Many difficulties or sufferings in various aspects of our lives are the direct result of vastu defects in our residential building or in our office and unfavorable planetary influences in our horoscopes. We might have used colors which are unfavorable to us as per our birth charts/horoscopes. We might be having a puja sthana/place of meditation in a wrong place; we might have a toilet where we should have place of meditation; we might be suffering from loss of sleep due to sleeping in the wrong direction; we might be suffering from health problems due to wrong placements in our kitchen; we might be suffering due to faulty layout of our business premises or factory; we might be suffering due to having the staircase in the wrong place; we might be suffering from stomach problems due to wrong sitting postures in WC/toilet; etc. A common question posed to a Vastu Shastri is whether
a house or a factory or an office constructed as per the Vastu guidelines would be as auspicious for the son and the
grandson as it has been for the person who built that house. The answer invariably
is in the negative. Then the next question arises as to whether Vastu is important or is it only a fashion. We all know that a dwelling unit whether it is a
small house or a royal mansion, is built for protection and for physical, mental
health and spiritual development. The happiness of the individuals depends upon the
planetary periods of the individuals. Therefore, it is not necessary that a dwelling
unit built by a person would be as prosperous and auspicious for his progeny.
The basic components of a dwelling unit are the
building, the passage, the lighting arrangement and its location, besides its maintenance
and cleanliness. The building laws impose many restrictions. The availability
of land as per one's desire and requirement is also not possible in the present
times. The Vastu factor stands modified due to the painting and lighting inside the
house in spite of the basic structure and airy passage remaining the same. The
various planets during their planetary periods create different types of impact on the
outlook of persons in matters of brightness and colors. These indeed change the overall effect of the dwelling unit. Why talk of the son and the grandson when a person may find the same dwelling unit inauspicious even for himself after a few ears. It is important to have maximum benefit of the
dwelling unit, which is derived through the natural inflow of sunlight and air. The
provision for these basic necessities can be made if a house is facing east and its doors
and windows open in the southeast, southwest and western directions.
Following vastu principles duly blended with your horoscope planetary influences will bless you with a peaceful life. Persons living in
a suitable vastu house will be optimistic and energetic. Besides the basic structure, the
light and bright color on the walls and door panels help in mental happiness, which is
possible during the periods of strong and well placed planets like Jupiter, Venus and
Mercury. It will give a hygienic, clean and decorative outlook while the influence
of Rahu may make the man dubious and deceptive in character. He may use dark colors on the walls, corners or candle lights. Saturn in its weak state makes the man feel insecure and he loses trust. As the person's stress is on savings in life, he/she uses dark shades on the walls and door panels to save money on maintenance and this creates a stuffy atmosphere. The result of the maintenance and the shades on the walls and door frames/panels may be different. While the light and bright shades bring in prosperity and enlarge the social circle, dark and stuffy shades isolate the person from society and thrust upon him/her unstable and insecure attitudes in life.
For example, once a gentleman contacted
us about the inordinate delay in the finalization of the marriage of his daughter. A
visit to their house showed that though the house was east-facing, its openings were
on the north-east, north-west and west side and he was using a pretty dark blue shade on
the walls of his drawing room and navy-blue paint on his door panels. Our suggestion
for change of shades on the walls and the door panels helped in an early settlement of the
marriage of his daughter. In another case, a medico who had set up an ultrasound
diagnostic center was not getting clients, resulting in a loss by way of expenses on the
maintenance of fixed assets. During the course of a visit to the clinic, it was found
that the desired space was not provided for in the waiting lounge and instead of the mercury
tube-lights, the lighting was done with incandescent bulbs. The lighting arrangement
with bulbs made the atmosphere a little gloomy and one cannot tolerate this
atmosphere while waiting. Slight modifications of space in the waiting lounge and provision of tube lights resulted in a growing clientele.
A gentleman consulted a Vastu Consultant who was not an astrologer at the time of construction of his house and at the time of moving into the house after construction. The astrologer asked the person to move into the new house on 20th November, 2007. On 20th November, 2007, the sister of the person died and he could not move. He moved to the new house as per advice of the Vastu Consultant on 24th November, 2007. Soon after moving the native started facing problems including health problems to self, wife and daughter. The native started suffering from a spine problem. The native lost his mother in May, 2008. The native lost his mother in law in October, 2008. His daugher also developed the spine problem. His wife developed depresion, suffered from edema, diabetes, over-weight, etc.
Vastu blesses the person when the application of Vastu is blended with the planetary influences in one's horoscope.
VASTU: This is a preventive as well as a curative therapy for solving the problems in physical and spiritual areas. Wider applications of this therapy are in the field of success of professional ventures. This is practiced through the use of proper outlay of a building to derive geo-magnetic forces for properly energizing the total impact of that building with the help of light, air, space and aura conducive to the main function of the environment.
The minimum vastu to be kept in view is:
1. The house should be east facing. Next best is west facing but there should be openings in the east direction, as well. It is better to avoid houses facing south and north. The place of meditation should be in the north east direction;
2. Bedrooms in south and south west;
3. Children's study in north;
4. Kitchen in south east;
5. Stairs in south west;
6. Heavy structures in the house in south west;
7. One should sleep with one's head in the east, south or south west directions;
8. The central place of the residential unit should be empty;
9. There should be openings in the east and west and it would be better if an opening is also in the south direction;
10. If there is an opening only in the south direction it creates conflicts and diseases while the openings only in the north direction stop family prosperity and sometimes even continuity. An opening only in the west direction brings poverty.
11. The place should be properly lit and pastel colors of the functional benefic planets should be used on the walls;
12. The furnishings should be mostly plain or with very little flowery designs. In any case the patterns and designs on the fabric should not be too imposing.
Let me share with you a case study showing how a Vastu Consultant not knowing Astrology can harm a person:
It was at this stage when the native thought of consulting a person who knows astrology and vastu, both. He searched the internet and found out about us.
The chart of the native is shown here. The sign Capricorn rises in the chart of the native. The planets Rahu, Ketu, Jupiter and the Sun are functional malefic planets for the native. The native started the sub period of Saturn from 24th August, 2006, in the main period of Rahu. Saturn is placed in the twelfth house ruling losses and Saturn is under the close affliction of Jupiter ruling the house of losses and expenses.
Since the Vastu consultant did know astrology he could not guide the person on the astrology aspect of the affliction of Jupiter to Saturn in his birth chart. He could not suggest and provide the remedies.
At the time of seeking the consultation from an Astrologer, the transit and natal Jupiter were afflicting closely the sub period lord Saturn, placed in the eighth house. Had his Vastu Consultant been knowledgeable on the Systems' Approach Astrology, he could have benefitted the native.
It is important that one always consults a Vastu Expert who knows astrology, as well.
