KP Astrologer Sri Lanka
Om Ganeswaraya Namah;
Every living being in this Universe wishes to live in comfortable, healthy, wealthy and
happy life with the piece of mind. The place for all these is the place where they live
in, which is conventional and inheritable to their own species of creature. It may be a
hole under ground, a hole in a tree, a nest, a rock cave, a bungalow, a villa, a Palace. It
is called HOUSE.
The human being is the supreme among the all creatures in the universe and his living
place, the House is the shelter where he gets his betterment, development and
advancement of his life and making his path to the next world with the developed
provisions of Dharma, Artha and Moksha, called as Thri-varga Sampath. To make this
shelter a perfect place for the completion of his ambitions, the man uses to verify all
the goods and bad of time, place and the style of structure, for his shelter, because
they should be agreed with the superior quality, for the purposes of best results in
health, wealth and family development.
The structure of the shelter should be covered from the natural and deformed
natures of the Jala (Water), Sun light. Cool Breeze, Winds and Rains. Further it should
be accompanied with a suitable background to achieve the perfect wisdom of life as
well as for the way of living with considerable income. To fulfill all these aspects the
man has used a Saastra, for an uncountable period of time. It is called "Vaastu Vidya"
or "Vaastu Saastra".
Vaastu Vidya is considered as a Vedanga, which is a branch of Astrology. According to
Agni Purana, there were 18 Rishis as Vaastu Advisers, who have made various rules and
regulations to follow in this Saastra. These advisers are Brigu, Athri, Vashishta,
Viswakarma, Maya, Narada, Nagnajith, Vishalaksha, Purandara, Brahma, Kumara,
Nandisha, Saunaka, Gargha, Vaasudewa, Aniruddha, Shukra and Brihaspathi. All the
written literatures by these Pundits are called "Thantra" by the Name of their own
such as Garghaya Thantra by Gargha, Naaradeeya Thantra by Narada Rishi and so on.
Among the above Rishies, Viswakarma had a distinctive and unique class in Vaastu
Saastra , according to the history.

Ponds and jewellaries - Mathsyapuranaya.

benefit of human beings.- Agnipuranaya
Viswakarma is the technician for the God - Garundapuranaya.
Lord Brahma has created four Architectures from his four mouths and Viswakarma is
the first of them.
According to Bharatha Nataya Saastra, Viswakarma has made a beautiful stage for
dance in a second by the order of the God.
Ramayana says that he is the constructer of Lankapura for Rakshasa.
This is a brief background of Vaastu Saastra and let us sees the present situation of
this priceless Vidya.
Every one of us wishes to live in a beautiful house decorated with multi fashions and
styles. Because of our eagerness in having such a luxurious palace, we alluring ourselves
to copy of others construction, which sometimes not fit for our plot of land or the
Bank balance. We don't see whether it is in accordance with the Vaasthu Rules. But
after commencing of getting troubles when living in, we use to run to the Pundits,
Astrologers or Temples. Some times we do various types of remedies with highly
expenditure to recover the lost peace of mind. Some are suffering from unidentified
illnesses and seek medical assistance by spending all he had earned. Sometimes we run
to the Astrologer with the Horoscope, blaming to the planets. But it is too late when
we consult a Vaastu Guru to reshape the pattern of life and the shape of the house.
The main idea of this write up is not to elaborate all the contents of Vaasu Vidya, but
only to show the path to the correct destination of this Saasthra to be a owner of a
palace, which is full of health, wealth and prosperity for all the residents in that. If
you are willing to live in a delightful, pleasing and lovely Mandir with your Kith and Kin,.
(a) Never copy a house plan, drawn for a third party. It may be a Divine Palace for the
original owner, but it will be a hell for you.
(b) Never consult a Architecture, before you consult a Vaastu Guru.
And then,
(a) Take a pencil and a paper and draw a sketch of the ground plan for your house,
which is in your dream world and discuss with your wife/children/father/mother or any
other elder relation and do make necessary alteration with a collective agreement.
(b) You should have a general understanding about the directions. ie; North, South,
East & West. And identify the same in your plot of land, where you want to build your
new house.
