Vastu Shastra in Nepal

Vastu Shastra in Nepal is complete understanding of direction, geography, topography, environment & physic for happy & healthy living. it is also study of Astro-Engineering, Which dicates the form ,Size & Orientation of a residential ,commercial, or official building, in relation to the plot, soil, surroundings & the personality of the house-owner and /or the dweller.

The theories of vastu shastra were developed in various region and circumstances by long -term experiment & result of various sages, rishis & Maharshis with their own experiments. Therefore is obviously clear to be differing in some aspects of it's technicalities. We can trace out many differences between South based Maya Vastu and North based Viswakarma Vastu.Similarly we can compare various aspects vastu in South & North ,as well as in Eastern & Western Vastu.
A study has indicated that more than 25,000 astrologer are practicing in Nepal .Most of the astrologers more or less suggest some of the aspects of Vastu that many be Griharambha Process, Griha-Pravesh Murutha or Vastu Muhurtha. besides the astrologers, a small Number of engineers and some Vastu Advisors are also active in Nepal. Western influences to the young generation as well as unwillingness of the new generation towards own cultures are some of the dominating factor for Nepalese Vastu development.
However the main aspect of Nepalese Vastu is more or less similar to the north Indian system.
There are various steps of vastu in process mainly following nine steps are strictly followed in Nepalese society:-
1. Land site checking ( bhumi Parikshan)
2. Combination examination Of the dweller & the land ( Kakini Analysis)
3. Foundation at the construction point ( Griharambha)
4. Placement adjustment (Sthana-binyas)
5. Entrance Fixation ( Dwara-nyasa)
6. Interior management (Griha-byabasthapan)
7. Dwelling Ceremony ( Griha- Prevesh)
8. Vastu Puja &
9. Corrective Measures ( Griha- Sudar) These all process are strictly followed in Prasad Vastu & industrial Vastu also. Temple Vastu theories were used to follow from the very beginning in Nepalese society. Recently new trends has been started and the vastu rules are applied in some of new areas, like Tea Garden, Agro- Farming, Town -Planning, urban forestry & plantation, educational Institutions, Hospitals and health institutions.
In conclusion , it is obvious that Nepal is rich enough in the field of ancient Vedic culture, Vastu - Shastra and other Astro - Scientific technologies.

Jupiter, Venus and Moon



On Monday evening,1 december 2008.When the Sun goes down in the sky step outside to watch the best sky show of the year.Jupiter, Venus and Moon - three of the brightest objects up there at night - will be closest to each other then.stargazers in Nepal India will be treated to a rare phenomenon that won’t happen again for another 44 years

At approximately 6 pm on December 1, Jupiter, Venus, and a fingernail-thin crescent moon–the three brightest objects in the night sky–will appear in close proximity to each other, forming a bright, celestial triangle low in the southwest sky. They’ll be so close together that all three bodies can be covered by your thumb, held at arm’s length in front of your eyes. Within ninety minutes, the bright planets will disappear beyond the horizon, so be sure to get out to look early.

"Look towards the southwest and you will see something very pretty - Venus and Jupiter beaming together through the twilight. The two closely-spaced planets are about to be joined by the slender crescent Moon for a spectacular three-way conjunction,"

The celestial triangle will be visible from all parts of the world, even from lightly polluted cities. The conjunction is, of course, an optical illusion caused by the angle of the viewer from the Earth’s surface. In reality, Venus, Jupiter and the moon are nowhere near each other, and the phenomenon even looks different from different parts of the globe. The triangular conjunction will be clearly visible from North America, but in several European locations, stargazers will instead be treated to an eclipse of Venus, as the moon passes between the Earth and our planet’s brightest neighbor.

This phenomenon, called an occultation, is also fairly rare, and prized by experienced stargazers. The orbits of Jupiter and Venus have been bringing them into position gradually over the last few days, and after Monday night, they’ll appear to be moving away from each other again. While a similar triangular formation will be visible again as early as March of 2012, the planets and our moon won’t appear this close together, or as bright, until 2052.

Historically, such conjunctions of celestial objects have been interpreted as portents–usually unpleasant ones. Whether Monday’s display of Jupiter, the Moon and Venus in a triangle predicts great things–or catastrophes–to come is anybody’s guess.
