Main Door – Prime importance in Vastu
According to vastu, the main door or entrance has been accorded
prime importance as it lets in or keeps out the vital life-giving
force that promotes health, wealth and luck.
Urja (energy) enters the house through doors and windows. However,
the front door of your house is where the major part of energy
enters and therefore this door plays an important role in
determining the flow of vibrations experienced by the household.
1. The door should open completely. Due to the shoe
rack or furniture behind the door in some of the houses, the
entrance is not able to open completely. In such a situation the
energy is not able to enter in to the house completely. Such house
will have short supply of the required energy, which will lead to a
limited opportunities and poor luck to the occupants. Make sure that
your house open at 90 degree paving way to the energy to circulate
in without hindrance.
2. These house should not have cracking sounds from
hinges on opening of the main door. It is "Swar Vedha" according to
vastu. A sticky door may indicate that something is not working in
your life or that you feel stuck or irritated by something.
3. The entrance area should be neat and clean and
avoid having a dustbin in the entrance
4. Your main door should open in clock wise
direction. Door opening in anti-clock direction causes delay in
work, slow progress and difference of opinion among the family
members.
5. The main door should not have cracks. As per
vasthu sastra it is indeed very inauspicious to have the main door
in an unwelcoming condition.
6. The entrance door of the house should be larger
than the other doors entering the house.
7. When one enters the house, there should not be a
wall in front of the entrance. There should be a door that opens to
the next room or open space immediately after entering in to the
room.
8. Any shadow e.g. shadaow of tree, building etc.
should not fall on the main door.
9. The main door of the house should not be below
ground level.
10. There should not be an underground tank, septic
tank, or canal under the main entrance. There should not be any
abandoned, wrecked buildings in front of the main entrance. Such
situations are highly inauspicious.
11. It is good to decorate a house's entrance with
pictures or statues of Laksmi, Ganesh or auspicious signs such as
OM or the Swastika.
12. Inauspious pictures should not be on the door.
13. Doors should have thresholds preferably mde in
marble or wood. Display two pair of auspicious laxmi steps on both
te side of threshold to invite laxmiji, a goddess of wealth.
14. Shoes should not be kept in front of the door, but
to the side or in the shoe box.
15. Anything connected with your religion, such as a
yantra, a Ganesh idol, a cross or scriptures from the Quran should
be placed above the front door.
It is auspicious to have main entrance in the north or east.
Wherever the entrance of any home or building is in the east, the
residents enjoy better health, increasing prosperity, and harmonious
relations with others; but wherever houses are facing south or south-
west, the opposite is the result.
