There are many symbolic connections between a traditional Hindu home and the Hindu temple. Many older Indian homes have an interior center courtyard, called the Brahmasthana. The most sacred part of the house, the Brahmasthana is similar to the inner sanctum of the temple where spiritual power radiates in every direction. If you happen to have a home with an open courtyard in the center, treat it as the most holy part of the home, the spiritual center, and let its power flow through you. If you don't have a central courtyard, then try to keep the center of each room free of furniture so that the spiritual power can collect there and radiate in all directions. Connecting with this spiritual power will help to reinforce your consciousness of your own divine essence. |

PLEASE NOTE: If you live in the southern hemisphere, you will need to shift everything on the vastu purusha mandala 90 degrees to the right. For example, any advice that suggests the northeast would mean the southeast in the southern hemisphere; the south would mean west; etc. |

If you live in an apartment building or loft, then your focus will be on your interior space and its relationship to the cardinal and intermediate directions and their corresponding elements. If you live in a home with property, you will want to be sure that the land, which also contains the five elements, is in harmony with the home and with your inner self. |
