Man has always sought help from the unknown as he is aware that the unknown plays a very important part in bestowing him, health, wealth, prosperity and happiness.
In his quest to get the blessings of this super power he has invented several devices. Yantras,
Mantras, Homas, Yagnas, Symbols , Talismans etc have always been used all through the ages in different countries and cultures to realize one’s wish.
There is enough evidence to suggest that these are not all that ineffective. There are people w’ho vouch for the efficacy of these devices and you can find ardent admirers of every system mentioned above.
Interestingly every civilization down the ages has resorted to this unusual method of currying favors from the cosmos. Perhaps the Chinese not only regarded the usage of symbols as a very potent device but also popularized it not only in their country but all round the globe. This subject is more popularly known as Fengsnui or Wind & water signifying the carriers of the vaastu energy.
Among the more famous and popular Fengshui symbols are Wind chimes, Happy Buddha, Mandarin ducks, Fish tank, Fountains etc which are found in most of the homes.
Let us look into the theory behind using these symbols.
These fengshui gadgets and symbols work on the principle of vibration. Every object in nature both animate and inanimate vibrates at some particular frequency. The nature of vibration or rather the impact of the vibration on a person exposed to it depends on the type of vibration which in turn is based on its shape. Thus a lovely statue, a bunch of colorful flowers, a well manicured lawn emits positive vibrations which attract us, sooths our emotions and makes us cheerful. In other words they create an atmosphere which is positive in nature.
Now let us see how a fengshui works. Take for example a Happy Buddha. This is the figure of a man well fed; carrying plenty of riches with a broad smile on his face and a gentle and kindly look. He represents a person who is out to help you and is coming towards you to do just that. You cannot help smiling when you look at the funny figure. The smile on your face cheers you up. The effect is the same on every person who glances at this figure. Thus we consider this symbol as a harbinger of happiness. Hence it is named Happy Buddha.
I have explained below, how some of these gadgets are believed to influence our lives.
