Vaastu Shastra

Is there any GOD? You may be wondered why I am asking this question! But, it’s a fact that none of us has ever seen the god. Then why do we believe in his existence? Just once wouldn't you love for someone to simply show you the evidence for God's existence? No arm-twisting. No statements of, "You just have to believe." If a person opposes even the possibility of there being a God, then any evidence can be rationalized or explained away. It is like if someone refuses to believe that people have walked on the moon, and then no amount of information is going to change their thinking. Photographs of astronauts walking on the moon, interviews with the astronauts, moon rocks... all the evidence would be worthless, because the person has already concluded that people cannot go to the moon.

When it comes to the possibility of God's existence, the Bible says that there are people who have seen sufficient evidence, but they have suppressed the truth about God. 1 On the other hand, for those who want to know God if he is there, he says, "You will seek me and find me; when you seek me with all your heart, I will be found by you." 2 Before you look at the facts surrounding God's existence, ask yourself, If God does exist, would I want to know him?

For the last two decades, public interest in Vaastu Shastra has been increased steadily. There’s always a debate on the subject of VAASTU in the construction Industry. Some people do believe in Vaastu and some doesn’t. As a matter of fact, it’s really a bit confusing that one should believe it or not? Articles in newspapers and magazines against and in favor of Vaastu Shastra are creating big confusions. Some new professionals are advertising regularly through various mediums for the consultation of Vaastu Shastra and Feng Shui. These VAASTU EXPERTS are the people who are trying to prove their own viewpoint by ruining the genuine subject. Professionals say that Vaastu is an Ancient Science, where others say it’s just a fab of the modern society which doesn’t have any scientific base. But this is only about the professionals. For a common man, it’s not easy to find out the truth.

Since the humans became civilized, construction of own house is a dream for every common man. But in this professional cat fight, it seems very-very difficult for him to decide that either he should follow the Vaastu Rules or not!

A registered and well-recognized Social Organization “Andha Shraddha Nirmulan Samiti” has been running the movement of superstitious belief eradication for about the last two decades, especially in Maharashtra and also in Gujarat, Bihar, M.P. and many other states of India, under the auspices of the able leadership and guidance of Prof. Shyam Manav. In fact, modern society knows the value of science and enjoys all the privileges of it, but regretfully, it rarely accepts the scientific vision. It is the naked truth that without liberating the masses from superstitions, social progress is impossible. Knowing the importance of science, Samiti has its aim to create and spread the scientific attitude and scientific outlook among the people. The Samiti has published a Book known as “Brahma Vaastu Shastra” in reply to various professionals on subject wherein they are trying to prove that the Vastu Shastra is out-dated and do not have any scientific base thereof.

The land is limited and population is increasing day by day. Therefore construction of multi-story buildings is a necessity now days. Actually the fact is; it’s not possible to construct each and every flat of a multi-story and multi ownership building strictly as per Vastu rules. But thanks to our ancient people who had searched a lot and provided us the remedies. For a little fever or cold, would you like to go through a long process of surgery? It’s an old saying that you’ll saw what you reap. Human beings are always over powered by firm beliefs, but in reality we are always hesitant to accept anything unless it is proved scientifically. As such Vastu Shastra should not be singled out. Everyone knows that proper and timely maintenance of body gives good health whereas sincere hard work leads to prosperity and wealth. Reasonably educated people should not find it difficult to take appropriate decisions with clarity.


With the passage of time, life is changing very fast due to social and economic reforms. With scientific answers, the firm beliefs are either getting diluted or deleted day by day. Advance technologies are giving more clarity to every one; with the result it is possible for anyone to examine the proofs or beliefs clearly at his own.

This blog is not in favor or against Vastu Shastra; as it will always remain a debatable subject. It is to suggest that one should be very clear in mind that what is honestly acceptable to him. I assure you all that if you are clear at your own, you are able to eliminate the confusion, at least up to some extent. Best of luck!
