Graha
Pravesh (i.e. first entry into the newly built house) is
a very important aspect of Vaastu-Shastra and it has to
be dealt accordingly. After the house is complete in all
respects, living in that house is to be 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 our ancient 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 (defect less) 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 due consideration. If the doors of a house are not
fitted with shutters, or the roof is not covered, or the
gods of 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 Gods 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
