Contemporary Vaastu-Jyotish in the 21st century!

An article on Dr. Deepak Kumar of The Vaastu-Jyotish, Pune’s prominent Vaastu-Jyotish specialist known for his use of result- oriented technology.

He is a man with a clear vision and mission who is interested in transferring the ancient knowledge of Vaastu & Jyotish to the future generation, for the welfare of society in general bringing Vaastu and Jyotish across the world on all available platforms, movement and forums and bringing it at par with other sciences like architecture, medicines, metals and movements. After all, according to him, it’s all about things beyond bricks and cement that make a home while taking care of elements including earth, water, air, fire and ether for continued growth, prosperity and most of all, happiness.

An avid traveller who has seen large parts of the world for decades, he is pained to see the younger generation in India drift away from such rich heritage of ancient and effective sciences including Vaastu-Jyotish. Their naivety and ignorance inspire him to go an extra mile on every platform from Rotary to Lions club to Architects and Builders’ bodies and myriad other networking forums. After all his aim remains just one, to transfer knowledge to the coming generations through sessions where everyone is invited especially the youth to attend and ask questions or clear doubts about the Spiritual world, Jyotish and Vaastu. Of these, his most successful sessions revolve around “Shastra Ase Sangte”, “Key to Success” and “Unlock the secret of success and wealth through Vaastu”.

Where he truly and radically differs from others in his field, is that he never advices tearing of walls and structures, punching holes in concrete and the likes to create Vaastu-compliant places. His belief on frequency, waves, sound and light, and his extensive reading and understanding of ancient scriptures means he adheres to our ancients’ wisdom by bringing about minimum of changes to suite life in the 21st century.

This is Deepak Kumar, a 5th generation Astrologer and Vaastu expert whose over 33 years of study that includes PhD’s in Vaastu as well as Jyotish, makes him the go-to person for any queries in Vaastu and Jyotish. While he tells and explains to people all about India’s ancient sciences, it being a science in itself was officially confirmed by the Supreme Court of India.

Giving, incidentally has always been a way of life for him sharing the worthy and doing away with the rest. He wants the coming generations to take active interest in these ancient sciences, which till now was under the veil of pseudo-sciences. He wants the youth of India to take a different and larger perspective and build homes, careers and life that are Vaastu and Jyotish-compliant. His efforts have borne fruits in varied ways! The Rotary Regional that meets at Lonavala, a gathering of 200 of its most prominent members have unanimously selected him to conduct their morning meditation sessions! These days, he is even seen in the company of architects and interior-designers who also constitute his clientele. Their most recent event was held at Pune’s 4-Point Sheraton that saw the presence of over 400 architects of whom the top three were felicitated at the hands of Dr. Deepak Kumar.

A seasoned hand at Vaastu & Jyotish, he took up his first Vaastu project in 1989 making it his full-time career in 2019, just short of Covid-19 hitting the world. A never-say-die attitude saw him use the 2-year lockdown to network extensively on the advice of his “Dharma-Guru” Pujya Swami Samartha of Akkalkot. So enthusiastic and extensive was his endeavour that his contacts which till then were just over 100 exceeded 700 in the short span of two years! With Covid losing steam, Dr. Deepak Kumar is going full-steam with three offices in the city, one each at Vadgaon Sheri (the original office), JM Road (the latest) and PCMC. Here he attends to people’s queries by appointment only- unless you are a dear friend in which case he does relent over a cup of tea. His untiring efforts in his field sees him command a loyal following of over 100 of Pune’s most seasoned and admired individuals and corporates!

With marked growth comes heightened ambitions! Dr. Deepak Kumar now wants to go further and add goodness in terms of quantity and quality in people’s lives. A case in point is one of his clients, a corrugated-boxes maker who once had 70% of finished goods just lying around unsold. Dr. Deepak’s simple tips to close certain doors and windows, and open others caused a 300% jump in production that sees the plant these days operate in 3 shifts! The gentleman now recommends Dr. Deepak Kumar to all his friends for their Vaastu corrections!

And to think that just a few years back, he was an engineer, a BE working with entities worldwide! Things for our “Airforce kid” looked set at an early age. A good student, he opted for a BE (Mech) (mind you, he is also a commerce graduate!), from Pune University. Working all the while that he studied, he was associated with entities worldwide including the likes of Phillips, Alfa Laval and Tetra Pak. In addition, he has been to the US, Germany, Switzerland, and later to Sweden and Singapore, with more than a passing interest in Robotics that includes a course from ABB Robotics. Challenging assignments led to his being nominated for the best Robotics Engineer at the European Summit.

And all the while, the profession of his ancestor kept calling with it getting louder given the way the younger generation kept calling it a pseudo-science, and fly-by-night operators fleecing the gullible into unnecessary structural changes when the need in reality was minimal. Leaving his flourishing engineering career behind, he joined his father, a Dharma-Guru at their family NGO-ashram located at the Goraksha Naath temple on Nagar Road in Pune, only to go solo in a few years thereafter.

An early, early riser (2.30 AM to be precise!), the spiritual Mr Deepak Kumar remains spirited in other activities including biking, trekking, underwater hockey and physical fitness! It doesn’t end here. He is a certified personal trainer at Gold’s Gym, a cross-functional trainer, a certified personal trainer for women, and also a dietician.

All-rounder that he is, his success-mantra is to GIVE WITHOUT RESTRAIN. The universe, he says, shall collude to give it back to you in much, much larger form. Karma it could be, to which he adds that one ought to do another good Karma: Get off the couch and get down to work!
