Five-Element (Bhoomi Tatva) Balance Test on a Land

Vastu is the balanced harmony of the five elements, so a land is checked for each one: fire at sunrise, air by holding the breath near a tree, water by the ground water condition, earth by how walking on it feels, and space by gazing at the sky.

What it does

To find which of the five elements is balanced or weak on a land.

Where

On the land being tested

When

Fire test at sunrise

Samagri used

  • A tree growing on the land, for the air test

How to do it

  1. 1Fire: stand on the land at sunrise; if the sun's rays and the land's fire leave the body relaxed and pleasantly energised, with no itching, the fire element is balanced
  2. 2Air: go near a tree on the land, take a deep breath from the tree, stand on the land and hold the breath as long as you can
  3. 3Read the air test: holding toward 60 seconds is extra excellent, above 30 seconds excellent, a little under 30 seconds moderate, and losing the breath within 10 to 15 seconds very poor
  4. 4Water: find out the ground water condition around the land; saturated land with good ground water has a balanced water element
  5. 5Earth: walk over the land on foot; no thorn prick, stumble or injury, no itching, no sneezing, no nervousness and a good feeling show a balanced earth element
  6. 6Space: stand on the plot and look at the sky; a feeling of comfort and joy shows a balanced space element

Cautions

  • Where water does not come out in enough quantity, wealth cannot be good; such homes keep facing money problems

Explanation and notes

The sun is the natural source of fire, so the fire element is judged at sunrise. Trees on the land whose fruits, flowers and height grow fast are also a sign of a very good land.

Principle

Land Energy Carries 70 Percent Weight in Land Selection

When selecting a plot, flat or industrial land, the energy of the land itself decides about 70 percent of the result, more than slope, shape or surrounding structures. A building made fully as per directional vastu can still fail on land with bad energy.

Dehleez Test: Breath and Body Signs When Setting Out to See a Plot

The threshold (dehleez) of the home acts as a testing machine: the moment you step over it to go and see a plot, flat or factory, your breath and body signal whether that property is good. Equal flow in both nostrils or left-side body signs warn against it; earth or water element in the breath and right-side signs approve it.

Predictionशकुन शास्त्र

Inauspicious Omens on the Way to See a Plot or Flat

Shakun shastra (nimitta gyan) reads the signs met on the way to a property; certain sights and events on the journey warn that the plot or flat is not good. They arise because the land's energy is already acting on the visitor's body chemistry.

Testingशल्य

Locating Buried Shalya from Bird Droppings, Injury and Itching

Where a bird's droppings fall on the visitor's body or clothes, where the visitor gets hurt, or where itching starts on the way to or while walking a land points to the matching part of the Vastu Purush where a defect or buried bone (shalya) lies.

Prediction

Dog, Jackal and Crow Omens at the Plot

The behaviour of street dogs, jackals and crows at a plot or flat reveals its quality: a crow cawing while facing East or North is a good sign, while crying dogs and a crow on a dry tree are grave warnings.

Prediction

Sights and Sounds on First Entering a Land or Flat

What one first sees and hears on stepping onto a land or into a flat indicates its energy: black items, broken things, snake holes and harsh sounds are bad signs, while a conch, aarti or auspicious songs, a rainbow or a joyful sky are good ones.
