The Indian “spiritual” site Speaking Tree warns of bad Vastu.
India has the Himalayas in its North, which – Vastu experts say – goes against Vastu. It is the reason that poverty remains an unending issue in our country.
Huh. So, could they move them to the south?
Facebook readers are not convinced.
No probs. I’m sure they can get some faithful Christians to move the Himalayas for them.
…[F]or verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
–Matthew 17:20
Hahahahahaha I didn’t think of that. Very apt.
Of course, it’s the mountains. Poverty has nothing to do with the caste system and endemic corruption.
Or barriers to education, particularly for poor girls, which itself helps keep the birth rate high.
I can’t remember the source of the report, it might have been here on B&W, apparently there are, statistically, millions of girls ‘missing’ from the Indian census, seems rather sinister to me.
Unless one chooses a rather large radius, poverty exists abundantly in every direction from the Himalayas.
Have these Vastu experts extended their studies to, say, the Alps?
@6: According to the slides, mountains in the north are bad, but good in the south. You want water in the north, but not in the south. So they would argue that France and German are more prosperous than Italy, Greece, and Spain for this reason, presumably.
That has only been true for the last centuries, of course. For most of European history, the Mediterranean region had a higher population and better standard of living than Northern Europe.
All nonsense.
