A Boon for Construction Projects…Indian Vastushastra

It can be said with assertiveness that all Vastu defects can be overcome with proper use of the ancient Indian principles of Vastushastra. All the projects can then come out of

darkness and move forward with renewed speed and efficiency. With Vastushastra, we can mitigate all the Vastu defects and generate positive vibes for the whole humanity…

Thinking about the connection between the economic slow-down, rising prices and the problems arising out of these with Vastushastra, we must first of all understand that every aspect of human life is influenced by Vastushastra. It has been proved over time that right from the prosperity touching your home to its stability and improvement, from educational progress and health to happier marital status and progeny and from career, development and stability to professional and industrial progress everything is deeply influenced by Vastushastra.

In the recent past we have witnessed major problems in many industries as well as in construction projects due to various reasons. When the events were analyzed with the principles of Vastu, it clearly came to the fore that both the roots of the problems and their answers are found in the principles of this ancient Indian science.

Public outcry, disagreements, facing action due to huge neglect of Government rules and also Court proceedings are all results from one or more Vastu defects in the North West direction. In some of the projects the North West had a hill and a lake as two prominent Vastu defects. In a prominent location in Mumbai, the Court and Government action was caused by a slope in North West with a huge lake. In an another incident the 2nd phase of the project started from North West and sustained major problems for almost 3 years. An industrial worker dispute aggravated due to Vastu defects in the North West and another huge and ambitious project is held up due to a couple of serious natural Vastu defects. At the same time it can be said with assertiveness that all these Vastu defects can be overcome and the projects can

come out of the darkness and move forward efficiently. It is only with the proper use of the ancient Indian principles of Vastushastra that we can mitigate all the Vastu defects and generate positive vibes.

Normally construction professional get the plans approved and as soon as the permissions are on hand they start the project construction. During this period they have to undergo many obstacles which may result in stalling or delaying of the project as also escalation of the costs of the project. Once they are trapped in such a vicious circle they approach Vasturaviraj, place their problems before us and seek solutions and remedial measures.

We specifically tell them not to specify the problems in any manner because our analysis of the project provides us all the inputs of the problems being faced. Normally a Vastu Expert is able to understand all the problems concerning a project after he conducts an analysis of the same.

The Analysis Procedure

One of our Vastu Experts visits the project and the project in charge is asked to keep the maps and drawings etec for

analysis. The Vastu analysis consists of analyzing plot of land and a detailed study and analysis of the entire project. The required information is obtained from the concerned authorities at the Project. The Expert then places Positive and Negative points of the project and prepares a Report which states the fact that are positive and tnose negative as per Vastushastra. If there are certain corrections to be made concerning the Government regulations the same are also mentioned in the Report. In the last part of the Report the Expert sp0ecifies the Remedial Measures that need to be taken in order to mitigate the Vastu defects found during analysis along with a probable expenditure for the same.

Normally, Vasturaviraj uses its own and proven manufactured items for remedial measures using high quality crystals, pyramids, Yantra and others. These are proven and dedicated items from Vasturaviraj and therefore bring the desired results within specified time. It is almost impossible to find any other manufacturer to provide matching quality of materials. These remedial measures are fitted either in the land or in the buildings as specified and required and the process is carried out in the presence of our experts. The work progresses well without any obstacles and the builder gains desired success.

The project thus completed is then eligible for provision of a Certificate “VASTURAVIRAJ VASTU DEFECTS FREE PROJECT”. It is also mentioned in the Certificate that the project has gone through the Vastu Defect Neutralization process. At the same time the project officers and marketing personnel are trained in the various aspects of Vastushastra and cause and effects of the Vastu defects. Thus these people can address all questions from the customers.

Vasturaviraj also undertakes to clarify all the doubts raised

during completion of the project. At the same time the project is accorded permission to share the name “Vastu Consultants-Vasturaviraj” to be exhibited with other consultants for the project.

Project planning and design as per Vastushastra

culminating in defects and problems of serious nature has been observed. The idea of bandaging the wound with remedial measures is an afterthought. If only we could go by the principles of Vastushastra and plan our projects effectively, it would be a boon to everyone connected with the project.

The initiation for any construction project is with acquisition of land. Ancient Indian Vastushastra has preferred eight important commandments for selection of plot of land. In the 21st Century today we are faced with population explosion and lack of availability of land clubbed with fierce competition. It is therefore very difficult to find a plot of land totally suitable as per Vastushastra. However the ancient saints and sages were true visionaries. Therefore even in our world today even if we are not able to get a proper plot of land we can create a square or rectangular plot, with an underground wall and copper strips as well as Pyramids in appropriate quantity which would provide all the benefits of success and energy. One can then place the project details in this plot of land. In the Vastu Science nomenclature this is called Linearization of the Plot.

The entire construction project arena has 5 major problems to deal with. These are:

1. Acquisition of Plot and litigation, court matters and heated discussions while taking possession.

2. Lack of coordination in decision on a project after the land is in possession as well as delays encountered.

3. To acquire all the Government permissions and Licenses for Construction project.

4. Lack of the desired speed and progress in spite of huge investments, availability of materials and full quantum of labor force.

5. Lack of success in marketing even with the best progress in construction activities.

Most importantly the root cause of all these matters is in Vastushastra.

Problem 1 is that of purchase of land or problems while taking possession of the land. This is a sure sign of a Vastu defect in the North to West area of the plot. The part may be quite higher or it may have a larger slope or a ditch, water, a huge extension or a Cut in the part, a crematorium, temple, hospital or such Vastu defects. These result in quarrels between owners of land and further eclipse the project just at the beginning. If there are Vastu defects in North West as well as East to South the results are mostly seen in serious problems and even court cases.

Problem 2 reflects the indecision after the plot of land is in possession. This is regarding the use of the plot either for residential, commercial or both. Many times the difference of opinion between the developer, architects and other stake holders reach a stage which results in inordinate delay. Finally the plan is somehow agreed and sent for various Government approvals.

Problem 3 relates to the obstacles in receiving various sanctions such as objections and others. These again result in delays, escalating costs and discontent.

Just as in problem 1, the other two problems also mean delays, obstacles, escalating costs and mental agony. When your plot of land has serious Vastu defects in North West plus South East the type of problems are sure to bother you.

- From the weight point of view in Vastushastra the second heaviest area should be South East and North West should be third heaviest part. If this proportion is hampered or out of phase the troubles will ensue in full.

- South East direction is the base of FIRE element. The Electric Substation is the most well placed entity here. However if this area is encroached by an element of water, the same results in natural imbalance, Vastu defects and negativity. This has been proved universally.

- South East part is the base for FIRE element. If this area is encroached by any other element such as water, air, earth or sky the natural imbalance will mean Vastu defect and result in bad effects.

- It is harmful to have a highly raised portion or ditches or deep areas in both these directions.

- It is also harmful if these areas have CUTS or huge extension of the plot.

Many of the Developers have expressed the opinion that these are normal problems faced by them. They treat these as a normal occurrence and part of the business. However one must understand that if these issues are resolved early on the problems get resolved on their own reducing the agony. It is thus imperative that we should go for Planning and Designing of the project according to Vastushastra and if certain natural Vastu defects still continue to be found in the plans, these can

be effectively resolved with Vastu Remedial Measures and success of the project is ensured.

Problem 4 starts on a positive note for that matter. The plot of land is in possession, plans have been sanctioned, the construction work has started, labor is available and financial status is impeccable. All this would mean that the construction speed should be healthy. However unforeseen obstacles such as reduction in the speed of work, stalling of work, unnecessary and heavy expenses, sabotage and accidents, non cooperation from contractors and others emerge.

Problem 5 speaks about the construction work being completed on schedule and project ready for sale. Marketing team is fully functional. The customers are arriving in numbers and still the spaces are remaining unsold. The response is very lukewarm.

The roots of both the above debacles lie in Vastu defects in North to East and South to West portions of the plot of land.

- The North East part should be as free as possible and also as light as possible. This must have become heavier.

- There must be CUTS created either in North East, South West or both.

- The North East must have become very heavy and South West very light.

- Underground water tank must have been placed in South West instead of North East.

- There must be a slope, cut or water in the South West.

- There would be a crematorium, Kabristan, Graveyard, Temple, Hospital, Railway, Bus stand or a Mall in North East or South West.

- The Entrance would be in South West.

As per Vastushastra South West provides stability and North East provides progress. However if there is a Vastu defect in either or both of them obstacles are definitely present in reducing the speed of work or in obstacles in sales.

In order to avoid these pitfalls, it is essential that we accept our own ancient Indian Vastushastra. If we go by the guiding principles laid down for excavation and construction here the work progresses with desired speed and results. If underground water storage is created in the North East of the project before start many of the obstacles are automatically taken care of and the financial inputs remain positive.

Other benefits of ancient Indian Vastushastra

- The work progresses without obstacles.- Easier to avoid the risks of delays, escalation of costs,

mental agony and losses.- The residents of the Complex also benefit with faster

development and progress.

As on today we see a huge demand for Redevelopment due to the paucity of land, outdated and dilapidated buildings and the risky old structures. Redevelopment is a golden opportunity for the residents of these old buildings. Their residential accommodation could be made positive as per Vastu principles. The abodes they are in today might be less than 40 % positive which means that it is providing them benefits lesser than 40%. This means 40 % progress and 60 % regress and troubles. If the residents demand with a single voice for Vastu compliant buildings, all their homes could be made 80% positive without any expenditure. This means that they will be in for 80% fast progress and just 20% obstacles. With proper and justified Vastu remedial measures, the obstacles could be brought down to 0%.

In the Redevelopment it takes very long to cross all the hurdles due to the intricate human problems. In some cases the Vastu defects of the old plot of land itself causes hard feelings and tensions delaying positive results. If the Vastu defects of the plot of old land are taken care of with the help of Vastushastra the projects can take off smoothly.

A matter of fact needs to be mentioned here. Cities like Shanghai, Hong Kong and Singapore have today become symbols of what redevelopment can achieve in the World today. The Governments at these countries have used local architecture science Feng Shui for bringing in faster redevelopment. Although Feng Shui is part of the ancient Indian Vastushastra, one has to accept that we have not been able to propagate Vastushastra globally with necessary resolve.

On the Global level the importance of Green Building (LEEDS Rating) and its demand has been increasing. It can be understood that the concept has been accepted more because it has come from a foreign land. However we must say with pride that the guiding principles of Green Building design are exactly as per ancient Indian Vastushastra.

Apart from this all basic and infrastructure projects such as roads, energy projects, water reservoirs, construction of dams, new Town Planning Schemes including Agriculture could be benefitted effectively with Vastu analysis of land and the use of Vastushastra principles.

Ancient Indian Vastushastra has been a boon bestowed by India on to the World. By implementing the principles laid down in this science Maharashtra State can be a leader in terms of housing and development and can guide not only the Country but the entire World.
