A house with its entry in the South-East (Agni kon), an underground water tank in the South-East and the floor sloping to the South suffers constant quarrels. Close the South-East underground tank at once and correct the slope; the staircase above it can stay.
An E3-E4 main door is the best for chances of going abroad; those not getting a visa should sleep with their feet towards the West and keep the West and South heavy and well built.
When a two-shutter main door is not possible, correct the single-shutter dosh with a painting, door power, door decoration or a door bandhan hung outside.
A coconut set on a small water-filled clay kalash at the Parjanya pad, with the water poured into tulsi and refilled daily, activates Parjanya; when the coconut sprouts, the devta is awake.
When a door falls on the Parjanya pad (E2), the same Om and swastik symbol taught as the special treatment for Shikhi is made at that spot.
A silver Om with a swastik on the floor of the Shikhi pad spreads the energy of Om through the house; Om stands for Jupiter and silver for the Moon, the two planets of this devta.
A picture of bright white gandharva nagar clouds, cloud formations that look like palaces, hung at the Parjanya pad fulfils plans and wishes and treats a dosh at E2 without other changes.
The elephant (Airavat, the many-trunked mount of Indra) is the symbol of Mahendra; an elephant placed at E4 brings the devta to sit there and give results.
A swastik made of gomti chakra on a 5 x 5 inch brass plate is fixed on both sides of a door in the South-South-West, West-South-West or East. It corrects the door defect without demolition and also works when those zones have another defect or are low-lying.
For a defect or wrongly placed door between the South-East and the East, the gomti chakra swastik is made on a copper plate of 5 x 5 inch or of a size that gives aay 3.
For a door in a bad position, five potlis of yellow mustard are made in the five colours of the five elements and hung at the door, hidden behind mango leaves or a mango-leaf bandanwar. This reduces the door's defect to the minimum.
If someone has left a cut lemon (a black-magic totka) at your door and you are afraid to pick it up, throw energised yellow mustard over it first and then sweep it away; nothing will happen.
The dehleez (threshold) represents the earth element; when the main door has been made at a wrong place, building a high dehleez stabilises it and balances the earth element.
Shoes bring outside energy, so the shoe rack stays near the entrance: on the NW side of a north-facing entrance and on the ESE side of an east-facing entrance. Where neither is possible, make the rack of wood and place muscovite (abhrak) under it.
Hang an ashtadhatu (eight-metal) bell at the main door and ring it on entering. Its sound waves drive away negative energy sitting at the door so that positive energy enters with you.
Sprinkle a little water on the main door threshold every morning and make a rangoli to welcome the Sun. For a wrongly placed door, plaster the ground in front with cow dung daily and make the rangoli in the colour of that zone.
Make round discs of desi cow dung, mark a swastik on each and string them into a bandhanwar for the main door. The teacher calls it his Kohinoor: it ends the defects of a door built in any wrong place.
For a defective East door, hang a toran of wood and brass or of metal with gems, or a green square swastik bandhanwar made on leaves or another base, put up on a Monday.
Hang a bandhanwar of good mango leaves, ideally with Om and swastik tied on and a swastik drawn in kesar, on a main door built on a wrong pada. It reduces the ill effect of the door by about 50 percent.
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.
Have an Om or swastik made of sandalwood and paste it on the main door. It brings very good results, following the royal practice of mixing sandalwood into door wood.
For a main door on a wrong South pada, hang a toran of stones or gems, a toran of copper and wood, or a red triangular swastik bandhanwar put up on a Saturday or Tuesday.
For a main door on a wrong West pada, hang a metal toran of copper, brass, bronze, mixed metal or ashtadhatu made as the ashtamangal symbols, or a yellow or white swastik bandhanwar put up on a Saturday.
When a house stands at a dead-end road or on a T-junction, or both, the eight auspicious symbols (ashtamangal) are fixed facing it, preferably in silver, or as a framed portrait.
A newly built house catches nazar (evil eye) as soon as people start entering; a small swastik drawn with kajal at the four corners or at the entrance removes nazar dosh, and it is essential in business premises.
If the door is in the South, a special South remedy swastik is drawn on both sides of the door and above it.
The elephant represents Rahu, whose zones run from South to South-West (SSW, SW, WSW). In south-facing or nairitya-facing houses with the entry there, two brass elephants with raised trunks pacify the door dosh.
Get the seat removed and refitted perfectly level, because health matters more than the cost. Many people found with kidney, heart and cancer problems, and especially stomach problems, had toilet seats that were not at water level. The main door too must be in plumb, leaning neither in nor out, and level where it stands.
No, such a door is not considered right, and the occupants usually face sudden obstacles in work or sudden health issues. Get the door made straight; treatments for cases where that cannot be done are taught later.
The griha swami's (house owner's) horoscope is used; the method is taught in the astro Vastu classes. The effect of a house carries on for up to three generations.
For the boundary wall door, zone the whole plot; for the main door, zone the constructed area. The main door is the one through which you actually enter the house or factory building, not the boundary wall gate through which a vehicle enters, and both should fall on good pads, the main door above all.
Take the constructed area. For the boundary wall gate the centre of the whole plot is used, and for the main door the centre of the constructed area; this is taught in planning.
Either leave the house or treat it: close the South-East underground water tank immediately and correct the slope. The staircase can stay. An overhead tank in the South-East is acceptable.
No. The facing is the side of the main door, opening or road, and using it is only one easy way to read the degree. What matters is to find where North lies; once one direction is known, the rest follow at 90 degree steps.
Both, for different purposes. The whole plot inside the boundary wall is used for the boundary gate and for placing parking, servant quarters, pet shelters and guard rooms, while the house is zoned on its constructed area alone, which decides its main door and rooms. If the house is built almost up to the boundary, leaving about 3 ft, take the whole plot; if 15 to 20 ft is left around a 30 by 50 ft house, zone the 30 by 50 ft area for the house, otherwise half of its zones are lost.
Yes, it definitely does. Doors and their effects are taught in detail in the door classes.
When the route to the boundary gate is heen bahu (anti-clockwise) or prishth bhang (circling the house), when there is any dwar vedh in front such as a T-point, shool vedh, pole, tree, pit or garbage, when the house faces a cremation ground, or when the door is out of plumb and leans inward or outward. In any of these cases even doors on N3, N4, E3, E4, S4 or W4 do not give their results.
N4, like N3 and W4, is a door that brings sons. Open an E2 door, which brings the birth of daughters. A home without a daughter is not a complete home.
First check whether the door is in plumb and level with a plumb line and water level, and whether a wall or another door stands in front of it. In this case the entrance was fine; the real cause was a full basement in the South and West portion, together with a problem in the North-East.
