One of the Vastu myths which have become
prevalent due to series of distortions in the ancient wisdom of Vastu is that girls
of marriageable age should sleep in North West zone of the house such that they
get a good groom fast.
Let us see the genesis of this misconception.
As per ancient vastu wisdom, North of North West (NNW) is the zone for
attraction and newlywed couples should sleep here for enjoying a great married
life. Thus in vastu texts this zone is earmarked for “रति गृह” (rati-grah).
In business, this zone is recommended for placing finished goods which are not
getting sold for a long time. This is to ensure they catch the attraction of
the customer such that he gets tempted to buy it immediately.
There are
two levels of distortions which have happened, over the time, with this
concept:
1.
In their effort simplify Vastu and make it applicable in modern
architecture of Indian homes, they reduced the original sixteen zones of Vastu
to eight zones due to which NNW got fitted in North West (NW).
2.
Vastu practitioners thought that since goods placed here are immediately
sold, similarly girls staying here should get immediately married.
Hence this
myth got created and vastu experts started recommending this to their clients.
According to
Mahavastu, there are two fundamental flaws in this concept; girls of marriageable
age are not commodities which need to be sold and hence the very thought they
should sleep in NW is not agreeable, moreover, girls sleeping here may have a
strong attraction towards opposite sex leading to other complications in their
life.
