"Do you have something for political luck? Something to help me get a ticket to contest?" That's the oft-heard question these days as politicians and wannabe MPs, agonising over electoral prospects, throng feng shui shops hoping to woo lady luck.
"With feng shui, one can improve chances of getting more from life. You can arrange the environment in such a way that the balance falls in your favour. Many politicians are showing a deep interest in this and have come to me seeking advice," feng shui master Mohandeep told IANS over telephone from Mumbai.
Feng shui is an ancient Chinese system of aesthetics. It believes in using laws of astronomy (heaven's luck) and the earth luck to improve life by charging positive qi, or physical energy.
It is conceptually similar to the Indian system of vaastu shastra. In India, there are many individuals who have studied feng shui and vaastu shastra. Now, politicians are turning to them for guidance.
