In our Vastu Shastra, many precious remedies have been told for the happiness, peace, and prosperity of the house. One of these is keeping a turtle in the house. Turtle is not only known as sacred and calm creature, but it is also considered a symbol of longevity, stability, prosperity, and positive energy. According to Vastu experts, if the turtle is placed in the right direction and made of the right material, then it removes negative energy from the house and maintains good luck, balance, and peace.
Which turtle in which direction
The direction of keeping the turtle has special importance in Vastu Shastra. Only the turtle placed in the right direction gives auspicious results.
Metal Tortoise in the North Direction
According to Vastu Shastra, keeping a tortoise in the North Direction of the house is considered most auspicious. North direction is considered to be the direction of Kubera, the god of wealth. If the tortoise is kept in this direction, it leads to economic progress in the house, the inflow of money remains constant, and mental balance is also maintained among the family members. It also increases family stability and harmony. A tortoise made of brass or any metal is considered best for this direction. It transmits stability, prosperity, and positive energy.
Tortoises suitable for other directions
Tortoises are available in different types of materials such as metal, crystal, wood, or brass. Each material has its significance.
Crystal Tortoise
It can be kept in the South-West Direction. It helps in bringing sweetness in relationships at home and maintaining mental balance.
Wooden Tortoise
Keeping a wooden tortoise in the East Direction is considered auspicious. It brings progress in education and career.
A tortoise kept in water and its direction
If the tortoise is kept in a glass bowl filled with water, then special care should be taken of its direction. Keep it in the North or North-East Direction. The combination of water and tortoise increases positive energy manifold. But keep in mind that you need to keep changing that water from time to time, so that no dirt or negativity spreads in it. Dirty water can have a negative effect.
Other important Vastu rules related to the tortoise
To get the right results, it is very important to keep some other things in mind while keeping the tortoise. The tortoise should always be kept clean and dust-free. If it is kept in water, keep changing the water regularly. A dirty or dusty tortoise attracts negative energy and can have the opposite effect, instead of giving auspicious results.
According to Vastu Shastra, the tortoise should never be kept in the bedroom. This can cause Vastu defects, which can cause mental stress or health problems in the house. Therefore, keep the tortoise near the drawing room, place of worship, or main entrance.
