Vastu of the main entrance and its deep significance in life: Why it is important to have the right things


In Indian Sanatan culture and ancient Vaastu Shastra, the main entrance of our house is not considered just a way of entry and exit, rather it is called the main gate of energy of the house. Vastu experts and astrologers believe that both positive and negative energies of the universe enter our house through this main door. If the main entrance of the house is arranged and free from defects as per the rules of Vaastu, then there is a continuous flow of happiness, peace, health and wealth in the lives of the members living there. On the contrary, if there are Vaastu-related obstacles or obstructions near the main door, then one may have to face financial difficulties, mental conflicts and all kinds of obstacles. Recently, many well-known Vaastu Gurus have once again emphasized that if some special and sacred objects are placed at the main door of the house, then it becomes the surest way to attract Goddess Lakshmi. In this article, we are going to tell you in detail about those 5 special things, by placing them at your main door today, you can change the fortunes of your house and open new avenues of blessings.

According to Vastu Shastra, the first and most important thing on the main door of the house is considered to be the traditional auspicious symbol and a bundle of fresh flowers (Toran). It is considered very auspicious to hang a garland of fresh Bandhanwar and marigold flowers made of mango, ashoka or peepal leaves at the main door every day or on special festivals and auspicious occasions. Apart from this, the footprints of Goddess Lakshmi (coming inside the house) and the sacred ‘Swastika’ must be made on both ends of the door using turmeric, kumkum or Ashtagandha. Vastu gurus say that these symbols block negative energies and the evil eye from outside the threshold of the house, while inviting positive and divine energies. Whenever a guest or family member enters through this sacred door, a positive energy is transmitted to his/her mind. Therefore, clean your main door today and decorate it with these sacred symbols and see how the atmosphere of the house gradually becomes happy and energetic.

In Vastu Shastra, the balance of water and metal is considered the main factor for the arrival of wealth in the house. According to the advice of Vastu Gurus, if a clean glass or brass vessel is filled with some clean water and fresh flowers (like rose or marigold petals) and a few drops of aromatic oil are placed in it at the right or left corner of the main entrance of the house, then it gives huge Vastu benefits. The water should be changed daily so that any kind of impurity does not spread there. This remedy keeps the energy of the main door calm, pure and fresh. Apart from this, there should not be any kind of dustbin, pile of broken items or shoes right in front of the main door, because due to this, Goddess Lakshmi gets angry and returns back. This bowl or vessel filled with water kept near the main door absorbs all the bad energy coming inside the house and allows only positivity inside, due to which the doors of blessings always remain open in the house.

In Indian traditions, vermilion and mauli i.e. Kalava are considered extremely sacred and a symbol of protective energy. According to Vastu experts, if Kalava (red or yellow thread) is tied regularly or during auspicious time on both sides of the door frame of the main door of the house and a tilak of kumkum and vermillion is applied on it, then it protects the members of the house from the evil eye and tantric obstacles. It is also considered very auspicious to keep a small betel nut or a coin on a pile of rice near the door frame to remove the obstacles coming at the main door. This remedy symbolizes that the stores of food and money in your house will always be full and there will never be any shortage of anything. In Vastu Shastra, these small measures have been described to have huge and miraculous effects, which do not require any huge expense but only a little devotion and rules. By adopting this ancient rule at the main door of your house today itself, you can experience positive changes in your life.

The last but two most important remedies of Vastu Shastra are to light a ghee lamp at the main door in the evening and keep a silver or copper coin near the door frame. Evening time (twilight) is considered to be the time of Goddess Lakshmi’s visit, and if a small pure ghee lamp is lit outside the main entrance of the house, then darkness and poverty never enter that house. Apart from this, if a copper or silver coin and a little cowry or Gomti Chakra are tied in a red cloth and kept safe or hidden near the main door, it works like a safe and increases immense wealth in the house. It is a clear message from Vastu Gurus that the main door should always be illuminated, clean and fragrant, because the house where the door smiles is the permanent residence of Goddess Lakshmi. Install these five things at the main entrance of your house today and open new doors of happiness, prosperity and blessings for your family.
