Vaastu Tips for your Kitchen
The kitchen is the most important part of a house as food is prepared in the kitchen and food is the basic necessity in surviving. Vaastu Shastra has provided us with enough tips on maintaining a perfect kitchen to bring out the positive energy to our houses. In ancient times, food was prepared in open stoves so the Vaastu of the kitchen primarily depends on the direction and the Sun and Wind. In recent times, the kitchen is made with new designs o the Vaastu of the kitchen has changed a little as compared to the Vaastu for ancient time kitchens.
According to Vaastu, the kitchen must be in the Agneya or South-west corner of the house. If you do not have space in the South-west corner of your house, you can plan the kitchen in the Vayavya or North-west corner of your house.
You need to design your kitchen in such a way that the door of the kitchen must be in the north, east, or North-east direction of the kitchen room. You should ensure that the person cooking must face east. If the person faces in other directions, it may bring bad luck to the house and people staying in the house may fall sick or go through severe financial crisis.
Let us discuss the ideal kitchen according to the tips provided in the Vaastu Shastra.
According to Vaastu Shastra, the doors of the kitchen must be in the north, east or north-east corner of the house. If you want ventilators in your kitchen, you must fix them in the east. If there are small windows as per the design, place them in the south.
The cooking stove must be placed in the south-east corner of the kitchen so that it would enable the cook face east. However, the cooking stove should not be visible from outside the kitchen. The cooking stoves should e placed few inches away from the walls of the kitchen.
The sink should be fixed in the north-east as suggested by the Vaastu Shastra. The cooking stove and the stove should not be aligned and should have a fair distance between them as fire and water are not compatible.
The drinking water container should be kept in the north-east corner of the kitchen as it would provide the owner of the house with good health and help the owner remain free from water borne diseases.
The electrical appliances used in the kitchen should be placed in the south-east or the south corner of the kitchen. If you are planning to place a dining table in the kitchen, do not place it in the center position of the kitchen. The ideal place to put the dining table is in the north-west corner of the kitchen.
Make sure that you do not place the refrigerator in the south-west direction of the kitchen. The best place for placing the refrigerator is the south-east, south, west or in the north direction. You can bring heath to your family members by following the Vaastu Shastra religiously. You can also improve your financial condition by doing so.
