ABOUT THE AUTHOR
 |
MR. Bharat Gandhi has been practicing architect for the last fifteen years. His interest in Vastushastra began about two years ago when he found correlation between Vastushastra and Solar Architecture. He decided to promote the subject in a scientific way. It was then that he hit upon the idea of computerizing Vastushastra. His software is such that once the details of a house or an industrial or commercial unit is fed in, it gives a report on the merits and demerits of the premises as per Vastu. The percentage of adherence is given at first. Then a detailed recommendation follows. |

These recommendations keep in mind the problems like municipality regulations and constraint on space which urban houses and industrial sites face. At the end of the report the percentage of adherence after the corrections is given. What is interesting about the software is that it allocates different weightage to different tenets. This is to say that the computer gives more importance and immediacy to a few tenets while eminently ignoring others. The prescriptions are given in such a way that the positive and negative aspects of the house, according to Vastu, are taken into account. The recommendations try to counter balance the negative aspects with additional positive elements. His sub concern, Unnaty Vastu Consultancy has franchises all over the country but even in a place where there are no representatives, the mailing of the details pertaining the premises with all relevant directions would be enough for Mr. Gandhi to give the computerized recommendations. Mr. Gandhi developed the software after an exhaustive survey of all kinds of houses and industrial units in the city of Mumbai. The details of the premises and the corresponding financial standing and the health of the households were noted down. His conclusions are based on the research he had done on the scientific basis of Vastu in part and others hadn't in full. |
