Tortoise for Long Life and Prosperity
April 7th 2010 21:18
Tortoise has great significance both in Vastu and in Feng Shui. In most of the Indian temples you will find a tortoise figurine sculpted on the ground towards the center or in front of the Shiva Linga. Tortoise as creature has a long life and hence it denotes Long Life in Feng Shui and Vastu. By virtue of this symbolism Tortoise as a figurine made out of Resins, Mud, Metal or wood can be found in all homes who believe in the tenets of Vastu and Feng Shui.
When placing a tortoise in your house or workplace few Vastu rules should be followed and they are enumerated below for the benefit of my readers:
- Tortoise made of earthern material like mud or resin should be placed in the North East, Center or South West
- Those made of metals should be placed in North and North West
- Tortoise figurines made of crystal should be placed in South west or north-west
- Figurines of tortoise made of wood should be placed in East or South East
Irrespective of where you place the tortoise figurine in your home or workplace it should always have its face towards the East Direction.
You can also place a tortoise family in the living space of your home to increase family harmony.

This type of Tortoise is called family turtle. It is best kept at home for harmonious relationship.
Place in the living room in a corner table next to the furniture.

I bought a family turtle made of clay. For good health where should I keep it and must it face the main entrance door? For now I've kept it in my home office on a shelf behind me (south direction) and facing the main door. Please advice.
Thanks,
Eli

For specifics it will require a proper consultation which is a paid service. You may keep it as suggested in this article.
Open mouth of the turtle is OK.
