Life Is a Celebration, but Vaastu Shastra Makes It More Harmonious (EXCLUSIVE)

 

"Armedia" IAA presents an exclusive interview with Chhayyaa Goyal, world-renowned Vaastu Acharya-Expert with more than 20 years of experience.


In India Vaastu Shastra is a very respected science like Feng Shuy in China. Please describe, what is Vaastu Shastra, what is it about?

- Vaastu Shastra is a science of living, living in a harmony with nature. Many thousand years we were living close to the nature but during the recent times we have forgotten its laws. When I say nature, I mean its 5 elements. We call it God Bhagavan where "bhu" is earth element, "ga" is gagan – space, "va" is vayu – air, "a" is agni – fire, "na" is neer – water. So everybody is made of these 5 elements. When there is imbalance in our body, we fall sick. This has been observed over thousands of years of research, though this is a divine science. It is not known who discovered it, who invented these laws, no. It has been through words only, it was like guru is teaching to the student.

Whenever there is imbalance of these 5 elements in any building, the body also falls sick. It is said, our thoughts are the product of space we are occupying. Thoughts impact our body and we are having different kinds of feeling, maybe positive, maybe negative. And over the period of time the thoughts are disturbed and sickness in the body starts. So Vaastu Shastra works at the root level. What we do, we simply balance the space we are occupying and we balance the ratio of these 5 elements: water, air or wood, fire, earth, space or metal. So we balance these 5 elements in any building. When it is balanced, it is harmonious with nature, starts creating and giving you positive vibes and you start getting good insights, become wise.

 

How did you come to Vaastu Shastra and made it part of your life?

- It has been observed that this thing comes from your past lives, whether you believe in it or not but whatever you get in this life, you’ll not carry any materialistic belonging with you. But you’ll carry to your next life your knowledge and wisdom. If you have been learning something in your past life, then you have natural interest in that subject. When I was 21 years old, one fine day I read an article in a newspaper on Vaastu and I was instantly able to relate to the wisdom described in that article. I’m a postgraduate in Maths, I have Master’s degree in Business Administration, I have other academic degrees as well but Vaastu was my calling maybe from my past lives. So I started getting involved in this. When I visited any place I used to observe the place directions, placement of objects with the directions. As we know, there are 4 directions: North, South, East, West. There are also 4 sub-directions: North-East, South-East, North-West and South-West. But now I work in 16 directions.

In Vaastu the solution should be some kind of demolition – break this from here and shift it to other place. So I started from that practice which is a traditional practice. But it is not practical in today’s scenario when we live in small houses, apartments. What to do when the building is already constructed wrong, which is not in compliance with the law of nature? If people don’t complain, they fell happy there, then we don’t do anything. But if someone is mentioning any problem, then we advise maybe some colour change, change of bedroom, placing something below fire, i.e. gas-stove, which will balance the situation and totally convert the bad experience into good experience.

So the calling was from just observations, seeing people suffering from problems, and I felt that I should help them. So I learned Reiki as well. But Reiki is again a constant thing, you have to constantly give healing energy to the patient. Till the time you are giving this healing, the person is getting the benefit. As soon as you stop the healing, the problem is back. So there has to be something better where we can actually help them for a longer period. So again I recalled to Vaastu, that – let me balance the space. If the space is balanced, any of the sciences, any of the healing modalities, even allopathic medicines are going to work better. So I started from my own home, my relatives’, my friends’ homes. And when I saw the change there, I kept studying. There is so many literature on this but majority is in Sanskrit. What we see in Google, it has been derived and everyone has his own interpretation. Gradually I found and developed certain principles and I found that just balancing the space is a beautiful thing to help someone in business. So this was my motivation – helping people. That’s why I am here.

 

-  What is the connection between Indian Vaastu Shastra and Chinese Feng Shuy? What is the difference/similarities between them?

- I’m not biased at all when I say that Feng Shuy has been emerged from Vaastu itself.

 

But the Chinese say that it is their own science which exists for 4000-5000 years.

- Of course, they have their own literature to support their version, and we have our own experience to support our version. So there is not a conflict as such. Both are basically to help the mankind and to teach them to live in harmony with nature. The only difference what I feel is that Vaastu is vast, has huge detailing while Feng Shuy is not having that kind of detailing, and we see there also so many symbols which are taken from Vaastu or Indian scripts and idols. E.g. Laughing Buddha. Lord Buddha was born in India but we don’t use this idol in Vaastu.

Vaastu does the programming of your subconscious mind. What is in your subconscious mind you start attracting that. In Feng Shuy they’ll tell you – Laughing Buddha attracts wealth, harmony in the family, turtle with coins on its back – wealth. So Feng Shuy is more about programming your subconscious with these objects. In Vaastu we also use objects. E.g. horse is the symbol of power, speed. So placing it in a specific area in the office the business will grow faster. It is also mode of transport so it’ll take you to the next level of success.

Vaastu is programming your subconscious by balancing the 5 elements in your space. It is aligning your space with nature so you get proper sunlight. Morning sunrays are very healthy which the scientists have also proved. So your home’s East side should be open. West part should be covered of sunset radiation because they are not healthy. So in India we have made houses that they get maximum morning sunrays and minimum or no afternoon and evening sunrays. We have a kitchen in the South-East part where sun gives its rays from 10:30am till 2:30pm. This time our kitchen gets maximum sunrays so there is no development of bacteria or viruses. So everything is completely scientific.

The bedroom should be in South-West. Why? Because we have to relax, get a proper rest, we have to connect ourselves with the earth. There is maximum earth magnetic force so you get maximum recharge when you are sleeping.

 

Specialists say that when you are sleeping your head should be in the East. What says Vaastu in this regard?

-  The first option is South. This is again because of the magnetic rays. Our head is considered to be the North of the body. So we place it in the South and North-South poles get balanced, and we get the maximum good sleep. The second option is East, the third is West and totally "NO" for the North.

 

Now let’s go to some examples. In one house all are sick. What can be the problem and what can be done?

-  In my practice I always start with land energies. There are earthquake zones, tectonic disturbances, underground waters, drill work. Whoever sleeps in such areas, gets sick. This is one.

Second, the structure is not good, it is not in harmony with nature. Out of 360˚there is around 66˚area which is not healthy for long time use. If a person constantly uses that area, it’ll make him sick because that area is mostly meant for disposal activities.

Third, internal part. There are certain colours which are not advisable in certain directions because they can cause imbalance of 5 elements. Since in our ready apartments we can’t change the direction of rooms, kitchen, washroom that’s why we balance the space by using some colours, objects, implants. Implants are rods, pipes, pyramids made of copper or plastic, filled with 24-30 elements. Even there were cases of cancer when such implants were put and there has been significant improvement in health.

 

What color should be the bedroom, office?

- There is no fixed rule. It depends in which direction your bedroom is. That requires a detailed study: measuring the space, dividing its layout into 4, 16, and 84 directions. Entrance door is also very important, that from which degree we are entering the house. There are 32 entrances and every entrance has a different impact. From 32, 9 are very good – money giving. In the office in the fire direction you can paint the wall orange which gives energy to work, gives fame with not much effort. Swastik image on the wall gives positive energy, balances the energy of the space, nullifies negative energy.

 

There are people who paint their room black or their bed sheets are black…

- That is not advisable. We don’t use black color, it makes you gloomy and sad.

 

Now another example: there are 2 identical houses, placement, layout are the same, but in one people are happy and in the other – sad. What is the problem?

- That is because of interior and placement of objects.

 

What advice would you give to our Armenian readers?

- The main advice is: eliminate or discard what you are not using, keep the house as practical as possible for circulation of energy; don’t keep multiple trashes at the whole house because where it is kept, it’ll just dispose the benefits of that direction; avoid keeping junk in multiple places, keep everything organized because organized space gives organized thoughts; and use light, neutral colors – bege, ivory, cream, white. If they’ll not give benefit, they’ll not give negative also.

Vaastu Shastra is just optimizing the benefits of the beauty called life. Vaaastu Shastra helps celebrate your life. You can enhance the quality of your life by the help of Vaastu. When we say – life is a celebration, so Vaastu makes it more harmonious.
