As soon as the atmosphere of the festival is created, the Bengalis are excited about the goddess. Someone is busy buying clothes. Someone is eager to change the decoration of the house. But the biggest dream comes true when people are able to build their new home at this special time of the year. Stepping into a new dream destination just before the arrival of Puja is undoubtedly one of the best moments of life. According to Vastu experts, a house is not just a brick-and-stone cage. It is the center of family energy and passion. Therefore, before filling the corner of the house with the light of the new lamp, it is very important to take care of the direction of Vastu Shastra. If you don't choose the right time and day, unnecessary trouble may come.
Which day is auspicious for house entry?
Time of day plays the biggest role when entering a new house. According to Shastra, Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are most auspicious for entering a new Vastu. On these days performing the special rites of entry into the household brings prosperity to the householder. Impurity of mind is removed under the influence of positive energy.
On the other hand, Tuesdays, Saturdays and Sundays are not favorable for auspicious deeds like house entry. Many people choose the dark of night to move things for the convenience of the work. But Vastu Shastra says that it is absolutely inappropriate to change residence at night. The holy air of dawn and the Prothom-alo of dawn are symbols of absolute positive energy. So in the presence of sunlight, it is best to enter the house with a lighted lamp in the soft morning light.
Avoid 'Rahukal'
Mere selection of an auspicious day does not end the responsibility. One has to keep an eye on certain times of the day. According to astrology, the main hindrance to any auspicious work is 'Rahukal'. It is imperative to avoid Rahukal before starting important work like house entry. If you do not step on the threshold at the right time following the auspicious moment and timing, unnecessary obstacles can be created in the family life.
Effect of Seasonal Cycle on Vastu
Not all months of the year are equally good for indoors. According to Vastu instructions, these six months are ideal for worshiping new Vastu — Baishakh, Jaishtha, Sravana, Agrahayana, Magha and Phalgun.
On the contrary, in the months of Chaitra, Asadha, Bhadra, Ashwin and Pausha, apart from Pitrapaksha or Kharmas, new houses should be suspended. The time just before the start of the puja falls on the border of Bhadra and Ashwin months. So the final decision should be taken after observing the auspicious time according to the classical rules. If you follow the instructions of Vastu, every day will be spent in happiness and peace of mind in the new address.
