Description and guidelines for all the
processes right from the selection of
site to construction of the building,
and of orientation of various rooms in
directions, height of the rooms, positions
of the doors etc. is found in Vaastu Shastra.
Graha Pravesh
(i.e. first entry into the newly built
house) is also as important aspect of
Vaastu-Shastra and it has to be dealt
with here in this book. After the house
is complete in all respects, living in
that house is started at some auspicious
moment determined on astrological considerations.
The first entry in the house at the auspicious
moment is called Graha Pravesh ceremony.
Three types of Graha Pravesh have been
mentioned in the scriptures -
(1) Apoorva
- First entry to live in house
newly constructed on a newly selected
land is called Apoorva (new) Graha Pravesh.
(2) Sapoorva
- Entry into an already existing
house to live in it after traveling abroad
or migration elsewhere, is called Sapoorva
graha pravesh.
(3) Dwandwah
- Entry into a house to live in
it after reconstruction/renovation of
the house damaged by fire, flood waters,
electricity, wind etc. is termed as Dwandwah
(or old) Graha Pravesh.
Scriptures have described the procedures
of Graha Pravesh at auspicious time (muhurat)
and purity (defectless) of Panchang. For
Apoorva Graha Pravesh perfect auspicious
time should be adhered to and fro Graha
Pravesh in a reconstructed house or after
migration the purity of Panchang should
be given consideration.
If the doors of a house are not fitted
with shutters, or the roof is not covered,
or the God, Vaastu have not been worshipped
and offered sacrifices, and if the priests
etc. have not been offered feast, first
entry into such house (Graha Pravesh)
should not be accomplished till the above
things are completed, otherwise living
in that house will be full of troubles
and miseries. Therefore living in a house
should be started only after offering
sacrifices and worshipping Vaastu as per
procedure given in scriptures.
Entry into a house
built of grass and leaves etc. may be
performed on any auspicious day. In houses
built with bricks, stone, mud, cement
etc. the first entry is auspicious when
the sun is Uttarayan.
As far as possible Graha Pravesh should
be accomplished in the day only, it will
be auspicious. Normally, it can be done
at any auspicious moment in the day or
night. Guru (Jupiter) or Shukra (Venus)
being set (invisible) i.e. Tara does not
matter in case of Graha Pravesh in a old
renovated house.
For the ceremony of giving food to a
child for the first time (Anna Prashan),
wearing new clothes, daily travels, first
entry into an old renovated house and
entry of a bride in the house, invisibility
(setting) of Jupiter (Guru) and Venus
(Shukra) i.e. Tara should not be considered,
only the purity and auspiciousness of
the Panchang should be considered in such
cases. Auspicious months for Graha Pravesh
and the results of the same are as given
below -
Month- Results
Magh- Gain of wealth
Falgun- Gain of children and wealth
Baishakh- Growth of wealth and prosperity
Jeshtha- Gain of son and cattle.
Besides these, the months of Kartik and
Margshirsh give medium results. Graha
Pravesh in the months of Ashadh, Shravan,
Bhadrapad, Ashwin Paush is inauspicious
and causes loss, troubles and pains, and
fear of enemies.
The tithies (dates) 4/9/14 and 30 (Amavas
- no moon night) should be avoided and
Graha Pravesh should not be done on Tuesdays
