Never Move a Transformer into the North (Water Zone)

A transformer is fire, and the North is the water zone of opportunity, so a transformer there blocks earnings. In one factory a transformer correctly placed in the West-North-West was shifted at a cost of 5 lakh rupees to the exact North at N3-N4, and the plant ran at only 25 to 30 percent of capacity.

What it does

Protects business opportunities and earnings from a clash of fire and water.

Where

Not in the North (N3-N4); the West-North-West position was correct in the case studied

How to do it

  1. 1Keep transformers and other fire equipment out of the North zone.
  2. 2Where a transformer already stands correctly, as in the West-North-West, do not move it on guesswork.
  3. 3Divide the zones on the map with degrees before deciding where heavy electrical equipment goes.

Cautions

  • A single fire imbalance in the North can cost crores, as much as 50 crore rupees, far more than the cost of the shift.

Explanation and notes

The plant, a project of about 10 to 12 crore rupees running round the clock and making top-quality goods, was getting no opportunities, while a plant should reach at least 70 percent viability of its production. The consultant who moved the transformer had confused the zones. The floors across the plant, including the North and North-East zones, were also finished in red.

Origin of the Vastu Purush from the Battle with Andhakasur

During the battle with Andhakasur a drop of sweat fell to the earth and produced a being whose rampage made the earth shake. Brahma had him lie face down and promised that he would be worshipped with offerings and that not an inch of land would be built on without remembering him.

Principle

Keep Columns, Pits and Studs Off the Vastu Purush's Marma Points

Every house, however small, carries the Vastu Purush's eyes, nose, ears, hands, feet, heart, navel and other parts, including the marma and ati-marma (vital) points. A column, pit or stud on these points harms the occupants, just as a speck of dust in the eye or an injury to a vital organ harms the body.

Jain Origin of Vastu: Shilpa Taught by Adi Prabhu to Vishwakarma

In the Jain account, during the bhog bhoomi of the third era kalpavriksha trees granted every wish, until rising sin made them stop giving. Adi Prabhu then taught the six means of livelihood, asi, masi, krishi, vidya, vanijya and shilpa, and gave the complete knowledge of Vastu to his fourth son Vishwakarma.

Classical Vastu Texts and What Each Teaches

Vastu knowledge passed by memory until it was written down in texts such as Samarangana Sutradhara, Mayamatam, the Skanda, Agni, Vayu and Garuda Puranas, Vishwakarma Prakash, Aparajita Prichha, Praman Manjari, Vastu Rajvallabh, Prasad Mandan, Vastu Mandan and Shilpa Ratna, each with its own focus.

Principle

Which Vastu Texts to Read First, and Why Read the Originals

Start with Vishwakarma Prakash, the simplest, available in Hindi with the Sanskrit shlokas and their meaning (translated by Krishna Kumar Jugnu of Udaipur). Then read Mayamatam, both parts of Samarangana Sutradhara, Manasara and Raj Vallabh.

Principle

A Big River to the South of a Temple Makes It a Mahatirth

Raj Vallabh states that a temple with a large river flowing to its South becomes not merely a tirth but a mahatirth, because for a temple the water element stands for peace. Rules made for homes must not be applied mechanically to temples.
