Using Hindu beliefs to enhance your home/office,
By
This review is from: The Vastu Vidya Handbook: The Indian Feng Shui (Paperback)
The book starts off with a background on basic Vedic/Hindu history, Gods and beliefs. The summaries of each Hindu God is good and consise. Illustrations are also colorful and descript. The author has done a good reaserch job on Hinduism, no doubt. Futher chapters start discussing each room of the house, placement of furniture, room color and design for best spiritual effects. The later part of the book starts getting into office setup and the positions of bathrooms and colors to use for meeting rooms and such. Good illustrations throughout the book with clear examples used.Overall, if you want to setup your home or office using Eastern(Hindu) philosophies and beliefs, then this is the book for you! The author does a good job of starting with the basics and progressing along to more advanced topics and issues.
