Spiritual Corner of Your House - Prayer area

 Spiritual Corner of your house - Prayer area

Wisdom from the Banks of Mother Ganga by - H.H. Pujya Swami Chidanand Saraswatiji

"I always say, 'If you never want to be cornered in your life, have a spiritual corner in your heart and in your home.'

We spend so much time and energy designing and decorating our rooms and offices. We have beautiful bookcases for our books and photographs. We have spacious closets for our clothes. If our body is tired we can get into bed or take a hot bath. But, where is the place for our hearts, our minds, and our emotions? Where is the place where we can go to be replenished and rejuvenated?

That place should be the spiritual corner.  If we live in a large, spacious home we might be able to dedicate a full room as the 'prayer room' 'meditation room' or 'breathing room.'  However, it doesn’t matter if we don’t have that much space. The quantity of space is not what is relevant; only the quality is.

The spiritual corner should be a place filled with any and all objects that bring peace to your mind and heart. If you worship God in any particular form, you can have images of that form. If you do not worship God in form, then you can put things there that connects you to God spiritually, such as flowers or candles.

The spiritual corner should be kept only for spiritual practice – for meditation, Japa, puja, introspection, relaxation, breathing, silence, etc. Over time, you will see that the vibrational energy there will come to be different from the rest of the house. The place will be 'charged.' As soon as you enter the room or sit in that corner, your entire nervous system will undergo not only emotional and psychological changes but physiological changes as well. The energy will be calm, serene, and tender."

Plants to Increase Wealth and Prosperity at Home & Office

One way to create a healthier environment in your home is to use plants. There are many plants that can help reduce the levels of CO2 in your home. Placing certain plants in your home or office can increase wealth and prosperity.



Also, they can improve your focus, reduce anxiety, and lift your mood.

There is evidence that certain plants emit positive ions into the air, which can positively affect mood and promote feelings of contentment. Additionally, these plants can help improve your financial situation by increasing your luck and attracting wealth and abundance into your life.

Productivity in office
While working in an office with a view of a lush green garden or a home with a variety of colorful blooming flowers will make you more productive, working in an office with a view of a bleak grey concrete wall will make you less productive.

What you view everyday matters. It impacts your thoughts, emotions, and ultimately your actions.

Plants and Vastu

One of the best ways to get the most out of Vastu Shastra is to add plants to your home or office. They’re not just beautiful — they also have the power to clean the air and boost your abundance.
It’s based on the idea that everything in the universe — like the placement of planets or the flow of energy — has a vibrational pattern, and these flows of energy can be manipulated to a beneficial end.

Benefits of plants

  • Planting in your home or office can help with energy, wellness, and productivity.
  • From improving air quality to lowering your energy bills, indoor plants have a ton of benefits that make them a must-have in any home. They also happen to make great decor!
  • Indoor plants are great for improving air quality in your home because they naturally filter out pollutants like formaldehyde, xylene, toluene, and ammonia, which are common in many household products like cleaning products, paints, and fabrics.
Fern Plant

They are also wonderful for purifying the air in your home and are especially helpful if you have health issues. To grow ferns, you can choose from a variety of species that are suited to your climate. For example, if you live in a warm climate, you can grow tropical ferns. In a cooler climate, you can grow Alpine or Woodland ferns. Wherever you live, the soil you choose to grow your ferns in is important.



Placing a Boston fern in your entryway or workspace is a good idea. It is considered a welcoming plant.

Because it is a superb natural air cleaner, this lush species is a true good-energy plant for every space!

Bamboo plant

Bamboo is associated with wealth and prosperity.

If you have an indoor bamboo plant, try to find a place near where you usually sit or spend most of your time. It is believed that the energy emitted by a plant affects the person that spends most of their time in its vicinity.

You can position a bamboo plant in the southeast corner of your house or office as it is a potent symbol of wealth and abundance. It can also be used to enhance romance and stimulate creativity.

In order to make the most of this Vastu tip, you need to place the bamboo plant in water. You can use a decorative vase or bowl for this purpose. The water must be changed regularly to keep the plant healthy.

Bamboo plants are also very beneficial if you have a desk job as they improve air quality. And, most importantly, they look very aesthetically pleasing.

Jade Plant

Jade plants are known to bring good fortune, wealth, and prosperity to the home.



They are also said to bring good health to your family, especially prosperity for your children. They can be placed anywhere, such as on a desk, in the living room or family room, or even in your garden.

Jade plants are known to help with concentration, improve blood flow, and reduce anxiety.


Lavender Plant

Lavender is beautiful, aromatic, and has many health benefits. It is a fragrant herb that is commonly used in natural remedies. Many people grow lavender as a houseplant, and it is commonly used to repel mosquitoes and other insects. When grown indoors, lavender plants offer plenty of benefits for your health. They improve air quality, reduce stress, and have many other health benefits.


Lavender plants also look beautiful and can be used to decorate your home or office. It can be placed in the living room, kitchen window, or family area in the house. Keep the lavender plant at the reception, conference room, or CEO cabin in office locations.


Areca Palm

The Vastu benefits of this palm tree is great for wealth and success. It has a wide trunk that symbolizes wealth and power, and the open, welcoming nature of its fronds represents the welcoming of wealth. This palm tree is also a great feng shui cure for readers, writers, and anyone who works in the creative profession.



The open fronds of this palm tree also welcome new ideas and thoughts. This palm tree is also great for the health and wealth of anyone who enjoys nice outdoor spaces or gardens.


If you want to make sure that your home or office is filled with positive energy, you can’t go wrong with areca or any normal palms.
