I FEEL FORTUNATE TO HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK IN FRONT OF YOU AND HOPE IN FUTURE TOO WE HAVE MAY PLENTY OF OCCASIONS TO CREATE LIVELY AND MOST MEANINGFUL DIALOG.

I AM GLAD TO INFORM YOU THAT THE SCIENCE OF AESTHETIC ARCHITECTURE I.E. VASTU-SHASTRA, OF WHICH I HAVE BEEN A DEVOTED STUDENT AND STAUNCH FOLLOWER SINCE 1994, HAS VIGOROUSLY INSPIRED ME TO SERVE THE PEOPLE BY SPREADING THE POTENTIAL KNOWLEDGE OF THIS FACULTY, MAKING THE PEOPLE AWARE ABOUT ITS ADVANTAGES AND DISCUSSING THE HIDDEN TREASURE OF THIS VAST SUBJECT THROUGH SPEECHES, SEMINARS AND MEDIA.

VASTU SHASTRA CURRENT POPULARITY STEMS FROM ITS FOCUS ON A HOLISTIC APPROACH TO SPACE AND FORM. VASTU WAS EARLIER USED IN THE DESIGN OF HINDU HOMES, BUT BECAME LESS PROMINENT IN MOUGHUL ERA, THEN IN THE INDUSTRIALIZATION PERIOD DURING AND FOLLOWING THE COLONIAL BRITISH RAJ. BUT, SINCE IT WAS USED EXTENSIVELY IN TEMPLE DESIGN, HENCE IT SURVIVED IN THE CLANS OF TEMPLE DESIGNERS AND ARCHITECTS. IN RECENT YEARS, IT HAS AGAIN GAINED MAINSTREAM POPULARITY,

IT ALWAYS PROVES BENEFICIAL TO USE THE KNOWLEDGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH TIME, PLACE, AND CIRCUMSTANCES. WE GET TO SEE SUCH INSTRUCTIONS IN ALMOST ALL THE ANCIENT SCRIPTS AVAILABLE TODAY ON MOST WELL-REGARDED INDIAN SCIENCES - ASTROLOGY, AYURVEDA, YOGA, AND VAASTU. COMPILED THOUSANDS OF YEARS BACK, MOST OF THEM ARE STILL LOOKED TO FOR GUIDANCE TO GET THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS OF LIFE.

VASTU IS AN INTRIGUING SUBJECT, BUT OFTEN MISINTERPRETED. A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE IT AS A SYSTEM GENERATED THROUGH RIGID, ILLOGICAL RELIGIOUS THINKING OF THE PREHISTORIC TIMES. HOWEVER, THE TRUTH IS, VASTU SHASTRA IS AN ANCIENT SCIENCE OF ARCHITECTURE WHOSE TENETS HAVE A VERY STRONG SOCIOLOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC BASIS.

INTRODUCTION

VASTU SHASTRA IS THE SCIENCE OF DESIGNING BUILDINGS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF NATURE. THESE LAWS STATE THAT THE BALANCE OF THE FIVE ELEMENTS MUST BE MAINTAINED IN ORDER FOR BENEFICIAL ENERGY TO ENHANCE YOUR ENVIRONMENT. THIS SCIENCE DATES BACK ABOUT 7,000 TO 10,000 YEARS WHEN IT WAS WRITTEN IN AN ANCIENT TEXTS CALLED THE VEDAS.

VAASTU IS A TRADITIONAL INDIAN THEORY OF ARCHITECTURE THAT GUIDES THE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF ALL KINDS OF STRUCTURE.

EVERY LIVING AND NON-LIVING THING ON THIS COSMOS GIVES OUT ENERGY EFFECTING THE LIVES IN DIFFERENT WAYS. SCIENCE OF ARCHITECTURE WHICH IS PRECISELY CALLED VASTU-SHASTRA GIVES AWAY NORMS OF PLACEMENT FOR EVERYTHING RELATIVE TO THIS EARTH

WHAT IS VASTU SHASTRA?

NATURE CONSISTS OF FIVE BASIC ELEMENTS. YOUR OWN BODY IS MADE UP OF THESE ELEMENTS: (1) AIR (YOU BREATH AIR) (2) FIRE (YOUR BODY TEMPERATURE)  (3)  WATER (4) EARTH( YOUR BODY'S MINERALS)  (5) AND MOST IMPORTANTLY COSMIC ENERGY ( ENERGY OF PLANETS). WHEN WE SYNCHRONIZE OUR PLACE OF BUSINESS AND RESIDENCE WITH NATURE'S ENERGIES, OUR PERSONAL LOCATION BECOMES A DYNAMIC LOCATION, IN ORDER FOR NATURE TO RELEASE POSITIVE ENERGY TO BENEFIT US. OTHERWISE, THOSE ENERGIES FIGHT WITHIN EACH OTHER THUS CREATING AN ASTRONOMICAL AMOUNT OF STATIC AND TENSION IN YOUR PLACE OF BUSINESS OR HOME. THE RESULT IS ONE OF WHICH THERE ARE MORE ARGUMENTS, MORE STAFF TURNOVER, WORKERS' UNREST, MORE ACCIDENTS, CUSTOMER DISSATISFACTION, LEGAL PROBLEMS AND SO ON. VAASTU HARMONIZES ONES LIFE WITH NATURE, ALLOWING ONE TO UNFOLD TO THEIR OPTIMUM POTENTIAL.

HOW DOES VASTU SHASTRA HELP US?

IF THE FIVE ELEMENTS ARE BALANCED AND ALL OBSTRUCTIONS TO LIFE-SUPPORTING ENERGY ARE REMOVED YOU WILL RECEIVE THE MAXIMUM LIFE ENHANCING ENERGY AND SUPPORT OF NATURE, WHICH WILL ASSIST YOU IN UNFOLDING YOUR FULL POTENTIAL. YOU WILL HAVE MORE OPPORTUNITIES AND YOUR THINKING WILL BE CLEAR TO ACT ON THEM IN THE PROPER TIME. YOU ARE A UNIVERSE WITHIN A UNIVERSE.

THE OBJECT OF VASTUSHASTRA IS TO PROVIDE GUIDELINES FOR PROPER CONSTRUCTION OF HOUSES, SHOPS, COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS ETC. VASTU DETERMINES THE POSITION OF THE HOUSE WITH REGARD TO POINTS OF A COMPASS AND DICTATES THE PROPORTIONS OF EVERY DETAIL IN BUILDING, LINES, DIRECTIONS, SKYLINES, ELONGATIONS, LEVELS, SLOPES, WATER (UNDERGROUND AND OVERHEAD), KITCHEN, BEDROOMS, TOILETS, STAIRCASE, HEIGHTS OF CEILINGS AND ROOFS, ENTRANCES, LOCATION OF DOORS AND WINDOWS, COMPOUND WALLS AND SO ON.

DID YOU NOTICE THAT YOUR BODY FEELS DIFFERENT WITHIN DIFFERENT PLACES? THE MORE YOUR PLACE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH NATURE, THE BETTER THE ATOMS IN YOUR BODY RECEIVE THE ENERGY, AND THUS THEY DO NOT HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO GET THE ENERGY REQUIRED. THEREFORE, YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE EXTRA ENERGY TO THINK AND WORK WELL. THAT IS THE REASON WHY THE CHANGE OF THE DESIGN OF THE LOCATION TO THE RIGHT LOCATION ALWAYS HELPS TO IMPROVE BUSINESS. FOR EXAMPLE, WHEN A SHOPPER IS LOCATED IN A PLEASANT ENVIRONMENT, THERE IS LESS RESISTANCE WITHIN THAT SHOPPER TO BUY ANYTHING. IF THE SHOPPER WERE LOCATED IN AN UNPLEASANT ENVIRONMENT, THEN THE SHOPPER WOULD ONLY THINK ABOUT LEAVING AND WOULD HAVE PLENTY OF RESISTANCE.

WHY SHOULD WE USE VASTU?WHAT IS THE MAIN OBJECT OF VASTU SHASTRA?

TAKE FOR EXAMPLE, ON A VERY COLD NIGHT YOU SIT NEAR THE FIRE. THERE, YOU WILL FEEL COZY AND COMFORTABLE. INSTEAD, THINK OF YOURSELF SITTING ON THE FIRE! THE ELEMENTS OF YOU AND FIRE ARE STILL THE SAME BUT THE PLACEMENT OF YOUR BODY MAKES THE COMFORTABLE SITUATION INTO A SERIOUS SITUATION. THEREFORE, A WRONGLY PLACED SWIMMING POOL, KITCHEN OR ELECTRICAL PANEL CAN CREATE A LOT OF PROBLEMS TO YOUR FAMILY AND BUSINESS. UNFORTUNATELY, YOUR INNOCENT EYES MAY NOT NOTICE THESE KINDS OF MISMATCHED PLACEMENTS OF THOSE FIVE BASIC NATURAL ENERGIES AND THAT IS THE REASON YOU NEED TO TRY VASTU SHASTRA.

WHY SOME PEOPLE FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE WHILE WALKING INTO A HOME FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND OTHERS ENJOY COMING BACK TO HOME. MOST OF US ARE NOT AWARE OF THE IMPACTS OF OUR SURROUNDINGS ON US. OFTEN WE KNOW THAT THERE IS DISHARMONY, STRESS, DISCONTENT, ARGUMENTS, BUT HOW MANY OF US REALIZE THAT THE UNDERLYING CAUSES COULD COME FROM OUR ENVIRONMENT. VASTU CAN PLAY A HUGE ROLE IN INCREASING THE QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE. IT HAS THE ABILITY TO DIRECTLY AFFECT YOUR MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND FINANCIAL STATE. HENCE, COMPLIANCE WITH THIS ANCIENT SCIENCE OF ARCHITECTURE IS A SENSIBLE IDEA

WHY SHOULD WE USE VASTU? WHAT IS THE MAIN OBJECT OF VASTU SHASTRA?

VAASTU CONSULTATION COULD BE VERY HELPFUL IF YOU ARE PURCHASING OR RENTING A HOUSE, OR DESIGNING A HOME. IT IS ESPECIALLY RECOMMENDED IF YOU ARE FACING PROBLEMS AND HURDLES IN LIFE, OR IF THERE IS LACK OF HARMONY AT HOME OR WORK.

IT IS BEST TO PRACTICE VASTU WHEN PURCHASING OR RENTING AN OFFICE, HOUSE, APARTMENT OR LOT AND WHEN DESIGNING A HOME. YOU CAN ALSO USE VASTU FOR ANY EXISTING STRUCTURE OR WHEN YOU ARE FACING PROBLEMS AT HOME OR WORK.

THE CONCEPT OF VASTU YIELDS IMPECCABLE RESULTS IN THE FORM OF PEACE, PROSPERITY AND PEACE BECAUSE THIS INQUISITIVE SCIENCE IS BASED ON FIVE ELEMENTS AND EIGHT COSMIC DIRECTIONS RESPONSIBLE FOR LIFE. VASTU FOLLOWS SOME SET OF PRINCIPLE IN ORDER FETCH PEACE AND PROSPERITY AND POSITIVITY. THE PRINCIPLES AND NORMS OF VASTU ARE ALL SAME FOR KIND OF CONSTRUCTION SUCH AS COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AND REVOLVE AROUND FIVE GOVERNING ELEMENTS OR PANCHBHOOTAS AND RULING DIRECTIONS.

WHEN DO I NEED A VASTU CONSULTATION?

EARTH (BHUMI) - EARTH, THE THIRD PLANET IN ORDER FROM THE SUN, IS A BIG MAGNET WITH NORTH AND SOUTH POLES AS CENTERS OF ATTRACTIONS. ITS MAGNETIC FIELD AND GRAVITATIONAL FORCE HAS CONSIDERABLE EFFECTS ON EVERYTHING ON THE EARTH, LIVING AND NON-LIVING.

WATER (JALA) - THIS IS REPRESENTED BY RAIN, RIVER, SEA AND IS IN THE FORM OF LIQUID, SOLID (ICE) AND GAS (STEAM, CLOUD). IT FORMS PART OF EVERY PLANT AND ANIMAL. OUR BLOOD IS MOSTLY WATER.

AIR (VAYU) - AS A LIFE SUPPORTING ELEMENT, AIR IS A VERY POWERFUL LIFE SOURCE. HUMAN PHYSICAL COMFORT VALUES ARE DIRECTLY AND SENSITIVELY DEPENDENT ON CORRECT HUMIDITY, AIR FLOW, TEMPERATURE OF AIR, AIR PRESSURE, AIR COMPOSITION AND ITS CONTENT.

FIRE (AGNI) - REPRESENTS LIGHT AND HEAT WHICH ACCOUNT FOR DAY, NIGHT, THE SEASONS, ENERGY, ENTHUSIASM, PASSION AND VIGOUR.

SPACE (AKASHA) - THE AKASH PROVIDES SHELTER TO ALL THE ABOVE ELEMENTS. IT IS ALSO CONSIDERED THE PRIMARY CONDUCTOR OF ALL ENERGY SOURCES WITHIN THE UNIVERSAL CONTEXT - PHYSICAL ENERGIES SUCH AS SOUND AND LIGHT, SOCIAL ENERGIES SUCH AS PSYCHOLOGICAL AND EMOTIONAL, AND COGNITIVE ENERGIES SUCH AS INTELLECT AND INTUITION.

THERE IS AN INVISIBLE AND CONSTANT RELATION BETWEEN ALL THE FIVE ELEMENTS. THUS, THE PERSON CAN IMPROVE THEIR CONDITIONS BY PROPERLY DESIGNING THEIR BUILDINGS BY UNDERSTANDING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF THESE FIVE NATURAL FORCES. VAASTU SHASTRA COMBINES ALL THE FIVE ELEMENTS OF NATURE AND BALANCES THEM WITH THE PERSON AND THE MATERIAL. IT TAKES ADVANTAGE OF THE BENEFITS BESTOWED BY THE FIVE ELEMENTS OF NATURE TO CREATE A CONGENIAL LIVING AND WORKING ENVIRONMENT THEREBY FACILITATING SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING AND PAVING THE WAY FOR ENHANCED HEALTH, WEALTH, PROSPERITY AND HAPPINESS.

:FIVE ELEMENTS

THE MAJOR FACTORS THAT SHOULD BE KEPT IN MIND WHILE SELECTING A PLOT ARE GEOGRAPHICAL SURROUNDINGS, LEVEL OF THE LAND, AND ROADS AROUND THE PLOT. A PLOT IS SQUARE IF ALL FOUR SIDES ARE STRAIGHT AND EQUAL IN LENGTH AND IT HAS EQUAL ANGLE OF 90 DEGREE AT ALL FOUR CORNERS. SQUARE IS THE BEST SHAPE OF A PLOT. A PLOT IS RECTANGULAR IF IT HAS FOUR STRAIGHT SIDES AND EQUAL ANGLES OF 90 DEGREE AT ALL CORNERS WITH OPPOSITE SIDES OF EQUAL LENGTH. A RECTANGULAR PLOT HAVING ITS LENGTH NOT MORE THAN DOUBLE THE BREADTH (LENGTH AND BREADTH NOT MORE THAT 1:2) IS A VERY GOOD PLOT.

WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE TO BE KEPT IN MIND WHILE SELECTING A PLOT?

LOCATION OF THE BUILDING ON THE PLOT ENTRANCE FROM THE PLOT OPENSPACES LANDSCAPING. SWIMMING POOLS, MAKING OF BOUNDARY WALLS. TWO SIDES: VIZ. SOUTH & WEST TREE PLANTATION

BUILDING PLANING:

SQUARE OR A RECTANGLE BUILDING CENTRE OPEN TO SKY STAIRCASE AREA KITCHEN LAUNDRY D.G/TRANSFORMER CHIMMNEY / BOILERS PCC CENTRAL – AIRCONDITIONING, STORAGE ETC.. SEPTIC TANKS OVERHEAD TANKS UNDERGROUND TANKS GUEST RECEPTION

DESIGNING OF HOTEL BUILDING AS PER VASTU NORMS:

BED DIRECTION BATHROOM DIRECTION W.C DIRECTION FLOORINGS CEILINGS CUPBOARD PLACEMENT WRITING TABLE A COMPLETE VASTU COMPLIANT PRESIDENTIAL SUITE.

HOTEL GUEST ROOM DESIGNING:

YES, THE COLOURS IN ONES HOME OR LANDSCAPE SHOULD BE COORDINATED WITH THE COLORS OF THE RESPECTIVE PLANETS AND ELEMENTS ASSOCIATED WITH DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. DOING THIS WILL ENHANCE THE ENERGY FLOW AROUND YOU.

CREATIVE IDEAS: USE FIVE ELEMENTS OF VASTU FOR PAINTINGS ETC.

ELECTRIC LIGHTS: PREFERED LIGHTING YELLOW

DO COLORS PLAY A ROLE IN VASTU?

THE SCIENCE OF VAASTU IS UNIVERSAL, AND THE BASIC PRINCIPLES ARE APPLICABLE TO ALL TYPES OF BUILDINGS. SOME SPECIFIC POINTS TO KEEP IN MIND FOR COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS ARE INVENTORY SHOULD IDEALLY BE PLACED IN THE NORTHWEST SECTOR TO FACILITATE FASTER MOVEMENT; EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE PLACED MORE TO THE SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHEAST SIDES; CHEMICALS SHOULD BE STORED UNDERGROUND IN THE NORTHEAST.

HOW CAN VASTU BE APPLIED TO COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL PREMISES?

THE PRINCIPLES OF VASTU ARE BASED ON ENERGY FLOW AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF ELEMENTS. THESE FACTORS ARE UNIFORM THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. HOWEVER, IN DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATIONS THE BUILDING COULD BE DESIGNED T ACCOMMODATE VARIOUS CLIMATIC CONDITIONS WHILE PRESERVING GOOD VASTU.

ARE VASTU PRINCIPLES UNIFORM THROUGHOUT THE WORLD?

EVEN WHERE THERE IS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE, THE ANSWER IS YES. THE BASIC PRINCIPLES OF BALANCING THE FIVE ELEMENTS APPLY THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. BY USING THE PRINCIPLES OF THIS SCIENCE, BUILDINGS CAN BE DESIGNED TO HARMONIZE WITH THE DIFFERENT CLIMATIC CONDITIONS OF EACH REGION.

ARE THE PRINCIPLES OF VASTA APPLICABLE IN DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS AROUND THE WORLD?

A: VASTU SHASTRA IS A SCIENCE AND COMES FROM THE VEDIC INSTITUTION IN INDIA LIKE YOG SCIENCE. VASTU SHASTRA IS BASED ON UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES OF PLANETARY FORCES AND ITS ELEMENTS. RELIGION IS BASED ON AN INDIVIDUALS BELIEF. RELIGION PLAYS NO ROLE IN VASTU. VASTU IS BASED ON UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES OF PLANETARY FORCES ELEMENTS. RELIGION IS BASED ON AN INDIVIDUALS BELIEF.

VASTU SHASTRA IS A SCIENCE AND COMES FROM THE VEDIC TRADITION IN INDIA LIKE YOGA AND MEDITATION. LIKE THESE PRACTICES, THE HEALTH ENHANCING, LIFE-GIVING BENEFITS OF VASTU SHASTRA STAND ON THEIR OWN.

MYTHS & DOUBTS ABOUT VASTU-SHASTRA:Q: IS VASTU SHASTRA ASSOCIATED WITH ANY RELIGION?

A: WELL HONESTLY NOTHING LIKE THIS WILL EVER HAPPEN IN THIS WORLD OF GOD. YES THERE WILL BE SOME DIS ADVANTAGES, BUT IT DOES’NT MEAN END OF THE WORLD. IT IS LIKE THIS IF YOU ARE PRAYING TO GOD DAILY IT GIVES YOU PEACE OF MIND AND AN FEELING OF CONTENTMENT, BUT MANY WHO DO NOT PRAY DAILY, DOESN’T MEAN THEY WILL BE PUNISHED BY GOD. LIKE IF YOU SEE CHAIN E-MAILS OR CHAIN SMS ASKING YOU TO IMMEDIATELY FORWARD THEM, OTHERWISE GOD WILL BE ANGRY OR AN BAD THING WILL HAPPEN TO YOU, BUT HONESTLY ONLY THE MOBILE COMPANY IS BENEFITED AND TILL DATE I HAVE NOT FORWARDED ANY SMS OR CHAIN EMAIL AND NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED. LIKEWISE NOT ADOPTING VASTU WILL HAVE NO ILL EFFECTS. BUT YES, IF YOU ADOPT YOU MAY TEND TO GAIN MORE POSITIVE BENEFITS THAT THIS SCIENCE HAS TO OFFER.

Q: IF WE DON’T ADOPT VASTU SHASTRA, DOES IT MEANS IS IT A BAD OMEN OR HARMFUL?

A: NO. VASTU IS A STRUCTURAL SCIENCE AND NO SIGNIFICANCE OF ANY INDIVIDUAL OR THE OWNER OF THE HOUSE IS REQUIRED FOR THIS MATTER. THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT SCIENCE AND THEY HAVE THEIR OWN IMPORTANCE.

Q: SHOULD A HOROSCOPE BE MATCHED FOR BUYING A HOUSE?

A: THE PRINCIPLES AND NORMS OF VASTU ARE ALL SAME FOR KIND OF CONSTRUCTION SUCH AS COMMERCIAL, RESIDENTIAL AND INDUSTRIAL AND REVOLVE AROUND FIVE GOVERNING ELEMENTS OR PANCHBHOOTAS [EARTH, WATER, AIR, FIRE & SPACE] AND RULING DIRECTIONS NORTH, SOUTH, EAST & WEST].

Q. IS THERE A DIFFERENT VASTU FOR HOME OR OFFICE OR INDUSTRY.

A: YES, I HAVE BEEN ANSWERING THIS QUESTION IN MANY CASES. BUT BASIC FUNDAMENTALS DO NOT CHANGE, WHOEVER IS THE EXPERT. AS THIS SCIENCE WAS NOT PRACTISED FOR A VERY LONG PERIOD AND IT LOST ITS BEST TEACHERS WITH TIME. FORTUNATELY FEW EXPERTS IN THE ANCIENT LANGUAGE AND RENOWNED RISHIS/ GURUS, RESTARTED THIS GOOD WORK OF TEACHING AND PRACTISCING VASTU-SHASTRA. AS THEY THOUGHT IN THEIR OWN NATIVE OR ORTHODOX METHOD AND THE INTERPRETATION OF EACH STUDENT WAS THE REASON ON DIFFERENT VERSIONS. VASTU IS AN FASCINATING SUBJECT, BUT OFTEN MISINTERPRETED. A LOT OF PEOPLE TAKE IT AS A SYSTEM GENERATED THROUGH RIGID, ILLOGICAL RELIGIOUS THINKING OF THE PREHISTORIC TIMES. HOWEVER, THE TRUTH IS, VASTU SHASTRA IS AN ANCIENT SCIENCE OF ARCHITECTURE WHOSE VIEWS HAVE A VERY STRONG SOCIOLOGICAL AND SCIENTIFIC BASIS. THE FACT IS THAT THE ORIGINAL SCRIPT OF VASTU HAS BEEN LOST AND THE AVAILABLE MODERN TEXT IS GOOD COMPILATION, MOSTLY BASED ON RELIABLE INTERPRETATION.

WHY IS THERE A DIFFERENT VERSION OF DIFFERENT VASTU CONSULTANT/ EXPERTS?

A: VAASTU PRINCIPLES AFFECT YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE LIVING, RENTAL OR OWNED.

HOW DOES VASTU AFFECT ME IF I AM LIVING IN A RENTAL ACCOMMODATION?

YOU ALSO EVEN KEEP GOD IN ANY PART OF YOUR HOUSE/ WORKPLACE, SINCE GOD IS PRAISED AS NIRAAKAAR, NIRGUNA, AND SARVA-ANTARYAAMI WHICH MEANS HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY SPECIFIC SHAPE, HAVE BOUNDLESS QUALITIES AND HE EXISTS EVERYWHERE. WHEN WE QUESTION WHERE IS GOD? YOU WILL GIVE ANSWER CONFIDENTLY HE IS PRESENT ALL OVER.

PLACE FOR GOD IS IN NORTH-EAST?

A: ANOTHER MYTH. BIRTH AND DEATH IS IN NO ONE’S HAND. NOBODY CAN CONTROL OR DICTATE ITS TIMINGS. IT IS IN OUR DESTINY.

Q.IF TOILET COMES IN NORTHEAST/ SOUTH-WEST IS IT TRUE THAT IT LEADS TO DEATH OF PERSON IN FAMILY?

A: IF, FOR EXAMPLE, YOUR ELECTRICAL FAN IS NOT WORKING, YOU WILL CALL AN ELECTRICIAN RATHER THAN PRAYING TO GOD. VAASTU IS SCIENCE RELATED TO GEO ENERGIES, SO DOING ALL THIS TO REMOVE DEFECTS IS NOTHING BUT WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME.

Q: CAN VAASTU DEFECT CAN BE CORRECTED BY PERFORMING POOJA, YAGAS ETC.?

A: DUE TO THE LOW LEVEL OF ENERGY, BASEMENTS ARE IDEALLY NOT GOOD FOR LIVING BUT IF ONE CAN CREATE & ENHANCE THE ENERGY LEVEL WITH THE HELP OF LIGHTING, PROPER VENTILATION & AIR CONDITIONING ETC; THE SAME CAN BE USED AS A WORKING AREA.

Q:ARE BASEMENTS NOT GOOD FOR LIVING OR WORKING?

THE CITY DWARAKA (THE PRESENT DAY DWARAKA IS SITUATED IN WEST COASTAL AREA OF GUJARATH STATE IN INDIA) WAS BUILT BY ONE OF THE CHIEF ARCHITECT VISWA KARMA ACCORDING TO VAASTHU PRINCIPLES. . AFTER THE DISCOVERY OF ANCIENT GREAT CITY DWARAKA UNDER THE SEA BY HISTORIANS, THE EPIC BECAME HISTORY TODAY. THE HISTORIANS EXPLORED THE CITY UNDER THE SEA, AND FOUND LARGE FORTS, DWELLINGS AND BUILDINGS WITH LARGE STONE GIRDERS (UNIMAGINABLE SIZES) AND COINS.

A VERY INTERESTING CASE STUDY DONE BY VASTU EXPERTS:CITY OF DWARKA:

TAJ MAHAL, DESIGNERS VERY ARTFULLY USED VASTU SHASTRA. THIS IS ONLY A SUPPOSITION AND IS NOT INTENDED TO HURT ANY SENTIMENT…”

TAJ MAHAL IS NOT JUST ONE OF THE SEVEN WONDERS OF THE WORLD BUT ALSO A GREAT EXAMPLE OF INFLUENCES PERSIAN AND HINDU ARCHITECTURE HAD ON ONE ANOTHER. IT IS BELIEVED THAT TAJ MAY HAVE BEEN BUILT IN AGREEMENT WITH VASTU NORMS, MAKING IT STURDIER AND HELPING IT STAND THE TEST OF TIME. TO THE NORTH OF THIS GREAT MONUMENT RUNS YAMUNA (A RIVER) AND IT FLOWS FROM THE WEST TO EAST. THIS IS EXCELLENT ACCORDING TO VASTU.

ALSO, IF YOU’VE EVER SEEN TAJ MAHAL YOU WILL FIND THAT ITS ARCHITECTURE HAS STRONG TRACES OF VASTU SHASTRA. THE WIDTH OF THE MONUMENT EQUALS ITS HEIGHT. IN FACT, IF YOU USE A MEASURING TAPE, YOU’LL SEE THAT THE BUILDING’S WIDTH AND LENGTH ARE PRECISELY THE SAME AS ITS HEIGHT. CONSCIOUSLY OR UNCONSCIOUSLY, THE DESIGNER DID FOLLOW THE MOST BASIC VAASTU PRINCIPLES.

THE BIGGEST POSSIBILITY OF TAJ MAHAL BEING BUILT ON VASTU NORMS IS THE FACT THAT JAHANGIR’S AND SHAH JAHAN’S MOTHERS WERE HINDUS. IN CASE OF SHAH JAHAN, HIS MOTHER WAS THE DAUGHTER OF RAJA UDAY SINGH (FROM MARWAR) AND JAHANGIR’S MOTHER WAS FROM THE ROYAL FAMILY OF AMBER. BOTH THESE AREAS, AMBER AND MARWAR, ARE KNOWN TO BE GREATLY INFLUENCED BY VAASTU SHASTRA.

VASTU EXPERTS ALSO BELIEVE THAT TAJ MAHAL NEVER BROUGHT BAD LUCK TO SHAH JAHAN (AS THOUGHT BY MANY PEOPLE); INSTEAD IT WAS THE BLACK MARBLE MONUMENT HE TRIED TO CREATE ACROSS THE RIVER TO TAJ WHICH WAS THE REASON FOR HIS IMPRISONMENT AND DOWNFALL. THIS MONUMENT COULD NEVER GET COMPLETED BECAUSE ITS LOCATION CARRIED A CURSE FROM THE VAASTU VIEWPOINT. TO ITS SOUTH RAN YAMUNA, AND THE LAND SLOPING TOWARDS SOUTH FROM A BUILDING BRINGS IN DISASTERS.

ANOTHER FEATURE THAT IS AN EXAMPLE OF VAASTU’S INFLUENCE ON THE TAJ MAHAL IS THE FACT THAT THE MONUMENT HAS THREE BASIC SHAPES –AN OCTAGON, A SQUARE, AND A CIRCLE. THE FOUR GUEST-ROOMS IN TAJ ARE OCTAGONAL AT CERTAIN PLACES. THE FLOOR OF THE MONUMENT IS A SQUARE. HOWEVER, THE DOME IS A CIRCLE. THESE SHAPES REPRESENT THE HOLY TRINITY.

WORLD FAMOUS TIRUPATI TEMPLE IS FOUND ADHERING TO THE PRINCIPLES OF VASTU SHILPA SHASTRA. ITS PROSPERITY LEGENDARY THANKS MAINLY TO THE EXEMPLARY IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF VASTU SHASTRA. THE MAIN TEMPLE IS SITUATED ON THE SOUTH - WEST SIDE OF THE TEMPLE COMPLEX. ON ITS NORTH - EAST DIRECTION IS A LAKE AND POND. THE DINING HALL OF THE TEMPLE IS ON SOUTH-EAST SIDE WHILE THE NORTH-WEST AND NORTH SIDE OF THE TEMPLE IS ALLOCATED TO THE GODOWN FOR GRAINS AND ITEMS REQUIRE IN THE KITCHEN. THE ENTIRE TEMPLE COMPLEX IS OF SQUARE SHAPE AS A RESULT OF WHICH ITS AXIS AND THAT OF THE EARTH ARE PERPENDICULAR TO EACH OTHER. THE MAIN TEMPLE IS OCCUPYING ONLY THE ONE FOURTH AREA OF THE TOTAL AREA AND ON ITS EASTERN AND NORTHERN SIDE IS OPEN AREA. THUS THE TIRUPATI TEMPLE OF LORD BALAJI IS AN IDEAL PLACE ACCORDING TO THE NORMS OF VASTU SHASTRA WHICH IS WHY IT IS THE MOST PROSPEROUS TEMPLE ON THE EARTH.

A VERY INTERESTING CASE STUDY DONE BY VASTU EXPERTS:FAMOUS TIRUPATI TEMPLE:

MUMBAI CITY: MUMBAI HAS WATER TO ITS NORTH-EAST. ALL MAJOR LAKES AND DRINKING WATER SOURCES ARE

LOCATED TO THE NORTH-EAST OF MUMBAI. IT HAS AN ATOMIC POWER PLANT REPRESENTING AGNI(FIRE) IN THE SOUTH-EAST OF MUMBAI. FIRE IS A KEY ELEMENT IN PROSPERITY OF ANY VASTU LOCATION. MUMBAI HAS ARABIAN SEA TO THE WEST WHICH IS A   PERFECT LOCATION FOR VAYU(WIND). SO MANY VASTU SHASTRA FACTORS ARE IN FAVOR OF MUMBAI CITY PLANNING. THIS HAS MADE IT A VERY DEVELOPED AND A RICH CITY THAT WE ALL KNOW.

VASTU SHASTRA IS A BLESSING OF NATURE AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED IN RIGHT SENSE AND SPIRIT. FOR THOSE WHO BELIVE IN VASTU-SHASTRA NO EXPLAINATION IS NECESSARY, SIMILARLY FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN IT NO EXPLAINATION IS POSSIBLE.

CONCLUSION:
