Vaastu Shanti worship is fundamentally a reverence for the gods and deities representing directions, the five elements of nature, and various natural forces. This worship aims to address and rectify any Vaastu dosha present in a property—whether related to the land, building, or surrounding environment—by performing rituals according to Vaastu Shastra. Such practices help mitigate potential issues without necessitating significant alterations or demolitions to the structure, thereby maintaining harmony and balance within the space.
There is also a Sanketik Vaastu Shanti worship method, where we adhere to certain essential aspects of traditional Vaastu Shanti worship. This approach involves symbolic Vaastu Shanti worship rather than following the documented procedures of Vaastu Shanti worship.
Let us explore some remedies to eliminate Vaastu Dosh (defects) present in one's residential or business premises.
1. Ganesh pooja and Navagrah Shanti pooja for Vaastu Purush.
2. Navachandi Yagya, Shantipath, and Agnihotra Yagya.
3. An idol of Vaastu Purush, along with Nag (snake) made of silver, copper wire, pearls, and powla, should be placed in red cloth with red earth in the East direction.
4. Red sand, cashew nuts, and powla wrapped in red cloth should be placed in the West direction on Tuesday, worshiped with incense to bring peace to the house.
5. Old buildings should be demolished with the permission of Vaastu Purush, following a proper prayer.
