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.

What should be the height of Pooja Deities (Home Altar)?

This is a common question which keeps bothering us as most of the times we do not find anyone who can give a proper answer to it.

During my last Vastu related visit to Chennai, I had the good fortune to visit Mahabalipuram, the town of great sculptors and meet Sthapati R. Ravindran who has to his credit sculpted several deities in temples across South East Asia.

During the interactions someone asked him about the size of the statue of Gods we place in the home altar (Pooja room).

He said, “As per Vedic texts, when you place an idol at home for worship, it should not be more than the size of one mushti.” He further explained that the pedestal and crown of the deity is not to be considered.”

One mushti is the the length including the width of the palm and the length of the thumb fully extended (This is shown in the figure attached).

Any idol which is bigger than the mushti as explained above should be placed in a proper temple and not at homes.

Can destiny be changed by Vastu? || Part 1

We,  my friend and I were travelling in a coach from Khandala to Mumbai one day and we started getting talking. He knows I work on Vastu and Astrology and he was narrating his own experiences with astrology. Suddenly he raises his hand and shows a vertical line on the mount of Jupiter and says, “One astrologer has told me that since this line has crossed the third phalange of the middle finger I will never be able to accumulate wealth.”

“That’s all non-sense.” I immediately reacted.

“But it is true. I have never been able to save money.”

“All this can be changed, my dear and I can help you change it.”

“How?”

“See destiny is like the default programming of the mobile phone. This is what my guru always tell. When you first turn it on it is completely functional and many people do not change any default setting of their phones.  Some people however do not like the ring tone, message tone, whats app notification and change them. That is what we call configuration.”

“Yes I understand.”

“Similarly we are born with a default programming what is called destiny and just like a mobile phone we can customize it by simple techniques. Let me share them with you.”
