Vijayapura, Mar 14: Disappointed over the unfulfillment of the promises made by vastu experts' a Vijayapura resident has dragged a vastu consultation firm to the district consumer forum.
The firm had said his life would change if he made “architectural corrections” to his house by spending lakhs of rupees.
Based on his complaint, the consumer forum ordered issuance of notice to Sarala Vastu', the agency run by Chandrashekhar Guruji. Mahadev Dudihal, a legal firm employee, is the petitioner.
In his petition, Mahadev Dudihal, said he was facing financial and domestic problems since 2007. “Over a year ago, I saw a television programme in which Guruji advertised about how people benefited after constructing/renovating their houses as per vastu. Since I was suffering from similar problems, I decided to take help of Sarala Vastu,” he said in the petition.
Mr. Dudihal said a firm representative from Hubballi collected Rs. 11,600 as consultation fee and gave him a blueprint' on the renovation to be taken up according to vastu.
Attaching the copy of the blueprint and a document given by the agency promising positive change within 3 to 8 months of implementation of vastu, the petitioner alleged that even after a year, his life remained unchanged.
“I was facing acute financial crunch, yet hoping that vastu would change my life, I borrowed Rs. 4.5 lakh to renovate the house as suggested by the firm. I demolished the walls, changed the direction of the main door, and made a few more changes. The work took around two months to be completed,” he said.
Mr. Dudihal said he contacted the firm many times and even visited the Hubballi office, but received no favourable response. His advocate P.S. Anantapur said the case has been filed in connection with unfair trade practices and deficiency of service under Consumer Protection Act.
Mr. Dudihal said that he is seeking justice for himself and for others who approached the agency.
Udupi, Jan 4: A 37-year-old Udupi district JD(S) spokesperson allegedly committed suicide at his residence here last night, police said on Saturday.

number 1 fraud cheating waste of money stop beliveing
Television channels shuld be dragged to court by relaying such gimmicks programmes
This era is specialized for fake Swamis, Gurus, Babas, fortune tellers, Vastu specialists and so on.
We have seen thousands of structures constructed before without any Vastu still they stand intact for hundreds of years. In TV chennels they broadcast vastu and fortunes at the expenses of viewers. Chandra Shekar guru a fraudester fooling the public, consultation fee is only 500/- then he charges exorbitantly to his shishyas are trapped in Vastu. This is nothing but a cheating and Section 420 and other CPC to be leveled on this fake guru.
I am surprised why State Government is dilly dallying to bring the legislation on superstition and give permanent full stop for these Gurus, Swamis, and Babes.
Unfortunately, even in this advanced scientific era, people get betrayed.
How can be luck is related to stars and date of birth. No common science will accept where as this so called Guru claims his vastu is scientific.
Why other educated people are not raising their concern on unethical practices by such self proclaimed guru/priests/Swamees.
Secondly there are many TV channels are telecasting the program with live interviews.
He is using Suvarna News. there are horoscope readers in Asia Net Malayalam channel .
This man asks the customer - what is your date of birth. Then he gives so called VASTU consultancy, and asks them to change the direction of door, etc.
Thanks to God Islam outright condemns fortune telling and horoscope reading.
Horoscopes are preventing many a times potential couples from marrying telling them their marriage life will not be successful as their birth date and stars are not matching.
make ur mind and heart clear ... everything wil be fine ... they are all fraud and money maker ,.
they fooled many people first they will tell sarala vastu its free service and after getting the appointment they will call us and ask us to deposit 10000. after reaching to your place all their expenses have to be paid by the customer. totally proud telecasting Zee Kannada Channel should be banned,
No. 1 fraud
Number one fraud.
First we have to ban the channels in which this was shown, channels only want trp, after that people lose their money on putting on them,
everyday new new swamijis are taking birth and making fools out of people, their targets are only poor people and greedy ones.
from the first day i was telling with my mom about him, this will be a big fraud, and the truth s here.
