The upcoming Diwali festival gives me the opportunity to share my understanding of the essence of this beautiful Festival of Lights.

Also sharing Vastu Tips hoping to help make your Diwali brighter, colorful and happier.

My profession & passion gives me the opportunity to understand energy fields of different spaces, understand scriptures to the how and why Ancient Indians followed certain rituals, more important is that how can we apply that to our lives today.

Thus according to me the essence of Diwali is to increase our inner light, lessen the load we carry mentally & emotionally, reach closer to our true being and spread the light that we have lit within. Letting our light spread to our loved ones, our families, friends and people we work with. In that true symbol, we light diyas or lamps in Diwali symbolizing spreading of our love and light around us.

Below have shared some simple Vastu tips that were followed as prescribed by Ancient Indian texts, which can be followed today for overall prosperity and wellbeing

Dhanteras – 2nd November 2021

2. Cleanse all the silver coins you & Gold which you will use for the Dhanteras Puja.

Silver – Simple & effective way to cleanse is Soak silver in a solution of 1/2 cup vinegar and two tablespoons of baking soda for an hour or more. Then rinse clean and dry.
