Fire- Important element of Vastu


Agni (Fire)
Sun is the most vital source of energy and light. It is the soul of
the universe. Formation of day and night, charge in seasons is
brought about by the movement of Sun in relation to the movement of
earth. Fire element is related to our sense of sound, touch and
sight. It is difficult to imagine life on earth without Sun.

The Sun's rays can be split into 7 plus 2 colours. Beginning from
the very beneficial ultra-violet rays in the Eastern side
corresponding to North-East, the Sun's rays further split into
violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red (VIBGYOR) and
intra-red in South-East.

Direction that lies midway between the east and the south is known
as Agneya (south-east). Agni (fire) is the lord of this direction.
He is the preserver and defender of every being. Agni also carries
the message of people who worship and offer oblations with devotion
to God.

Worshippers of Agni are economically strong and long living. Agni
himself takes care of the people who make offerings into him. Agni
also provides them with comfort, peace, prosperity and progeny.

While constructing a house, the first pillar must be erected in the
south-east direction. Alternatively, kitchen of the house should
occupy a place in this direction. This is the foremost and an
important rule of VAASTU Shastra. First day of every month also
represents the element fire.

A warm Agneya direction makes a man healthy, whereas a faulty use
makes the owner short tempered.

Important Points About Fire Placement

Fire in the Southeast or Northwest

The southeast is the home of the fire element and the northwest is
the home of the air element. Because of the interconnectedness of
these two elements, fire features should only be placed in the
southeast or northwest of any room, building or property. This
includes kitchens, stoves, fireplaces, open flames and outdoor
cooking features.

Fire in the Northeast or Southwest

A fire feature should not be situated in the southwest or northeast
quadrant of a property, building or room. A kitchen or fireplace,
for example, in the southwest brings conflicts and arguments. A
kitchen or fireplace in the northeast will cause whatever money you
make to `burn up' and go away. It also brings health problems,
conflicts and arguments.

If you have no fire at south east, simply place an fire pyramid made
of crystals at Southeast corner of house to activate agni element.
