Vastu for Prayer or Pooja room (Temple)

Vastu for Prayer or Pooja room or Temple room

One of the important areas in any home is a zone of tranquility, a prayer or meditation area. According to vastu, North east corner zone is best suitable for the prayer room or home temple. This is a place that brings us closer to our Creator. It can be considered lifting one’s mind and heart to God. Here we can talk to God about the everyday things of human life, about our joys and sorrows, our needs and wants, our disappointments and pleasures.  Prayer space serves as an escape from the chaos of modern hectic life.
Prayer and how an individual prays is often shaped by religious beliefs. But one does not have to belong to a specific religion to pray. Prayer offers us an opportunity to commune with our Creator, draw on the revitalizing power of the Word of God, and to contemplate and more deeply appreciate our lives. Prayer is an important part of everyday life.

Tranquility zone is a means of helping people attain inner peace in this crowded and busy world. It works by creating an atmosphere in which the mind, body, and spirit are soothed and made tranquil.
Best time for prayer can be at every early morning or evening, a thank you for a good day, for the warmth of the sun, for love of friends who support and assist us even on our bad or difficult days.
This is a space where human-made problems are left behind like a wet umbrella at the door.
If you do not have the space to allocate an entire room for pooja, you can set up a small temple on the east wall of the North-east zone of the house.

We all have a room for eating, sleeping, playing, cooking and meeting. What about a sacred space in the home, which is more important than above activities.

In this article, we would like to share you a few important things to consider when planning a prayer space.
