In Yantra Paintings, elementary, universal geometric forms like lines, triangles, circles and squares, etc are used to create power diagrams which have the divine ability to aid the awakening of the inner consciousness of an individual, helping in connecting microcosm to the macrocosm or the small mind to the big mind, thereby unleashing the infinite blessings of the universe on man and his space. These basic symbols used in the yantra paintings are found in all religions and are symbols of cosmic mysteries through which man discovers his higher consciousness, moving towards self realisation.

The various elements of a yantra have deep psychological and cosmological impact. The three basic facets of yantra paintings stand for :

• Akriti rupa : form & aesthetics
• Kriya rupa: functional as revelatory symbols of cosmic truth
• Sakti rupa: the yantra moves beyond form and function and emerges as a power diagram and this point the yantra is revealed.

Yantra paintings may also be used for meditation. Meditation on paintings of deities and yantras is an essential part of tantra yoga, connecting one with the energy patterns associated with that deity. The Yantra paintings focus on the spiritual attitude depicted by the deity. For instance, meditating on Ganesha can remove Vighna or obstacles. Hanumana symbolises Selfless Service, whereas Durga helps in overcoming internal demons!

WHEN THE PAINTED REPRESENTATION OF A YANTRA OR ITS AMALGMATION IN A ZONE PAINTING IS ADAPTED FOR WORSHIP OR THE ENERGY IS INVOKED IN IT, THE YANTRA PAINTING BECOMES THE DEITY HIMSELF AND THE SADHAK SHUNS HIS ANALYTICAL, CRITICAL SMALL MIND AND ENERGY CIRCULATES IN HIGHER CIRCLES..

Apart from paintings which are installed in specific vastu zones, vastupaintings .com also offers paintings are not zone specific, but may be used in general for achieving overall peace, prosperity and progress at home and workplace .

• For homes : wealth, health, relationships, marriage, prosperity, luck, education, career & progeny etc.

Vastu paintings developed by dr. Vaishali gupta ,besides being pieces of art and enhancers of vastu zones are useful beyond the purely decorative effect. These art pieces subtly affect the mind and are real companions which can uplift you in low moods and are powerful triggers to changing your emotions from negative to positive. Inviting these paintings to your home surely means inviting dieties to your homes.

These paintings use the yantra , mantra, element, planetary features and colours of a particular zone to make the zone much more potent than its actual existing strength. Apart from all the above these paintings have symbols which subtly yet effectively program ones subconscious mind towards positivity and well being.

It is a well known fact that symbols communicate directly with our conscious and sub conscious mind and when incorporated in a painting along with other elements it programs the mind and space alike for inducing a positive vibrance. The painting thus activates the space and related energies leading to manifestation of intentions and achievement of our aims.

Thus by placing an appropriate painting in a specific vastu Zone , we can program our Space for achieving a desired result related to that specific zone. For example, for romance and passion in a relationship one may put a painting of NW zone (moon) in the vayuvaya zone , the Zone of Relationship and Your Space will understand what you want and your partner will sub-consciously start behaving in a loving manner.

LIFE IS FULL OF SYMBOLS ..WE JUST NEED TO UNDERSTAND !!

Vastushastra is both an art and a science ,which is spiritual in nature and at the same time it is universal, intercultural and non religious aiming at holistic well being of individuals all over the world through their living spaces.

Dr. Vaishali Gupta used art as a unique medium to rectify and correct vastu doshas , as art has a universal acceptability and application and it has a deep impact on human faculties due its philosophical and psychological significance. Art is also a common language of expression , and if used as a vastu remedy , the owner may relate to it truly .

Dr. Vaishali Gupta believes, for any science to make a difference in some ones life , one needs a basic honesty & sincereity on the part of the consultant, painter, pandit/preist and last but not the least faith on the part of the buyer. The artist also creates his paintings with love, respect , sincereity and faith and is totally involved and absorbed in the process of creation so much that he becomes one with his creation.

Last but not the least these paintings while being made absorb the mantras which are chanted all throughout the process of their creation and truly vibrate with these primordial sounds .

The process of abhimantran or energizing of these paintings obviously starts with the meditative creation of the painting by the artist himself where the act of painting becomes an act of worship. Constant recitation of mantras is done for pranaprathistha or invoking prana of the diety or yantra which is essentially a part of the vastu art. These Vastu paintings ,then gather divine energies from the cosmos and attract positivity thereby becoming objects of great potential or becoming “siddha” objects like "siddha sthanas" - just as temples and sacred places become places of power or "teerth sthanas" . These Vastu paintings are abundant in such energy which leads to effortless
