Vastu analysis: The original methods and phony vastushastris

Vastu analysis: The original methods and phony vastushastris

Time and again we come across people titling them with honours of “Raj Jyotishi”, “Mahapandit” and “Vastushastri”. To top it up, there are many half reads, running vastu and vedic jyotish classes as if one chump is not enough for the society, so they he/she can come out with bunch of fools. All this is happening because people are trying to leap before they learn to walk, because there are people who can do anything for that paper out of the mint house. That is the very reason why social platforms and you tube is full of foolish theories and junk that has nothing to do with the actual lore of these divine sciences. There are vastushastri who do not understand even the basics of vastu and they are playing with life and emotions of people.

There are certain basic requirements to be a vastushastri.

A vastu shastri should be adept in geography, jyotish, prashna, agams, mathematics of ancient type, basic science of orientation, science of engineering and architecture.

STAGE 1:

The starting process requires a thorough knowledge of Gramvarna chakra, kankini chakra, yoni chakra and vargakshar chakras. It requires basic information of vargaksharas and Sanskrit. This is essential to give him/her an idea of where to look for (city/direction etc). Then one should use dikvarna system and dig dasha system (different from nakshatriya dasha of jyotisha) to give predictions for the house or land.

This is just for starters.

STAGE 2

The next stage starts with bhumi pariksha which requires knowledge of bhumi varnas, dik shodhan , graha swami varna and subsequent calculation of grah swami rashi varna and graha rashi varna, sixty-four different vedhas (obstructions) , bhumi akaar, ayaadi, plavan etc.

Tests should be conducted for dead or live site.

This stage includes determination of 16 types of shalyas which demands an extraordinary knowledge of prashna and chakras like Ahi chakra. The next phase is even more demanding which requires shalyodhar and the type of shalyodhar based on the strength of the cubicle in which the moon dwells. (One should be good at karmakanda and agam)

Not to mention that you have to be adept in understanding the basic anomalies in gravitation according to the topography of a place. You should also know which places or sites do not require directional orientation and which of them require dik shodhan and corrections for vidhik.

STAGE 3

Once you have done bhumi chayan and shodhan, you should be able to take kshetraphala and do 8-kuta judgments and match them with grahswami and the lady of the house. Then you have to reduce or add to the size of the land which seems almost impossible these days. For this you can devise a ready reckoner which can give you hasta praman sizes according to nakshatras of landlord and landlady.

STAGE 4

After this one should do bhumi upchar by offering obligations and balis to different deities on a land. This is essential because without this, you are nothing more than a land mafia acquiring a land without permission. There are things on the land one cannot see with naked eyes, these things can only be seen by an enlightened soul or by the process of prashna.

This require treatment.

STAGE 5

Stage 5 requires construction of compound walls before the construction of the house. Construction phase requires a knowledge of ancient calculations and conversion method from hasta praman. One should be aware of the size of and width of walls and dwar chayan, praveh method, vriksha chayan, upvan design. One should know about the process of choosing singha dwar, adhaar poojan and its method and direction based on timing of the year.

The different padas, their Pooja and dwar chayan is done in one go.

The construction requires knowledge of marma vedhas, materials, designing and dik.

According to karikas even a grain size defect in construction causes troubles, but I wonder how many so called vastushastris do know about it.

All this requires days of work and I have seen vastushatris coming to a house with a mobile phone and then analysing the whole house in a matter of minutes. These vastushastris are divine creatures sent by God.

This shameless work is going on because people do not want to accept their follies and lack of knowledge. The second reason which is very obvious is the money and lack of knowledge to house holders.

Now a day every second person is a vastushastri and no wonder the suffering and anguish of people is having a manifold increase because of this gimmicks run by such con artists.
