| | |  Feng Shui - Overview: Encyclopedia II - Feng Shui - Overview

| | |  Feng Shui - Overview: Defective Main DoorwaysVastu Shastra One of the most important rules to be followed is not to have a marshy land across the maindoorway of the house.

| | |  Feng Shui - Overview: Reinterpreting Vaastu In India we must be grateful that the core beliefs, theoretical rigour and application of the Vaastu Shastras are still available, though in a depleted form. From the study of texts, dialogues with practitioners and field application of the concepts I have been able to reconstruct the overview of the Vaastu Shilpa Shastras and give a guideline for present day application. There is a great deal of resistance and deep feelings of distrust from the trained designers in the 'modern institutes toward the assumptions and symbolism of the traditional paradigm. It is almost as if they feel threatened that their hegemony would be displaced. Are their fears valid? Is the basis of the Vaastu Shastras questionable in its present day application? Is it a meaningless mumbo jumbo in the 'scientific climate of today? Read more here: » Vaastu Shastra: Reinterpreting Vaastu |

| | |  Feng Shui - Overview: Role of DestinyVastu Shastra: Role of Destiny All the defects, blasphemy and curses by sages on the house site should be expiated by performing suitable purification ceremonies and worships before one attempts to start the construction work of a house on such a site. Maya, the celestial architect, had explained the easy ways and means of identifying the nature of the soil.
