Republic of the Congo | Brazzaville City | Kinshasa
The Republic of Congo, or simply known as the Congo is an independent country in central African country and is known for its tropical forests, culture, wildlife e.g. Gorillas and many other distinctive features.
Bantu peoples were the earliest known people to inhabit the Congo from approx. 3000 years ago.
These people shaped the outlook and culture of the region and had a large influence in the region and surroundings. Europeans first contacted the region in the 15th century and had active trade with the people.
Slaves were one of the crucial trade items. The trade continued till the 19th century when the region was finally colonized by the French.
The colonists exploited the natural resources of the country on large scale and left the people in desperate condition. Forced labor was also a common activity which resulted in the death of thousands of people.
14,000 people alone died in during the construction of “Ocean-Congo Railroad”, which was a subject of forced labor. After World War 2 ended, colonies all over the world were demanding freedom and similarly, Congo was also given freedom in 1960.
Around 70% of the Congo’s area is covered by forests which is not less than a blessing. But in present, deforestation is in full swing and is very harmful to the country’s environment.
Other geographic features include fertile valleys, mountains, plateaus, and rivers. The country has also rich deposits of mineral resources similar to the other African Nations.
Bordering countries of Congo include Gabon towards the West, the Democratic Republic of Congo towards the South and East, Cabinda (Angola) towards South, and the Central African Republic and cameroon towards the North.
Agriculture, forestry, petroleum-based industries, and services are the base for the Congo’s economy. The petroleum sector is the largest source of income as the country has large reserves.
Christianity is by far the largest faith of Congo and traces its roots back to the colonial era.

We are tech professionals and working in USA. After a year long search we brought the house. After buying the house I started looking for consultant who can help me evaluating the house. I came across Subhavaastu website which has lot of information. I contacted Mr.Suresh and requested him to help with our house vastu. It has been an incredible delight working with him.. He is very detailed oriented person and never compromises with his work. I am typically not interested to deliver the reviews. But after working with Mr. Suresh I decided to share my experience. Mr. Suresh has great expertise in providing vastu consultation to USA property. He is always available through email and phone l to answer questions. I am writing this review hoping it will help other people like me who lives in abroad. Please take advise before buying the house. I highly recommend Mr. Suresh as he has great experience with structure of USA properties and also he provides genuine consultation. I really appreciate Mr. Suresh's help in evaluating our house - Padma - Boston - USA
"I contacted Sureshji to consult on our current home. He was spot on in identifying vastu dosha in regards to the problems we were having. He suggested remedies but we are still looking for a new house. Since then I have been in touch with him for finding a right home for us. He is very sincere and truly wishes better lives for everyone. He doesn’t compromise with quality and is always responsive to queries. He recommends solutions as per location as Vastu rules differ for each country. He is greatly contributing to the society with his knowledge of Vastu and dedication towards his work. Keep up the good work Sureshji and wish you success and happiness!" - Megha - Virginia - USA
I have consulted Suresh Garu during December 2014 during the process of buying a house in Texas, USA. I have occupied the house for one year now, and feel like dropping a review regarding my experience during the entire process. I am very much satisfied with the kind of service I received from him. He is very knowledgeable and I was often stunned by his detailed analysis during the course of my interaction with him. He was very much accessible over phone (perhaps more than 10 times for one house plan!) and the price is very much reasonable especially compared with the cost of the house. I noticed his burning desire to help me in making informed decisions on certain things. I have seen some people pretending to know this subject and misguiding those who come for help by saying only what we want to hear. SubhaVaastu is definitely not that one. Finally, I am strong believer of leaving certain things to experts in those subjects. I have been in US for more than 13 years and have seen people doing their own corrections (by reading website articles) trying to save few dollars. Please don’t do that. You would end up in causing more damage. I highly recommend you to engage SubhaVaastu in your next project - Satish - Dallas - TX - USA
