MahaVastu challenge: Right location of 'bin' can bring in treasures

With over 20 years of experimentation, experience and indepth research and analysis of Vastu effects, MahaVastu has identified certain simple yet incredibly effective solutions to lifes basic problems. Vastu Guru Khushdeep Bansal, who has thorough understanding of Vastu Shastra, has understood the positive and negative affects of even those elements that have not been mentioned in the ancient doctrine of Vastu. Subtle explanations of the objects' purpose and use helped the Guru in decoding problems and finding ultimate solutions. One such solution to the multiple problems of life lies in the placement of the waste or garbage bin. Yes, there is no clear mention of a bin in Vastu Shastra, but after the four-step MahaVastu analysis, it is found that energies emanated through the bin make it a powerful ob ject that should be placed in an appropriate direction to ensure positivity. The bin is used to throw away unnecessary and useless things; in other words, it is a means to dump the waste. And the activity of dumping or throwing away, as per MahaVastu, should be carried out only in specific zones. If kept in a wrong direction or in the wrong zone, the bin can create possibilities of positive energy being dumped along with the waste.

For example, if a bin is in kept in the zone of education, children at home will start losing their interest in studies. Likewise, if a bin is in the zone of relationships, it will not only hamper personal relations but have negative effects on professional ties too. Business professionals might start losing clients and their payments can get stuck. Those employed in companies can have misunderstandings with bosses and colleagues, creating stumbling blocks in their progress. On the other hand, if the bin is in one of its ideal zones, which are East -South-East, SouthSouth-West and West-North-West, then the positive flow of energy will not be hampered and one will have clarity of thought, get new ideas to grow, and have strong personal and professional bonds. MahaVastu research has identified the effects of the bin in all 16 MahaVastu zones. Some of these are discussed below:

North-East: The bin in this zone makes thinking difficult. Residents feel confused, are not able to focus on goals, and cannot make right and timely decisions. This has a direct negative impact on their professional lives, keeping them cash-starved. East-North-East: The bin in this zone makes residents lethargic and they start procrastinating over things. They lack energy to rejuvenate themselves and live depressed, mostly lost in past memories. East: The bin in this direction can make people introverted; they do not realise the significance of moving out and meeting people. Such people often get into trouble with their neighbours and clients. Businessmen can suffer major losses and lose important connections. South-East: The bin kept in this zone becomes the root cause for blocked payments in business. Residents feel cash-starved all the time. Whenever something good is about to happen, there appears to be some hurdle that blocks prospects.

Power of 16 MahaVastu Zones

The 16 MahaVastu Zones govern each and every aspect of our existence. They act as a blueprint for our well-being.

"Each and every emotion and thought that appears inside you is generated by the 16 MahaVastu Zones (in your home) only."
These MahaVastu Zones have been adapted from Vedic Mahavastu and have been modified to suit the contemporary needs of today's buildings. That is why even architects and interior designers are learning and adopting principles of MahaVastu. Each of the 16 MahaVastu Zones has its own attributes and eff ects. Each Zone is governed by its specific element. These Zonal powers may be overactive or inactive, primarily because of the imbalance of Panchtattva (Five Elements), thus adversely affecting the lives of the people occupying that building. With the hel p of appropriate colours, metals, shapes, symbols and various other techniques of MahaVastu, these Zones can be balanced and programmed as per MahaVastu to generate the desired results in life. Furthermore the kind of objects placed in a Zone affects your corresponding emotion. Documented research in Vastu Shastra shows if you have a bedroom in the Zone of Anxiety (East -South-East), you will never feel relaxed in it; rather you will have frequent disagreements with your spouse. Similarly, your children get naturally inclined towards their studies and do well academically if their study table is placed in the Zone of Education (West -South-West). Likewise, if a toilet is there in the Zone of Gains (West), you do not get the expected results. Let us now take a look at these MahaVastu Zones and their influence on your life.

North-East (NE) It is the Zone of Wisdom, Meditation and Inspiration. In Vastu, this Zone is ideal for Meditation. East of North-East (ENE) It governs Fun and Refreshment in your life. It is the ideal Zone for a Family Lounge. East (E) The energy generated by East Zone facilitates the Social Connectivity. It is the ideal Zone for a Drawing Room. East of South -East (ESE) The balanced state of this Zone imparts depth to your thought and gives y ou a deeper understanding of life's processes. South-East (SE) Also known as the Fire Zone, it is the Zone of Money. South of South -East (SSE) If in a building this Zone is depressed, its occupants will lack Strength and Confidence. South (S) Most importan tly, this is the Zone of Fame, Recognition and Social Reputation. South of South -West (SSW) In Vastu Shastra, the energy of this Zone removes all that is 'waste' and useless in your life. A lack of this energy results in a lot of time, money and effort bei ng wasted on unimportant things, fruitless thoughts, unimportant discussions etc. South-West (SW) It is the Zone of Skill, Marriage, Family Harmony, Bonding, Stability in life and Relationships. West of South-West (WSW) The West of South -West is the Zone o f Studies, of repeated Practice or vidya abhyaas , knowledge and education. West (W) The energy of this Zone ensures that no action or effort made by you goes waste. West of North -West (WNW) It is the Zone of rodhan i.e. stress and depression. North-West (NW) The North-West Zone generates the energy that attracts Supportive and Helpful people for any cause you pursue. North of North -West (NNW) This is the Zone of attraction and sex, sensual enjoyment and sense of fulfillment. North (N) As North Zone represen ts Money or Treasure, its energy helps you to generate New Opportunities to earn money. North of North -East (NNE) If this Zone is disturbed, your Body -Resistance and Immune System weakens, making you prone to illnesses from which recovery is slow

Effect of 32 Entrances
The effects of an entrance are always very powerful whether positive or negative. Crucially, the entrance of a building is the point at which the Space enclosed by the building communicates with the Universe.

The Space of every building is only a part of the vast Space of the Universe. But these two represent different levels of consciousness. The Space outside a building refers to the conscious mind, and the Space inside the building refers to the sub -consciou s mind. Through the entrance to one's Space i.e. building, one moves from one level of consciousness to another - that is, the main door represents the shift from the conscious to the sub -conscious level. Naturally the location of the main entrance of a bu ilding is of prime importance. For analysing the effects, you should understand how to identify the entrance location on the plan. According to MahaVastu, by dividing the 360 around the centre of a given Space into 32 equal 'Angular divisions' - each measuring 11.25, you get 32 possible locations of entrance to the built up Space. This is the path - breaking approach of MahaVastu, which places it above all other methods being used in the name of Vastu .

Once you have calculated the Entrance Locations as pe r MahaVastu, only then, you can match the symptoms of the building with the corresponding effects. Symptoms of the building refer to the adverse or beneficial situations being faced by the inhabitants like: abundance of money; career-success; not receivin g payments on time; frequent accidents and mishaps; miscarriages etc. Once the symptoms are found to be a 100% match with those mentioned in MahaVastu, then by using different techniques of MahaVastu, which basically involve MahaVastu's Theory of Five Elements, (normally, in the form of colours, or/and metals) the negative effects of that entrance can be nullified.

Influence of 5 Elements
The causative nature of the five elements: Water, Air, Fire, Earth and Space are the key to the study and practice o f MahaVastu.

The foundation of MahaVastu is Sankhya Darshan (Indian Metaphysics), which is the basis of all Indian sciences like Yoga , Ayurveda, Tantra and many more. The entire Universe, whether it is stars, planets, moons, or any form of life, is made up of these five elements. In buildings each direction is dominated by one element - a balanced state being the cause of positive, and an imbalanced state the cause of negative effects. It is the balance or imbalance among these Panchtattva that makes one's Space a virtual heaven or hell. An underground water tank in South Zone will cause anxiety, fire -accidents, restlessness and disturbed sleep. Similarly, the fire placed in North Zone (Zone of Water) will block new opportunities, receipt of payments and lack of orders, as they are attributes of this Zone. So here in these examples, you can see how an imbalanced state of elements in a building creates problematic real-life situations.

Water
It is associated with conception of new ideas, clarity of thoughts, creation of new vision, flowing of new opportunities in your life, healing energy, immunity and restoration of health. Water dominates the North direction in buildings. Balanced State When Water is in balanced state in a building, the people in such buildings are able to see the larger picture of life. Though their attitude towards life becomes spiritual and philosophical, they are, at the core, essentially, worldly beings.

Air
Air represents growth in your life. It is also associated with movement, especially rotational movement, so it brings refreshment, fun, joy and happiness in life. This element dominates the East. The Chinese call it the Wood element. Balanced State Air gives you the c ourage to try new things, take risks for your growth and to explore your inner self. You get to meet people who pave the way for your growth and you perform impressively.

Fire
Fire is the driving force behind all life processes and thus is equated with mon ey in modern era. It can transform your life with confidence and enthusiasm. South is the direction of Fire. Balanced State In its balanced state, Fire brings you fame and recognition among the masses. It gives you zeal, power, strength, confidence and mon ey, which become the driving force behind life and its processes.

Earth
Mother Earth gives stability. balance, infinite patience and maturity in character are imbued by this element. Earth dominates the centre and diagonal directions in every built -up Spac e. Balanced State When balanced, this element induces stability in your life - be it your career, behaviour, relationships, or results of your efforts. It encourages towards a feeling of peace and harmony with the entire world - especially with those relat ed by blood.

Space
Space represents expansion, enhancement, extension, spread, communication and even thought process (Mental Space). Space dominates the Western direction. The Chinese call it the Metal element owing to perfect space configuration in metal s (Atomic Structure). Balanced State In a balanced state, Space gives you the charge of your destiny. It gives you a sense of direction and the ability to get organized, ensuring that you excel in all that you do. Space gives you the knowledge and awarenes s to understand new, creative and beneficial ideas.

MahaVastu Programming
Symbols
Symbols are the formulator ( sutradhar ) of the conscious and the sub -conscious mind. And man has had this innate knowledge from the very beginning, right with the creation of the world. According to linguists, development of language has taken place from symbols only. Symbols are an integral part of human life and mind, even today.

The human sub-conscious mind understands only the language of symbols. The expansion of the sub-conscious mind is in two domains - first the sub-conscious mind of a human being and second the inner space of a buildi ng. The human mind evolves from the Space where he lives - the space inside the building. The philosophy of MahaVastu believes - Bhawna (emotion and intention) is the daughter of Bhavana (building). Emotion and intention are the driving forces of your lif e.

CPU Analogy
The analogy of computers serves best to understand the process of both the conscious and sub conscious mind. Conscious mind is the monitor and sub -conscious mind the CPU (Central Processing Unit). The CPU works according to the information r egistered on the monitor. It does not perform any analysis on its own. The language of CPU is altogether of a different type. Ninety five percent of regular computer users do not know that language; though, it is used for programming of computers. A comput er program is like a set of instructions, written in that particular language. Similarly, the conscious mind gathers information through the five senses (Eye, Ear, Nose, Tongue, Skin), visuals through the eyes in form of paintings and colours, sounds in the form of music or noise through the ears and touch from textures through skin. Different objects in the external world create the complex language for the sub -conscious mind. Information picked unknowingly by the sub -conscious mind creates the life you li ve. Understanding of this language and using it to manifest the life you desire is the basis of MahaVastu Programming.

Symbols 'Speak' to us
When placed in a building, a symbol represents something - it says something to our sub conscious mind, which then begins to act accordingly. This activates the natural Earth energies to generate a specific effect towards the fulfillment of our desires - once these energies sense our

desires, they program our sub -conscious mind accordingly and thus set us moving towar ds the achievement of our goals. Thus by placing an appropriate symbol in the appropriate MahaVastu Zone related to our wish, we can program our Space for its fulfillment. For example, for a loving relationship with your spouse, put a symbol of Love Birds in the MahaVastu Zone of Relationship. Your Space will get to know what you want and you and your spouse will sub -consciously start behaving in a manner conducive for a cordial and loving relationship between the two of you. Thus, helping us read into the symbolic messages from the Universe; and take the desired steps to convey our wishes to the Universe through the use of symbols and objects - is what makes MahaVastu unique.

Law of Universe

The Law of Universe is: the world is created out of the experience of joy. The Universe is conscious and full of joy. The Hindu Alchemy of Space says, that to experience itself, Universal Consciousness ( Param Atma ) created the world, which is full of joy! Desire is 'consciousness on a journey to joy'. Desire dr ives you and your life, to experience joy, thus, creating a new world for you. In this process, joy creates the world. And even while experiencing the joy, we are the creation of joy. Little wonder we got created when our parents were passing through an experience of joy. A part of Universal Consciousness ( Param Atma ) is human consciousness ( Atma / Soul) wrapped in five layers ( Panchkosha ) and manifested through five elements ( Panch Tattva ). Every soul has one common goal, i.e., to Experience Joy. The paths may be different-someone wanted to experience the joy of flying and hence created airplanes; someone desired to experience more speed and created cars. Similarly the whole world is created in the joyous state of consciousness. The purpose of human birth i s to experience joy by manifesting the core desire. As per Hindu philosophy, the soul will keep taking rebirth as long as it has not manifested its core purpose, for which it got separated from the Universal Consciousness. A problem or pain is an indicatio n of deviation from core purpose, like disease (means being not at ease) is a deviation from the natural flow, known as health. Restoring back to flow makes us free of pain or disease. On the way to manifestation of core purpose, money, power, comforts and health, are by-products. To experience joy or self, Universal Consciousness created three aspects: 1. Us 2. A Cosmic Clock, comprising the solar family and the whole phenomenon of our galaxy, to keep time of the events. 3. A total manifestation ground, v iz., the Earth, which is encircled with horizontal and vertical energy lines. As soon as part consciousness takes birth as a soul, it gets programmed as per the position of planets and stars at that particular point of time. The chip (like the one present in a computer or mobile phone) carrying all that programmed information for our future is fed inside us as the

deeper state of human mind, also known as subconscious mind. This part of the mind is responsible for all the body functions and the life we are living right now. All events and situations in life are as per the movement of planets and stars.

Influence of Stars & Planets

Stars and planets, the objects of the external Space (Universe), are responsible for the programming of your sub-conscious mind at Manomaya Kosha . This creates the life you are experiencing now. Your purpose of life, your goals, your choices, inborn habits , inclinations of mind, your reference points of happiness and pain, your own philosophy of how you lead your life, are some part of that programming, among many more. The movement of the stars and planets in their respective trajectories act as a Cosmic C lock for timing the events in your life, and programming your sub -conscious mind. Man understood this secret 12000 years ago. Since then, he has been studying stars, planets, and their movements, in order to understand the core (or true) purpose of his bei ng on this planet. This has helped him manifest his core desire and experience the eternal joy by focusing his attention and energies on his 'true purpose' only. Man has understood this fact very well that the cause of misery and pain lies in deviation fro m his core purpose. And to keep himself aligned, man has been observing the stars for ages. That is also how the development of Hindu Astrological System ( 'Jyotish' ) initiated. The word 'Jyotish' means "Illuminated Divine Lights Showing the True Path". The word 'Religion' means "Getting Aligned Again". In Hindu Astrology, the Moon stands for the sub -conscious mind. Whereas, Mercury is considered to stand for the ordinary conscious mind, with analytical and reasoning faculties. Only in Hindu Astrology, the timing of events is worked out from position of the Moon at birth time. When the Moon is studied for seconds, minutes and degrees (120 for 120 years), then a certain combination of planets gives accurate timing of events. This calculation goes up to the accuracy of an hour for happening of an event in one's life. This system is known as 120 year situation method ( Vimshottari Dasha Padhhati ), given by eminent Hindu astrologer Sage

Parashar In 5th Century B.C. Hindu mystics decoded the mystery of life thousan ds of years ago. The most amazing part is that
they mathematically derived the process of evolution for an individual, based on planetary positions at birth, their transits and their programming for sub -conscious mind. More into this understanding is, working evolution of Chakras with position of planets in the birth chart of an individual. In the application of MahaVastu, the birth chart is studied from this angle. The design of building is then decided. Each individual horoscope is unique with its own pu rpose on the planet. Even Greeks in the past studied horoscopes with this thought in mind. So that by defining one's purpose, structures can be made to perform the desired function.

Effect of Earth Energies

Earth is the manifestation ground for desires of Universal Consciousness ( Param Atma ) through human consciousness ( Atma ). To manifest our purpose or core desire, nature, like a manager, facilitates all necessary powers and conditions. The Earth is encircled with energy lines, both horizontally and vertically, thus creating energy grids. Hindu alchemists recognized them as Mandalas . They went further in this discovery; they recognised the usage of individual Mandalas to fulfill specific purposes. In 1952, a German scientist Manfred curry found these ene rgy lines and termed them as Curry Lines. His colleague Earnest Hartman in 1967 found that diagonal patterns existed also and termed them as Hartman Grid. They found that neurological disorders and cancers are due to sleeping on the crossing of these lines . He worked out that there are certain energy fields on the Earth that are responsible for the healthy body or the diseased body. Hartman particularly collected the case studies, which showed that all the neurological problems are due to Earth energies and cross intersection of those lines. If people are sleeping on intersection of those energy lines, and particularly if some water stream is also passing through that crossing of lines, then that person will have neurological problems, or neurological disord ers. And if it is the only energy line that is crossing and the person is sleeping on that - whichever part is lying on that energy grid or the line crossing that will get affected negatively. To remain healthy, it is recommended to avoid using those cross-intersections of lines. As Hartmann said, problems are only due to sleeping on the energy lines, which we call as

'Marmasthan' in MahaVastu. However, Vastu Shastra goes into much more detail. Hartmann
developed certain methods to detect those Earth energ y lines and to avoid the intersections for sleeping and, you know, even if you puncture the intersections, the negative fields will be created and negativity will be there in the space. About 10000 years back, Vastu Shastra avoided the MarmaSthans , the sen sitive points. Hartmann was able to detect those Earth energy lines on the Earth only, but in MahaVastu we have those formulae to check the energy lines even in the built up space. In MahaVastu, these Natural Earth energy lines are used as carrier waves. We, as MahaVastu Experts, connect your space with the whole world, to manifest your desire - this is what VastuShastri Khushdeep Bansal discovered in the due course of his research. He says there is a purpose behind everything on Earth. The purpose of th ese energy lines, and the fields in their Grids ( Mandalas ) are meant to connect the whole world, and become complementary to fulfill each other's purpose.

Five Layered Human Being

A human being is part consciousness ( Atma - soul) wrapped in 5 layers known as Panchkosha in

Vedanta . The layers are Physical Body ( Annmaya Kosha ), Energy Body (Pranamaya Kosha), Mind Body ( Manomaya Kosha ), Intuition Body ( Vigyanmaya Kosha ), and Joy Body ( Anandmaya Kosha ). Anandmaya Kosha is part consciousness ( Atma ) carrying the core desire with a purpose to
manifest and experience joy. This innermost core body of one's being has a pure part of Universal Consciousness ( Parma Atma ) experienced as eternal joy or bliss. Other functions of th is Kosha (body) are co-creation like the Creator himself, peak experiences of super consciousness and sexual ecstasy (beyond normal sexual pleasures).

Vigyanmaya Kosha is the second innermost layer which is responsible for all the new knowledge and intuiti ve functioning of human beings. The other functions of Vigyanamaya Kosha are ordinary
awareness for day to day intuitive working, which facilitates you in deciding what to do next and how to do it. Only from this Kosha do you get intuitive solutions in int ense situations when the logical mind is not able to answer your questions. The natural function of healing inside the human body is also governed by this Kosha .

Manomaya Kosha is the domain of functions of the human mind. This is the central layer among the 5 Kosha . The function of this Kosha is primarily to receive information through 5 senses and process that information for manifestation of core purpose. Manomaya Kosha has 3 layers as
recognized by contemporary psychology. They are conscious mind, sub -conscious and super conscious state of mind. In Medical Science these states are studied in brain wave theory and known as Beta, Alpha, Theta and Delta states of brain activity. Through Yogic or Tantric meditations, awareness is expanded to Alpha, Theta and Delta brain wave patterns, where an ordinary human being falls asleep, that's when Alpha waves are activated in the brain. In an experiment EEG tests (Electro Encephalogram - an instrument used to record brain waves) were done while meditators were in med itative state. These EEG actually showed Alpha to Delta brain wave patterns even while those meditators were in fully aware state. The conscious state of mind is responsible for perception through the 5 sense organs and then taking action via the physical body to perform day to day functions. The sub-conscious mind receives information from the conscious mind and stores the complete information. In acute cases of emergency or through regular meditative practices the sub conscious mind receives knowledge fro m Vigayanamaya Kosha which is called sixth sense or intuition. The deeper sub -conscious or super conscious state of mind is when a person is aware at Theta and Delta brain waves. In this state of mind person gives instant healing or give some innovative outputs.

The Pranamaya Kosha is energy body depicted by Kundalini , sun and moon channels and 7 Chakras along the spinal column. Each one of the 7 Chakras is responsible for controlling different organs in the human body at conscious and sub -conscious levels of mind. When awareness is extended to the super conscious state then these Chakras open up to perceive the new realities of universe and start illuminating by healing all the body functions. In Yogic literature the level of illumination and opening of the se Chakras is the basis for measuring the evolution of an individual's mind and soul.

Annmaya Kosha is the outer most and physical form of a human being - that is the human body. The Annmaya Kosha is made up of 5 elements (Air, Fire, Earth, Space and Water) . It is nurtured and sustained by food ( Ann ), thats why this is called Annmaya Kosha . In Ayurveda disease is recognised as imbalance of tridosha - Vata (Air + Space), Pitta (Fire) and Kapha (Water + Earth)]. Through physical body the part consciousness ( Atma ) manifests the core desire to experience the
absolute joy. But due to the conditioning of social and academic environments a person gets programmed at the different levels of different Koshas . Thus making him experience pain and miseries. To manifest o ne's purpose on this planet, human beings create the structures in the form of buildings to perform certain functions. And these structures become the living or working environment for human beings. In the Hindu Alchemy of Space; pain, misery and blockages of mind are due to the deviation from the core desire of one's Anadamaya Kosha or soul. The living environments are either supportive to Manomaya Kosha and Pranmaya Kosha or the living environment also becomes responsible for negative conditioning and programming and thus, cause problems in one's life. In MahaVastu the points of blockages are recognised at the different layers of existence thus creating a way for human consciousness to manifest its core purpose.

Vastu Purush Mandala - Energy Fields

Every building is governed by energy -fields which are termed as Devtas , these comprise a vital element of MahaVastu. Man makes structures and buildings to perform certain funct ions in a building. As soon as space is enclosed, it starts behaving as a scaled down model of the Universe. Different energy -fields emerge automatically. These energy -fields react with human consciousness. They alter, blend and redirect consciousness as p er their own attributes. There are 45 such major energy -fields in a building that control and influence consciousness, and 980 minor energy -fields. These energy -fields are termed as Devtas in Sanskrit . The meaning of the word Dev is, 'the one who is self -Illuminating'. As per the property of the energy -field, their names were derived. In a building, the combination of 45 Devtas is called Vastu Purush Mandala the one who is carrying 45 energy fields is Vastu Dev . These 45 energy fields or Devtas are mentioned in detail in Vedas . The presence of these Devtas has been felt at a specific place in any building. Exactly the same form of energy (corresponding to a Devta ) gets developed in exactly the same portion/place/space, in a building, when it is constructed, forming a grid, which has been termed as Vastu Purush Mandala . It's really interesting to know the attributes of these fields. For example, Indra is Devta or presiding God of East and contains the power of controlling influence. Symbolically, Indra is considered as mind, the ruler of 5 physical senses. In a society, Indra represents the ruling power that connects and binds people together.

Yama is the God of absolute rest and power to bring any phenomena to completion. Completion of one's life on this planet is considered as death; so in Hindu Vedic philosophy Yama is perceived as the God of death also. Varuna is the observer and controller of worldly affairs, the presiding Devta of West. Gods of all the seas on Earth is also Varuna . He is responsibl e for creating the governing
protocols of the world.

Soma is a Vedic god of elixir of life and presiding Devta of North zone. He also has properties of healing and sexual power. Transformation of sexual energy in elixir is governed by Soma. Bhudhar carries the power to manifest. Aryama has the power to connect with the world in order to (find a mating companion to) sustain the process of evolution. Vivaswan controls the change, which in
turn, initiates (manifestation of) the whole existence.

Mitra , which has been invoked repeatedly in Atharvaveda , carries the power of holding the world together; and, Aapaha boosts your immune system. In Vedic literature Aapah is perceived as
power that is responsible for all the flows in Universe. Sometimes that very meaning comes very close to the flow of a river. So Aapah is responsible to preserve the flow of life by empowering the immune system. Now you can imagine, why you are the way you are! Hindus in the past clearly defined the attributes of these energy fields; they developed the art of perfect placement of different activities to experience the peak performance in their actions. Based on this understanding, they made temples to such a great precision so as to fulfill their wishes. VastuShastri Khushdeep Bansal believes that old Hindu temples are ideal examples of the application of the Alchemy of Space. The same knowledge tools are used in MahaVastu to solve problems or to achieve your targets.

MahaVastu Procedure Flow Chart

An outcome of successful application of MahaVastu on more than 10,000 case studies, this Flow Chart clearly guides you how to proceed 'Step - By - Step' in a practical case study. Starting from identification of problem, it guides you systematically how t o get the desired results. The most beautiful aspect is that it guides you what could be the probable reasons of not getting the desired outcomes from MahaVastu application and how to correct your working.

MahaVastu Bar Chart Method

VastuShastri Khushdeep Bansal has developed a scientific procedure to evaluate the strength of
each MahaVastu Zone. This procedure is known as the MahaVastu Bar Chart. Its purpose is to evaluate the strength of each MahaVastu Zone to understand the balanced and imbalanced states of zones, which are mainly due to a cut or an extension in a building. In modern architecture and contemporary life style development, it is not sure whether all the built up Spaces will be regular in shape. In many apartment buildings one will not find regular Square or Rectangular shapes. With the application of MahaVastu Bar Chart method, it is possible to apply MahaVastu with maximum accuracy and precision, irrespective of the shape of the floor plan. So it does not mean that one can't get benefits of Vastu . MahaVastu Tools and Techniques can be applied in each and every shape of buildings, whether they are regular or irregular. For application of MahaVastu Techniques to either solve the problems or to get the desired outcomes manifested, is very important to understand the strengths or weaknesses of the building space where one lives or works. Only then can one decide which areas of one's life need to be s trengthened or balanced. The MahaVastu Bar Chart method is also very important in deciding the procedure of the sensitive techniques like Space Surgery and Space Extension, which, if applied otherwise, can cause adverse results. As these techniques are li ke surgery on human body, they bring results very fast without making demolitions in a building.

MahaVastu Techniques
In total 16 MahaVastu Techniques are used to remove the Vastu faults in a building. These are very powerful and effective techniques, at the same time very easy to do. You can observe visible differences after application of these techniques. With the discovery of these techniques it has become possible to get desired Vastu solutions without demolitions.

1. Elemental Strip Technique

This technique involves use of colour strips to correct the imbalance of the 5 elements in a building. For this purpose, colour strips (3 - 4" wide) are painted or pasted (as stickers) either on the floor, or on the skirting along the floor, to balance or stren gthen the negatively affected Zone.

2. Space Surgery Technique

Space Surgery Technique uses the metals, related with a Zone. This technique proves to be very handy when it comes to rectification of bad effects of toilets and entrances without making any demolitions.

3. Space Programming with Symbols

The Space Programming Technique involves using specific Symbols to communicate our desires, aspirations and expectations to the Space in which we live.

4. Space Programming with Paintings

To help materialise you r desires, VastuShastri Khushdeep Bansal has developed an amazing technique of using Paintings and Photographs, in those Vastu Zones which depict your desires.

5. Space Programming with Sculptures

In this technique, we place specific 3 -D Artifacts and Scul ptures in different Vastu Zones, depending upon which aspect or part of our life we need or want to flourish.

6. Space Mantra Technique

This technique makes use of visual text commands to communicate with the space (and also sub conscious minds of occupant s of the Space) in order to draw their attention towards, and motivate them for a specific performance.

7. Activity Relocation Technique

Each of the 16 Vastu Zones has some particular activity, which is not only best performed in that zone, but which also strengthens that Zone. Any activity, other than which is conducive for the Zone, when performed, will weaken the strength of the concerned zone.

8. Enlightening Technique
By enlightening specific Vastu Zones with lights of appropriate colours , we can activate the Zone effects. So they can be used to stimulate or activate an imbalanced Vastu Zone and make it give results.

9. Amplifier Technique
Pyramids are a powerful tool which, when applied judiciously, can augment the positive effects of a Vastu Zone by 108 times.

10. Space Extension Technique

This technique makes clever use of mirrors to provide balance to a Vastu Zone. For the problems arising on account of a cut or reduced area, we can apply mirrors on that particular wall which is cut and needs to be extended.

11. Tattva Shuddhi

The Tattva Shuddhi Technique, basically, aims at correcting this elemental imbalance in the affected Vastu Zone. When an anti -element appears (in the form of incompatible colour, shape, or activity) in a Vastu Zone corrections are carried out.

12. Space Purifying Technique

This technique makes use of sea salt, minerals, and semi -precious stones which are needed when the space is dull or non -vibrant; or its inhabitants are feeling low.

The direction we face, while performing an activity greatly affects its outcome. So, Facing the Right Direction while doing a result -oriented activity helps achieve the desired outcome faster.

14. Plants
Plants represent growth; they have an activity of g rowth in themselves. So, plants can be used to accelerate growth in our life.

15. Marma Technique (with Remedies)

Vastu Shastra clearly mentions that there are certain sensitive or very sensitive points (called Marmasthan ) in the Space, which correspond to the sensitive body parts of the Vastu Purush . In
MahaVastu we use them creatively to rejuvenate Space energies.

16. Locating Power Point Technique

With the help of this technique you can easily identify such seating locations, which will ensure your succ ess during a negotiation; at least you never get to lose, sitting on such seats.

Space Programming using Power Symbols

While working with power symbols in MahaVastu Programming, you should be very cautious; they are the final finishing touches, to be perf ormed in the building, in order to complete the process of desired manifestation. Before applying power symbols, all the other steps must have been completed in your building.

First step, viz. balance of the five elements, should be completed Second, loca tion of the entrance should be analysed and corrected, if required, using MahaVastu Techniques; as only a correct entrance connects inner space of a building with the Universal Space. This is exactly like connecting a computer to the electric supply. Third, evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of Vastu Zones to understand the powers that are shaping your life situations. Without completing these three steps, the fourth step will not work per se. For application of power symbols in MahaVastu Programm ing, one must analyse the Kosha (among the Panchkoshas ) with which the problems are connected. Following are some of the power symbols, which when used judiciously, can completely transform your life:

Yaksharaj Kuber is the lord of wealth and guardian of all the treasures in the Universe. When
placed in the appropriate MahaVastu Zone, it creates new opportunities in your career and ensures the right money flow in your home.

By placing a brass Lion in the appropria te MahaVastu Zone of your home, the immediate change that your dear ones will notice is the strengthening of your personality and your presence becoming more gracious and powerful.

As per MahaVastu, the Sun represents the governing or ruling power. I t also helps you use your wisdom and skills to build relations that spread your glory, name and reputation all around. To create powerful effect, Sun should be hung in the East (E) MahaVastu Zones of your home.

As per the Puranic tales, Kamdhenu Cow was one of the 14 gems that were received when the gods and demons churned the oceans. When placed in the appropriate MahaVastu Zone, the

Kamdhenu Cow converts the energy responsible for contemplation, worry and inner conflict into
productive and fruitfu l action and assists you in fulfilling your wishes..

You can reap higher profits in business relationships at the right time, by placing a pair of black and white brass Rabbits in the East -South- East (ESE) MahaVastu Zones of your home.

Garuda is lord Vishnu's trusted mount and attendant. Lord Vishnu maintains the whole Universe
and Garuda functions as the tool of God in that. Garuda's form is that of an eagle in body with human head and hands. It is the combination of sharp foresight, action with human intelligence and consciousness. That is why, in MahaVastu this is used as a symbol to sharpen your skills to control your systems in a better way.

Swastika has been used in every ancient civilisation in some form or the other. It represents the basic frequency of the Universe. So, any space can be synchronised with the universal mind by merely drawing a Swastika there. By forming a S wastika in any Zone, we harmonise the Zone with the Universal Consciousness, spontaneously, thereby, facilitating the desired outcome.

The pair of Horses symbolises speed and white symbolises best quality. White horses placed in the appropriate MahaVas tu Zone of your house, improves your access to banks and financial institutions, and you get the best support from your bank for loans, or over -draft facilities. This MahaVastu remedy also ensures trust of your support systems in you and your company.

Chaupad enables you to perform master strokes every time, at the right time and at the right
place. It makes you a better player in your field by awakening your latent talents. You become smart enough to use all your resources, skill sets, knowledge, and available opportunities to hit the right targets.

Ashoka Pillar has been adopted as the official emblem of Government of India. Vastushastri
Khushdeep Bansal, for the first time, did a number of experiments with it as a MahaVastu power symbol. He found the Ashoka Pillar, placed in the appropriate MahaVastu Zone, guarantees government support. It also yields exceptional results in areas such as - government favours, promotions and recognition.
