Ancient Indian Architecture and Its Principles

The speaker, an architect, discovered ancient Indian architecture and its principles while facing health challenges.
They found guidance in ancient temples and scriptures, which improved their well-being.
The speaker began incorporating ancient architecture principles into their work, creating "Divine homes" that promote cross-ventilation, sunlight, and open spaces.
They shared their knowledge at the United Nations, showcasing examples of ancient town planning, temple alignments, and energy enhancement techniques.

Vastu, dating back over 10,000 years, is part of the fourth Veda and emphasizes the importance of space and the five elements in architecture.
It can be practiced in three ways: fixed vastu (during construction), quarterly vastu (making changes every 3 or 6 months), and daily vastu (daily practices like cleaning and lighting a lamp).
Vastu principles can create positive spaces and enhance the energy of homes and buildings.

The speaker met their Guru during a meditation retreat and gained deeper insights, leading to the release of four international bestselling books within three years.
They attribute their success to dreaming, believing, and divine grace.
Their passion is to share the ancient Indian scriptures on Vastu with the world and incorporate them into educational institutions for the benefit of various professionals and society.
