From this post, I am starting another channel of Vastu in this blog - that of Vastu Symbols and Remedies. We start with the traditional Horseshoe and how to use it in Vastu.
Before elaborating on the use of Horseshoe as a Vastu remedy, let me narrate an anecdote about Dr. Neils Bohr, the renowned scientist and Noble laureate.
When Neils Bohr won the Nobel Prize for Atomic theory, a lot of journalists visited his place to interview him. After the meeting, when they were leaving, Bohr came out to see them off to the door of the house. One of the press man saw a horse shoe fixed on the top of the main door of the house. Unable to suppress his curiosity, he asked Dr. Bohr, "Sir, you are such a great scientist, and you believe in all this? Is there a science associated with all this?"
Dr. Bohr, whose mother it was who had placed the horse shoe on the door, replied, "I do not know the science behind this but one thing I can say - It works."
I do not know whether this anecdote is correct or not nevertheless it is interesting because, it talks about a dimension which is beyond the current understanding of science. There is more to life and experiences than what current science has understood.
Coming back to Horseshoe as a remedy in Vastu, Horseshoe is a traditional western symbol, used to stimulate good luck. In Vastu it is used to ward off the negative and evil energies which effect the house and its residents.
The horseshoe should be placed correctly for it to be auspicious. Its two ends should point upward and never downward. The entrance should be under it and the horse shoe should face outwards. In India and some other countries it is easier to get an original horseshoe. If you are not able to get an original one in your country please feel free to write to me.
