Q: Up to what extends Vaastu helps, directs or controls our life?
Ans: Vaastu is merely a supportive factor whereas the KARMA i.e. our day to day physical efforts have more role to play in our life. Roughly, we get 40% from our Karma, 30% from Vaastu & similarly 30% from our planetary conditions. So it is not enough to build a Vaastu friendly house if we intend to shirk work.

Q: Can Vaastu be associated with other methods like Tantra-mantra, Tarrot Readings, Nakshtras, Rashi, Janam Kundli, Jadu Tona etc.?
Ans: No. Vaastu is a science that explains everything with reference to the directions. It has nothing to do with Astrology, Tantra-Mantra or other similar things. Therefore, talking about Raashi, Grahas, Nakshatras, Tantra-mantra, Kundli, Ridhhi-Sidhhi, Jaap, Jadu-Tona etc. in Vaastu is totally unreasonable, illogical & superstitious. In simpler terms, it is the case of traditional frauds with a motive to exploit the people financially

Q: Can a house built-up in tandem to the stars, Nakshatras, Rashi, Cards, Flying Stars etc. of any particular person like myself, my wife, father, grandfather, mother or grandmother etc.?
Ans: No. Vaastu principles are universal and equally applicable to all. Suppose, you are planning to own a house that matches with your Janam Kundli, Rashi, Stars, Janam Name and Nakshartra. But, it is not necessary that your coming generations would have the same Stars, Rashi, Nakshatras etc. Only professional Vaastu consultants analyze various Vaastu factors and their positive & negative impacts on human beings

Q: I have heard that Vaastu consultants have no other option than to demolish the negative items/ parts of a building. Is it true?
Ans: No. It happened until the advent of Fengshui and Pyramidology. Any experienced Vaastu consultant having a good knowledge of Fengshui and Pyramidology can ward-off negative factors effectively through simple methods without any demolition

Q: Kindly tell us the best way to get the all round benefit from all the expertise linked with Vaastu.
Ans: A wise person gets the house built-up as per the principles of the Vaastu and décor of interiors as per Fengshui. Further, the entire premise of the house is boosted with Pyramid and Home Remedial Science.

Q: How do you proceed or carry-out the Vaastu surveys?
Ans: You can contact me through the website, phone, E-mails or SMS to fix an appointment for a best suited time and date. You are required to give their complete address along with the details of your sites or premises. On the fixed date and time, I personally meet you at your site. You may also meet me at my office after having prior appointment.

I note down the positive & negative factors prevailing in and around the premises after a comprehensive analysis. The process starts from the roof & proceeds further downstairs. If found any negativity, point wise remedies are advised to you. The entire analysis takes about 1 to 2 hours time for small site. However, larger premises may take more time.

Q: What is the right time to get the Vaastu survey done?
Ans: Vaastu survey is not a religious activity, which requires any auspicious day or a special muhoorat etc. You can get your premises surveyed by a Vaastu consultant any time but it is always better to get the advise before buying a plot either for residential purpose or for commercial activities. It assists you in

• Finding out Vaastu friendly plot
• Building the establishment as per Vaastu tenets
• Setting household goods as per Fengshui
• Boosting the establishment through Pyramidology
• Incorporating all “to do” and “not to do” factors for home remedies in time

However, one can also get the existing, already built-up or old house surveyed from Vaastu angle so that a perfect combination of Vaastu, Fengshui, Pyramidology & Home Remedies may help to put efforts to divert or ward-off the negative vibrations & one may get multiple comforts from Vaastu. Even, in multi-storey apartments, where dislocation of even a single thing is neither feasible nor practically possible, one can get benefits of Vaastu. But ensure that the Vaastu consultant is a well qualified, experienced & known Vaastu, Fengshui and Pyramidology expert otherwise one may be left with no-solution and unnecessary tensions.

Q: What is the basis, logic & history behind Vasthu-sastra?
Ans: Vaastu Shastra is one of the traditional science of town planning and architecture. In Sanskrit, vastu means house and sastra means instruction. Vaastu Shastra deals with all aspects of designing and building houses. Vaastu harmonizes physical and metaphysical forces as well as the the flow of energy (Prana in Sanskrit) through the house.

It also determines directions for various objects like rooms, doors, windows, kitchen etc. The principles of Vaastu Shastra extend from the macro level to the micro level right from site selection and planning till orientation. Vastu has been categorised into four segments, which include the following:

• The earth - Bhoomi
• The structures on the earth - Prasada
• Movable objects - Yaana
• Furniture- Sayana

Q: What are the major Components of Vaastu Shastra?
Ans: Vaastu principles are applicable to individual residential houses, industry, educational institutions, commercial complexes, theaters, hospitals, churches etc. Vaastu provides with the knowledge to be adopted in building a house so as to make the native happy, healthy and prosperous.

In modern times, the house building technologies have been branched off into special fields such as architecture, engineering and Interior decoration. Architecture deals with the Internal comfort and external beauty, whereas civil engineering deals with the structural stability.

Q: What are the Basics of Vastu?
Ans: The theory of five elements:-Vaastu is the ancient science of house building that combines all the five elements of nature and balances them with the man and the material to enhance health, wealth, prosperity and happiness. The five basic elements comprise of Earth, Water, Air, Fire and Space. There is an invisible and constant relation among all these five elements.

EARTH (Bhumi):- Earth is a big magnet with north and south poles as centers of attractions. It has magnetic field and gravitational force that considerably affects every living and non-living thing on the Earth

WATER (Jala) :- Water is vital for the all living beings and ecological system. It forms part of every plant and animal

AIR (Vayu):- Air is supporting element of life. Human physical comfort values are directly dependent on correct humidity, air flow, temperature of air, air pressure, air composition etc.

FIRE (Agni):- It represents light and heat. The energy, enthusiasm, passion and vigour are all because of light and heat.

SPACE (Aakasha):- It is the shelter provider to all the above elements

Q: What is “Vaastu Purusha Mandala”?
Ans: The Vaastu Purusha Mandala is an indispensable part of Vaastu Shastra and constitutes the mathematical and diagrammatic basis for generating design. Purusha refers to energy, power, soul or cosmic man. Mandala is the generic name for any plan or chart, which represents the cosmos metaphysically. Vaastu Purusha Mandala is the metaphysical plan of a building that also incorporates the course of the heavenly bodies and supernatural forces.

Q: What are the types & properties of MANDALA?
Ans: The form of the Vaastu Purusha Mandala is basically a square but there are various types of mandalas depending on the way in which the basic square is divided. In each case, the square is subdivided into smaller squares by lines running parallel or perpendicular to the sides.

Each side of the square can be divided from 1 to 32 divisions. Thus, the number of squares in the Vaastu Purusha Mandala may vary from 1, 4, 16 and so on up to 1024. Each of these mandalas has a distinct name and is used in specific contexts.

As mentioned earlier, the central area in all mandalas is the Brahmasthana. The space occupied by it varies in different mandalas. The most important mandalas are the Manduka/ Chandita Mandala of 64 squares and the Paramasaayika Mandala of 81 squares.

The normal position of the Vaastu Purusha- head in Northeast, legs in Southwest. However, in the Manduka Mandala the Vaastu Purusha is depicted with head towards East and feet towards West.

Mandala in site planning and architecture
The mandala is put to use in site-planning and architecture through a process called the Pada Vinyasa. Pada Vinyasa is a method whereby any site can be divided into grids or padas. Depending on the position of the Gods occupying the various modules, the zoning of the site and disposition of functions in a building are decided

Mandala and site
A site of any shape can be divided using the Pada Vinyasa. Sites are known by the number of divisions on each side.

Mandala and building
The concept of sakala and nishkala are applied in buildings appropriately. In accordance with the position occupied by the Gods in the mandala, guidelines are given for zoning of site and distribution of rooms in a building.

Q: What is House Grid?
Ans: As per Vaastu , a home is manushyalaya or "human temple." The "open courtyard" system of house design is followed since ancient times. The order introduced into the "built space" accounts for the creation of spiritual ambiance required for the owner to enjoy spiritual well-being and material welfare and prosperity.

The space occupied by the central squares is called Brahmasthanam. It should be kept unbuilt and open to the sky so as to have contact with the outer space. This central courtyard is likened to the lungs of the human body. Religious and cultural events can be held here such as yajna, marriage etc.

The row of squares surrounding the Brahmasthanam is the walkway. The corner spaces are rooms with specific purposes. The northeast quarter is called Isana, the southeast Agni, the southwest Niruthi and northwest Vayu. Those spaces (quarters) are assigned as follows

• Northeast for the home shrine
• Southeast for the kitchen
• Southwest for master bedroom
• Northwest for the storage of grains.

Q: What are the Aspects of environment and energy in Vaastu?
Ans: Vaastu Shastra describes various criteria that determine the choice of a site. The most exalted shape for a site is square, however rectangle is also acceptable. For each site, soil examination or Bhu-pariksha is carried out by digging of a hole in the soil and refilling it again with the dug soil. Based on the volume occupied by this soil in the pit, its characteristics are determined. .

Vaastu Shastra prescribes desirable characteristics for sites and buildings based on flow of energy. Many of the rules are attributed to cosmological considerations such as the sun's path, the rotation of the earth, magnetic field etc.

The morning sun is considered especially beneficial and purifying and hence the east is a treasured direction. Sleeping in the north is considered harmful due to earth's strong magnetic lines of forces emerging from north.

Energy is considered as emanating from the northeast corner. Therefore, sites sloping down towards north or east from higher levels of south and west are considered good. Levels and height of buildings are to be higher in the south and west when compared to the north and east.

The southwest corner is to be the highest, followed by southeast, northwest and northeast. Sites having a longer east-west axis and extended northeast corner are considered better.

Conclusion
Vaastu Shastra evolved as a compilation of planning principles for a healthy living based on the knowledge base of the time (similar to Western treatises such as Vitruvius') and was not meant to be absolute. Its current popularity stems from its focus on a wholesome approach to space and form. Vastu was earlier used in the design of Hindu homes, but became less prominent in the industrialization period during and following the colonial British Raj. But it is used extensively in temple design, and so survived in the clans of temple designers and architects. In recent years, it has again gained mainstream popularity, and there are several Vastu 'consultants' in India, some dubious, some genuine. Vasthu is a subject of perfect science. Vasthu Energy levels of any construction/ structures or any enclosed area (like vacant land)can be measured and inferences drawn.By using LECHER ANTENNA JUDICIOUSLY,conclusions can be arrived at as to whether a place predominantly possess POSITIVE ENERGY or NEGATIVE VIBRATION. Genuine Vastu consultants are from this clan. Astrology has no place in the realm of Vaasthu. Those who mingle astrology with vaasthu are dubious 'consultants'
