- The Vedic culture was very much in tune with nature and fundamental elements of creation. Did you know the number of directions and their significance as per the Vedic teachings?
In this short vlog, I've explored the cardinal and ordinal directions as described in the Vedas.
Have a blessed day 🙏
Below are the Sanskrit and English versions of the Mantras for these directions:
East
पूर्वदले ॐ इन्द्राय नमः। pūrvadale om̐ indrāya namaḥ |
South-East
आग्नेयदले ॐ अग्नये नमः। āgneyadale om̐ agnaye namaḥ |
South
दक्षिणदले ॐ यमाय नमः। dakṣiṇadale om̐ yamāya namaḥ |
South-West
नैॠत्यदले ॐ निॠर्तये नमः। naiṝtrtyadale om̐ niṝrtaye namaḥ |

Beneficial & practical knowledge. I do Agnihotra brother & do follow the direction for my seating arrangement in Ishanam. And I've seen amazing results when we are tuned totally. Thank you for your lucid explanation.
Thank you so much, so well explained. Thank you. 🙏❤️
Namaste. Excellent video. What are you chanting at 2:57, 3:43, 5:58, 6:33, 8:49, 10:16, 11:42, 12:57, 16:15? Are these invocations? Should they be chanted at the beginning of a meditation?
These are chants saluting the energies in the different directions.. You could chant them before meditation.
@@KYGYoga I really appreciate your response. Do you have a typed out version of these chants? Or is there a particular name for these chants so that I could look it up? I would like to learn more.

Wow! Another eye opener! You never cease to amaze with these revelations that are an integral part of our daily lives yet we are so oblivious to their significance. Thank you for drawing my attention to these 🙏🙏🙏.
Thank you. The Vedas are full of such amazing revelations. I am only the messenger :)
Namaste Sunder! Appreciate these educational Vlogs very much! Some new and others reminders! Thanks.
Thank you . It’s thought provoking . Now at least I understand what’s happening.👏🏻👏🏻👍
Your Vlogs are so interesting and such an eye opener. You are just full of knowledge; we are so fortunate and blessed.Thank you!
Thank you.. I'm merely passing on the Vedic wisdom that connects us all in Love and Oneness 🙏🏼
Namaste Sunderji, Appreciate your time and effort to educate us significance of directions. I have experienced ill effects of placing the alter in South East, subsequently a Pundit from India visited our house advised us to move alter to North East, then on I noticed positive changes manifest in our life. Houses are build to suit building code and size and shape of land. Vastu / directions may not be considered. We just use the provided spaces to suit us without any knowledge of effects of directions, especially, our work stations, beds, alters, cooking stove..!! Thank you for the knowledge share it is indeed very valuable information.
Simple, vivid and well explained.
