ody ~ VAASTU
here is an intrinsic order and harmony
in nature. Everything in
nature has an appropriate proportion
and rhythm that endows it not only
with grace and beauty but also a perfect
co-ordination in its working with
everything else in nature. This principle
of absolute harmony and consonance
in the universe is the governing
principle of the science of Vaastu.
Disturb this harmony and chaos will
result. This is as true for man-made cre-
violating the law of nature in your home or
workplace result in disharmony, but these
can be corrected without expensive
restructuring through the use of
yantras and other devices

HARMONY in your
HOME
ations as it is for natural entities. Violate
the law of nature in your home or place
of work, and you end up with disharmony.
Pay heed and you will find harmony
and peace, and its natural
consequences – happiness and prosperity,
not to mention good health and
well-being due to the positive, vital
vibrations called bio-energy promoted
in the building.
It is a misconception that Vaastu is
the science of designing structures in
accordance with local environment like
prevailing wind conditions and other
weather patterns to achieve ideal lighting
and temperature within the building.
The fact is Vaastu is a result of
understanding the role of the five basic
elements in nature, namely earth, water,
fire, air and space in generating and regulating
cosmic energies. It also explains
how a harmonious co-existence of all
these elements in a building promotes
not only our physical, mental and spir-

itual well-being but also helps us actualise
our true potential.
The power of Vaastu
Through metaphysics, modern science
now validates the truth in these principles.
Evidence collected by physicists
through research in the field of geobiology
(aka exobiology – the branch of
biology studying the effects of extraterrestrial
environments on living organisms
on earth) reveals that a tree, a piece
of rock, a single cell – every single form
of matter – vibrates with its own unique
wavelength. The animating force that
makes it pulsate is the unseen spirit, the
energy contained in every matter. In a
human being, it is represented by the soul
that animates our physical body. In the
universe, it is the divine cosmic energies
that permeate all matter – every single
element in the physical world. It naturally
follows that vibration exists in our
buildings, our home and workplace, just
as it exists within us.Vaastu aims to maintain
and even enhance the positive vibrations
and block out the negative ones,
thus making the building’s vibration resonate
and harmonise with the surrounding
environment and the vibration of
its inhabitants. A Vaastu building
channelises the positive cosmic
energies to flow into it.
While it is easy to follow
the principles of Vaastu
when building your home
or workplace, even with the
constraints within a big city
(you can reap most of the
benefits even if you achieve
50 per cent of Vaastu compliance),
what about buildings
that have not followed
Vaastu principles? Other than
demolishing and rebuilding or at
least relocating the inappropriate
parts of the building, is there
an easy way out? The answer is
an emphatic yes according to a new
adjunct to Vaastu.
At the heart of this new approach is
the finding that – again culled from
ancient writings – blockages in the flow
of positive cosmic energies in a building
could be removed and harmony
established in its vibrations
by various means
using different sets of
tools. The means
employed derive from
feng shui, pyramid vaastu,
dousing and energy auditing,
chanting and incantation
and invoking specific cosmic
energies using powerful symbolic
tools called yantras.
Feng shui to the
rescue
Feng shui, the ancient Chinese
system considered a natural science,
helps to balance the energy
flow in an environment,
enabling you to transform your house
into an energetic, healthy and a harmonious
place. The idea is to understand
how energy moves in our surroundings
and how to harness it.
Chinese scholars recognised ‘life
energy’, or chi, as the main component
in the living world, and by ensuring
a proper flow of chi in the environment,
through feng shui,
they discovered that the imbalances
created by wrong locations,
orientations and
other defects could be rectified.
They created formulae
to understand the
forces of nature by analyzing
chi components and
identifying missing elements.
Using feng shui, they
could counteract these imbalances,
which resulted in a
healthy chi, or ‘life force’, that
enriched life and brought harmony
and happiness. Says
Aditya Narayan, feng shui
expert from Jayanagar 5th Block,
Bengaluru, “All feng shui articles like
convex and concave mirrors, crystals,
metallic icons, and wind chimes are
appropriately used in this process to
deflect negative energies and
attract positive ones to a
premises. These powerful
symbols act by
neutralising the energy
defects in a building
and promoting
positive vibes.”
How pyramids help
Pyramid vaastu, on the
other hand, harnesses the
power of pyramids to meet
this end. Dr. Dhara Bhatt in
her book, Pyramid Vaastu,
says, “The unmanifested
energy is continuously
transformed into shapes.
Shapes are working boundaries
of different energies. The
pyramid interacts with the universal
energy in six directions, the four sides,
the base and the apex. Pyramid is like
the microprocessor of all universal
energy.” Pyramidology is a vast subject
encompassing not just its power in
channelling energies but its beneficial
effects in other areas of life, like its
power to enhance nutritional value of
food, enhance our well-being, cure ailments,
neutralise bad effects, aid in
meditation, not to mentions its rejuvenating
effect on plants and animals. To
quote again from Dr. Dhara Bhatt’s
book,“Pyramids work on all seven levels
of human systems – physical, ether-

ic, astral, lower mind, higher mind, soul
and spirit.” Pyramids find wide application
in Vaastu, offering a simple
method for correction. Ramaprasad, an
advocate from Bengaluru and a trained
pranic healer, uses this powerful medium
in his work. Says he,“Pyramids can
shift rooms virtually or improve shape
energy. The approach is the same as in
feng shui but the methodology is different.
I use pyramid yantras to help
correct Vaastu defects, to correct
disharmony in a building and
derive optimum benefits.”
Douse away negativities
Dousing is yet another
method used to determine
the energy balance of a
place. Just as it is
used in divining
underground
water and minerals,
this simple
technique can also
reveal energy levels, especially
negative energies in a building.
Nanda Kumar, a pranic healer and
diviner from Malleshwaram,
Bengaluru, uses dousing to first determine
the interplay of positive and negative
energies in a premises before
neutralising the negative ones. Using
powerful incantations also called
mantras and then using a different set
of hymns and chants performed mostly
away from the target building
enhances its positive vibrations. Says
he, “By this method not only Vaastu
defects but also strong negative energies
generated within a premises due to
geopathic lines passing under it, or
those generated by ill will
from people
20
with evil intentions or other similar
causes like sorcery are revealed.” He
uses powerful mantras to first neutralise
these harmful energies and then uses
other appropriate set of chants along
with pranic feng shui articles to bring
in positive energies. He further enlightens,“The
unseen forces that work within
the individual and in his
environment are amenable to influences
from these sound-units or
mantras. The energies of the individual
or, for that matter, a building are
enhanced, corrected and rendered
effective by the employment of
the mantra.” It may unsettle
you to find this one-time
geologist pinpoint the exact
locations of concealed vortexes
of negative energies in a
premises by just dousing its
floor plan on a piece of
paper and then neutralising
the same, sitting
miles away, all without
even a glimpse of the target
building. But when you hear his
numerous satisfied clients, your scepticism
is likely to turn into admiration.
Shoaib, the sole breadwinner of his
family, with three unmarried sisters,
was struggling with his tottering plywood
business, when, on a chance
meeting, he discussed his woes with
Nanda Kumar. The Vaastu defects in his
home and shop were corrected and
soon, his life took a complete turnaround.
According to him, “The
improvements have been almost dramatic.”
What’s more, within a year his
three sisters were married!
And finally, yantras
The opening lines of the book, Yantras,
by SK Ramachandra Rao goes thus,“The
use of mystical designs and magical diagrams,
known as yantras, is of great
antiquity…” Indeed these ancient
tools, essentially designs and
inscriptions marked or etched on
small, mostly square metallic plates,

then energised
using methods
written down in
the scriptures,
which confer
magical powers
on them, are
used extensively
for correction
of Vaastu
defects by
practitioners
like Dr Sham Sundar. A one-time veterinarian,
he says yantras are visual representations
of the energies, forces and
vectors that operate within an individual
at the abstract level – part of the universal
consciousness.According to him, every
yantra is a self-sufficient, self-contained,
complete and closed realm with magical
powers to facilitate the movement
of energies in the desired directions.
They are fixed on walls, ceilings, doors
and windows, any place where inappropriate
energy lines create negative
vortexes. “The yantra has the power
to virtually alter room sizes, shift
rooms to their correct locations, and in
fact alter the floor plan itself – all at an
astral, energy level. ”
Manu Nichani, one of his numerous
clients, has this to say, “I started
feeling the changes almost immediately.
My business picked up, domestic
life smoothened out, and there was
an all-round improvement in all areas
of my life.”
These novel developments may perhaps
confound you, but quite obviously,
they produce results, and clearly,
provide an effective and affordable solution
if you find yourself troubled by what
you suspect to be either defective Vaastu
or other indiscernible causes. ☯
