Influence of Five Elements

Influence of Five Elements

The causative nature of the five elements: Water, Air, Fire, Earth and Space are the key to the study and practice of MahaVastu™.

The foundation of MahaVastu™ is Sankhya Darshan (Indian Metaphysics), which is the basis of all Indian sciences like Yoga, Ayurveda, Tantra and many more.
The entire Universe whether it is stars, planets, moons, or any form of life, is made up of these five elements. In buildings each direction is dominated by one element – a balanced state being the cause of positive, and an imbalanced state the cause of negative effects.

It is the balance or imbalance among these Panchtattva that makes one’s Space a virtual heaven or hell.

An underground water tank in South Zone will cause anxiety, fire-accidents, restlessness and disturbed sleep. Similarly, the fire placed in North Zone (Zone of Water) will block new opportunities, receipt of payments and lack of orders, as they are attributes of this Zone. So here in these examples, you can see how an imbalanced state of elements in a building creates problematic real-life situations.

Water

It is associated with conception of new ideas, clarity of thoughts, creation of new vision, flowing of new opportunities in your life, healing energy, immunity and restoration of health. Water dominates the North direction in buildings.

Balanced State
When Water is in balanced state in a building, the people in such buildings are able to see the larger picture of life. Though their attitude towards life becomes spiritual and philosophical they are at the core, essentially worldly beings.

Air

Air represents growth in your life. It is also associated with movement, especially rotational movement, so it brings refreshment, fun, joy and happiness in life. This element dominates the East. The Chinese call it the Wood element.

Balanced State
Air gives you the courage to try new things, take risks for your growth and to explore your inner-self. You get to meet people who pave the way for your growth and you perform impressively.

Fire

Fire is the driving force behind all life processes and thus is equated with money in modern era. It can transform your life with confidence and enthusiasm. South is the direction of Fire.

Balanced State
In its balanced state, Fire brings you fame and recognition among the masses. It gives you zeal, power, strength, confidence and money, which become the driving force behind life and its processes.

Earth

Mother Earth gives stability, balance, infinite patience and maturity in character are imbued by this element. Earth dominates the center and diagonal directions in every built-up Space.

Balanced State
When balanced, this element induces stability in your life – be it your career, behavior, relationships, or results of your efforts. It encourages towards a feeling of peace and harmony with the entire world – especially with those related by blood.

Space

Space represents expansion, enhancement, extension, spread, communication and even thought process (Mental Space). Space dominates the Western direction. The Chinese call it the Metal element owing to perfect space configuration in metals (Atomic Structure).

Balanced State
In a balanced state, Space gives you the charge of your destiny. It gives you a sense of direction and the ability to get organized, ensuring that you excel in all that you do. Space gives you the knowledge and awareness to understand new, creative and beneficial ideas.

Symbols

Symbols are the formulator (sutradhar) of the conscious and the sub-conscious mind. And man has had this innate knowledge from the very beginning, right with the creation of the world. According to linguists, development of language has taken place from symbols only. Symbols are an integral part of human life and mind, even today.

The human sub-conscious mind understands only the language of symbols. The expansion of sub-conscious mind is in two domains-first the sub-conscious mind and second the inner space of a building. Human mind evolves from the Space where he lives-the space inside the building. The philosophy of MahaVastu™ believes-Bhawna (emotion and intention) is the daughter of Bhavana (building). Emotion and intention are the driving forces of your life.

CPU Analogy

The analogy of computers serves best to understand the process of both the conscious and sub-conscious mind. Conscious mind is the monitor and sub-conscious mind the CPU (Central Processing Unit). The CPU works according to the information registered on the monitor. It does not perform any analysis on its own. The language of CPU is altogether of a different type. Ninety-five percent of regular computer users do not know that language; though, it is used for programming of computers. A computer program is like a set of instructions, written in that particular language. Similarly, the conscious mind gathers information through the five senses (Eye, Ear, Nose, Tongue, Skin), visuals through the eyes in form of paintings and colours, sounds in the form of music or noise through the ears and touch from textures through skin. Different objects in the external world create the complex language for the sub-conscious mind. Information picked unknowingly by the sub-conscious mind creates the life you live. Understanding of this language and using it to manifest the life you desire is the basis of MahaVastu™ Programming.

Symbols ‘Speak’ to us

When placed in a building, a symbol represents something – it says something to our sub-conscious mind, which then begins to act accordingly. This activates the natural Earth energies to generate a specific effect towards the fulfillment of our desires – once these energies sense our desires, they program our sub-conscious mind accordingly and thus set us moving towards the achievement of our goals.

Thus by placing an appropriate symbol in the appropriate MahaVastu™ Zone related to our wish, we can program our Space for its fulfillment. For example, for a loving relationship with your spouse, put a symbol of Love Birds in the MahaVastu™ Zone of Relationship. Your Space will get to know what you want and you and your spouse will sub-consciously start behaving in a manner conducive for a cordial and loving relationship between the two of you. Thus, helping us read into the symbolic messages from the Universe; and take the desired steps to convey our wishes to the Universe through the use of symbols and objects – is what makes MahaVastu™ unique.

Law of Universe

Law of Universe

The Law of Universe is: the world is created out of the experience of joy. The Universe is conscious and full of joy. The Hindu Alchemy of Space says, that to experience itself, Universal Consciousness (Param Atma) created the world, which is full of joy! Desire is ‘consciousness on a journey to joy’. Desire drives you and your life, to experience joy, thus, creating a new world for you. In this process, joy creates the world. And even while experiencing the joy, we are the creation of joy. Little wonder we got created when our parents were passing through an experience of joy.

A part of Universal Consciousness (Param Atma) is human consciousness (Atma / Soul) wrapped in five layers (Panchkosha) and manifested through five elements (Panch Tattva). Every soul has one common goal, i.e., to Experience Joy. The paths may be different-someone wanted to experience the joy of flying and hence created airplanes; someone desired to experience more speed and created cars. Similarly the whole world is created in the joyous state of consciousness. The purpose of human birth is to experience joy by manifesting the core desire. As per Hindu philosophy, the soul will keep taking rebirth as long as it has not manifested its core purpose, for which it got separated from the Universal Consciousness.

A problem or pain is an indication of deviation from core purpose, like disease (means being not at ease) is a deviation from the natural flow, known as health. Restoring back to flow makes us free of pain or disease. On the way to manifestation of core purpose, money, power, comforts and health, are by-products.

To experience joy or self, Universal Consciousness created three aspects:-

Us
A Cosmic Clock, comprising the solar family and the whole phenomenon of our galaxy, to keep time of the events.
A total manifestation ground, viz., the Earth, which is encircled with horizontal and vertical energy lines.
As soon as part consciousness takes birth as a soul, it gets programmed as per the position of planets and stars at that particular point of time. The chip (like the one present in a computer or mobile phone) carrying all that programmed information for our future is fed inside us as the deeper state of human mind, also known as subconscious mind. This part of the mind is responsible for all the body functions and the life we are living right now. All events and situations in life are as per the movement of planets and stars.

Influence of Stars & Planets

Influence of Stars & Planets

Stars and planets, the objects of the external Space (Universe), are responsible for the programming of your sub-conscious mind at Manomaya Kosha. This creates the life you are experiencing now. Your purpose of life, your goals, your choices, inborn habits, inclinations of mind, your reference points of happiness and pain, your own philosophy of how you lead your life, are some part of that programming, among many more.

The movement of the stars and planets in their respective trajectories act as a Cosmic Clock for timing the events in your life and programming your sub-conscious mind. Man understood this secret 12000 years ago. Since then, he has been studying stars, planets, and their movements in order to understand the core (or true) purpose of his being on this planet. This has helped him manifest his core desire and experience the eternal joy by focusing his attention and energies on his ‘true purpose’ only.

Man has understood this fact very well that the cause of misery and pain lies in deviation from his core purpose. And to keep himself aligned, man has been observing the stars for ages. That is also how the development of Hindu Astrological System (‘Jyotish’) initiated.

The word ‘Jyotish’ means “Illuminated Divine Lights Showing the True Path”. The word ‘Religion’ means “Getting Aligned Again”. In Hindu Astrology, the Moon stands for the sub-conscious mind. Whereas, Mercury is considered to stand for the ordinary conscious mind with analytical and reasoning faculties. Only in Hindu Astrology, the timing of events is worked out from position of the Moon at birth time. When the Moon is studied for seconds, minutes and degrees (120° for 120 years), then a certain combination of planets gives accurate timing of events. This calculation goes up to the accuracy of an hour for happening of an event in one’s life. This system is known as 120 year situation method (Vimshottari Dasha Padhhati), given by eminent Hindu astrologer Sage Parashar In 5th Century B.C.

Hindu mystics decoded the mystery of life thousands of years ago. The most amazing part is that they mathematically derived the process of evolution for an individual based on planetary positions at birth, their transits and their programming for sub-conscious mind. More into this understanding is working evolution of Chakras with position of planets in the birth chart of an individual. In the application of MahaVastu™, the birth chart is studied from this angle. The design of building is then decided. Each individual horoscope is unique with its own purpose on the planet. Even Greeks in the past studied horoscopes with this thought in mind. So that by defining one’s purpose, structures can be made to perform the desired function.

Effect of Earth Energies

Effect of Earth Energies

Earth is the manifestation ground for desires of Universal Consciousness (Param Atma) through human consciousness (Atma). To manifest our purpose or core desire nature like a manager, facilitates all necessary powers and conditions. The Earth is encircled with energy lines both horizontally and vertically, thus creating energy grids. Hindu alchemists recognized them as Mandalas. They went further in this discovery, they recognised the usage of individual Mandalas to fulfill specific purposes.

In 1952, a German scientist Manfred curry found these energy lines and termed them as Curry Lines. His colleague Earnest Hartman in 1967 found that diagonal patterns existed also and termed them as Hartman Grid. They found that neurological disorders and cancers are due to sleeping on the crossing of these lines. He worked out that there are certain energy fields on the Earth that are responsible for the healthy body or the diseased body. Hartman particularly collected the case studies, which showed that all the neurological problems are due to Earth energies and cross intersection of those lines. If people are sleeping on intersection of those energy lines and particularly if some water stream is also passing through that crossing of lines, then that person will have neurological problems, or neurological disorders. And if it is the only energy line that is crossing and the person is sleeping on that – whichever part is lying on that energy grid or the line crossing that will get affected negatively. To remain healthy, it is recommended to avoid using those cross-intersections of lines.

As Hartmann said, problems are only due to sleeping on the energy lines, which we call as ‘Marmasthan’ in MahaVastu™. However, Vastu Shastra goes into much more detail. Hartmann developed certain methods to detect those Earth energy lines and to avoid the intersections for sleeping and you know even if you puncture the intersections, the negative fields will be created and negativity will be there in the space.

About 10000 years back, Vastu Shastra avoided the MarmaSthans, the sensitive points. Hartmann was able to detect those Earth energy lines on the Earth only, but in MahaVastu™ we have those formulae to check the energy lines even in the built up space.

In MahaVastu™, these Natural Earth energy lines are used as carrier waves. We, as MahaVastu™ Experts, connect your space with the whole world, to manifest your desire. The purpose of these energy lines and the fields in their Grids (Mandalas) are meant to connect the whole world and become complementary to fulfill each other’s purpose.
