urgent: relevance of vaastu vidya in kali yuga
Hare Krishna beloved and esteemed gurudeva,
Please accept my humble obeisances,
All glories to Srila Prabhupada,
What is the relevance or importance of vaastu vidya in Kali Yuga? What did Prabhupada said about that?
HpS - ASA --- AGTSP!!! Paoho. I don't remember any specific comments by Srila Prabhupada. I think there is a little section in the SB. Prabhupada told us to sleep with our heads East or South as we heard, and the same thing is there in the SB. Alll these, Vastu, Ayur, Danda, Gandharva Veda are practical arts as we become purified and learn how to use their subtle influences.
We have to make a water well in Govardhan so we hired an expert, and he marked us the best location to make it because there is where most of the underwater is. But some devotees say that according to vaastu if we make the water well in that location the women in the community are going to become mad and many inauspicious things are going to happen, so they say we have to make it in another location, but in the best location according to vaastu, the water expert can not assure us that we are going to get water.
So what is your opinion about this, is really vaastu that powerful in the present moment, shall we really take that in serious consideration, or just follow the experts advice and focus in having good sadhana and service mood towards devotees?
Thank you so much for your answer gurudev,
At your lotus feet,
Nikunja Bihari Das.
HpS - I don't know. I know that half of Gadadhara Das' book on Vastu, he is BIG German expert, is about Correcting Vastu defects.
Water should be in North West Corner, but the slant of the land can change that.
One trick is to put a strong fence around the well area and put the well in the North Easter corner of THAT piece of land. Another, pump the water out from the Southwest or wherever but them send it by pipe to the North East before you extract it. Follow Vastu if you can, but if not then Krsna will adjust.
