Vastu/FengShui
Threshold Vastu
Tuesday, 20 May 2008

        A threshold defines the extent of the vastu and prevents insects from entering the room through the gap between the door and the floor .  

             
        
A threshold should be wooden so that the magnetic energy remains within the house .
 

  
        
It prevents the bad outsides elements from entering the house .

                                      Beam The Vastu

              The width and height of beams and columns is determined by the area and size of the vastu . They are thicker than walls and hence protrude outside .Such a protrusion in an otherwise flat surface crests obstacles in the way of energy waves . And leads to instability .


        One should not sleep under the beam as it is very harmful for health . Sitting under the beam leads to unsatisfactory work .  Beams can be covered in a false ceiling and thus a flat surface can be created and defects and adverse effects can be avoided .  If such bam are well decorated then they help in reducing bad energy . If a beam is located at an important place within the house , its bad effects can be removed by using three pyramids . 

             
        
There are a few objects in Feng Shui , which are advantageous to the people residing in the vastu but disadvantageous to the people living outside the vastu . Indian vastushastra believes that the whole universe is one family . So the solution suggested in it are advantageous to everyone .
 

          
         
Many Feng Shui experts are using Swastika , shreeyantra , pyramid etc . No mention of these things is found in the original Feng Shui . There are many who are spreading wrong knowledge about Feng Shui by doing shirt duration courses . There are same traditional entering in vastushastra propagating immediate prosperity and success ,but the analytical mind of people and alertness of the vastu experts kept these traditional away

We spend nearly one third of the day in the  bedroom .The master bedroom should be in the south west corner of the house as laid down in vastushstra .   
                       
The south west direction is the inert of the earth . It means stability and immobility .

Negative Energies And Vastu
Tuesday, 20 May 2008

         There are many types of negative energies we come across in vastu , they are jealousy waves , pitrudosha , evil – spirits and bad – effects due to black – magic . 

     
          
In many house or premises of different utility it has been observed that in spite of all factors favorable and positive the particular task or work do not materialize . Some – one else with same merits able to the work done but the other person not . Similarly in many houses we observe people with undiagnosed health – complaints . These complaints are repeated more often and are helpless . These dwellings exhibit some things different type of pulse and vibrations , sometimes the inhabitants of such houses or premises find themselves more comfortable and happy outside the concern vastu , but the very moment they enter in such vastu , some exceptionally odd experiences they always come across . In many cases with exactly identical dwellings or vastu , both the inhabitants face totally different experience which is astonishing and creating a question – mark of suspicion .
 

   
           
The most astonishing aspect one can find in such vastu or dwellings is presence of abode of deity or spiritual power will always be in a direction other than North – East . In this case it has been confirmed in thousands individual with horoscope or astrological analysis proved with problems related to “Pitrudosha “ or their experience of undiagnosed health and acts of suspicion .
 

    
            
In such case the most important remedy is to restore abode if deity perfectly in North – East and by making use of spiritual Yantras ( mystic designs of spiritual values ) to which we can call as specific energy circuits .  Spiritual rituals , chanting of mantras ( spiritual rhymes ) also improve the situation in positive direction .

The best place for a strong box is southwest . This direction symbolizes stability and it will keep wealth safely . North is the abode of kuber , the protector of the gods wealth and hence a safe in the north is also a good location . If a strong box is kept in southwest or north the door of the safe , when opened , should permit the contents to face northeast .

Importance Of Color in a vastu
Tuesday, 20 May 2008

         Importance Of Color in a vastuThere is an intimate relation between colour and vastu . Sunlight ( white light ) is made up of seven colours , that of a spectrum . All these seven colours are benefices to human life . 


·               The performance of seven yogic charkas is also influenced by respective colours . According to vastushastra the colour to be used in the alight direction are as follows .


·East                      : white
·Northeast             : white , cream , light shades of green
·North                    : white , black , blue , grey
·West                     : red
·Southwest            : pale red , smoky red .

·Southeast             : red in mixed shades
·Brahmatatva         : yellow  

                   
                            Vastu Pulse And Vibation 
 

    
          
A pleasant atmosphere is created automatically when a vastu is built according to established principle .A placement atmosphere keeps a person happy and free from physical and mental ailments . Productivity and creativity increase leading to good performance .

               
         
The most objectionable thing about Feng Shui experts is that they have spread a misconception about vaastushastra that it only adheres to making or breaking . People got attracted to Feng Shui because it does not have such make brisk techniques . There are many solutions in vastushastra for removal of vaastu defect without any structural demolition .
 

              
          
Due to the geographical conditions of China , Feng Shui believes that North – east direction is bad and south – west is auspicious . In Indian vastushastra the north – east direction is auspicious all over the world and south – west is inauspicious .
 


           Because of good atmosphere the three elements in a human body – satva – raj – tam are in harmony and keeps him away from the surrounding adverse effects . Pride is not allowed to manifest itself .

             
      
The following points should be kept in mind for creating a pleasant atmosphere .

 

·Locating the prayer room ( devghar ) in the northeast ( or east ) should be given first priority .


·Prayers should be recited regularly everyday .


·A lamp of pure ghee ( preferably cow’s ghee ) should be lit everyday . A few incense sticks should also be lit .


·The hymns should be uttered in clear and loud voice . This leads to energy waves from the lamp and incense sticks alongwith sound waves of hymns helps to create holy – atmosphere .


·A bell should be rung or a conch shell blown during prayers . This helps purify the atmosphere .


·The Gaytri Mantra or other prayers dedicated to the family gods should be recited regularly .


·While occupying a house ( for thr first time ) a vastushanti ceremony should be performed .


·                          If it is not possible to recite prayers then cassettes of the hymns should be played at regular time intervals .


·                          Festivals should be celebrated according to traditional customs prevalent in the family . The house gets cleaned and there is a new surge of enthusiasm in the house .

Posters and Paintings Vastu
Tuesday, 20 May 2008

          Posters and Paintings Vastu The most important thing to note is that putting up a picture must lead to a pleasant atmosphere in the house . 

       
            
Picture in black color or those showing cruel scenes , storms , ships caught in a storm , starving men and women , etc . which spoil the atmosphere , should not be put up.


            
According to the science of Feng Shui the design of the vastu (premises ) is made keeping in mind the Kuon number with regard to date of birth and business of the head of the family . Thus the epicenter of the design of the premises is an individual . So this science is individual oriented . The other members of the family , their progress , prosperity and health are considered secondary . But Indian vaastushastra is mass oriented . It gives equal justice to all members of the family . There is detailed guidance available in vastushastra regarding directions for old and young alike for their prosperity and good health .


            Feng Shui has been able to receive  world wide acceptance . The credit goes to the marketing that the Westerners have done . Till date we have not aggressively marketed our Indian Vastushastra.There are many who are blindly following Feng Shui without understanding vastu properly.Media also supported and propagated the concept of Feng Shui and was doing injustice to Indian vastushastra . 

 

East to north , including northeast , are good location for landscapes , with green and water bodies but not mountains .

       
East to south , including southeast is a place for solar energy and is therefore pure and auspicious . Pictures in red color , flowers and beautiful but chaste women are good .


·In southwest attractive group photograph or individual photo of alive one is allowed .


·Pictures of high mountains , mountain passes ( but not chasm or valleys or water bodies ) rocks or tall building are good topics for a poster or photograph .


·In case of northwest picture which show blowing winds can be put up for example , birds flying , aircraft , transportation vehicles , telecom musical instruments , feel of fragrance . 

Pictures of Lord Krishna ( young age ) eating curd or couple photo scenes of Lord and Radha are good subjects .


It is always good to put up in any number of posters of flowers . Posters of items meant for sale should be placed in northwest . 


To put up a photograph or picture of our ideal or inspiration dead or alive , on the wall behind our seat as far as possible south to west is beneficial

                              Place of Pets in the House 

          
         
The basic aim of vastushastra is to bring harmony with nature . And , therefore , every person or things should be in its natural form . Dumb animals should not be treated in a manner harmful to them , and we should not make them unhappy for our benefit or amusement .
 

         
          
Dogs , cows , cats , horses , rabbits tied in their stalls , or parrots , peacocks , geese , lovebirds , in their cages , is against the laws of nature . Therefore it is against the principles of vastushastra to keep animals in such a state . Animals are unhygienic and can pollute the atmosphere and thus harmful for health .Dog is a loyal guard and therefore considerable .
 

      
          
Cats must not be kept in the house .
 

   
          
Horse , cow , buffalo , bull are useful animals and it is necessary to keep them in their natural state . Care should be taken to ensure that there is enough light and fresh air in the place where animals are kept .

Septic Tank Vastu
Tuesday, 20 May 2008

        Image The septic tank should be in the west to northwest . The infrared rays in the setting sunrays kill germs and the foul smell is carried away by the westerly breeze . 

         Septic tank in southwest brings ill effects , If in southeast , short circuit , theft , fire etc .can take place . A tank in the northeast increases health problems , leads to financial stagnation and education of children suffers . 


                                            Basement          

          Vastushastra do not permit a basement . Adequate sunlight and air is absent in a basement and thus the atmosphere there is not conducive to human life . 

           
          
A basement in northeast is somewhat permissible .
  


          These days there are many small business run in basements .These may prosper for sometimes but later face difficulties .Basements are good for beer bars , gambling dens , casinos , video – game parlors etc . 

              
          
If there is basements in the entire vastu , then only the one in northeast should be used . And heavy items should be stored in northwest and southwest . Otherwise remedial measures can make it conducive .
    

  
            
A house built according to the Kuon number with regard to date of birth and business of the head of the family may not prove to be fruitful the others and after the death of the head of the family .will the design be changed each time or will that be financially possible easily ? 
 

            Indian vaastushastra pervades the universe.The principles of the vaastushatra are applicable allover the globe .Because Earth – Sky – Water – Fire and – Air these major five elements are the same everywhere,they do not have geographical limitation . The five elements included in Feng Shui are earth , water air , Wood and metal . The sky and fir do not have a place in Feng Shui . According to the Indian vaastushastra  these five elements are self – existent.Nobody can create  them and nor can destroy them . As against this the elements wood and metal originate from our five elements and they merge in them too . They also are perishable like the human being . So they cannot become the one of the main parts of the five elements .
