Consulting Vaastu-Shastra for Home

Munnu Swamy made it big in business, so he spent a lot of money buying a piece of land in the city outskirts (Visakhapatnam rural) and built a 3-story farmhouse. He had an impressive swimming pool in the garden with a 100-year-old Mango Tree in the backyard to boot. In fact, he bought the property precisely because of this tree. 

During renovations, his friends urged him to get guidance from a Vaastu Pandit. Munnu Swamy never quite believed in Vaastu Shastra, yet surprising he took the advice to heart and went out of his way to engage a Vaastu Pandit from Hyderabad. The pandit was none other than Dr. Veera Reddy - who's been in the profession for 30+ years, renowned in the Vaastu Shastra. Munnu Swamy drove the Vaastu Pandit to the rural Visakhapatnam. While driving, whenever a vehicle tried to overtake, Munnu Swamy quietly pulled aside and gave way. 
The pandit laughingly remarked: "Swamy Garu, your driving is very safe." 
Munnu Swamy laughed at the remark: “Usually people who want to overtake, have some urgent matter to attend to - so we shouldn't hold them up.”

Arriving at a small town Vizianagaram, the streets grew narrow, and so Munnu Swamy slowed down.
A giggling child suddenly came out from the side lane, and as the child ran across the street, Swamy still didn't speed up. He kept his eyes on the road - as if waiting for someone. 
Suddenly, another child came out, chasing after the child ahead.
Dr. Reddy was surprised and asked: “How did you know there would be another child coming?”
Swamy smiled: "Kids are always chasing after each other. 
A child can't be running in such glee without a playmate.”
Dr. Reddy gave him a big thumbs up: “That's very considerate of you!”

Arriving at the farmhouse, they got down from the car.
Suddenly about 7 to 8 birds flew off from the backyard.
Swamy said to Pandit: “ If you don't mind, please wait here for a little while.”
“What's the matter?" Pandit asked.
"Oh, probably there are some kids stealing mangoes in the backyard. 
If we walk in now, we might frighten them. 
Let's not risk anyone falling off the old Mango Tree." Munnu Swamy replied humorously. 
Pandit Veera Reddy stayed silent for a while before making a statement: 
“This home doesn't need a Vaastu treatment.”

Swamy was shocked: “Why's that?”

 “Any place graced with your presence naturally becomes the most auspicious Vaastu. 
There is no need to perform any ritual to purify it. It is already the purest place of all.”
                                   ~~      ~~
When our minds prioritize others’ peace and happiness, it does not benefit just others, but ourselves too. 

When a person is considerate of others at all times, he or she automatically accomplishes Sainthood. 

A Saint is a person, who through benefiting others, becomes enlightened.
