Practical vastushastra


Thursday, May 08, 2008 12:00 AM [Transplanted from my musings]




Vastu in sanskrit means dwelling. In modern times, i see a lot of unhappiness around us. I learned vastu from various sources, newspapers, magazines,books, even talked to experts. I feel, following the principals of vastu shastra one can infuse positive energy in his/her house and bring about a wave of happiness in life. Today i am going to tell you something about Practical vastu shastra


a book written by Acharya Satyanand and published by Diamond pocket books.


Age criteria

This book is suitable for all age groups, 13 years and above. Especially for the middle aged people, who are interested in building up their homes.




Review

In this very brief book, about 174 pages, Satyanand jie has precisely described various aspects of vastu. There isn't over explanation of anything. The language is very simple, and easy to understand. Not at all technical, if you feel uncomfortable with that. Apparently this book was published first in hindi and bengali then smt jayashri translated it in English. There are drawings and examples, making things easier to understand. A good book, if you just want to know the basics of vastu.


Gifting ideas

Although this seems to be an ideal gift, because its not very pricey, costs around 150 rupees approx, don't gift it randomly to anyone. Its a good gift for people with creative intrests or if your friend or family member has chosen engineering, architecture, or interior designs as career option. Also, those people, who want to build up their dream house, or are planning to build one will like this gift of yours.




Go ahead and buy a copy for your personal collection if you like to have some knowledge on this subject. Knowledge after all never goes waste.

And comment in here, about your views on this book

Happy reading!!!

Happy blogging!!!

yes...science made of natural observations and simple deductions...and yet like common sense quite absent...in gurgaon dlf is making a blue glass walled semi pyramid...and every time someone sees it they say who came up with such a gross idea...

well i agree with the commom sense part.many people just follow vastu blindfolded.They never will question the logic or reason behind any of its principles.

What if You Could undo every regret? An uncomfortable conversation with The Midnight Library

Have you ever replayed your life at night, wondering how things might have turned out differently? The Midnight Library by Matt Haig asks you to sit with that question. Through Nora Seed’s quiet despair and imagined alternatives, the novel explores regret, possibility, depression, and the fragile hope that living at all might be enough. Have you ever wondered if one different choice could have changed everything? You probably have. Most people do. Usually at night. Usually when the world goes quiet and your mind decides to reopen old files you never asked it to keep. The job you did not take. The person you loved too late or too briefly. The version of yourself that felt possible once. You tell yourself that if you had chosen differently, life would feel fuller, cleaner, less heavy. The Midnight Library begins exactly there, in that familiar ache. Not with drama, but with exhaustion. Not with chaos, but with a woman who feels she has quietly failed at everything that mattered.

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Epitome of equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...
