: Is Vastu shastra for the followers of Hinduism?
: No. The Indian rishis and munis invented Vaastushaastra for all those living on the earth, it is equally applicable to all belonging to any religion, cult or breed.

: The earth encircles the sun and spins on its own axis, i.e. it is not stable. What is the utility of Vastu in such a condition?
: It is right that the earth revolves on its axis and encircles the sun too. Our whole universe is also running towards infinite in the Milky Way very fast. Many carriages of a train am on the rail simultaneously. All the luggage in the carriages is stable while they are in motion. If suddenly the speed is either reduced or increased the luggage is disturbed. Similarly, the earth is also revolving on its axis with a uniform speed from the beginning. All the fixed things on its surface are stable. The basis of the Vastu shastra is omnipresent five elements, viz. earth, water, fire, air and sky. To construct a house and decorate it as per these five elements is called Vastu.

: How does a layman know whether his house is as per Vastu or not?
: Suppose your life is smooth, peaceful and business is good. When you change the residence and life becomes miserable, peace is disturbed, loss in business, face health problems then it clearly suggests that the new-house or renovation of old one is not as per Vastu.

: If in spite of Vastu defects life is happy and peaceful even than the removal of Vastu defects is required?
: No. It is true that when the fortune is favourable and strong Vaastu defects are not felt. But when the fortune is not favourable then Vastu defects become strong and disrupt the life. As long as fortune is favourable there is no need to make any changes in Vaastu. We visit our doctor only when we fall ill. A healthy person does not go to see his doctor. When day to day life is disturbed then only the removal of the Vastu defects should be done.

: Does Vastu affect men and women separately?
: Yes. As per Vastu east of the north east, north of the north-east, west of the north-west and west of the south­west represent region of man. South-east, south, south of the south-west and north of the north-west represent woman. All the other directions of Vastu affect them equally.

: Do east-facing or north-facing plots are as per Vastu?
: No. All the four directions are natural. Construction can be carried out facing any one direction as per Vastu. But as per Vastu much open space should be left in the north and east directions to get more advantage of morning vital sun rays. Less open space should be left in the south and west directions to avoid contact with the negative rays of the sun afternoon. That’s why there is no ample parking space in front of the south and west facing houses. East and north-facing plots are therefore rated better.

: Is Vastu applicable to the residents of ground floor only?
: Residents of ground floor are affected by Vaastu 100% because this is related to the earth. Underground water source, gardens, main gate, high and low of the ground and shape of the ground are all on the earth. The effect of the earth on Vaastu decreases as the height increases. It is only 80 to 90% effective on 8′!l-9lh floor approximate.

: Can Vastu defects be eradicated by the Chinese Vastu shastra-Feng Shui?
: Yes. Principle of the Feng Shui says that if there is a problem there is solution. But it is applicable to eradicate very small Vastu defects only.

: What is the similarity between Indian Vastu shastra and Chinese Feng Shui ?
: There are different systems of medicine, e.g. Ayurved, Allopathy, Homeopathy and Unani etc. with only one aim, i.e. to keep the human being healthy. Similarly, Indian Vastu shastra and Feng Shui are the old art of coordinating between shape, proportion and direction of a building, its surroundings with the environment.

: Are the principles of Vastu shastra and Feng Shui applicable in India and China only respectively?
: No. The principles of Vastu shastra and Feng Shui are based on the sun rays and magnetic rays flowing on the earth, which are not affected by man-made borders of the countries.

: Can Vastu shastra and Feng Shui both be applied simultaneously in one Vastu?
: Yes. The simultaneous application of Vastu shastra and Feng Shui is much advantageous. Both should be applied under the advice of experienced and learned Vastu consultants.

: How does Vastu affect more than one property of the same person?
: If a person owns more than one properties then the Vastu of property he uses for his residence and business purposes affects his life. The property, which he has given to others, will affect its users. If a property, which is not in any use affects the owner only.

: How does Vastu affect more than one business premises of the same person?
: If a businessman possesses more than one business premises, then he will enjoy all the advantages of the business premises which is as per Vastu. Bui He will have to face the disadvantages of all the Vastu defects present in other business premises.

: In our country houses are small. Maximum people live in such houses where one or two rooms are shared by all the family members. In such a case what should be the solution?
: It is auspicious to decorate a small house or one room house treating it as single Vastu as per Vastu, i.e in the south-east region of the room health should be kept, water should be kept in the north-east angle and almirah should be kept in the south-west zone. Please read article entitled “Interior Decoration of One Room and Vaastu” in the book “Interior Decoration Vaastu and Feng Shui” by this author.

: Young family member goes out of the house, in other city to study. Will the Vastu defects of his house affect his career?
: No. Wherever that young person lives in other city the Vaastu of that place or room will affect his career.

: Does tying a cow or planting tulsi in front of the house eradicate Vastu defects?
: Not at all. Due to its utility the cow is treated as mother. To tie cow, to apply the cow dung on the courtyard and to wash the house with cow urine are all our religious faiths. Similarly, due to its medicinal. properties tulsi is worshipped. This is also our religious faith. Vastu shastra is a science. Hence there is no advantage in applying any religious faith to eradicate Vaastu defects.

: In a house constructed as per Vastu, can Vastu defect originate per se?
: Many changes occur around us on their own. These sometimes create Vastu defects even in a house constructed as per Vaastu. For example, small plants in the north-east zone of a house when grow become big trees then they start obstructing vital morning sun rays. It becomes a significant Vastu defect. If a highway or a bridge is constructed in the north or east and a big drain is constructed in the south or west of the house it creates a Vastu defect. So there are many factors that may create Vastu defect in a house constructed as per Vastu.

: Is there any use of erecting Vastu defect prevention machine?
: Not at all. There is no mention of any such machine in any book published on Vastu shastra from the first book to any book till 1995. This Vastu defects prevention machine has been invented by some greedy Vastu consultants to plunder innocent people. It is created by charging very high price. It does not give even 1 % relief.

: Is there any machine available to search Vastu defects?
: No. The rishi-munis, who invented Vastu shastra did not create such a machine. There is no description of such a machine in any old Indian or Chinese book. Some Vastu consultants use “Lacquer Antenna” machine to detect Vaastu defects. By doing so they simply plunder people as this machine is basically used to measure energy of environment and human system.

: Can we eradicate Vastu defects ourselves by merely reading a few books on the subject?
: No. Vastu shastra seems very easy while reading but very difficult when applied. Only a few general Vastu defects can be removed by reading some books but significant Vastu defects can not be eradicated. People with shallow knowledge can not even differentiate between general and significant Vastu defect. Hence it  is recommended to consult an able and learned Vastu consultant.
