Are you getting ill often? Are you facing financial problems? Then you might be suffering from Vastu dosha and the only way out of this is to get help from someone who is an expert in Vastu Shastra.
What is Vastu Shastra?
Vastu Shastra is an ancient science of architecture based on the five elements of nature or ‘Pancha Bhootas’. The premise of Vastu Shastra is that by replacing negative energies with positive energies you can have a happy and prosperous life. These positive energies are emitted by different directions when there is a balance of the five elements – air, water, earth, sky, and fire, according to Vastu Vidya. Whereas, if these are not in harmony it can have adverse effects.
Vastu Shastra has been put together by our sages and priests. It is a science which is 5000 years old. In ancient India, sages and the priests had the power to connect man with the five elements of nature. They recognized that man is also a combination of Pancha Bhootas and any imbalance leads to illness, tensions, and maybe death. Therefore, man’s abode, his workplace, and surroundings where he spends the maximum amount of time of his life must have harmony among all elements. It is based on knowledge of the flow of the magnetic currents and the magnetic fields, gravitational effects of Earth, the direction and velocity of winds, and light and heat of the Sun.
