One thing that is common in the luxurious houses of India is the red colored LPG gas cylinder kept in the corner of the kitchen. It is such a common sight that hardly anyone would ask why it is always red.
But in the last few days, this simple sample has suddenly come into discussion. Due to the escalating Iran-Israel war in West Asia, which has created turmoil in the market.
Oil rigs are unstable, concerns remain over gas supplies and energy experts are warning of a crisis. At such a time, people’s eyes are again turning to the red circle which is present in the kitchen of every house.
Interestingly, behind this red color lies not just an industrial rule, but a deep connection between science, security, astrological symbols and global energy politics.
The real scientific reason for the red controversy
First of all, talk about science.
LPG i.e. Liquefied Petroleum Gas is a highly flammable gas. Therefore the gas industry around the world has created a color code system for safety. According to this system the electrons of flammable gases are colored red. There are three main reasons behind this:
primary reason: Danger signal. Red color signals immediate warning in the human brain. This is why:
- fire extinguisher
- furious
- emergency warning sign
- Often remain red in color.
Second reason: Visible from a distance. Red color has longer wavelength. Therefore it is decorative, blurry and easily visible even in low light.
Third reason: International Safety Standards. In the gas industry, different colors have been prescribed for different gases.
| gas | Colour |
| cooking gas | Red |
| ing | white |
| Other | Black |
| carbon dioxide | gray |
The purpose of this arrangement is that it is possible to identify the gas by simply seeing the color. In astrology, there is a relation between red color and fire. In Indian culture red color is not just a sign of warning. It is considered a symbol of energy and fire element. According to Vedic Astrology:
- Mars is the factor of fire element
- The color of Mars is considered red
- Red color represents power and energy
- This is why in the Indian tradition:
- red color at wedding
- red clothes in puja
The signs associated with Mars are especially important. The place of fire has also been mentioned in the kitchen scriptures. Therefore, some astrologers believe that the gas stove present in the kitchen and the modern form of fire element present in the kitchen.
Kitchen and fire element in Vastu Shastra
According to Vastu, the direction of the kitchen is important to maintain energy balance in the house. The most auspicious direction becomes the gem. Igneous angle (south-east direction), this direction is considered to be the direction of fire element. According to Vastu Shastra:
- Gas stove should be in the direction of fire
- It is considered auspicious to face east while cooking.
- By doing this positive energy remains in the house.
Iran–Israel war and energy crisis
At present the world’s biggest energy tension is going on in West Asia. The oil and gas market has become unstable due to increasing tensions between Iran and Israel. The biggest concern is about the Strait of Hormuz. This is the sea route through which about 20 percent of the world’s oil is supplied. If tension in this area has increased:
- Oil prices may increase
- Gas supply may be affected
- Global energy marketing could be unsustainable
This situation can be especially convenient for an energy untouched country like India. What could be the impact on gas supply in India? India is one of the world’s largest producers of LPG cooking gas. According to energy experts, domestic LPG supply in the country is normal, but if the crisis increases in West Asia:
- gas production plant
- pressure on supply
- sales in the energy market
can be assessed. Constables are placed observers on the situation in the government and oil industry. In astrology, Mars is considered the planet of war and energy.
There may be an increase in the influence and influence of Saturn and Rahu. When the fire element is active, more energy related incidents are seen. Although this approach is based on faith, energy and fire have always been associated with spiritual power in Indian tradition. The red gas mixture kept in the kitchen is not just a household item. There are three different types of colors:
- Science: Safety Signs of Flammable Gas
- Astrology: Symbol of Mars and Fire Element
- Geopolitics: Classification of the global energy market
And today, when the world is witnessing the disaster of energy crisis due to Iran-Israel war, then this Lal Gang reminds us that even kitchen fire is sometimes linked to world politics.
