What is Vasthu Sastra?
Vasthu Sastra, better known as Indian Feng Shui is an
ancient science of construction which is over 5,000 years old.

It can be used in modern times to achieve balance with
cosmic forces to attain harmony, good health, prosperity and
happiness.
What is Vasthu based on?
It is based on arrangements and balancing of the five
elements in their proper order and proportions.

It focuses on the placement of weights on the floor of a
property.
When is Vasthu required?
Vasthu consultation or rules must be observed when
purchasing or renting or designing a house.

It is highly recommended especially if you are facing
problems and challenges or disharmony at home or
place of work.
How fast does Vasthu work?
If you are already facing problems, benefits
could be noticed almost immediately if the
placement of things are followed 100%.
Otherwise you can see or experience the benefits
of Vasthu between three months to a year.
It all depends on the degree you observe Vasthu
recommendations.
Understanding Vasthu
Vasthu is not magic, superstition, religion or
religious ritual.

It does not work on a belief system and it is not a
question of faith but a fact of life.
