Vastu
Vaastu contains a comprehensive meaning in it.The word vaastu is derived from the word" Vasu",or the Earth.The earth is the principal Vaastu and all the building situated on the earth are also Vaastu,apart from this whatever is created from vaastu as object of the earth are also Vaastu. Next Vaastu means to dwell at a place maintaining the Natural Law and Cosmic Vibrations.The word Vastospati occurs in the Rgveda 7.54.1).The Atharveda (5.17.13) even speaks of the spirit that chooses to dwell in the houses.There are many famous and scientific treatise on Vaastu are Brahat-samhita,Rajatrangini, Visvakarma prakash, Samrangansutradhara, silparatna, Manasara and Mayamatam.Vaastu is also dealt in Agmas and puranas.There are also Vaastu text for Jainism and Buddhism, such as Gautamayam,Buddhamatam and chaitya.Mainly Vaastu is the balancing system and mechanism of The Earth,Water,Fire,Air and Space There is concept of Vaastu purusha which signifies the sensitive parts of a building. . Nowadays Vaastu is very much in craze just because people want to get mental and physical happiness along with richness in money. Today If I say Your Vaastu can affects your money-matter ,it could be a matter of great research in coming future. As human is a natural object so he is bound to follow the Lawsof the nature.Only then he can be happy.Today we are living in a world of Science and Technology. Question may arise why is this Science and Technology?The simple answer is to make the modern people live in peace , harmony,and prosperity.Are we availing all these?Automatically answer is" No".Today the world population is increasing at a rapid growth and result is that just to cater the need we are exploiting this mother Earth and doing everything against the nature, science and Technology seems helpless in maintaing the balance.Vaastu saus to maintain the law between cosmic effect and human being.
Increasing population and unavailability of land made our builders and modern engineers to erect Flats ,Building, factory in a hapgazard way without taking the subtleties of Vaastu which has resulted in destruction,sorrows and pain with unhealthy life. According to a report of W.H.O. that appeared in the New York Times, the scientists of USA have declared 2000 buildings as sick.It cannot be said that these construction had no good engineering, skillls involved in them.The sickness is attributed to the disorderly arrangement of spaces within the within the built environment.They say that such residential buildings are found to be the sources of mental and physical disorders.The Govt.of India,in order to improve the economy of the nation has taken several steps recently. .Most of the Industries in the state and central sectors have become sick inspite of good funding and subsidiaries, they are not in a position to meet the salaries of lakhs of employees working in this units, thus incurring a loss of several thousand crores every years. therefore the Govt has taken decision to close down some of these huge loss making units.But where to absorb the employees is a big question that has remained unanswered till today.There are 2,21,427 sick industries in the small sector only, while 25% to 30%of the units are sick in private sector as many as75% units are sick in the Govt sector,whether state or central thus rendering colossal investment worthless. Needless to say that this is a mind-boggling drain on the wealth of nation .When the nation is passing through untold economic crisis and millions of employees are threatened with losses of jobs rendering their families without subsistence,why can not a fair trial to be given to effect Vaastu changes in these industries methodically in some sample units on an experimental basis under the supervision of apanel of advisers and experts to carry out the correction. During the course of my research of Vaastu, I have found that this ancient Science of Vaastu has tremendous bearing on the running of business concerns and Industrial units.I have visited many business and Industrial Houses all over India and corrected them as per Vaastu which resulted in converting 90% of them into profit making units.It many not be out of place to mention here that even a strong communist country like China is following a similar science called Feng-shui.Therefore ,it is my earnest appeal to the Govt of India in general and the state Govt in particular to give a serious thought to this new avenue to tackle the vexatious problem of Industrial sickness with the application of Vaastu shastra aim at providing comfort and joy to the dwellers.
