MOTHER’S DAY AND VASTU A famous saying states that "God could not be everywhere and so he invented mothers", these words are a great inspiration to mothers across the world. When all is well, a mother puts her children before anything else, including their own comfort and happiness. Nothing can come close to the love that a mother feels for her children. Most women are inherently excellent mothers. Women carry their young before they are born and then continue to nurture them throughout their childhood and even into adulthood. Thus, every year a day has been set aside to appreciate the role of a mother, and the day is called Mother's Day. Considering it to be a great opportunity I had tried to list out some guidelines based on the Vastu principles for every stage of motherhood. Vastu Shastra is an ancient architectural science that balances the five elements (Earth Air Water Fire and Space) and supports stress free living or working spaces. As mother knows only one thing, no matter whether her children are good or bad, she goes all out to dole out her love and support, similarly the Earth gives us just about everything and anything irrespective of the kind of people who live on it. As an integral part of this earth, we live in a sea of electromagnetic and stellar influences. Every particle of energy is linked to the next particle. Every shift occurring in this atmosphere has the potential to affect our lives and actions. According to Vastu Shastra, the sun produces different qualities of energy on its path from east to west and can influence our existence right from birth till death. Conceiving Mothers: Best place for a couple planning to conceive a child, is South West room of there house. In fact South West zone of a dwelling is considered to be place of Mother Earth in Vastu Shastra. Keeping a bed room brings stability in the life of occupants and also helps in smooth conceiving. Alternatively newly wed couples can have their bed room in North adjacent to North West corner. However they should keep their head towards south (The human body also has a magnetic field having its head as North Pole, hence when head is kept in South it aliens itself with Earths electro magnetic lines and we get undisturbed sound sleep). The bedroom is linked with the intimacy of a loving relationship. A cluttered bedroom increases the probability of couple being exhausted most of the time, leaving no time for a sensual union. If you do not keep it clean at both visible and invisible levels, then you will feel that you are getting churlish and loosing sleep.

Further we must under stand the development of baby in the womb to co relate it with our ancient Vastu Shastra.
First Quarter of Pregnancy: The South-east zone of the house and the South-east sector of a room are govern by element Fire and hence should be avoided by a pregnant lady at least for the first three months.
At 4 weeks from conception: Eyes, ears and respiratory system begin to develop at a rapid pace, At 8 weeks from conception: Lungs begin to form. Arms and legs have lengthened with foot and hand areas distinguishable. Physician’s can feel the heartbeat of the baby, through the ultrasonic stethoscope. And during 10-12 weeks from conception: The external features of the ear begin to take their final shape. Facial features continue to develop. All essential organs have at least begun formation. Hence in my opinion the best place for a pregnant mother to pass her maximum time during first quarter will still be the same i.e. South West room of there house. Second Quarter of Pregnancy: During 13
to 16 Weeks the development of baby happens as under: More muscle tissue and bones have developed, and the bones become harder. The fetus makes active movements. Sucking motions are made with the mouth. The liver and pancreas produce fluid secretion. As all the development can be related to mother earth hence the wood be mother should spent her maximum time in South West room. Third Quarter of Pregnancy:
This is the period when fetus growth is all-round. During 19 th week Eyebrows and eyelashes appear. Nails appear on fingers and toes. The fetus is more active with increased muscle development. And in 27 th week The Brain develops rapidly. The Nervous System develops enough to control some body functions. Hence this is the time when pregnant mother-to-be should live in North East (Eeshan) zone of the house. This area is considered to be blessed with spiritual & cosmic energies. Regular meditation by the expectant mothers also helps in brain tissue development of unborn baby as well as provides relief from different stresses.

The Post Delivery: After the Child birth when Mother and child returns home their bed room should be in the south-west corner. Ayurveda says, “42 Days for 42 Years” is the impact of nourished food immediately postpartum on health and ability to mother and child. Little things can make such a big difference at this time. Hence utmost care is needed for the nourishment of Postpartum Mothers.
GENERAL TIPS FOR ENTIRE PERIOD OF PREGNANCY: - For health, wealth, harmony and happiness, Brahmasthan (the center of house) should be left open and is free of obstructing objects. -Would be mother should never sleep under the beam as it causes pain, depending on which portion of the body part is facing the beam. -She should not keep a mirror in front of the bed, and it’s also not advisable to keep broken mirror at home. -Home should be clutter-free and the waste basket should never be kept in the north-east corner of the room. - For the walls, grey, black and brown colours be avoided because it creates a pessimistic attitude. Preferred colours include, off-white, light blue or light green. Such colours make one feel fresh, enthusiastic and have a buzzing creative mind. - Normally, basal body temperature of pregnant women is higher during pregnancy and unborn baby is very sensitive to any kind of radiations. Hence, It is advisable for the mother would-be to keep herself away from gadgets that emanates Electro Magnetic Frequencies e.g. a television, a computer Microwave Oven, etc - Since blue colour has a cooling and astringent effect, a soft zero candle bulb, which lights the room during night, is recommended. The other two soothing colures are violet and indigo these can also be alternated during the entire period of pregnancy. -Implanting a Charged Promax Pyramid Yantra in Bramhsthan reduces the Geopathic Stress in the house and increases positive / Cosmic Energy providing over all happiness especially to new born and mother.

GRAND MOTHERS ROOM: On mothers day we must not forget our Grandmothers. Let us see what vastu suggests for them. Each of the five elements (earth, water, fire, air and space) is associated with a direction and each directional zone has a specific impact on our health. Different aspects of positive aging are optimally supported by a specific direction. Aging is also affected by environmental stress, which is the cause of most human disease. However as per vastu the south room of the house would be the best for grand mother/ parents . ------------------
