Chitra se Chitta: Pictures and Portraits at Home Shape Emotions

Interior vastu is emotion and action controlled by the interior: what the eye sees daily at home changes the mind. Pictures of God and loving family scenes bring good thoughts, while vulgar, violent or sorrowful images change emotions at once.
Taught inInterior VastuElement Friendship, Rashi Elements and the 16 Zones for Interior Planning

What it does

Uses pictures, colours and figures to keep the emotions and actions of the family positive.

Where

Living areas and rooms of the house

Samagri used

  • Pictures of God
  • Affectionate (vatsalya) family photos showing the whole family laughing and playing

See every other use of:

Murti (Idols)Pictures and Paintings

How to do it

  1. 1Choose every portrait, photo, idol, artifact and symbol by the emotion it creates
  2. 2Place pictures of God and happy, affectionate family photos
  3. 3Remove vulgar pictures
  4. 4Remove paintings that show war, crime, unrest or rage

Cautions

  • Do not hang Mahabharata or other war scenes at home, even though that war was fought under Krishna's guidance
  • Do not hang images of crying or suffering people

Explanation and notes

On seeing pictures of God, wrong thoughts and lust do not arise; vulgar pictures change the emotions immediately. A portrait of a crying woman with tears falling from both eyes hung in many Indian homes around 1981 to 1985; the teacher links that period to the greatest distress, suicides and dowry cases among women, as an example of a picture changing the mind.

Principle

Basis of Interior Planning: Goal, Kundali, Current Flow and Planet Yogas

Before any interior, fix the goal of the space, study the owner's kundali, check the current (energy) flow and base every arrangement, colour and artifact on planet combinations. Harmful yogas of the kundali must never be recreated with artifacts, while good yogas should be built.

Element Friendship and Enmity Chart (Tatva Maitri) for Interiors

Humans are made of four working elements, water, earth, fire and air; nobody belongs to the space element alone. Water and earth are friends, fire and air are friends, water and fire are enemies, earth and air are enemies, while water-air and earth-fire are sam-mitra (neutral friends).

Principle

Element Matching for Marriage, Business Partnership and Friendship

The element friendship chart is also the basis of compatibility: two people of the same element or of friendly elements (water with earth, fire with air) keep a heart-to-heart bond. Compare the rashi elements of both before a marriage, partnership or close friendship.

Finding Your Element from the Moon Sign (Janma Rashi)

A person's element comes from the janma rashi, the rashi number written with the Moon (Cha) in the kundali. Writing the 12 rashis in order under Fire, Earth, Air and Water gives each element three rashis.

Principle

Janma Rashi vs Naam Rashi: Which Element to Use Where

The janma rashi (Moon sign) runs the whole life and is used for stable works such as house construction muhurta and marriage, while the rashi of the name in use can be used for business records. Naming a child by the janma rashi keeps the person's element unchanged.
