Sharing in this prosperity, of course, are the counsellors of vaastushastra. At consultation fees that vary from a few thousand to a few lakh. Rajesh Arya, a Delhi-based vaastu consultant dispenses its wisdom not only to Indian companies—Telco, Ashok Leyland, Ester India, LML Scooters, Hindustan Motors, Rathi-Ispat, the Taj Group—but also to enterprises abroad. Vaastu consultant B.B. Puri has, in addition to advising big-time clients, written two books on vaastu and founded the Vaastukala Academy in Delhi. While vaastu might have found ready converts among Delhi's business class, it's in Dravidian India where the shastra is celebrating its rebirth in a big way. Says Shashikala Ananth, a Madras-based architect exploring "vaastu's immense richness": "Unlike in the north, vaastu has survived here, thanks to the reverence for tradition. Many homes and temples are still being built vaastu-style. But this recent madness in cities like Hyderabad is nothing but a travesty of this ancient knowledge at the hands of paranoid industrialists, mercenary architects and astrologers."
