The only good thing of these
products that one can learn from is how fertile a mind can get in terms of
creativity and in some cases their unique marketing skills. Some of them
actually land up making a good amount of money as there is no dirt of gullible
believers.
In my experience I have seen
that people want instant results, which may always not be forthcoming. The
results depend on slew of factors of which some are even beyond the control of
the learned Astrologer or Vastu Shastra consultant. One needs to be realistic
and reasonable in his or her expectations from the remedies suggested.
Sincerely hoping that this Blog has cleared the air in regards to these so called magical remedies.
Unlike
many of my colleagues who would insist on having a Bore Well dug “only in
the Northeast corner of the plot” under the consideration, I
personally function otherwise.
One
needs to be pragmatic along with adhering to well established Vastu Shastra
norms. Though the Northeast corner is the most popular position for the
placement of the Boring or the Underground Water Tank, the ancient scriptures
have mentioned of other equally appropriate directions where one can place a
Bore Well. Like for instance you can have the same in the center North, East
and the West directions too.
However,
it is equally important to take into consideration the fact that you are not
supposed to have a Bore Well made on the Rajju, Konasutra, Karnaresha,
Shira, Vamsa, Nadi and other such sensitive points in the plot even if you
place the Bore Well in the directions mentioned earlier. You will need to be
careful in order to balance both the placement of the Bore Well along with
ensuring that you do not violate any of these highly sensitive Marma
points.
Further,
the Boring has to be made on a particular Muhurat. For instance Sundays,
Tuesday, etc are regarded inappropriate to commence making a Bore Well. The
scriptures have also talked about certain deposits that need to be made in the
Bore Well. None of these are complex or difficult for the common man to adhere
to. All he needs is perfect guidance from a competent Vastu Shastra consultant.
I
then prefer the client to check for the availability of water in the various
parts of his plot by either using any Scientific Equipment or then any
Traditional Method. In most of the cases he is able to strike water in one of
the four Vastu Shastra acceptable positions.
This
strategy ensures that the client is able to both follow Vastu Shastra norms and
at the same time actually get some water from the Bore Well.
I earnestly hope that this Blog has given you a new perspective at making a Bore Well.
The
Neelam / Blue Sapphire is the Gemstone assigned to Lord Shani and hence it is
strongly advised that in the first place prior to wearing the same you should
be doubly careful and preferably try it out for a small period of time as a
trial prior to wearing it on a permanent basis. Astrologically it is also
believed that a wrong decision of either wearing it or removing it can have
serious repercussions.
The
special circumstances under which you are permitted to remove a Neelam Gemstone
are elaborated ahead :
1.
You wish to upgrade the Neelam to a better quality one.
or
2.
If you have realised for sure that you have been advised wrongly to wear the
Neelam.
or
3.
If the Neelam has chipped / cracked / broken or damaged in any manner.
or
4.
If you have lost faith in the Gemstone and strongly feel that it is not working
well for you.
or
5.
The period for which the Neelam has been prescribed to be worn is complete and
now wearing of the Neelam has no relevance or can be harmful and act against
you.
However,
I would like to suggest that you should ensure that while removing of the
Neelam do so with great respect and make clear the “Intent” with
which you are doing so with humility. The dignity of the Gemstone should not be
in any way hampered. In case it is damaged then you will need to immerse it in
clean flowing water after offering a prayer of forgiveness ( Kshama Yachana ).
Sincerely hoping that this Blog has ensured clarity on the question posed.
In the course of my professional practice
which spans more than 3.5 decades in the field of Vastu Shastra, it is my
personal opinion that one must never rule any provision out. Though as of date
you may find the lift/ elevator to be of little or no use. In the course of
time there could be problems to do with one’s health and climbing up a couple
floors could then provide to be a challenge.
Hence, my suggestion to my clients is always
at least to allocate the space for a lift though they may not install it right
away. Given the sedentary lifestyles of today which is sans any physical
exercise believe me that sooner than later most will need to resort to the
lift.
I earnestly hope that my view point is helpful
to you.
You have indeed asked a very interesting and
relevant question from both Vastu Shastra as well as the generic Hindu Shastra
point of view.
First of all as a Vastu Shastra consultant I
would be answering this question from that perspective. Many are of the opinion
that one should place the Horse Shoe either atop the frame of the Main Door or
then on the threshold in order to ensure that no negative energy or malefic
effects of Saturn ( Lord Shani ) negatively impact the occupants of the Vastu.
However, this common trend has no basis or relevance at all. In all my reading
and experience I have rummaged through various authoritative classical texts
for a reference to this notion. But alas all my effort was in vain as there was
no text which vouched for its placement on the Main Door.
On the contrary it is regarded as attempting
to further invite Lord Saturn into the premise it is placed in. It also
attracts Alakshmi ( loss of Wealth and Riches ) and hence in my personal
opinion I would dissuade you from placing the Horse Shoe on your Main Door or
just any door of either a commercial or residential premise.
The placement of the Horse Shoe is a Western
concept and hence one does not find any reference in the ancient Indian
scriptures.
I sincerely hope that this Blog has been a good eye opener.
As per the well established tenets of both
Vedic as well as Modern Vastu Shastra there are only two accepted shapes for
both an open plot and the built structure. They are the Square and the
Rectangle.
The Triangular shape is to be shunned by one
and all. All the major classical scriptures on the subject of Vastu Shastra
have been unanimous in their opinion in this regard. Triangular shaped plots
and built structures including a single room is also not acceptable from the
Vastu Shastra point of view.
In case you are stuck with a Triangular shaped
plot then you will need to rectify it and carve out a Square or a Rectangle out
of it. You will need to make a compound wall in the shape of a square of
rectangle ensuring that all the four corners are at ninety degrees. The corner
triangular areas which are left out can then be used for peripheral aspects
like keeping the generator, septic tank, garden and such other not so important
aspects. Approaches to them will need to be very carefully made.
However, though I myself have planned homes
and commercial spaces by adhering to all Vastu Shastra norms after due
rectification of the Triangular plots in some cases depending on the kind of
Triangle there is a great deal of wastage of space. Vastu Shastra based
planning is easier in large Triangular plots than in smaller one’s. In my
opinion it is not advisable on account of the loss of space if you have not
purchased the plot then avoid it altogether.
You also need a very seasoned and experienced
Vastu Shastra consultant to take care of the Triangular plots. Novices will in
all likeliness give you some shoddy advice of rectification of the shape of the
plot which in my opinion does not have any classical base and they are
ineffective. The Dosha of the Triangular plot still carries on.
I earnestly hope that this Blog has answered
the query posed by one of my client’s.
There are two aspects two your question. Firstly, I would always
suggest that one should not keep a single peacock at home and rather keep a
pair or a group of them. The Peacock’s are regarded auspicious in many ways.
They are also known to attract prosperity and wealth. The peacock is also
featured as a vehicle ( Vahan ) of one of the important Hindu Gods who is a
warrior himself. So they also offer protection to the person who keeps them.
However, as per Indian Wild Life Act one is not allowed to keep
Peacock’s as pet as far as my knowledge goes. It is a serious offence and hence
my friend if you reside in India do not take this step and it is best that you
reap the same benefits from the appropriate use of their feathers which are openly
available in the market.
I certainly hope that this humble answer has put your query to rest.
I
would not agree with a blanket statement like that.
The
instances when the Rudraksha Mala cannot work in the interest of the person are
listed ahead to enhance better understanding :
1.
This situation may arise if a person has thrown it down on the ground with
disrespect/ anger / frustration / disbelief, etc.
2.
In cases where the Rudraksha beads are cracked, chipped or broken when they
have fallen then certainly the issue may arise that they will not be able to
perform well.
3.
If they have fallen in something that is unholy then again a situation could arise
where the ability of the Rudraksha beads becomes questionable.
However,
if it has harmlessly fallen down without any malefic intention then in such a
case in my opinion no such conclusion is to be drawn.
One
can simply ask for “Kshama Yachana” ( A prayer for forgiveness
) and re wear the Mala or then use it for Meditation purpose, as the case may
be.
I
sincerely hope that this crisp Blog has been able to answer the question
effectively.
To the best of my knowledge and
experience I have not come across any classical scripture having talked about
the plantation of this particular plant. In all probability it is not even of
Indian origin and hence there is no mention about it.
However, in order to answer your
question I would put to use well established Vastu Shastra norms which clearly
state that Golden Duranta which to the best of my knowledge is like a short
shrub is best planted in the North and the East directions. Its colour also is
in sync with these directions. The South and West directions are normally
reserved for plants and trees which grow very tall and are dense.
You will need to ensure that the
Golden Duranta is well trimmed and maintained so that it does not generate any
kind of a negative energy. Dying and dead Golden Duranta’s should be removed
and disposed off immediately. You will also need to ensure that the Golden
Duranta does not grow very tall ( which to my limited knowledge generally does
not happen ) or else the entire idea of planting it in the North or the East
direction is lost. It will then cut you away from the vital “Pranic” and “Jaivic” energies emanating from these Source directions.
I earnestly hope that this
humble Blog has been both meaningful and useful to you.
It is true that on account of
body heat and sweat every Mukhi and Origin Rudraksha tends to darken with the
passage of time. The time it takes to darken will vary from person to person
and the climatic condition he or she lives in.
Some are of the opinion that if
the Rudraksha gets dark then it is not considered auspicious and I would like
to clarify that this is a completely misplaced notion and as long as the
Rudraksha is not cracked, chipped or broken, it is perfectly fine to wear dark
coloured Rudraksha.
My very own “Deva Mani” Rudraksha which was fair colored went black after
around 6 months of continually wearing it.
In some cases or rather in most of the cases
those who adorn the Holy Rudraksha are not trained in the process of cleaning,
cleansing and energisation of the Holy Rudraksha. Both aforementioned factors
are of prime importance in all to keep the Rudraksha in pristine condition.
Hence, as and when you buy the Rudraksha one must know how to upkeep the
Rudraksha both Physically and Spiritually. Not up keeping the Rudraksha in the
manner required also leads to the darkening of the Rudraksha which can be
avoided. I have come across scores of my clients who have been wearing
Rudraksha’s but on account of lack of knowledge in the field of maintenance and
upkeep of a Rudraksha, the Rudraksha slowly looses its inherent energy and
becomes lifeless.
So friends do ask your suppliers
for the maintenance kit of Rudrakshas along with all other details I have
mentioned earlier. You may not get this kind of information from mere traders,
hence you will have to approach a learned person in the science of “Rudra Shruti” ( it is the science of
the study of Rudraksha’s.)
I earnestly hope that this
humble Blog has been able to resolve your query.
