Guns and Vastu

[Mack The Knife]

I'm trying to be responsible and quote my sources. I suggest that others do the same. After all if It's on the Internet .....

Precisely! If the internet was good enough for Ol' Abe, it should be good enough for IFG members.

Since I am not quoting from internet sources, I am unable to post links. If this is a round about way of getting a copy of the manuscript, I have decided to be a mean sod and not share it.

Ok, ya got me.
I was trying to weasel the manuscript outta you but it doesn't look like that is going to happen.
I see what you are saying about the internet, I mean, we all know what happened to Honest Abe eventually.

Dear Mack, Thank you for the information. Looking forward to Abhijeet posting the pdf on the subject.

Bank on it! Abhijeet has also been instructed not to post it here.

After all, keeping your suggestion of responsible posts in mind, I do not want members such as Dev thinking they are going to win a competition merely on the strength of hanging up their guns. Pun intended!

Dear Mack, Thank you for the information. Looking forward to Abhijeet posting the pdf on the subject.

Airgun_novice, you are welcome but see above. However, I may just re-review the situation, a la Fagin, and send you the text if you guys are nice to Mr. Tiwari and let him play with your Preciholes at Japawhatever Farm.

I do not have any new in my hand yet - like many others I am still in the line. The usage of the only "precihole" that I have currently is firmly booked by my wife & girlfriends. I intend to keep it that way. The karizmatic Mr. Tiwari is very welcome (and of course, so are you and anyone and everyone) to join the IFG outing at the Stud farm. It is an IFG affair after all. But it will still be held at JapalouPE (Brihji -> please note my correction ) even if a call from Navi Mumbai Police Comm. asks anything to the contrary.

Anyway, back to the main topic - is this piece of information from Samarang Sutradhar or Manasaar (sp?) ? What AB and SD say makes sense. Also, when a stranger/ guest enters the house, he enters from the east side (as that's where the main door would be) and the first thing he notices is/ are the weapon(s) and hence is automatically wary and does not take the host for granted. Mars = God of War. From Indian perspective it could be Kartik, aka Kumar (ku-mar = slayer of evil ?), aka SUB(H)RA-MANYA (thus clean and pure thought i.e. Mangal or auspicious) -> the God of War (or Senapati of Gods). The warrior Mangal also aspects/ inflicts particular house/ rashi imbibing the martials properties, either in good or bad way.

Being one of the planets closer to earth, it overlooks at night most of the year and rarely goes into "asth". Hence it *blesses* at night as the Sun does during the day. Storing the metal weapons in the Western Side or Corner could also "trap" negative energies (geo- and electro-magnetic waves/ radiations) in accordance with Lenz's Law (Eddie Currents) and prevent/ reduce their subsequent distribution inside the Vaastu.

Just my 2 cents worth of thoughts on your lead. Please feel free to correct.

Incidentally, (or rather accidentally,) before I came across your tips, I happened to be storing my (air) rifles/ pistol inside an overhead cupboard on the west side of my room. Of course, being "inside", I guess they stay a bit bereft of blessings from the Sun or the Mangal.

Having said it, lemme go back to my holding, after all, Vaastu stays where it does and only I fly with my AP to GVM.

P.S.: Please change your mind and have the gyaan posted. You inspire me to start on new tracks (e.g. gun maintenance and cleaning posts, sharpening the knife etc. etc.) - this will turn into new direction of pursuit.

Dev: If after all these years you are still trying to qualify at GVM <snort!>, your chances of qualifying, leave alone winning, other than the wooden spoon, are rather slim. In anycase, it takes about two months, from the time of change/remodelling, before the effects of good or bad Vaastu begin to take effect or dissipate, respectively. I believe your competition is in November, so please use the time to practice good shooting form instead.

Knowing my lowly ability, I am turning to the use of your magical insight of Vaastu, Saar. Hope you are eating well and occasionally dancing with fishes.

Regards,

Dev

Excuse the Off Topic Post.

Airgun_novice: It's strange that the subject of Precihole came up today because I got a call from the Bangalore distributor / dealer (also an IFG member) to come and inspect them today. I think he said he had 3 Clubs. Unable to step out right now but hope to inspect them later today or tomorrow and place an order for a couple for my boys, if they are upto the mark. Lazybones and a few others are already at the distributor's place, so he may post his opinion later on.

Dev: Jokes aside, I think you are ready to crack it this time. If not, sell the Steyr and take up knitting. We'll start a new section on IFG just for you.
I am eating a bit too well these days but not getting much outdoor time to burn off the ever increasing flab. Still haven't developed mammary glands like you though.
BTW, what is the MQS for air-pistol at GVM and the Nationals these days?

Tiwari will be there at the IFG Meet, Pune. Would love to meet Precihole sales guys who would definitely be present at the event to demonstrate the never ever made, the most accurate, the revolutionary thing called SX100

Am not sure about the vastu shastra bit, but Kautilya, in his Arth Shashtra clearly mentions armouries in two locations. One, in the mid north central portion of the camp/ palace/ fort etc. and second an underground armoury under the 'vainavya kon' ie. the northeastrn buttress. The third was the 'gupt' armoury for weapons of last resort. This could be 'off site' according to him.

Horses are to be stabled in the 'agni kon' ie. south east direction, while 'vaahan' or chariots in the right of the 'kuber dwar', ie the northern gate.

On a more practical note, many rulers of Indian States displayed weapons on their walls. Yet the whole princely order was swept away in the events of 1947. Perhaps the arms displayed on the palace walls preserved their owners till Independence.

The idea of displaying arms in palaces or museums is relatively new. Largely around the time of British rule in India and post Independence. It was more of a show of status or prowess. In rural areas the traders and prominent people would hang shot guns in their houses to indicate their armed status rather than use them.

WAAH! Yeh huyi na baat!

You guys have a good time.

One more question from a complete novice, if I may:

Storing the metal weapons in the Western Side or Corner could also "trap" negative energies (geo- and electro-magnetic waves/ radiations) in accordance with Lenz's Law (Eddie Currents) and prevent/ reduce their subsequent distribution inside the Vaastu.

Would the following haberdashery mitigate the effects of this negative energy?

This is fast becoming the most crazy thread of the year

Thank you gentlemen I really enjoyed this.

Dear Mack the Knife, Saar: Thank you for your information. This thread, and especially your contributions, have been very helpful. But, having entirely neglected Vastu during the course of my studies, every answer seems to beget new questions. In particular, is it recommend to store rifles with different directions of twist randomly next to each other?
I am afraid that storing my Lee-Enfields next to rifles with right-hand twist could somehow affect the harmonic energy flow, and, instead of promoting auspicious energy, promote energy chaos.
And what about the number of grooves? Would it be safe to have rifles with an odd number of grooves next to rifles with an even groove number? Would it be helpful if the number of grooves were multiples, as having a Schmidt-Rubin M1889 with three grooves next to a rifle with six-groove rifling, rather than a rifle with four or five grooves? Or just display/store them in ascending number of grooves?
Lastly, are there any suggestions whether rifles with differing numbers of grooves should be displayed in any specific orientation and order?
Thanking you in advance for your esteemed advice.

Macky the mqs for the gvm is 345. I have qualified for the third time but haven't cracked the nationals yet. You need a 360/400 for the nationals. I have heard of p@@is envy but what is the mammary fixation that you have? Is it to do with the fact that you now play with bows and arrows now and run around in tights with little John? .

Believe me no amount of vastu or feng shui is going to cure that.
