MahaVastu
Founder's Message
I congratulate you
having in your hands
this compendium
for

of
knowledge and skill that is going to
enlighten and fulfill your own life
and also of those around you.
The ‘MahaVastu Method’ is
meant to bring the light of joy,
success, growth and abundance in
your life and that of your beloved
ones.
For more than 10,000 years,
knowledge of vastu has helped
people to live a fulfilled life.
Earlier, vastu was used by kings
and Yogis alike. Kings were
always on a look out for the best
place to set up their seat of power.
They always searched for such
places where nature and power
of Ma (Mother earth) were in
harmony to create a wholesome
life for them and their people.
Similarly, yogis searched for
such places in forests and on high
 000008

mountains where they could reach the deepest state in meditation—the

vast source of inner power. Even today, this tradition continues.
You too can tap the powers of nature and get Ma’s blessings right
now, in your own home through the knowledge of vastu. Knowledge of
vastu is like family jewellery; it is passed on from one generation to the
next. If even one person in a family learns and imbibes this knowledge,
it will benefit the generations to come.
It is almost two decades since I have been working for people from
all walks of life. I have tested, applied and gained results with the same
knowledge that you are going to acquire and practise of your own.
Through the 10,000 case studies that our MahaVastu team
completed, I could unravel many missing links and fill various gaps in
the basic principles and remedial techniques of vastu, especially in the
modern context when the parameters of life have entirely changed, vis-
a-vis to those olden days when most of the granths (texts) on vastu were
written.
By applying vastu with this new vision, the results started coming
in with almost hundred percent success. It is in this backdrop of new
revelations that the vastu practised by our team became known as
MahaVastu (maha means great).
I am fully aware that it has been possible only because of the insight
bestowed upon me by Mother Earth to serve the humanity at large;
otherwise I would also have been, at the most, just another contemporary
vastu practitioner.
By successfully completing the MahaVastu Course, you become a
member of a rapidly expanding global Vastu Family. The MahaVastu
group is always there to support you wherever you feel stuck in life.
Remember Creating an Excellent Life for ourselves and for people
around us is our mission.
Having this wonderful skill at your command you are duty bound
to untiringly work for creating a blissful life for yourself and those
around you.

Message of the vastu Family. Our group is here to share our experiences of

insight into many aspects of MahaVastu. All this is shared in MahaVastu

Dr. Khushdeep Bansal loves your success. He is more than happy
when you get results through practising Vastu, and move ahead in life by
being successful out of it and helping people around you.

system in the world where only clarity leads your life, and wisdom opens
the doors of ultimate enjoyment, success and growth. May Ma bless you
with success in your pursuit of learning MahaVastu.

Preface

E very knowledge has only one purpose, i.e., to make life bet-
ter, and to live in total joy. The knowledge which is not ap-
plied, or which does not take you towards the light of wisdom
and insights, will take you only to darkness and ignorance. It is never the
knowledge that becomes hindrance in achieving what ever you want in
your life; but the ignorance, which is the hurdle in living life the way you
want to live, to achieve your desires and dreams.
In practical observations and white working with scientific
procedures of MahaVastu, what we found is, “These are the myths in
vastu which prove problematic; cause lots of confusion, thereby, making
it impossible to apply the true knowledge of vastu”. This knowledge is
not new; it is with us from the last 12,000 years.
You can verify the application of this knowledge in the latest
excavations done by the archaeological departments, not only in India,
but through out the world. The documentation of this knowledge that we
have with us today, spreads over 500BC to 1200 AD.
Ever since man became conscious of his environment and its effects
on his being (effects, that control his emotions, intentions, consciousness,
and, in physical form – his health), he has not only understood the effects
of earth energies but also the space configurations around him. As
compared to the time when he was in caves, the human consciousness
has now grown in to a more complex phenomenon.
Human consciousness evolved at a very slow pace from 500 BC to
 000034

1200 AD. From 1200 to 1800 AD there was a different kind of growth
in the evolution of human consciousness. In this era, different thought
models developed in the form of new sects and cults. The traditional
thought models of life and the newly emerged thought models, which
we call as religion, together created different kind of lifestyles and
philosophies for life.
Apart from that the climatological factors also casted their impact

The Effects of
Topography
Topography has definite effects
upon people and their affairs.
Have you ever given a thought
to why people belonging to a
particular region have similar behavioural and thought patterns?
How is it that just by seeing the face of a person you are able to identify him as belonging to
South India or Africa or South-East Asia or Europe? Does this mean the geographical features of
a region such as its land, rivers, slopes and mountains affect the lives of its residents? Yes, they do,
and because of the common space that they share they have common features. Similarly, the plan
of the city also affects the life and nature of the people living there.
 000035

on the lifestyle of people. As a result of combination of all these effects,

the living environments also changed accordingly. Yet, all those
philosophies continued to reflect, in their core, the knowledge that human
consciousness was carrying about her environment since ages.
In the last 200 years, it is not only the human mind and
consciousness that has evolved to a different scale but also, it is the
lifestyle also which has become much more complex than it was in those
days. We are witness to last 20 years only; probably, mankind has never
seen such a rapid change in each and every aspect of life that came in
these years.
Taking all these facts in to consideration, we need to re-conceptualise
our thought models. We can not live with the prevailing myths that have
no scientific and rational basis. The word scientific, here, refers to any
phenomenon or/and practical knowledge, that can give us the same
results repeatedly with the same formula or established observations.
We might not be able to explain the laws working behind them but, we
can certainly, verify those phenomena with continuous observations, and
also, by getting the desired results through the application of the same.
Vastu shastra (the technique of making your dwelling space fully
supportive to your being) had been practised for centuries. In this book
you will see the sequence of evolution of this branch of knowledge in this
very period—both, the re-conceptualisation and innovative application
of this wonderful knowledge. The author has endeavoured to put every
thing about vastu at one place. On the one hand the reader has been
exposed to the fundamental concepts of vastu; on the other he has been
given all the tips and tricks to make him a vastu expert for himself.
In short this book is the manifestation of the author’s inner wish, ‘To
make this world a fulfilling place to live’.

1. Improvements in Traditionally, vastu practices reflect lack of a standardised procedure,

Vastu especially while dealing with non-square shaped plots and buildings.
Application No accurate diagnosis is made to identify the ‘root cause’ of a given
problem. Precision is the most neglected aspect. Moreover, these are
further marred by the absence of scientific and practical problem-

Preface 35
 000036

specific remedies. Due to all this, people started perceiving vastu as a

superstition.
There had been certain guidelines as a must: for example, the puja
room and water boring must be in the North-East; the kitchen in the
South-East; the head of the family should sleep in the South-West; girls
should sleep in the North-West; and the central space of the building
must be open and vacant. Because of these guidelines (of traditional
vastu practices) considerable portion of expensive land and space
becomes a waste.
Recent researches, started in the early 90s by Vastushastri
Khushdeep Bansal, found many people achieving highest levels of
success, despite their buildings not obeying these vastu guidelines. So, he
carried out a scientific research planned on observations and comparative
studies. He documented all his findings and worked out the reasons
behind all such, hitherto, exceptions to vastu.
On the basis of this research, he designed a standardised vastu
application procedure consisting of ‘four-steps to evaluate’, precisely, the
good and bad effects of a building on its residents. He also discovered
that, just like computers, buildings could also be programmed for
manifestation of desires. He used paintings, photographs, sculptures,
and various other objects for the purpose and named this as the ‘space
Programming Technique’. It, thus, served the original purpose of vastu
shastra—to offer a ‘habitable place’.
Khushdeep says, “I see a perfect synchronicity among these three
 000037

domains of space. Close your eyes and you can see thoughts hovering
in your subconscious mind; your residential or working spaces are also
conveying some messages to your deeper subconscious. Then the planets
(transiting) in the vast space are also indicating some messages.”
“For me, astrology is like a GPS (Global Positioning System).
Positioning of planets clearly shows which routes of life are jammed,
where there are red lights, and which routes are free. Let’s take an
example of driving a car and reaching a desired destination. A desired
destination comes from your desire or purpose (working of inner
space); the car or the vehicle is the space that carries you there (vastu);
situations in the journey are indicated by your GPS. However, GPS is not
responsible for the situations—it only guides you.”
“You have the choice of selecting the right times, the perfect
vehicle and the routes to reach your destination. As per your target, the
conditions of your vehicle, capacity of the fuel tank and your driving
skill, you can choose the appropriate options.
“MahaVastu works as a vehicle, with a GPS filter in it, making the
ideal choices for the route to reach the destination safely in optimum
time. If you are not clear, it also helps you to make choices about your
destination. In short, MahaVastu provides you the appropriate space
where your own inner space can work perfectly. Whenever we want
to solve some problem or we want to achieve some target, we work in
parallels in all the three domains of inner, physical and outer space.
But first, we must clearly define our purpose or desired solution,
and then check all the three domains. Only then we can find a mantra
effective remedy, which will lead to the manifestation of the desire.”

2. Vastu Works The most widely held misconception about vastu is that you should have
of its Own – complete faith in it to reap its amazing benefits. The fact, however, is
Not Depending that vastu is a completely scientific discipline. Like other sciences, the
on Beliefs outcomes of MahaVastu techniques are not affected by your lack of faith
in them.
If you touch a live wire what will happen? You will get a shock.
You trust in God, but you do not trust electricity. Touch the live wire

Preface 37
 000038

and there is an instant reaction. It is so simple. It is not a matter of belief;

even if the family of the scientist, who invented electricity, touched the
live wire the reaction would be the same. No mercy for its inventors.
Since time immemorial, man has been conscious of the tremendous
influences that nature and earth exert in shaping his life. That is why,
in all the civilisations, both are referred to as ‘Mother’. Since man
basically has an inquisitive and scientific temperament, he developed
through meditation, intuition and systematic observations, and so an
understanding of the energies associated with the earth.
The directions of their flow and how these earth energies influence
him have been codified into knowledge bases and on the basis of this
knowledge, he developed vastu—the science of planning buildings of all
kind.
The sole aim of MahaVastu is to help a building achieve the purpose
for which it has been built. Clearly, MahaVastu is concerned with the
flow of earth energies, which does not necessarily require our faith. It
works with the right placement of appropriate things and activities at the
right locations.
Even today, I meet people who believe in God, who do not do
anything wrong to any one, who do not believe in vastu—still MahaVastu
produces the same results which have been documented for all to see.

3. How does How MahaVastu works is best explained by:

MahaVastu Work a) The Laws of the Universe,
for You? b) Influence of Stars and Planets,
c) Effect of earth Energies,
d) Concept of Five-Layered Human being, and
Vastu Purush Mandala – energy-fields
MahaVastu believes that the universe is conscious and full of desires.
One such desire wrapped in five layers creates a human being which is
just a by-product of bliss or enjoyment or anand. So, one is always in
search of anand, through fulfilment of different physical desires. We
make structures, basically, to manifest that core purpose or desire. If we
are properly manifesting our core purpose then money, power, comfort
and health come to us as by-products, along with the joy.
Pain indicates deviation from the core purpose for which the birth
was taken, namely, deviation from the natural flow. Restoring that flow
makes us free of pain. MahaVastu provides us the tools and techniques
to work with the universal consciousness and thus achieve the purpose of
our life.
 000040

4. The Law of The Law of the Universe says that the world is created out of the
the Universe experience of joy. The universe is conscious and full of joy. The vedic
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 the joy, and thus creates a new world for you. In this process,

40 MahaVastu handbook
 000041

joy creates the world. Even while experiencing joy, we are the creations
of joy. Little wonder that we were 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 (Panchkoshas) and
manifested through five elements (Panchtattvas).
Every soul has one common goal, that is, to experience joy. The

Preface 41
 000042

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
universal consciousness.
A problem or pain is an
indication of deviation from
its core purpose, for example,
disease (means ‘not being at
ease’) is a deviation from natural
flow which is popularly known as
health. Restoring the flow makes
us pain- or disease-free. On the
way to manifestation of our core
purpose, we get money, power,
comforts and health, as the by-
products.
To experience joy or the
Self, the universal consciousness
created three things:
1. Humans;
2. A cosmic clock,
comprising the solar
family and our galaxy

42 MahaVastu handbook
000043

amidst the cosmos, to keep time of the

events;
3. A total manifestation-ground,
namely, the earth, which is encircled
with horizontal and vertical energy
lines.
As soon as any 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.

Preface 43
 000044

5. Influence Stars and planets, the objects of the external space (universe), are
of Stars responsible for programming your subconscious mind at the Manomaya
and Planets Kosha level. 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 a few parts 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 subconscious mind. Man understood this secret 12,000 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’,
exclusively.
Man has understood this fact very well: that the cause of misery and
pain lies in deviation from his core purpose. To keep himself aligned,
man has been observing the stars for ages. That is how the development
of vedic astrological system ( jyotish) took place.
The word jyotish means ‘illuminated divine lights showing the true
path.’
In jyotish, Moon stands for the subconscious mind and, Mercury is
considered to stand for the ordinary conscious mind with analytical and
reasoning faculties. Only in jyotish, the timing of events is worked out
from the position of Moon at the time of birth. When Moon’s position
is studied for seconds, minutes and degrees (120 degrees for 120 years),
then a certain combination of all the planets gives an accurate timing
of events. This calculation can be accurate to the hour for an event
happening in one’s life. This system is known as 120-year situation
method (Vimshottari Dasha Paddhati), given by eminent jyotish scholar
Sage Parashar in the fifth century BC.
Vedic rishis (seers or 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 subconscious mind. A

44 MahaVastu handbook
 000045

deeper understanding is working out the evolution of chakras using the

planetary position 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. This is done with the objective, so that by
defining one’s purpose, structures can be made to perform the desired
function.

6. Effect of The earth is the manifestation-ground for desires of universal

Earth consciousness (param atma) through human consciousness (atma).
Energies To manifest our purpose or the core desire, the 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. Vedic alchemists recognised them
as mandalas. They went further in this discovery; they recognised the
usage of individual Mandala to fulfil a specific purpose.
In 1952, a German scientist, Manfred Curry, found these energy
lines and termed them ‘Curry Lines’. His colleague Earnest Hartmann
in 1967 found that diagonal patterns existed also and termed them as
Hartmann 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.
Hartmann particularly collected the case studies, which showed
that all the neurological problems are due to earth energies and cross the
intersection of those lines. If people are sleeping on the intersection of
those energy lines, and particularly, if some water stream is also crossing
that crossing of lines, then that person will have neurological problems
or neurological disorders. If it is the only energy line that is crossing and
the person is sleeping on it, whichever part is lying on that energy grid
or the line crossing will be affected negatively. To remain healthy, it is
recommended to avoid placements of all kind over intersections of lines.
As Hartmann said, problems are only due to sleeping over these

Preface 45
 000046

energy lines, which are called marmasthan in MahaVastu. However,

vastu shastra goes into much more details. Hartmann developed
certain methods to detect such earth energy lines and to avoid the
intersections for sleeping. It is interesting to know that if you puncture
the intersections, negative fields will be created and negativity will be
present in that space.
About 10,000 years back, vastu shastra avoided the marmasthans,
the sensitive points. Hartmann was able to detect these 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—this is what Vastushastri Khushdeep
Bansal discovered in the due course of his research. He says there is a
purpose behind everything on earth. These energy lines and the fields in
their grids (mandalas) are meant to connect the whole world, and become
complementary to fulfil each other’s purpose.

7. You are a A human being is a part Consciousness (atma) wrapped in five layers
Five Layered known as Panchkosha in vedanta. The layers are Physical body
Human Being (Annamaya Kosha), Energy body (Pranmaya Kosha), Mind body
(Manomaya Kosha), Intuition body (Vigyanmaya Kosha), and Joy body
(Anandmaya Kosha).
The Anandmaya Kosha is part consciousness (atma) carrying
the core desire with a purpose to manifest and experience joy. This
innermost core-body of one’s being has a pure part of universal
consciousness (param atma) experienced as eternal joy or bliss. Other
functions of this Kosha (body) are co-creation like the creator himself,
peak experiences of super consciousness and sexual ecstasy (beyond
normal sexual pleasures).
The Vigyanmaya Kosha is the second innermost layer. It is
responsible for all the new knowledge and intuitive functioning of human
beings. The other functions of this Kosha are ordinary awareness for
day to day intuitive working, which facilitates deciding what to do next

46 MahaVastu handbook
 000047

and how to do it. Only from this Kosha do you get intuitive solutions
in intense situations, when the logical mind is not able to answer your
questions. The natural function of healing inside the human body is also
governed by this Kosha.
Manomaya Kosha is the domain of functions of the human mind.
This is the central layer among the five Koshas. Its function is primarily
to receive information through the five senses and process that
information for manifestation of our core purpose. Manomaya Kosha
has three layers as recognised by contemporary psychology. They are
the conscious mind, subconscious mind and super conscious state of
mind. In medical science, the states are studied in brain wave theory and
known as beta, alpha, theta and delta states of brain activity.
Through yogic or tantrik meditations, awareness is expanded to
alpha, theta and delta brain wave patterns, where an ordinary human
being falls asleep. This is when alpha waves are activated in the brain. In
an experiment, EEG tests (Electro EncephaloGram: an instrument used
to record brain waves) were done while meditators were in a meditative
state. These EEG actually showed alpha to delta brain wave patterns
even while those meditators were in a fully aware state.
The conscious state of mind is responsible for perception through the
five sense organs and then taking action via the Physical body to perform
day to day functions. The subconscious mind receives information from
the conscious mind and stores the complete information. In acute cases
of emergency or through regular meditative practices, the Subconscious
mind receives knowledge from the Vigayanamaya Kosha, which is
called the ‘sixth sense’ or intuition. The deeper subconscious or super
conscious state of mind is when a person is aware at the theta and delta
brain waves. In this state of mind, a person gives instant healing or some
innovative outputs.
The Pranmaya Kosha is the Energy body depicted by kundalini,
sun and moon channels and seven chakras along the spinal column.
Each one of the seven chakras is responsible for controlling different
organs in the human body at the conscious and subconscious levels of
mind. When awareness is extended to the super conscious state, then
these chakras open up to perceive the new realities of the universe and

Preface 47
 000048

start illuminating by healing all the body functions. In yogic literature,

the level of illumination and opening of these chakras is the basis for
measuring the evolution of an individual’s mind and soul.
Annamaya Kosha is the outermost and physical form of a human
being—that is the human body. The Annamaya Kosha is made up
of five elements (air, fire, earth, space and water). It is nurtured and
sustained by food (anna), that’s why this is called Annamaya Kosha.
In ayurveda, disease is recognised as imbalance of tridosha vata (air
+ space), pitta (fire) and kapha (water + earth)]. Through the Physical
body, consciousness (atma) manifests the core desire to experience the
absolute joy. However, due to the conditioning of social and academic
environments, a person gets programmed at the levels of different
