Vastu Principles Can Break the

Hoshiarpur / Daljeet Ajnoha/Nov.20 : From the design of our homes to the direction of our doors, every corner holds an unseen power — one that shapes our fortune, health, and state of mind. Internationally acclaimed Vastu expert and author Dr. Bhupendra Vastu Shastri believes that the harmony or disharmony in our surroundings often defines the quality of our lives. “The kind of energy a home radiates depends entirely on its Vastu. Good Vastu brings positivity, while bad Vastu traps people in negativity,” he says.According to Dr. Shastri, the increasing disregard for Vastu principles in modern architecture has pushed many towards a life of silent compromise. He explains that when any directional zone of a home becomes imbalanced, it begins to limit various aspects of life. For instance, a faulty northeast corner can cause obstacles in health, education, children, and wealth; a disturbed north limits career opportunities and prosperity; and imbalance in the northwest may bring debt, illness, and conflicts.He further notes that defects in the west sap vitality and reputation, while issues in the southwest lead to helplessness and a dual life. Problems in the south can weaken enthusiasm, property matters, and family ties, whereas a flawed southeast brings financial strain and marital discord. Even the east, when disturbed, impacts physical strength, fame, and worldly success.Dr. Shastri emphasizes that liberation from this pattern of compromise requires a holistic correction of one’s environment. Harmonizing internal, external, gross, and subtle aspects of Vastu, he says, can restore happiness, stability, and a sense of purpose. “If we ignore these energies, we keep making compromises not just with the world, but with ourselves,” he concludes.
