East Facing House Vastu Kitchen

on

The kitchen should be in the south-east portion of an east facing home or flat as a first choice and unless otherwise a compelling situation arises while designing the home other choices can be considered without damaging the good effects.

The North-west corner is equally can be considered as the second choice. The south (positive) and West (Positive) directions also can be considered as the third choice.
The kitchen is the most important part of a home. The food we prepare in the kitchen determines the healthy living of our body. And more efforts are needed so that the cook feels better with the atmosphere in the kitchen while cooking. Vaastu principles about the kitchen mainly focus on the ambient and ventilation of the kitchen.
Of the Eight Guards of Directions called “Ashtathik Balakars” in the Hindu Mythology, Fire God called as “Agni Deva” is supposed to rule the south-east corner of a home. Fire is the fundamental of the kitchen for the preparation of food. So if the kitchen is placed here the food will be good and tastier.
As per Vaastu, this Fire corner called “Agni Moolai” or ‘Agni Kone’ is not much suitable for any other rooms. If a bedroom is built in this place it will affect the good and peaceful rest because of its natural heat of the Sun. Especially couples who have their bedroom in the south-east corner may not have intimacy and healthy relation.
Natural Sunlight falls exactly in the south-east corner of a place which creates afire energy automatically as per the Hindu Vedic scriptures. So the saint’s advice the kitchens to be built at the south-east corner of a home without fail. The morning Sun rays disinfect the kitchen and make it sterilized, to think scientifically.
The kitchen, if it happens to be in the north-east corner of a house or flat, ruins the income of the family, the children become useless and fool and the family leads to poverty in due course as per our research. Also, the kitchen placed at the south-west corner of the home reduces the income and males living in the home get addicted to all sorts of bad habits. Hence providing a kitchen in the south-west and north-east corners are totally not advised as per the rules of Vasthu Shastra.
The door of the kitchen should be in the north, east or north-east direction opening clockwise. The lady should face east while cooking, for it brings good health to family members. If the lady faces south while cooking it may lead to serious health problems to ladies. The cook facing the west side while cooking is also preferable and acceptable.
