Review from VGBI Student
 
Shri. Deepak Bakshi, I’m grateful to you for making me learn Basics of Sthapathi Shastra in perfect chronological,simple way. Before joining the Class i had many if’s & but’s, but you have so nicely formatted the course that it was very easy to gain knowledge. Above all, your friendly conservative way of explaining Vastu shastra made it very interesting and simple for us to understand the subject to the core. The Notes given on Vastu shastra were very comprehensive. We wish to see you often in India, educating more and more people with your precious knowledge. I’m also thankful to Hindu University Of America, special thanks to Mr. Abhinav Dwivedi,for his opening remarks at starting of the course. I’m also thankful to Mr.Shridhar bhai Vyas for his meticulous, precise planning and organizing the classes.
