Christmas is for Christians as Diwali is to Hindus – the most awaited festival of the year. It is the time to clean and decorate the house, exchange gifts with friends and relatives, seek blessings from elders and prepare and distribute goodies.
Christmas, Vastu, Feng Shui

Why not apply Vastu principles to prepare for this Christmas? Here is what I recommend you to do.

After you have re-painted the house and cleaned it perform a space clearing ritual. Dissolve a lump of rock salt in water and mop the floor of the apartment with this salt water. Take some camphor in a bowl, burn it and walk along the sides of each room of the house thereby allowing the space to be filled with the fragrance of camphor. Before performing these two steps, you can repeat a positive affirmation – “By performing this space clearing ritual, my house is freed from all negative energies and full of positivity. All the inmates of the house are leading a healthy, harmonious and prosperous life this Christmas and the full year ahead.”

Space clearing ritual removes all negative energies from the space and it can be performed even if you have not re-painted the house on Christmas. Along with re-painting and space clearing do not forget to remove all clutter from the house.
Christmas, Vastu, Feng Shui

Once you have cleaned the house and the space within, you can now proceed to decorate it with bright colors and décor.

Use fresh flowers to decorate the house. Take a bowl filled with water and let colorful flowers float in it along with floating candles. Light up the entrance with lanterns, candles and lamps.

Place a turtle family (for harmony), green colored dragon for career luck, a figurine of running horses (for success) and an elephant figurine for wisdom, and a set of three Chinese coins (for prosperity) in the living area of the house where you plan to receive your guests during Christmas. All these feng shui cures are available in the market in different price ranges. Just remember, the richer they look the better results they give. Buy the ones which your wallet permits.

For performing Christmas prayers choose a room which is located in the north-east of the house and face North or East while praying.

I have written this article, much ahead of Christmas, to ensure its maximum reach. Feel free to share the link with friends and relatives.

God Bless you on this Christmas and always

Flowers and Feng Shui

October 12th 2009 23:29
Fresh flowers bring luck and fortune. Place fresh flowers in your living room and in your office. They have the ability to uplift your mood by their beauty and fragrance.

Feng Shui and Flowers


Feng Shui recommends that you change the flowers once they start to die. I have seen many people use dry flowers to decorate their home. In Feng Shui, dry flowers are believed to bring misfortune and hence should be avoided. In case you find it difficult to maintain fresh flowers, artificial flowers are a far better option than dry flowers and they are believed to bring luck.

Couples wishing to increase their family should avoid placing fresh flowers in their bedroom, a basket of fruit especially pomegranate is a potent symbol of fertility.
FengShui and Flowers
Similarly feng shui suggests that you avoid placing any fresh flowers in the bathroom as this will result in the good luck back firing and turning into bad luck.

Similarly avoid placing flowers which come with thorn as a décor, if you just love roses, chip off the thorns before placing it in your living room or office.

Happy Birthday Indusguru

September 8th 2009 12:04
With the active patronage of you, I am pleased to celebrate the third anniversary of the now famous blog www.indusguru.com.
Happy BirthDay Indusguru

In these three years the blog has moved from the absolute bottom to the top 20 of the Orble Network. Indusguru now has more than 4000 hits and 1500 unique visitors a day. This is no mean feat considering that the topics covered are not so hot when compared to Hollywood and Celebraties. Moreover, topics like Astrology, Vastu and Feng Shui are searched less often than some of the current affairs topics related to international politics and sports.

By this post I thank the Orble Network, all the subscribers to this blog and my readers who come in hoards through Search Engine to visit and read my blog daily.
Happy BirthDay Indusguru
I have posted on this blog, in the last three years, sometimes thrice a week and sometimes once a month and have been able to share my knowledge by way of more than 200 articles.

I 100% enjoyed your interactions, comments and suggestions and hope to get the same and more support from my readers.

Thanks and Three Cheers

Saturn is transiting to the Vrgo Sign on September 9, 2009 and will stay there for the next 30 months (2.5 years). This movement of the Planet will effect almost all human beings on this earth to some extent. Some will be benefitted and some will get flustered. This post is the 2nd in the 4 part series where I predict using Vedic Astrology the effect of Saturn's Transit on the Moon Signs - Cancer, Leo and Virgo.

Saturn is moving from Leo to Virgo on 9-9-9 causing several changes in lives of all humans on the earth. Saturn a slow moving planet, known as “shani” in vedic astrology. It takes two and half years to move from one sign to other. Saturn in a positive way indicates spiritual life, meditation, concentration, longevity, law and judgment. It is the guardian of the mysteries of true awareness, also gives detachment and independence.
Saturn Transit 2009

A negative Saturn indicates misfortune, poverty, loss, obstruction, hindrance in self expression, separation, depression, disease and increased worry, fear & anxiety. As the slowest moving planet its influence is to delay, to hold the developments. It takes away vitality on a physical or a mental level. It plays an important role in disease like chronic ailments of old age, arthritis and cancer

Happy Birthday!! Lord Ganesha

August 19th 2009 21:12
Lord Ganesha is the most prominent deities in Hinduism. His name is always invoked before any other God’s name in any prayer ceremony held by Hindus. Lord Ganesha is the son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. Ganesha is the only son of a God who is also worshipped with that prominence. The name Ganesha means Chief of all servers (Shiva’s servers).

Lord Ganesha is considered to be the Lord of intellect as he penned the Indian epic Mahabharata on the request of its author – Sage Ved Vyas. Lord Ganesha is the remover of all obstacles in life and salutation to Him helps the devotees to overcome all obstacles in career, relationships, health and plans.

Significance of 9/9/09

August 3rd 2009 21:45
9/9/9 like other dates in this series is a once in a century occurrence. The number 9 has a specific significance in Bible and also in Vedic Scriptures. Some analysts and thinkers have stated that 9 is a number of death and so one should expect untoward incidents on this date. However, both the Bible and Vedas have different and more positive interpretation of this number 9.
Significance of 9/9/09

Nine has a special significance in Mathematics as the sum of digits of numbers derived from multiples of 9 are themselves always a multiple of 9. In Vedic scriptures the number 9 represents God and God times anything is always God

Vastu Purush has his head toward the North East and that is what is shown the picture.

However, ideally Vastu purush is believed to be resting on the earth on his stomach while in the picture he is resting on his back.

Both images are available and as long as the directions are not effected it should not make any difference

But principally you are right

It is for Moon Sign Capricorn. However, I still suggest an astrological reading before a final decision

Based on what I understand from your description, the mirror must have a reflection of you when you are sleeping, Is that correct. If so cover it when sleeping

on Mirror on the side of the bed brings good luck

Dear Shilpa

Solution is to cover it by a curtain and open the same only when you want to use it.

Alternatively you can creat a partition between the mirror and bed as depicted by W in the figure above.
