Temples are a source of spiritual energy, but living right in front of a temple often causes an imbalance in the energies of your house and thus is known as a Vastu dosh. While it might seem ideal to live near a temple, the constant flow of spiritual energy can overwhelm the delicate balance required for a peaceful living space.
According to Vastu Shastra, residences should be built in order to balance personal and universal energies. With the high spiritual vibrations coming out of a temple, positioning your apartment just across could never let this balance take place. This can manifest as restlessness, difficulty focusing, or even strained relationships. Besides, the shadow that a temple casts, especially on the main entrance or the living room, is considered ominous since it acts as a hindrance to the natural flow of positivity inside a house.
But there are ways to reduce these effects. Placing plants or a screen in the balcony facing the temple, using Vastu-specific remedies like hanging a protective Yantra, or ensuring privacy within your home can help restore balance. With thoughtful measures, you can enjoy the serenity of living near a temple while maintaining harmony in your space.
