Family Photo Rules: Full Figures, Smiling Faces Turned North

A family photo should show everyone full length with smiling faces, and the faces of the living must turn to the North, the living direction; NNW suits family attraction, but the direction the faces look matters more than the wall.

What it does

Keep the family attracted to each other, healthy and away from bad habits.

Where

Any wall (NNW suits family attraction) as long as the faces look North

Samagri used

  • Full-length family photo with smiling faces

How to do it

  1. 1Use a full photo from head to toe; avoid half poses
  2. 2Hang it so the faces in the photo look towards the North
  3. 3If North is not possible, make them face East
  4. 4Change any photo of living people that faces South

Cautions

  • Never let the faces of living people face South (Yama's direction)
  • Avoid West: a little Shani effect and outer-air (bhoot-pret) influence

Explanation and notes

Facing means the face in the photo, not the wall or the back. Only tantra such as maaran and uchchatan is done facing South, and the departed are laid with feet to the South, so a living face turned South connects with Yama: illness, bad habits and trouble follow. Case: after an expensive visit by a well-known consultant, all photos of the living family had been hung on the North wall facing South, while the photos of five departed elders faced North; this had to be corrected. Vastu is not everything: karma comes first, and harm shows only when the kundli also has such yogas.

Mirror (Darpan) as Mangal: Water Element and the Right Walls

The mirror is one of the eight mangal items (ashtamangal) and is considered the best of them; it drives away negative energy and reflects energy when placed in the right direction. It represents the water element and the Moon, so it belongs on the North or East wall.

Remedy

Convex and Concave Mirrors to Correct a Cut or an Extension

As taught in class, a convex mirror makes a small space look bigger and extends it, while a concave mirror makes a big space look smaller; so a convex mirror treats a cut and a concave mirror treats an extension. A plain mirror can also extend a cut.

Remedy

Pen Cap and Ink Colour by Name Rashi for Signing Documents

A signature can pass or cancel a proposal, a cheque or a property deal, so the pen used for signing is chosen by the rashi of the name you sign with: the cap or body colour and the ink colour are matched to that rashi. Only three inks are used for the 12 rashis: red, blue and green.
