True Yogic Dwelling
The Pioneer in Combining Vastu Science, Holistic Living and Architecture Astrology
Earth is the manifestation ground for desires of Universal Consciousness through human consciousness. 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. Ancient Indian alchemists recognized them as Mandalas (Energy fields). They went further in this discovery and they recognized and decoded the usage of individual Mandalas also known as directional zones, to fulfill specific purposes. This body of knowledge is recognized in ancient Indian Scripture as Vastu Shastra. Science to create elementally balanced and conscious dwelling. Ancient practitioners of Vastu developed the art of perfect placement of different objects to experience peak performance in their actions.
Land or buildings are purchased for a certain purpose. As soon as space is enclosed, different energy fields emerge automatically which also behave as a scaled down model of our Universe. This phenomenon is also mentioned in a Sanskrit verse “Yat Pinde Tat Brahmande” which means whatever is in the microcosm is also in the macrocosm. Every structure is governed by energy fields, these comprise a vital element of Earth’s energy. These energy fields react with human consciousness as per their own attributes.
Space in which we reside or work has direct effects on our mind and physical body. There are 45 major energies in a structure that control and influence human consciousness. The 5 elements govern those energies and are used as tools to diagnose and to create balance states. Elementally balanced energies, directions, zones of the dwelling can support occupant’s actions to achieve goals with ease in various aspects of life such as health, relationship, wealth, prosperity, state of joy, etc. To establish the Cycle of balance, TYD follows and apply authentic Vastu Science principles and approach on building’s floor plans, interior design and exterior design by placing 5 elements’ representatives eg: rooms, activities, appliances, colors, objects, shapes, paintings, home decor, etc in their friendly directions, zones and area.
