Unique Janmashtami Vastu Ideas by Rinhee Suberwal for Peace, Prosperity & Devotion

Janmashtami, the sacred celebration of Lord Krishna’s birth, is a time when devotion, festivity, and spirituality merge into one. Beyond traditional flower decorations and rangoli, astrologer, crystal healer, numerologist, and tarot reader Rinhee Suberwal suggests adding a layer of Vastu energy to transform homes into channels of peace, prosperity, and divine blessings.

Rinhee emphasizes that the Krishna Jhula should not merely be decorative, but a true source of sacred energy. According to her, choosing materials like wood for grounding, silver for purity, and gold for abundance elevates its significance. Placing the Jhula in the North-East corner of the home, with the idol facing East or West, allows divine vibrations to flow freely.

The morpankh (peacock feather), a timeless symbol of beauty and protection, holds a special place in her remedies. Rinhee advises placing one feather on the Jhula and four in each direction of the house, symbolically creating a circle of blessings. She also shares unique flute remedies: donating a silver flute in a temple, tying two flutes upside down to ease family disputes, or crossing two flutes to correct Vastu doshas.

To amplify positivity, she recommends hanging brass or copper bells near the Jhula. Their gentle chimes purify the environment, while a silver or copper bowl with water and rose petals brings emotional balance. Devotees can also decorate with fruit garlands—grapes, berries, or jamun—which not only honor Krishna’s love for fruits but also symbolize abundance.

Rinhee introduces another powerful practice: during the aarti, devotees should briefly turn in all four directions after offering it to Krishna, symbolically spreading blessings throughout the home. She also suggests lighting two ghee diyas—one in the pooja room for prosperity and one at the entrance for protection.

On Janmashtami, prasad can be prepared in three portions: one for Krishna, one for guests, and one for birds or animals the next morning, striking a balance between devotion, community, and nature. Placing butter-filled matkis near the Jhula is also a sweet tribute to Krishna’s childhood leelas.

Finally, midnight—the sacred moment of Krishna’s birth—is considered the most powerful. Rinhee encourages devotees to ring bells, break a coconut, and offer a fresh garland to the idol at that very moment. “Your prayers are at their most powerful then,” she reminds with a smile.

This year, her Vastu-guided remedies provide a fresh perspective on celebrating Janmashtami, ensuring not just devotion but also harmony, protection, and abundance within the home.
