Origin & Story

Rig Veda, Mandala 7, Sukta 54 (Vastoshpati Sukta); used in Griha Pravesh and Vastu Shanti rituals · Rishi Vasishtha (Vedic seer) · Vedic (ancient)

The Vastoshpati Sukta of the Rig Veda is a prayer to the guardian spirit of the homestead. In later tradition this deity is identified with the Vastu Purusha — born, according to the Matsya and other Puranas, when a great being arising from Shiva's perspiration (or from a slain demon) was pinned face-down to the earth by the gods, who each took their place upon his body. Pleased, the gods granted that he would forever preside over dwellings, and that whoever honoured him with the Vastu Shanti before building or entering a home would prosper. These Vedic verses remain the heart of that ceremony, invoking the lord of the dwelling for protection and abundance.

✦ As told in scripture

Tradition holds that a home consecrated with the Vastu Shanti homa and these verses is shielded from misfortune and disease, its Vastu doshas pacified, so that wealth, health and harmony grow within it as a father's care nurtures his children.

How to Chant Vastu Shanti Mantra (Vastospate)

Repetitions3times

Best TimeAt Griha Pravesh (housewarming) and during the Vastu Shanti homa, on an auspicious muhurta

This mantra is central to the Vastu Shanti ritual, usually performed by a priest as part of a homa (fire offering) before or just after first entering a new home on an auspicious day. The residents sit facing the sacred fire; the Vastoshpati mantras are recited (often with ghee offerings into the fire) to consecrate the four directions and the Vastu Purusha presiding over the plot. Devotees may also chant it themselves three or more times, with a lamp lit, while sprinkling consecrated water in the rooms, praying for peace and prosperity in the household.
