Introduction to Bar Charts in Vastu [0:00]
Acharya Pankit Goyal introduces the concept of bar charts in Vastu Shastra, explaining that they originated from the ancient understanding that cuts or extensions in certain directions (like Ishan or Agni) can cause problems related to those directions. Since ancient texts didn't provide specific solutions for modern homes, bar charts were developed to address these issues. The bar chart helps in quantifying the area of each direction, which was not possible in earlier times due to limited mathematical applications.
The Need for Bar Charts [1:46]
The need for bar charts arose because of the increasing number of modern buildings with directional cuts. Instead of advising people to abandon such homes, a solution was sought by balancing the elements associated with each direction. For example, the North, North-West, North-North-East, and North-East directions together represent the water element. If the North-East is cut, the water element is reduced, and it can be balanced by adding water-related items like fountains or using colors like blue and white. This approach aims to balance uneven elements in the house, providing positive results.
Understanding Bar Chart Calculations [3:59]
Acharya Pankit explains that bar charts are based on simple scientific and mathematical principles. The process involves marking 16 directions on a map and calculating the area of each direction. These areas are then plotted on a graph to visualize the balance. He provides a simple formula to calculate the average area: (Total Area of the House / 16 Directions). Minimum and maximum lines are calculated to determine the acceptable range for each direction. An Excel sheet for calculating the bar chart is available on the Acharya Ankit Goyal Telegram channel.
Bar Charts and Vastu Doshas [5:44]
Acharya Pankit clarifies that bar charts are not about creating fear or identifying Vastu doshas. While ancient texts advise against plots that are too long or have cuts, balancing the elements through bar charts can mitigate negative effects. For instance, a long rectangular house (1:10 ratio) can be balanced by adjusting the elements in each direction instead of physically cutting the property. This approach provides a convenient way to improve the living environment.
Creating a Bar Chart [7:10]
To create a bar chart, one needs a scaled plan of the house. The plan is then divided into 16 directions, and the area of each direction is calculated. This data is used to create a graph. The remedy involves introducing elements of the preceding direction if a direction is deficient and elements of the succeeding direction if a direction is extended. The five elements are Jal (water), Vayu (air), Agni (fire), Prithvi (earth), and Akash (space).
Impact of North Direction [9:03]
If the North direction is weak (less area), opportunities will be fewer despite hard work. If the North direction is extended (more area), many opportunities will arise, but none can be encashed, leading to wasted time. For a weak North, use white color; for an extended North, use green color.
Impact of North-North-East Direction [10:25]
If the North-North-East direction is weak, one may experience minor health issues repeatedly. If it is extended, multiple health problems may arise.
Impact of North-East Direction [11:07]
A balanced North-East indicates a clear mind and direction in life. A weak North-East leads to indecisiveness and delayed decisions. An extended North-East can cause one to take on too many tasks, wasting time and energy.
Impact of East-North-East Direction [11:46]
A weak East-North-East results in a lack of happiness in the home. An extended East-North-East leads to chasing happiness, wasting time and money without satisfaction.
Impact of East Direction [12:07]
A weak East direction means fewer social connections, while an extended East direction results in too many connections, making it difficult to give time to everyone.
Impact of East-South-East Direction [12:23]
A weak East-South-East leads to a lack of analytical skills and impulsive decisions. An extended East-South-East results in over-analysis and difficulty in making decisions.
Importance of Balancing Directions [13:32]
Acharya Pankit reiterates that these are not Vastu doshas but imbalances that can be corrected. Even in a Vastu-compliant home, these imbalances can cause problems. Balancing these directions helps in achieving a fulfilling life.
Impact of South-East Direction [14:03]
A balanced South-East ensures good cash flow. A weak South-East results in insufficient cash flow, while an extended South-East leads to wasteful spending.
Impact of South-South-East Direction [14:37]
A weak South-South-East indicates low confidence, while an extended South-South-East leads to overconfidence and unrealistic self-assessment.
Impact of South Direction [15:40]
A weak South direction means less recognition, while an extended South direction gives the illusion of widespread fame.
Impact of South-South-West Direction [16:17]
A weak South-South-West results in higher expenses with fewer resources, while an extended South-South-West leads to multiplied expenses and greater financial problems.
Impact of South-West Direction [16:49]
A weak South-West indicates poor skills and relationship issues, while an extended South-West leads to over-possessiveness and relationship problems.
Impact of West Direction [17:20]
A weak West direction results in fewer gains, while an extended West direction leads to being obsessed with gains, wasting time and effort.
Impact of West-North-West Direction [17:55]
A weak West-North-West leads to difficulty in detaching from the past, while an extended West-North-West results in dwelling on multiple past issues.
Impact of North-West Direction [18:45]
A weak North-West means less support from others, while an extended North-West gives the illusion of having many supporters, but few are actually helpful.
Impact of North-North-West Direction [19:02]
A weak North-North-West leads to strained relationships, while an extended North-North-West can cause excessive self-focus and damaged domestic relations.
Conclusion and Course Information [19:23]
Acharya Pankit concludes by emphasizing the importance of balancing directions in the home for better results from other Vastu remedies. He announces a free Vastu course on March 12th and invites those interested in becoming consultants to join the full courses. He mentions that after two years, all courses will be conducted live on Zoom.
