Question is : Whether the Modern present Day Indian Minister possesses such essential qualities? A minister can and cannot champion the cause of such a great, serious, science and art of vaastu. If unworthy of above-marked qualities in him, things can go wrong because of his wrong unreasonsed, faulty calculations and one-sided thinking-planning blended with his stray, self-publicity-centered or political motives lacking public concern and compassion.
It should also be understood that Vaastu cannot be applied everywhere, nor can it be blamed for one's own shortcomings, blunders, lack of insight and integrity.

Vaastu: How and Why a Science and
Not a Superstition?
Architectural Vastu is a healthy combination of Art and Science. There is no room in it for superstitions and vague forebodings as is sometime assumed without understanding and studying it in proper perspectives. Such an assumption is mostly based on prejudicies, wrong information and conditioning of mind without having openness to study the subject in its wholeness and integration scientifically.
Principles of Vastu and Architecture are based on Five elements of Nature namely Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Sky with their proper usage, application, prescription, presentation and placement. Whole of this process goes in factual and actual way of Cosmic Nature's principles. There is no place for poetic imagination, superstition or even Astrological forecasts (the falita) in Vastu. Its scientific aspect lies in its being exactly and factually Mathematical. It prescribes Nature's clear laws. Say, if you drive your vehicle on wrong side (Right Hand Drive in India in place of the Left Hand one and Left Hand Drive in USA, the vice-versa) then what will happen...? Accident, or anything else.........?
Similarly, if you place the above mentioned five elements of Nature in wrong places of your house or premises, what will happen...? The results
