The Greedy Dragon of Ambition

Since the time I have mentioned my specially prepared Feng Shui paintings, several readers have inquired about them. I don’t really know when I will have a show of my paintings, as they are selling faster than I can paint them. Till now the paintings have been for my clients. I have realized that my paintings work faster than the regular, mass produced Feng Shui products but that can be easily explained. It is the intention that works. An artisan making aN idol of Lord Ganesha knows that the statue is an idol, is worshipped by millions. But when he is producing an alien God’s image, the intention, the feelings are missing. He doesn’t have shraddha, he doesn’t believe. An idol of Maitreya (Chinese for the Laughing Buddha), mindlessly manufactured a worker who does not have reverence for him, may have negative energy. This is why you need someone to energize, to purify, and to sanctify any Feng Shui product.
For me, besides being the ancient Science of Geomancy which has changed the course of life of millions around the world, Feng Shui has become a scholarly, investigative, research-oriented and creative field.

In India, I am perhaps the only Feng Shui consultant who paints for the clients. Some canvases from the first batch of my paintings hang in the house and office of Ajay Devgan and every time Ajay adds another feather in his cap – like getting the National Award for his performance in The Legend of Shaheed Bhagat Singh - I feel elated. While most of that work was symbolic, representing the five elements, this time I’m going into research-oriented areas. Like the Dragons.
And one dragon varied from the other. There is the Dragon of Abundance which can attract wealth which you and your family deserves; the Dragon of Golden Opportunities which is just right for business persons or marketing persons on the lookout for new avenues to make big money; the Greedy Dragon of Ambition, which is not about to let any opportunity just pass him by and does not believe in anyone being better than him and then some more.
And I have seen the impact of these paintings…

Feng Shui for a Marketing Executive 

Some time back, a middle level marketing executive in a multinational company sent me an email. It read: “I was sceptical in the beginning, I became a believer when our CEO sought your services and, as you must be aware, our company benefitted in a big way.
“I am approaching you because you are the best!”
This gentleman lives at Shastri Nagar and the office where he worked was in Worli. Besides the usual Feng Shui advice that I gave him to enhance his Career corner, I painted a canvas for him: a canvas containing the image of the Greedy Dragon of Ambition! He placed it on the wall in his home I chose for it and soon things started happening in his Career. I don’t wish to go into the details, as this will make the identity of the people concerned known to the world. But my client was promoted and given a fancy position. Now he informs me that he has joined another MNC as they offered him a better pay packet and generous perquisites! “If you have anything else that can help me rise further I would like to acquire that,” He said, revealing the tendency of the Greedy Dragon of Ambition.
