Praying in the Right Direction

As per Vastu, the best direction to face when praying is when you face the North or the East Direction. If you have scope to dedicate a separate place to worship and pray, create that space in the North East Corner of your house or a room. Stand in the center of your house and use compass to find the room which falls in the north east. Then go to this room and find the direction where you should face when worshipping and praying. Place the images and idol in such a way that you are facing North or East when worshipping. The prayer room walls and ceiling should be painted in white (the soothing color)
Before following this simple Vastu principle be cautious about the following:
1. The prayer room should not be used by married couples (having active sex life) as their bed room.
2. The prayer room should not be used by girls past their adolescence or boys who masturbate
3. You should ascertain that any of these principles are not in line with the principles stated in your religion and accordingly take a call based on your beliefs.
God Bless!

Interesting thoughts to ponder.
That's it for me this morning. I've set a limit for myself of reading only 3 of your posts per day until I catch up, leaving room for me to focus on other tasks. I've extracted great value from this morning's experience. Thank you for sharing your knowledge in such a way that's practical and easy to digest.
Looking forward to tomorrow's dose of wisdom.

There are different beliefs and each one has its view on different aspects of Human Life. Different directions for different objectives while praying may be according to a particular belief. Ultimately what works best for an individual is the best belief to believe in.
Vastu is a belief which professes North and East to be the most auspicious directions. The reason is that Sun's energy is most beneficial when it comes from North and East (4 AM to 8 AM approximately) and as per Indian practise, morning is the best time for prayers and devotion to God. Hence these directions are considered best for praying.
I definitely am motivated by your positive comments and look forward to your continued patronage to the blog. Unfortunately due to professional commitments I am unable to write one post a day.
