front of the picture of the ancestors which attract negative energy. The first and foremost thing is that one should never hang any picture of a living person, idols of Gods and Goddesses or calendars around the frame of the ancestors, as this leads to conflict of energies. Apart from this, there should not be a place for keeping shoes and slippers, dustbin, broom or any kind of heavy and junk items right in front of the ancestors’ pictures. If you place a table or rack just below the photo, it should not be dust-accumulated and unnecessary food items or electronic gadgets should not be piled up there. Due to these seemingly small but extremely significant Vaastu imperfections, the head of the household and other members may have to face mental stress, health issues and frequent interruptions in business.
Other important Vaastu rules related to the pictures of ancestors whose observance is mandatory
According to the rules of Vaastu, not only the material, but also the size of the picture of the ancestors, its frame and the way of hanging it matters a lot. One should never hang photographs of one’s living parents or living elders in a gallery along with photographs of dead ancestors or similar ones, because according to astrological beliefs doing so is considered inauspicious for the age and health of the living persons. Apart from this, one should avoid placing very large or scary pictures of ancestors in the house; One should always keep their calm, smiling and gentle picture, on which it is best to just light a lamp or show respect instead of offering garlands and flowers regularly. If a picture accidentally gets broken or its glass gets broken, then it should be immediately removed from the house and floated in a holy river, because keeping a broken picture in the house is equivalent to inviting major Vaastu defects.
