In Sanatan Hindu tradition and Vedic Vaastu Shastra, the main door of the house is considered not just a physical structure but the basis of the entire positive energy, happiness, peace and wealth and prosperity of the house. According to ancient religious beliefs, the threshold of the house is actually the main entry point of Goddess Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth, from where divine powers enter the house. For this reason, in Indian culture, many strict spiritual and practical rules have been set for the doors of the house, which have been followed for centuries. From the prohibition of sitting on the doorstep in the evening to avoiding placing one’s foot on the threshold, many rules are recorded in the Vedas and Vastu texts. In this context, a very important rule is that whenever a close person, relative or honored guest is being bid farewell from home, it is strictly prohibited to stand at the door frame and cry, shed tears or express sadness. There is a religious belief that shedding tears at this holy place affects the entire energy system of the house and also has a serious impact on the fate of the person going on a journey.
Religious and Vaastu significance of crying at the doorstep: Danger of negative energy and bad luck in travelling.
According to Astropatri’s chief astrologer Shri Chandresh Sharma, in Sanatan traditions the door frame is considered the main conductor of energy, which creates a balance between the inner and outer world of the house. When a person leaves home for some important work or a long journey, his first step forward from the main door is considered a symbol of a new auspicious beginning. At such a holy moment, if someone cries or expresses grief while standing at the doorstep, then Tamas and negative waves are immediately created in the atmosphere. According to astrological calculations, tears shed at the time of farewell weaken the mind and aura of the person travelling, which increases the chances of unexpected obstacles, inauspicious events, accidents or failure in work. Apart from this, this type of inauspicious behavior displeases the family deity and Goddess Lakshmi located inside the house, which has a deep impact on the prosperity and peace of the house. That is why there is a clear provision in the scriptures to always bid farewell with a happy mind, a soft smile on the face, sweet words and good wishes, so that the journey of the person leaving can be completed smoothly and safely.
Do not make these mistakes on the doorstep even by mistake: Due to the anger of Goddess Lakshmi, there can be huge financial loss.
According to Vastu Shastra, the main door and threshold of the house should always be given god-like respect, because this place is a mirror of the honor and financial status of the head of the house. Astrologers are of the opinion that dust, mud, pile of shoes and slippers or any kind of dirt should never accumulate on the doorstep of the house. Due to dirt on the door frame, the ill effects of Rahu increases and instead of positive forces, the flow of negative energy starts spreading in the rooms of the house. Along with this, one should never argue, use abusive words or speak harsh words with any neighbor, relative or family member while standing or sitting at the threshold. It is believed that fighting while standing in the middle of the door directly disrupts the happiness and prosperity of the house and Goddess Lakshmi abandons that house, as a result of which the family has to face huge problems like debt and financial crisis.
Daily door frame worship and evening rules: There will be permanent happiness and prosperity in the house.
In order to mitigate Vaastu defects and maintain permanent blessings in the house, it has been suggested in ancient texts to clean the doorposts of the house by washing them with water every morning, making Swastikas with turmeric or roli and lighting a lamp of cow ghee or sesame oil there in the evening. At the time of twilight i.e. at the time of sunset, when day and night meet, sitting with legs spread on the door frame, eating or sleeping is considered completely prohibited, because this is the time when Goddess Lakshmi is considered to enter the house. By following these Vedic and Vaastu rules properly, the health of all the family members remains good, harmony in mutual relationships increases and the house always remains full of happiness, peace and prosperity.
