How to engulf yourself with positivity by harnessing Vastu Energies from all directions?

Imagine spending all your time inside a balloon of positivity with Positive Energies coming to you with each breath and coming to you from the sky, earth and around. If you are always surrounded by positive energies, imagine what will happen to your life professional and personal life. How much will your productivity improve, how will your success rate increase, how will your sales and profits increase. Will it not become manifold? Think about it.

An individual spends most of his time at home and workplace. He is always surrounded with three types of Vastu energies – the energies from the cosmos called cosmic energy, the energies of the earth called earth energies or telluric energies and the energies of the space around him or the energies of the structure or space he is spending his time in.

In my experience in vastu audits of several factories, offices and residences I have found one or more of these vastu energies sluggish causing a lot of problems for the inhabitants, sometimes it is office politics, sometimes lack of customers and at other times lack of profits. At home they suffer from lack of love and harmony, constant quarrels, short temper, lack of concentration (in children), lack of bonding between family members and at other times unexpected expenditures.

I have seen the positive changes that these clients have got in their lives after the three energies are harmonized and balanced using very precise and effective vastu remedies in their space. These remedies work like magic and within a month to three months all have reported a positive change in their environment. I have seen health issues resolved, marital happiness resolved, and decision making improved and academic performance improved. In the work front I have seen clients over achieving their yearly targets, sales increasing manifold, productivity of machines improving and quality of products being bettered.

An experienced vastu consultant can measure all these three types of energies; cosmic, structural and telluric and correlate them with your objectives and issues. With his experience he knows what the root cause of your issues is and what and where remedies are required to be installed to remove the negative energies in the space and convert sluggish energies to positive. A positive shift in vastu energies can bring in positive momentum in your life.

Vastu is a science of energies and is the sum total of the cosmic, telluric and structural energies causes the different changes in your life. Depending on whether these energies are positive or negative, optimum or sluggish the changes in life are positive or negative.

Start benefitting from these space energies by consulting a professional vastu expert in confidence.

Ways to tap your sub-conscious mind

Indian saints from centuries knew the power of the sub-conscious mind and ways to tap into this power. They also knew that the biggest challenge in reaching the sub-conscious is the conscious mind.

Sage Patanjali in his epic book – Patanjali Yog Sutras has recommended meditation or mindfulness as the first step to reach your sub-conscious. When you meditate simply by focusing on the gap between the two breaths gradually you reach a meditative state. Modern science has deduced that in this state your brain frequency is 7-8 cycles/second which is also called the alpha state. When you are in alpha state of mind your conscious mind is almost asleep and now you can communicate with the sub-conscious.

The other method is to confuse the sub-conscious mind or fool it in a way that it no longer stops your access to the sub-conscious. While this method too was known to the sages in India and abroad, it has been researched by modern hypnotherapists and psychiatrists. The California Institute of Hypnosis has developed a method wherein they use a script to confuse the conscious mind forcing it to give up. Once that happens the subject is in a hypnotic trance and now the hypnotist can feed positive affirmations to his sub-conscious thereby changing its programming.

The reason why I say that ancient Indian saints knew about this “confusion of the mind” technique is a story about Rishi Valmiki. Rishi Valmiki was a dacoit in his earlier life before Sage Narada advised him to chant “Mara..Mara...” repeatedly to attain enlightenment. Sage Narada realized that with his dacoit mindset he is finding it difficult to chant “Rama…Rama…”  hence he was asked to chant the opposite.

Rihsi Valmiki chanted as advised with full trust and eventually got the enlightenment. Though his conscious mind understood the chant as “Mara..Mara..” his sub-conscious understood it as “Rama…Rama…”  The Rishi subsequently had the good fortune to take care of Ma Sita and train Lord Ram’s sons when they were young.

This is an ideal example on how the conscious can be fooled to reach the sub-conscious

AstroVastu Analysis of MasterCard Brand

MasterCard changed its logo in July 2016 after more than 35 years.  Though the two intersecting circles of the original logo were maintained, change in fonts and placement were incorporated. The intersection earlier had red stripes in yellow background and the same has been replaced by orange color.

The basic shape of the mastercard symbol is the age old universal symbol representing evolution – vesica piscis (pronounced as veh-see-kuh pis-sis).

Vesica piscis is a symbol dating beyond Christianity and has always denoted feminine energy. It is formed by the intersection of two congruent disks, each centered on the perimeter of the other. This is a universal symbol and can be seen in Greek, Egyptian, Tibetan and Indian iconography. Euclid has used the symbol in geometry to draw an equilateral triangle.

Earlier, in the MasterCard logo, the words “Master Card” were written inside the two intersecting circles with “M” and “C” in capitals. One of the most significant change which has happened in the new logo is that now the words are placed below the circles and in small letters. Their CMO said we wanted to round off the letters denoting change.

In astrology, rounded fonts are representative of moon which also signifies water. An alternate currency like Master Card should be as fluid and flexible as water. Thereby, the change of fonts also conforms to astrological significance. In these days with newer and newer techniques like near-field-communication and new security measures being incorporated it was important for the marketing team to incorporate the message of evolution, change, flexibity into the brand. Immediately after the re-brand exercise, the company’s chief marketing and communications officer Raja Rajamannar said, “…First and foremost, we want people to know that our company is evolving. Evolving alongside them. The trust, convenience and security they have come to know when using Mastercard remains, and at the same time we are innovating and advancing for the future. One of the subtle changes was to lowercase the “C” in card, as a visual cue to de-emphasize how we are not just a card or a piece of plastic in your wallet.

Besides the use of vesica piscis, which is a sacred geometry symbol and sacred geometry is an integral part of architecture, the choice of colors red, yellow and orange also has vastu significance. 

In Vastu Red and orange represent Fire which is the main energy required for cash flow and execution. In my view, the colors red and orange were chosen to show that it is a replacement of traditional currency and you can execute any monetary transaction using the card. Similarly, yellow is the color of Earth element in Vastu, denoting stability and trust. Perhaps the designers wanted to show that the brand is stable and hence trustworthy.

The question now arises, did the designers have the perspective of astrology and vastu when designing the logo? Maybe no, but what it definitely communicates is that a mapping can definitely be done as vastu and astrology are in conformance with the already laid down principles of design. The advantage of designing the logo as per vastu and astrology is that now you can also incorporate the favorable planets for the chairman and managing director into the design thereby making the company more valuable.

Now get your logo and branding designed as per your favorable planets and directions. Consult VastuAcharya Manoj and we will work with your marketing team and graphics team to come up with a logo and brand colors which will boost your business to greater heights.

The 3 types of luck and how does vastu enhances them

Chinese philosophy specifically mentions three types of luck which influences the success and growth of an individual; earth luck, heaven’s luck and man’s luck.

Once you understand them you will agree that indeed this is what happens in life.

Heaven’s luck is the effect of past karmas on your present life. 40% of the luck we have comes from Heaven. This means our Heavenly Blessings or the good fortune we have created from the past (our past actions and deeds create good fortune) – which accumulates to become the luck we have now. The past karmas decide which family we will be born in and what date and time we will be born. In astrology we understand this as planetary influences on our life.

Earth’s Luck is the influence of our environment on our life. 30% of luck we have comes from earth. These are earth and nature’s energies and space energies effecting our life. These energies help you create a success or a prosperity mindset. In Vastu we understand is the effect of the five elements on our lives.

Man’s Luck is the remaining luck on which we have total control. It is the decisions we make, the choices we take and the actions we perform to achieve the goals of our life. The English proverb – “Work is worship” and the famous Shloka from Bhagwat Gita -  “कर्मणये वाधिकारस्ते मां फलेषु कदाचन । मां कर्मफलहेतुर्भू: मांते संङगोस्त्वकर्मणि”  emphasis the importance of this type of luck. You cannot and you will not be achieve any objective in life without the required efforts irrespective of what you do in Astrology and Vastu.

Many people ask me then what is Vastu and Astrology for? And I answer, “Vastu and Astrology are to act as a catalyst in your efforts. Their role is to support you, program your sub-conscious to lead you to the right decisions and right actions. That is exactly why several successful people believe and have used such metaphysical sciences in their life. They do not leave everything to destiny, they also strive to achieve their dreams.

The attached diagram explains my understanding of this three luck phenomenon, spend some time reflecting on it.

Diwali Special || 5 Days of Wish fulfillment

In our Vedic culture 5 days from Dhan teras to Bhai dooj are considered very auspicious to achieve desired results. This year they are falling between 17-October 2017 to 21-Oct-2017.

Besides the Lakshmi Pujan and other Puja that you do every year as per your family traditions, you may also do one or more of the following rituals:

1. ·        For continuous prosperity – start from 17th Oct’2017 Dhan teras to Bhai dooj. Take a piece of camphor, one laung and one big ilayachi (black cardamom). Burn it in earthen diya in worship area and also chant “SHRIM” for 108 times sitting there.
2. ·        To get desired job/ promotion/ clients – Take kaccha sut (sacred white thread), janeu), sprinkle some turmeric powder over it and few drops of water and make this thread Yellow thread. Now take 21 big ilayachi and create a beautiful garland for lord Lakshminarayan with this yellow thread and 21 big ilayachi. Offer this garland to lord on during Lakshmi Pujan.
3. ·        Make kheer (pudding of rice and milk) on Diwali day to offer to Lord LakshmiNarayan. This Prasad should be consumed by only family members.
4. ·        To get forever wealth worship Ma Lakshmi with lord Narayan together. Astrologically Ma Lakshmi is Venus means maya and we can control this maya only by intelligence which is represented by Lord Vishnu. Both Lakshmi Narayan should be seated on Garuda. That picture is perfect for worship. Garuda is a vehicle of Narayan. When Lord Vishnu was in Ram avatar and during fight with Ravan days. Lord Ram and Lakshman  were entangled in “Naag pash” by Meghnad. That time Garuda cut the ties of snakes and let Lord get free from nag pash. So Garuda got blessing from Lord Ram to help us to untie the karmic bondage.
5. ·        On the night of Diwali (19-10-2017)  chant as many times as you can any Lakshmi mantra or shree sukta. You can chant “ॐ श्री महालक्ष्म्यै च विद्महे विष्णु पत्न्यै च धीमहि तन्नो लक्ष्मी प्रचोदयात् ॐ” or “ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं श्रीं कमले कमलालये प्रसीद प्रसीद ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं श्रीं महालक्ष्मयै नम:॥“. These are two powerful Lakshmi Mantras.
6. ·        Always do prayer in present continuous form. Future tense always stay in future. For example wish “With your blessings my Lord and Mother Lakshmi, I am rich and wealthy” in place of “I want to be rich and wealthy”
7. ·        If you feel stagnant in career growth – Buy one lock with keys before 17th October. On 19th October – Diwali day take this lock with keys at any churaha and keep it there and return to home. Note – Do not check lock how it works by opening it and also don’t allow shopkeeper to show its functioning by opening it. You need to just purchase locked (close) with keys and drop it. Rest let the Universe do.
8. ·        Try to keep the ladies of the house – mother, wife and daughter happy in these five days especially. They represent Venus. If they are sad due to any reason, no remedy can give fruitful results.
9. ·        Offer white flower  (Mogra or kevda) itra to Lord Lakshmi Narayan in these five days. You can also use these but in that case use two separate bottles. One for Lord and one for you.  I pray to Lord lakshmiNarayan to bless you with Health, Wealth, peace, Harmony and all your desires get fulfilled.

The Asymmetry of Nature

Nature is asymmetrical. Have you seen a mountain which is same on all sides – a perfect cone? Have you seen a river which flows in a straight line? Or a perfectly symmetric tree?

The earth is tilted to one side and revolves around the sun in an elliptical motion. Had it been vertical and revolving in a circle we would not experience seasons and we would not have the beauty of having summer during summers in certain parts of the world. The asymmetry is what brings dynamism.  Nature is dynamic and it keeps changing itself. Symmetry results in a static world. That is why most natural things are asymmetric. Nature has its own way to decide between symmetry and asymmetry.

Yet we strive for symmetry and why is it so? Symmetry is the property of the logical and scientific mind. A logical mind strives for perfection. Perfection leads to constant and constant is static. No amount of evolution can happen with a static because any change requires dynamism. When the mind is illogical can evolution happen. All innovations happen with an illogical mind specially at the level of hypothesis. It is only when the hypothesis is tested on experimentations does the logical mind takes control of the invention and the world recognizes it as a scientific discovery or an invention.

This is what we mean when we talk about “Eureka” moment.

There are several concepts which are yet not proven scientifically and yet they exist as if they are laws. The behavior of the sub-conscious mind is one such phenomenon. In fact, there has been no device discovered which can see the sub-conscious or the conscious mind forget about locating it in the part of the body. When we can see through scientific devices is the brain and the nervous system. But is that the mind? We cannot be so sure.

The Hindu model of Universe explains these concepts wonderfully and is captured beatifically by our ancient sages in Sankhya Darshan (Indian Metaphysics). Everything in Indian philosophy finds its roots in metaphysics.

Fortunately, there is a renewed interest in metaphysics and a lot of work is happening. Many concepts and processes which were not possible to be explained through conventional science are now being explained through metaphysics.

I believe Vastu and Astrology are two important pillars of metaphysics and with time these will be brought into the realm of science once they are fully explained using metaphysics

Vastu Myth- Employees should not sit on the head

Yesterday I was sitting with a leading realtor in India. He is renovating his plush office in Gurgaon. 

The office has two floors. On the ground floor the management will sit and on the mezzanine floor it will be the staff. Over a cup of tea he asked, “Please clear one doubt Manoj ji. Some Vastu expert told me that staff should not sit on the floor above. It is like they sitting on your head. Should I be bothered about it?”

“Bhai ji, If anyone has said this from a vastu perspective it is totally a myth. It does not affect the Vastu of the place at all. The right zones for the right profile is all that matters irrespective if the management is on the lower floor or the employees.”

Having said that, across the world there is a best practice. The Managing Director or CEO of the floor sits on the top floor. Why is it so? The CEO or MD or Chairman has to be the least accessible to the outside world. If there are miscreants who enter a premises the CEO must be the most difficult to reach. That is what top floor and corner office is what is the best practice for placing the CEO. There is a practical reason and not just a status symbol.

So it is not Vastu when someone says that employees should not sit on the heads of the management
