A dug well in a wrong zone, such as the South-West, must not simply be filled up suddenly; it is closed through a proper method (vidhi), the vastu registry of a dug well. Closing it carelessly can increase the trouble.
Stairs, the main door, a locker, a pit, boring or dug well, a basement confined to the centre, a store room, a garage or a kitchen must not be built in the Brahmasthan. Each causes serious harm, from illness in the family to quarrels and ruin.
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.
The main door is the face (mukh mandal) of the house and every door and window is a face; the centre of the top frame corresponds to the agya chakra between the eyebrows. A nail driven there damages it and the household suffers constant headaches.
Every symbol has placement rules (height, inside the room, never at foot level, never in a toilet); a swastik is never put in a toilet at any cost.
A tijori or locker that is propped up with a wedge (teka) or is not at water level reduces the wealth in it to zero, because the gravitational force does not act on it.
Living above a bank is acceptable, but a flat whose toilet lies directly above the bank's safe or locker room, where the money is kept, ruins its residents financially.
The colour of a debilitated planet, or of the lord of the 6th, 8th or 12th house, should be left out of the home interior and not worn for important occasions.
A small havan at the Shikhi pad with a teaspoon of desi cow ghee mixed with a spoon of shali dhan, offered as nine aahutis with the devta's mantra, multiplies the energy of Shikhi.
A mirror deepens the surface it is on: on a wall it makes the space look extended, on the floor it creates a pit. Highly reflective tiles, marble or stone must not be used in the South to West zones or the Brahmasthan.
Nothing valuable or sacred should sit on the pishach bhoomi: never a tijori, court case or other important papers, a child's study table, a bed set directly against the wall, or a deity and home temple. Leaving even a 2 to 3 inch gap from the wall keeps an item off the pishach band.
The North is ruled by Kuber, its planet is Mercury (Budh), its gem is emerald (panna), its symbol is the gada (mace) and in the Vastu Purush it is the heart. A good North brings wealth, career, opportunities, jobs, rise and respect.
For a main door on a wrong North pada, hang a toran of flowers or of wood and silver, or a blue swastik bandhanwar of 9, 11, 13 or 15 swastiks in a crescent shape. Mercury rules the North and is pleased by flowers.
In the North, N3 brings sons and wealth, N4 (Bhallat) is the best of all 32 doors with windfall wealth, and N5 gives wealth with dharma and fame. N1, N2, N6, N7 and N8 bring suffering, enemies, family stress, faults in women and poverty.
North is Kuber's treasury: Kuber promises to keep the store full but asks for hard work, giving opportunities for work and business, so it is the zone of opportunity and money. Keep the North light, low and open, with water and greenery.
The North is the place of Kuber and is itself like a magnet: it attracts not only money and opportunities but any person, even a lost person, and any object, drawing in the energy of the 72 kalas of the Moon and the 72 kinds of human energy.
The North-East is ruled by Isha, its planet is Jupiter (Guru), the greatest of the planets, its gem is yellow sapphire (pukhraj), its symbol is the kalash and its vehicle the horse; in the Vastu Purush it is the head and brain. It gives true knowledge, prosperity and peace.
The earth is tilted about 23 degrees toward the NE, so this corner receives the most energy; it is the zone of clarity. Keep it low and open, use it for water, study and worship, and keep here everything you want to charge or speed up.
About two hours before sunrise the sun sends ultraviolet rays into the North-East, which bring the greatest alertness to the neurons and glial cells of the brain. This pure energy suits the pure soul, so the North-East is the zone of clarity of mind and the place for worship.
The Sun's light arrives about 48 minutes before sunrise in NNE and NE, carrying the most vitamin D, B12 and Ayurvedic energy, so NNE is the zone of health and immunity. It suits rooms for the elderly and the sick, medicines, water and open space; only toilets and fire are forbidden.
Before sunrise the North-North-East receives the most vitamins (D, A, B12) and minerals, including silver, so it improves health and is the zone of health and immunity; a sick person is kept in this zone.
In NNW the influence of Kuber's North spreads sideways and attraction is strongest, so it is the zone of sex and attraction. It is the best bedroom for a newly married couple and suits display and dressing.
Through its magnetic pole the North captures the full energy of the 72 kalas of the Moon but cannot use it itself, and passes it on to the North-North-West (and to the North-North-East). This makes the North-North-West the zone of attraction, used for example to attract customers.
The North-West is ruled by Vayu (air), without which no life lasts more than two minutes. Its planet is the Moon and its stone is moti (pearl); it is the world's greatest messenger and gives travel and servants (helpers).
NW brings prana and fresh air and pushes stale air out, so cross ventilation is a must; the teacher calls it the gateway (get-away) zone. It is a natural fridge for storing grain and the Moon's place, which makes it the ideal zone for the overhead tank.
The North-West receives an energy that comes and goes; it speeds up movement, giving and taking, arriving and leaving, and is used whenever something has to be sent away or taken out, or someone has to be called.
When a person has no money and cannot demolish or install anything, a simple number yantra written on the wall with kesar using a pomegranate (anar) twig pen balances the element of that zone, and the work starts running.
Bhog samagri is offered devta by devta, always starting with Indra (E4) and moving through Agni, Yama, Nairiti, Varun, Vayu, Kuber and Ishan through all 45, then to the 4 guardian devtas who protect them on the four sides.
Business is ruled by Budh (Mercury), which wood represents, so office tables and furniture should be made of the best solid wood such as teak, without black or grey glass tops.
An office must be full of energy, with the chairman's cabin longer on the North-South axis, the owner facing North, proper ventilation, perfectly level furniture and a floor sloping to the North-East.
