How to bring stability in house through vastu-shastra



Clutter Clearing
Clutter clearing is the most important aspect of Vastu or Feng Shui. Clutter indicates those things which are not used for years and years. It also means all nonworking items such as clocks, watches, electronic stuff, any machinery, etc. Either make them in working condition or just throw them away. Clutter disturbs the energy flow and creates disharmony in the house. It brings stagnation in the respective area of your life in which the clutter is accumulated. It may bring emotional sickness too. So get read of it, not only once but very often because Clutter Clearing is an ongoing process which never comes to an end. Please do not put any cure or remedy of Vastu or Feng Shui before you have done clutter clearing. See the magical changes after doing Clutter Clearing.




10 Comandments
1.  Main entrance is the mouth of a house which brings in main energy - Main door of house should never face South West or the life of the occupants may be or rather is guaranteed to be very struggle full. Doors facing North, North East, East, South East are good for money.

2.  Mandir / Alter is the king of all Vastu Rules - Always keep Mandir or Alter in the North East area of your house. Rest of the things will automatically start falling in place. You should pray facing East.

3.  Kitchen is the symbol of prosperity - Your kitchen should be ideally placed in the South East of you house and you should face East while cooking. It indicates smooth flow of money and good health of the lady working there. Kitchen in the North or North East brings unexpected, sudden expenditures, loss of money and financial problems. Kitchen in the East has been seen giving cancer of uterus to a female.

4.  Master Bedroom is the Key to enter the door of Stability -  Your Master Bedroom must be in South West to get stability in the life. South East bed room brings anger. Bed room in the North East is never recommended to the head of the family as North East is the weakest part of your house. Master of a house must be given the strongest part of the house i.e South West. North East is the place for God and  South West is the Devils’  place. Master sleeps in the South West and becomes strong and God keeps a compassionate eye on the Master who is sleeps in his diagonally opposite direction.

5.  Bath rooms and Toilets  have the  energy of ‘HELL’ - Bath rooms and Toilets  must not be in North or they bring financial problems. North East Bath and WC give educational and financial problems. Bath rooms and Toilets are best in west or south.

6.  Center is the nose of your House - It is said that your house breaths through the Centre. Center of the house or office or of any constructed place must be empty and clutter free. A wall, a beam or any heavy object in the center gives stomach problems and financial problems to the occupant.

7.   Cuts make a house paralyzed or handicapped - Cuts in the house in any direction is very bad. Mainly cuts in South West ,North, North East and South East give tremendous financial problems to the occupant. There are many mysteries and secrets regarding the cuts and their effects on the occupant.

8.  A Devil or the Evil Energy resides in the deep holes in the South West - Underground water tank or a well in the South West is the worst or threatening defect and if it is accompanied by defect in North East, it ruins the occupant. Water placement ( only under ground) is good in North, North East ( not on the axis) and East.

9.   90% of the Illnesses and 92% of the Cancers are born due to Sleeping on GS - If a house has Geopathic Stress it needs to be corrected by an Expert or Sickness will prevail in the house. In the absence of good health, Money is useless.

10.  DIVINE SECRET - Last commandment is very important. If you have a very good house as per the vastu rules stated above and the flying Star Chart or the Feng Shui of your place is very bad, the house is not auspicious. It will give miseries to the occupant. And vice versa.

I always emphasizes on treating the place with Vastu as well as Feng Shui as the only technique does not give the ultimate results. This is the uniqueness of her consultation and has given her 95% success rate.



11 Curses
 
1.  Never use bright colors such as Red, Purple, Pink for painting your house. This may aggravate the sickness star if any and bring in disaster. Do not keep too many Crystals, Clusters in your house. That also has the same effect as mentioned above.

2.  Do not keep Water Fountain, Fish Tank or even the picture of Water in your Bedroom. It will destroy your Health as well as Wealth. Water has to be dealt with great care.

Study Room Vastu

 
 

The right place is very important for study as it affects the concentration of students. Many times students complain that they are not able to concentrate on studies. The remedy to these problems has been formulated by our ancestors through ‘Vastu Shastra’.
Here are few vastu tips which can help students to achieve success in their studies.
The study room should be located in the directions which are considered auspicious for studies such as East, North or north-east of the house. As per Vastu, these directions improve the power of concentration while studying. Make sure that there is no mirror reflection in their room. This may have effect of doubling their work load. Make sure that the student does not study under a beam otherwise he or she feels unnecessary pressure. 
Locate Study Table according to Vastu
The placement of study table is important for concentration. You should place study table facing East or North. Do make sure that the child should face East or North while studying. The table should not stick to the wall. There should be open space in front of child as it augments fresh ideas. The child should have a solid wall behind him as it signifies support.
The study table should be square or rectangular as per vastu, it should not be too big or too small. A table of small size can be uncomfortable while working and a table of big size can affect working capacity of the child.
Placement of Bookshelves as per Vastu
Bookshelves and cabinets should be placed in the East, North, and North-east directions. The cabinets should not be placed in the center of room. It is best to leave central portion of study room empty. Avoid placing bookshelf above study table. It may create unnecessary stress for child. Study table should not be cluttered with lots of books.
Color scheme as per Vastu
The walls of study room should be painted in light colors rather than dark colors. Light colors are very auspicious according to vastu and enhance learning power of students. Avoid black color in study room. 
Proper Lighting
The study room should have proper light. Dim lights are not favorable for child’s education and growth. Sunlight gives us energy for doing work so the windows of study room should be in East and North of the room. A table lamp is another source of proper light which helps in concentrating on the task. If the child is using table lamp, it should be placed in south-east of the table.
Vastu Tips to Create an Effective Enviornment in Study Room
    The room to be chosen for study should be in the East , North or the North-East direction of the house. These directions improve the absorption power.
Study room vastu
    Ensure that your child sleeps with his head towards East or South. The head towards east helps in learning whereas the head towards south helps in maintaining magnetic balance of the body or earth. Avoid bed in study room as it may make child lazy.
    Avoid television in study room because it interrupts concentration of students.
    Place computer in south-east of the room.
    Make the room noiseless. The study room should not have any noisy toilet on the floor above or below the room.
    Do not let the child study under a beam.
    Make study room clean, clutter free and noise free.

Wild About Oats ?


WE GIVE YOU THE INSIDE SCOOP



cereals contaning oats are often marketed for their supposed cholesterol-lowering properties . but a recent study has found that other compounds found in oats may help reduce inflammation inside artery walls . Research published free raidical biology & medicine found that compounds called avenanthramides contain anti-inflammatory properties that inhibit the action pop-inflammatory cytokines. Cytokines are small protines released by cells seeking to repair tissue . Some cytokines trigger inflammation (often in response to an infection ), which can lead to atheroesclerosis .

Reducing the risk of inflammation through dietary means such as the consumption of oats is, seen as an optimal way of lowering your health risk .
Regular , quick or instant ? All 3 varieties of oatmeal all have the same amount of beta-glucan,
the special kind of fiber that gives oats (as well as barley) their cholestero; claim to fame i.e. 4 grams per 1cup .cooked.

So what's the different types of oatmeal ? Plain oatmeal groats -whole kernels -take a very long time to cook . Steel-cut oats are groats cut into two or three chunks; they cook little quicker because the pieces are smaller and the water can penetrate more easily.

Rolled oats have been steamed and then rolled flat and dried. Because they've been steamed (precooked a bit ) and rolled (extending their surface area , to penetrate ),
they cook even more quickly . Rolled oats comes in three forms : regular oats – whole groats,
rolled ; quick oats – oats cut in pieces and then rolled thinner ; instant and rolled even thinner to cook the quickest of all . Healthwise , the bottom line is taken out in processing , so all these oatmeal varieties are whole grains.

Kernels of the truth




Kernels of the truth
wheat kernels aka wheat berries are the whole grain , they contain all the vitamins, minerals , fiber, and other potential benifical compounds  of  the grain. They are nutritionally similar to bulgur and cracked wheat ( other forms of the whole kernel), are more nutritious than highly processed wheat products, such as maida and wheat flour.
Soak wheat kernels in water over night and pressure cook the way you would with channa and rajma . The longer they cook , the softer they get (overcooked beries loser their shape . For crunchier berries , cook for shorter time.)
wheat berries have a nutty taste ans chewy texture . Mix them with other grains,vegetables , nuts dried fruit, and herbs ; add them to soups , stuffing and casseroles ; or sprinkle them on salads. Keep  uncooked wheat berries in the refrigerator or frezzer to slow spoilage. Once cooked, wheat berries last about one week refrigerated.

Does the killing of Osama bin Laden solve the problem of terrorism?

Just after it was declared that Osama bin Laden has been shot dead someone tweeted, “Good, now can I bring my shampoo when travelling by air?”

Although it was said in jest there are many who believe that the killing of Osama bin Laden is a big victory against terrorism. Hardly. It is a moral victory, of course, and a victory that has come too late. Right now in the world of terrorism bin Laden holds no significance. He had begun to turn into a relic. With public rising against dictators (most of them supported by the USA, ironically) all over the Arab world and with no support from Osama bin Laden and his ilk he has been relegated to insignificance. The last video he released was in 2007 .Understandly there haven’t been much hue and cry over his killing in the Arab world save for a few commisoratory demonstrations by fringe fanatical groups.
Big terrorist names only act as inspiration, the actual groups at the ground level mostly work independently due to logistical problems. Terrorist groups derive massive support from governments and secret agencies and they are basically tools in the hands of these governments and agencies (for example Pakistan, China and Sudan). So killing one leader here and another there isn’t going to make the problem of terrorism go away. There has to be an international consensus regarding how to deal with such regimes. Unless this is done no amount of terrorist-extermination is going to provide a solution and we will keep on living in the contemporary fearful atmosphere.
Since terrorism may exist in many forms we also need a clear definition of what exactly is terrorism so that it becomes easier to deal with them. Terrorism for one can be justified resistance for anotherr. For example there are many groups fighting against unjust governments and despotic rulers. Just because you’re taking up arms against an establishment or a government this shouldn’t turn you into an internationally certified terrorist. Take for instance Maoist insurgency in some parts of India. There is a known collusion between various mafias, industries and government agencies and they are perpetually exploiting local people, looting them, depriving them of their lands and resources and murdering them. When the law that is supposed to protect you begins to exploit you and there is no platform available to you where you can voice your dissent sometimes you have no option but to take up arms.
Having said that, I’m not saying that blowing up buildings and buses and killing people in the name of a justified struggle is excusable, I’m just trying to explain the difference between a resistance and an act of blowing up a building like the World Trade Center.
Of course there are arguments and counter arguments in every case as it already happens. There are apologists who don’t know where to draw a line and then there are “civilised” extremists who again, don’t know where to draw a line. There is no balanced analysis of the reasons why terrorism crops up. People often say that the very ideology of Islam breeds violent Jihad and terrorism but personally I don’t agree with this. There are murderers and fanatics in every religion. The recent peaceful protests in countries like Tunisia, Libya and Egypt have shown that Muslims don’t need support from Jihadi groups and professional terrorists to rise up against their governments.
It’s a pleasant development that Facebook played a more significant role than the al Qaeda.
Just as there are fringe fanatic groups in every religion there are also fringe fanatic groups among Muslims.
In order to contain and destroy terrorism the international community first of all needs to realise what actually breeds terrorism and what sort of support various terrorist organisations derive from established governments. There has to be a sincere effort. The way America has been turning a blind eye to Pakistani adventurism is appalling and it smells of some deep-rooted conspiracy, whatever may be the reason. So we need to get rid of such dualism and hypocrisy and come straight to the point. It took the Americans more than nine years to hunt down Osama bin Laden. It shouldn’t have taken them more than two months had the effort been sincere and realistic. Needless war and destruction has been imposed on multiple countries in the guise of finding him.
The Muslim community all over the world needs to be more vociferous against the violent elements amidst the community just as they have risen against their dictators. Being a terrorist shouldn’t be an act of valour and terrorists must be treated as criminals and hence families supporting them must face shame rather than incite awe. Whenever you want to glorify terrorism just think of Beslan (Russia) where they had taken 100s of schoolchildren hostages and forced them to take off their clothes or the innocent Jewish family butchered during 26/11 Mumbai attacks. It is very difficult to change a cultural ideology but community leaders must make a start somewhere; during Friday prayers every week they can exhort them to distance themselves from violent and terrorist elements. This is a long-term goal and may take many decades to show some results.
The short-term goals must be to employ a zero tolerance policy against countries abetting and supporting terrorist groups in the name of Jihad and freedom struggle. Indigenously the justice system must be made stronger and effective and if the United Nations need to but in then so be it. For instance if the Indian government doesn’t go into the root cause of the Maoist insurgency then the United Nations must interfere. When you start killing your own people then it is no longer a question of sovereignty and internal matter.
So it has to be a multi-pronged approach: strengthen domestic justice system and implement a zero tolerance policy against countries breeding terrorism. Only then the problem of terrorism can be solved

Will Google+ Kill Facebook?


Google Plus is apparently Google’s attempt to out-social Facebook. Will they succeed? Let’s take a look at what it offers before trying to answer that question:
  • Circles – With this feature you can create “circles” of friends. Instead of having one big pile of friends like in Facebook, you can choose to selectively share what you’re doing with circles of friends you create and manage.
  • Hangouts — A “hangout” is a place you can go hangout. Like, duh. But really, it’s a virtual space where you can let specific friends or circles know that you are available for a face-to-face chat, should they wish to do so. Kind of like in real life, when you go hang at the local coffee shop.
  • Instant uploads — This feature allows you to automatically upload photos and videos to a private space where you can decide who to share them with.
  • Sparks — This a current awareness service. Tell sparks what you’re into (e.g., fashion, music, etc.) and it will gather things it thinks you might be interested in for looking at whenever you have time.
  • Huddle — Huddle is a group chat. Kind of like an impromptu IRC channel.
I haven’t actually tried any of these features yet, since it is still in development and requires an invitation (anyone have one? ;-) ), but based on the brief descriptions on the web site, I think it has a great deal of promise. It feels very much like taking social networking to the next level by making specific social needs both easier and more in your personal control.
So is Google Plus a Facebook killer? I don’t know — yet. But I suspect it might just be, if enough people find the above feature set as compelling as it sounds at first read. But don’t count Facebook out yet — they still have massive penetration and it isn’t trivial to jump from one social networking platform to another. Plus, Facbeook isn’t exactly sitting still.
I don’t know who will come out on top, but given the size of the competitors this is like a fight between Godzilla and Mothra, where all us puny Earthlings can do is wait to see who will be our new social networking overlord.
