With the use of vastu shastra, you can attract positive energy, make money and even improve your relationships. Jai Madaan shares facts related with popular symbols like Mandarin ducks, laughing Buddha and elephants
Vastu shastra, the ancient practice of construction or architecture, has made its presence felt in most houses. You may call it a fad, trend or whim but people who have faith in practices like vastu shastra and feng shui are shelling out huge sums. These corrective measures are believed to bring prosperity and good luck. Every interior object in your home and in your surrounding space, whether it is a painting, photograph, sculpture or home appliance, conveys a message to your sub-conscious mind. This forms the very basis for space programming through usage of paintings, symbols and other art objects in ancient palaces, temples and homes since ages.
Major problem people face these days are in relationships. Through right placement of objects you can convey the desired message to manifest your desires. So, before deciding to buy an interior object, it is very important to decide the right direction to keep it in your home or work place. For example, if you place a kissing couple’s sculpture or painting in south-west, you are unknowingly programming your space to attract romance in your marriage. Similarly, a pair of Mandarin ducks positioned in the home is very auspicious for love, romance and happy marriage. To be kept in the southwest of the bedroom or living room. They are love enhancers and are the most potent symbol of marital bliss. If your service or product is not accepted or appreciated by people then you feel interruptions in the flow of money. With vastu you can find the reasons why the world is rejecting your services or products. As soon as you place a water fountain in north of your home or work and beautiful globe between north and northwest, your products or services not only become attractive, they are also readily accepted by people. There is an exponential growth of cash. That stage onwards money starts flowing in regularly. Similarly lack of confidence also leads to development of fearful attitude while dealing with the world outside. This puts others in a dilemma whether they should go ahead and work with you or not. By improving self confidence you remove this factor also. lack of confidence also allows people to dominate you all the time. You are not able to keep your point of view and end up working against your consciousness always due to influence of others. To overcome these situations place a statue of brass lion in between south and south east for creating power and confidence in a balanced state. Another common problem that people face is that at home and workplace, their efforts are neither recognised nor appreciated in spite of putting in all the efforts, physical and mental presence and money resources. So whenever you find that you do not achieve enough recognition for all the effort you are making then you need to place lot of red flowers or paintings of red flowers and fruits in south of your home or workplace, you start realising, within four-six weeks that people are appreciating you and your fame and recognition is growing day by day.
Did you know since ancient times, vastu tools have been employed to control the behaviour of people living on a particular landIJ Vastu experts in the past had found the secrets of human behaviour, which, in turn, was found to be directly related with the earth energies and the energy fields created in a built up structure. About 2,000 years ago statues of Buddha were established in Afghanistan, specifically, to control the unrest in that land. You can see how an uncontrollable, restlessness got developed in the land again since those statues were destroyed. If you observe globally then there are certain places on earth where modern developments have disturbed age old peace. If you want to invite peace and happiness keep a portrait or a showpiece of fish and dolphins in the north or between northeast and east of house, office, shops. It is good for financial gains.
laughing Buddha or happy man is regarded as one of the gods of wealth. It brings prosperity, success and financial gains in the house. The location of placing the laughing Buddha is very important. The energy that enters the house from the main door is greeted by laughing Buddha and the energy is activated and turns highly prosperous. It is to be placed on a side or a corner table which is diagonally opposite to front door and facing the main door. One important thing to remember is that laughing Buddha should be in sitting position because we want stability in wealth and prosperity. Another object is elephant made with silver. It should be placed in the southeast corner facing the main door. It attracts good energies with trunks up in the air. It also welcomes the goddess of wealth. Vastu is yoga for the home or office.
