  • Pyramid Yantra for Vaastu

    The Pyramid Yantra is an integral element of Vaastu Shastra, the ancient Indian architectural science focused on creating harmonious living spaces. This yantra uses the pyramid’s unique shape, believed to possess powerful energy-enhancing properties, to balance and amplify energy fields within a structure. By replicating the proportions and angles of the Great Pyramid of Giza, Pyramid Yantras are designed to harness cosmic energy effectively. They offer a practical solution to correct Vaastu defects, known as Vaastu doshas, without necessitating significant structural alterations.

     

    Placement is crucial for the effectiveness of Pyramid Yantras. These small, three-dimensional models, often crafted from materials like crystal, copper, or brass, are strategically positioned in specific areas to rectify energy imbalances. Common locations include the center of a house (Brahmasthan), corners, entrances, and places identified with Vaastu defects. In larger spaces or for more complex energy corrections, multiple Pyramid Yantras can be employed to enhance the flow of positive energy and mitigate negative influences.

     

    The benefits of using Pyramid Yantras are substantial. They promote health, wealth, and overall well-being by optimizing the flow of positive energy. Users report improved mental clarity, peace, and a more harmonious living environment. Additionally, Pyramid Yantras provide a non-invasive method for addressing Vaastu defects, avoiding the need for costly renovations, and protecting against negative influences and harmful radiation. Regular cleansing and proper placement of these yantras ensure their continued effectiveness, making them a powerful tool for aligning one’s environment with the principles of Vaastu Shastra.

  • The Argumentative Indian: Writings on Indian History, Culture and Identity

    “The Argumentative Indian” by Amartya Sen explores India’s rich tradition of public debate and intellectual pluralism. Sen highlights the historical roots of this argumentative culture, emphasizing how figures like Ashoka and Akbar, along with various scholars, have fostered a society that values dialogue and dissent. This tradition, Sen argues, is crucial to understanding India’s diverse and democratic nature.

     

    Sen connects this historical tradition to contemporary issues, discussing democracy, secularism, and human rights in modern India. He shows how the argumentative heritage can inform and address today’s challenges, such as economic development, social inequality, and religious conflicts. Embracing this culture of debate is essential for India’s progress and problem-solving.

     

    Lastly, Sen critiques the Western-centric view of India and advocates for a more nuanced understanding of its culture and history. By highlighting India’s contributions to global intellectual traditions, he challenges stereotypes and misconceptions. “The Argumentative Indian” calls for a greater appreciation of India’s intellectual heritage and its role in promoting dialogue and reasoned debate to build a more inclusive and just society.

  • Apprenticed to a Himalayan Master: A Yogi’s Autobiography

    The author Sri ‘M’ is an extraordinary individual. His uniqueness lies not only in the fact that at the young age of 19 and a half, he travelled to snow clad Himalayas from Kerala, and there he met and lived for several years with a ‘real-time’ yogi, Babaji, but also that he should undertake such an unusual and adventurous exploration, given his non-Hindu birth and antecedents.

     

    The metamorphosis of Mumtaz Ali Khan into Sri ‘M’, a yogi with profound knowledge of the Upanishads and deep personal insights, born of first hand experiences with higher levels of consciousness is indeed a fascinating story.
    The bonus for those interested in the secrets of yoga, meditation and sankhyan metaphysics is that Sri ‘M’ is still living and easily reachable. He leads a normal life, married with two children, wears no special robes and conducts himself without pomp or paraphernalia.

     

    Someone who met him recently said, “I expected a flashy godman and instead I saw a jean clad gentleman with a smile of his face, ready to discuss my problems. In five minutes flat, I said to myself, this is no ordinary man. The peace and tranquility that enters your system is tangible
