VAASTU & COLOURS

Beneficial Rays of the Sun

Vaastu refers to the Northeast as Easanya or Devamoola (god's hub) as it is the most important spiritual zone of any structure.  When passed through a prism, sun's rays can be split into seven visible colours while two colours (ultra-violet and infra-fed) still remain invisible. Accordingly, the Paramasayika Mandala (resting hub) for Manushyalaya (human habitation) provides for division of each side of a habitat into nine equal parts.  The first part beginning from northeast (most potent for knowledge, intellect and spiritual pursuit) represents ultra-violet rays sequencing into violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, red and finally infra-red corresponding to the southeast (most potent in worldly or family sense).

Ultra-violet is an inspiring and spiritual colour at the head of the cooling trio including violet and indigo as well. This cooling trio of the spectrum has the soothing effect on the body and corresponds to the northeast promoter of sound health. Violet is good for bone growth, maintaining the potassium and sodium balance of the body. This balances all metabolism and glandular activities. The middle trio blue, green and yellow representing east are balancing colours.  The heating trio orange, red and infrared are good for recuperation from ailments that require healing heat.

Planets & Colours

All things are made from five elements - Fire, Earth, Air, Water and Sky, and all are colourful. Imbalance caused by colours can be rectified. All colours have their lord i.e. planets, and each direction of the vaastu purush is governed by the planets. Astrologically favourable planet can also be used in occupants’ personal areas.
