Dr.Shamsunder Dr. Shamsunder ( popularly known as Doctor to many of his friends and relatives ) is a pioneer in the area of Vaastu correction without demolition. Born into a family of Priests in Kollur in 1954, Dr. Shamsunder originally studied to become a veterinary physician and worked for Govt of Karnataka, Department of Animal Husbandry.

Doctor took to Vaastu correction with keen interest of alleviating pain and agony of the fellow colleagues, friends and relatives, who sought his help in solving their issues. Doctor himself was inspired by the astonishing results that the Vaastu yantra corrections provided. He plunged then to perform deeper research in to the subject.

He generates energy through Vedic symbols like Sri Yantra and Meru Chakra to nurse back a sick industry to create prosperity, to our homes to create peace and into our professions to create progress.

His methods are simple, easy to follow without much ritualistic procedures, as it is a science beyond any religion. His method ‘Vaastu without demolition’ is affordable even by a common man and does not disturb architectural aesthetics.

As per the research conducted by me and my team with respect to vaastu of the 5 elements. The most important element is space (Akasha tatva) element. Space is nothing but your place it could be your working area, home, office, factory, institution, hospital, godown, showroom, temple, production floor in factory or even agriculture fields. When I entered these places intuitively felt so good energies I felt very good in some houses, office, factories and similarly not so good in other place and very bad in certain places.

We observed that vaastu of the place is perfectly fine but vibrations were negative the feedback from the client were not good in spite of the place being in tune with vaastu it made me wonder, so I meditated and upon reading the energies of this place I found, negative energies were discharging from central portion of the Building. A close look and we found there was walls pillars, beams fire, furniture’s, toilet, staircases in the centre of the building, Where as there should have been a skylight or an atrium to trap the natural light and the sun energies but ironically it was not possible so we developed a technique to divided the centre of the building in 9 portions derive the B.E.M grids and fix the powerful energized yantras. These yantras are developed on the base of sacred geometry form Vedas.

The yantras fixed in these strategic points create positive energies. The results are noticeable people experienced better Health, Financial status, Name, Fame, Company reserves and Peace of mind.

Our ancestors observed that when we started building our houses, only some of them were more Happy, Healthy, Prosperous.

They were observing what could be the reason for such variation. What could be the factors that lead them to peace and prosperity or otherwise.

Few had peace and good relationship and their life was more meaningful filled with so much of happiness, security and peace.

So, they analysed that people who build houses on a particular shape had better health & peace and many good things happening.

While others were bit unhappy, not so Slowly they started observing & started healthy often the were fighting, being identifying the science of constructing aggressive & had very little peace, they and designing according to nature. were part of life problem and were so much helpless.

Vaastu

is considered an integral part of the Indian architecture, where ‘Vasa’ means ‘To live’.

From ancient literature, we gather that Vaastu was treated as the science of construction of temples and city planning at all levels including residential and commercial architecture.

FAITH: • The foundation of Vaastu rests on the faith that the Earth is a living organism • Earth gives birth to other living creatures.

• Each living creature is composed of the five elements.

• Any structure housing this creature must also contain the five elements in a balance.

• Vaastu guides us to attain this balance.

8

When a structure is built, it also contains live energy. The live energy or prana of a structure affects all the living and nonliving organisms within the structure.

The live energy of a structure depends upon • Cardinal Points • Natural Light • Air, Ventilation • Topography • Geometry • Five Elements

Solar System Living in harmony with nature and synchronizing your energies with the energies of nature is vaastu. Following few principles of nature during the construction of a residence, office, business place brings you very close to the energies of the Cosmos and the natural elements like sun, earth, wind, sky and water.

When the energies flowing in a place are positive, our life would certainly be very peaceful content and abundant, while negative energies can play havoc and disturb us totally.

The structures that are against nature disturb the positive energies and prohibit us from growth and peace. When we absorb these disturbed energies everyThese energies of a structure are a part day the outcome results in our life patand parcel of our life since we live and tern becoming stunted or dissatisfied. work in them every day for years together. We absorb these energies through- Human being himself is responsible for out the day and form a routine or a pat- this situation. tern of our life.

Dr.Shamsunder’s METHOD: To physically calculate the vaastu in a structure, one can begin with observing these: • ENERGY GRIDS, • PANCHAMAHABHOOTAS • BRAMHASTANA • DIRECTION & FUNCTION, • HEIGHT & WEIGHT, • SHAPE & ANGLE, • LEVELS & FREE SPACE, • RATIO, • STAIRCASE AND • ROADS ABUTTING THE SITE OF THE STRUCTURE. 10

• Each zone has to be deciphered separately within a given structure or space.

• An ideal structure reveals that the physically measured units, the five elements and the energy grids are independent for each zone.

• Concentrating on the whole structure alone will not provide a complete analysis.

• Once the space is analysed, Yantras can be fixed when there is a need for rectification or correction thus no breaking or demolition is required.

ENERGY GRIDS: These are imaginary lines alike the longitude and latitude.

Hartmann Grid • Dr. Ernst Hartmann, who discovered these grids or lines, depicted that they run north to south, as well as east to west, forming a checkerboard pattern.

• The grids measure between 3.5m to 5m based on the position from the equator.

Curry Grid • Dr. Manfred Curry discovered the Curry Grid • It runs diagonal to the Hartmann Grid • The Curry Grid is 3.5m to 3m apart.

Schumann Waves • Schumann waves are naturally occurring electromagnetic waves • Professor W.O. Schumann, a German scientist, found these waves have similar frequency as brain waves

Ley Lines • Ley lines are generally recognized as man-made phenomena.

• It occurs where “sacred stones”, which have somehow been charged energetically, are laid in a straight line.

Physical space is often conceived in three linear dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it, with time, to be part of a boundless four-dimensional continuum. It is an infinite multi-dimensional symphony of galaxies, solar systems, events, directions, time and energy.

In Yoga, universal consciousness is perceived in the form of sound.

The tangible universe, which we experience through our senses, and in the mind, can in this way be led back to the source, to the sound, to Vibrations.

In vaastu, harnessing the power of vibrations to create pleasant sounds is the first step of tuning oneself to nature.

When is Dr.Shamsunder’s vaastu correction without demotion required?

• When there is a need to clean the environmental energy and enhance positive energies.

• It is required when a space is missing positive energies.

• When the five elements are in an imbalance, there is a disturbance in the place. This causes the members residing in the place to also feel strange, unhappy and a joyless sensation.

• Due to an imbalance of the five elements, man is deprived of the benefits of positive Vibrations and Cosmic energies. Hence the negative energies engulfing our lives make it incomplete and meaningless.

• The negative energies can be experienced in the form of ill health, strained relations, disturbed peace & stress, lack of prosperity and finance, constraints, low quality of life, discontentment and complaints.

20

REMEDY: • The source of these positive energies is from cosmos.

• The major cosmic forces can be tuned with respect to 5 elements (air,water,fire,earth and space) that rule the directions and the positions.

• To create the positive energies it is vital to eradicate the negative energies.

• These negative energies can linger in buildings or structures for a long time and influence the current residents & events.

• There are specific yantras designed by Dr.Shamsunder that remove the negative energies called Dashamahavidya yantras. Refer page ...

• These yantras have to be fixed in appropriate directions to ensure that the positive cosmic rays are not drained out and the negative rays do not enter the premise.

There are four basic purposes of marma: 1) It removes blocks in energy channels.

2) It pacifies air and space elements, bringing it to its normal path 3) It creates physical, mental and emotional flexibility.

Dr.Shamsunder’s notes on Vaastu Purusha Mandala In ancient books, there is described a demon who is lying upside down with all the gods sitting on him and his head is at North East, his stomach is the bramhastana, his right arm is in south east and left arm is in northwest. His legs are shown in SouthWest zone. Which can be understood as: 1. The observations that are experienced by scientific community that it could be solar rays entering the earth’s atmosphere.

2. Earth rays flowing horizontally and vertically (BEM grids and Bio electro magnetic grids) 3. The rays intercepting and creating Ley Lines and Hartmann grids diagonally from North east to South west and North west to South East.

4. The meeting point of the three rays is called Marma points.

26

DIRECTION & FUNCTION: • To know where we have gone wrong and to know what is the exact problem we have to know the source of the problem. Unless we know and recognize exactly what is the problem, its reason; we cannot bring in remedial measures.

energized vaastu structure helps the occupants s to absorb the positive energy, thereby promoting good health, peace and prosperity.

• There fore it is essential to study these problems in detail with all the possibilities. Hence, let us study them one by one to know the role about each direction and be able to pin point the exact difficulty so that we can bring relief and over come the same.

The charts were represented usually in a square format with further divisions of space.

When placed as a plan, in the centre, they form the ninth zone also called Bramhastana.

There is a process involved to give space the necessary qualities within the form created. A space must have the criteria of life itself, thus the form becomes a living space. In its pure form, the study of space originates with understanding the proportions of the structure encompassing the space.

In Vaastu, or the science of Bio-engineering, the metaphysical aspects depend upon the quality of space, while the physical aspect of the quantity is the structure itself. The geometry of the structure is built with mathematics.

• Le Corbusier sought something specific, geometric precision and a simplification of measure: - a universality that he could apply as engineering and architecture. So he devised a workable unit of measurement, which he called the Modulor, or Golden Section. It was based on the height of a man with his arm upraised, and according to Le Corbusier, any structure based on multiples of this unit of measure would be beautiful and have a human scale.

• Le Corbusier created the Modulor following the steps of Vitruvius, Leonardo da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man, the work of Leone Battista Alberti, and other attempts to discover mathematical proportions in the human body and then to use that knowledge to improve architecture • Le Corbusier described the Modulor as a “range of harmonious measurements to suit the human scale, universally applicable to architecture and to mechanical things.

• He published the first edition of Le Modulor in 1948, followed by Modulor 2 in 1955. Le Corbusier used his Modulor scale in the design of many buildings, including Notre Dame du Haute and buildings in Chandigarh.

The Ten Wisdom Goddesses are originally associated with the myth of restoring the Vedic teaching, which through the process of time had fallen under the forces of decay and corruption. The Ten Wisdom Goddessess challenge us to look deeper.

The ten goddess have enormous powers to remove of all negative energies that affect our body, mind, Intellect, Finances, Relationship & Spirituality. Which is so essential to make our life beautiful.

k

ali

Goddess of Time Transformation

KALI : The root kal, from which the name comes, means “to count”, “to measure”, or “to set in motion”, hence “time”.

FORM : Sometimes Kali is portrayed as an old woman or a hag. Sometimes she is made to look frightening, like a demoness. Other times her face is very beautiful. Sometimes she has the face of playful young girl. Besides dancing, Kali may be standing or sitting.

88

MEDITATION : The more one seeks beauty on the outside, the more one will lose life. The more one seeks beauty within, the more one goes beyond death. This is also part of the symbolism of Kali.

Time is both creation and destruction.

To create one must first destroy. To bring the new into being, one must first let go of the old.
