It is a well-known fact
that 3/4th of the Globe consists of water and the remaining 1/4th earth. Some
of the countries that were formed on the earth are prosperous while some others
are in declining state owing to their geographical position. If we consider a
country, taking it as a separate unit, we can easily understand why that
country is in rising position taking into consideration its religious, social,
political, industrial and economic conditions.
For example, let us have a
look at the geographical position of Africa, Its North-East Portion was cut
off. On the West and North-West side of the continent the extent of the land is
bigger than that on the other sides. On the East of this ‘Dark Continent’ there
is the Indian Ocean, on the North there is the Mediterranean Sea
If you look at Japan, you
will have a different picture of the islands. It is a developed country. It was
developed in a short period, sustaining the on slaughts of the Sec-ond World
War. It is in the “Land of the Rising Sun.” Though the area of the islands is
not much, yet its all-round growth is praise worthy. The reason for such growth
is only its Geographical position. There is the pacific Ocean on the East and North-East
of the Islands. They are surrounded by water on the West and South East. This
is the reason why Hiroshima and Nagasaki were much affected by the Bomb attacks
dur-ing the Second World War, as a result of which, they were destroyed.
Besides facing the havoc, there
Side.
There is Britain which used
to claim that “The Sun never sets on the British Empire.” Everybody knows that
the British culture, civilization, industrial development, po-litical strategy,
religious supremacy the popularity of the English language are seen, even today
in each and every country in the world. The extent of this country is less; but
its dominating power cannot be questioned. The reason for this importance is
the Atlantic Ocean on the West, the North Sea spreading upto the Arctic Ocean
is on the North. That is why this little country was able to lord over the
whole world.
Now, we shall have a glance
at our Motherland, India. When we read the History of our country, we find how
big Empires rose and how they fell down. There were many attacks on this
country by foreigners who plundered the country many a time. It is only the
Geographical position of this country which made her subordinate to the alien
powers.
There
is the Bay of Bengal on the East, the Indian Ocean on the South and the Arabian
Sea on the West. It is surrounded by water on the South-East and South-West
sides also. It is only owing to this reason that India became often a target of
the foreign attacks. Of course, there are the Himalayas on the north of this
Peninsula. The Himalayas, with its pristine glory, is called the King of the
Mountains. A good feature in the Geographical position of this country is that
it is a little bit bent towards East. This is the only reason for which our country
dominates, even today, the whole world in religious, cultural, literary as well
as philosophical field.
Keeping
in view the Geographical position of India, those who want to construct
buildings, have to follow the principles laid down in the ‘Vaastu-Shastra’
verbatim, so that the owner of the building might escape from evil powers.
If we look at
the map of Russia, we find that the land on the West is more extensive than
that on the East. There is the Caspian Sea on the South-East side and Black-Sea
on the South. Therefore the water on the South-East is balanced with that on
the North-East side. Owning to this position, the people of Russia had to face
untold difficulties during the reign of the Czar and later on under the
Communist Administration. It is also well-known thing that the Russian suffered
a lot during the Second World War.
So,
to sum up, one should know that the influence of water is seen on the countries
which are surrounded by it.
