Remedies, methods and rules
Principle
Painting Placement: No Vedh at the Main Door, Water and Mountain Scenes by Wall
A picture changes the mind, so a painting can create a dosh. A painting of a tree, mountain, river, road or pillar facing the main door acts as a dwar vedh, water scenes do not belong on South, West or SW walls, and mountain scenes do not belong on the North wall.
Principle
Staircase Design Rules: Clockwise, Odd Risers, Landings and Equal Steps
Stairs must turn clockwise, have an odd number of risers, include landings and equal risers, arrive facing North or East, and have nothing harmful built beneath them.
Principle
Zoning Inside the Kitchen: Fridge, Spices, Knives, Water and Vegetables
Grid the kitchen from its own centre and place items by zone: the refrigerator in SE, South, West or ideally NW, spices in the South, knives and cutlery in the SW, drinking water in NNE or ENE and the vegetable basket in the East.
Principle
Office Types Suited to Each of the 16 Zones
Each zone favours a particular kind of office: East for administration, North for finance, West for engineering and profit, WSW for every office, SW for employment and stability and ENE for media.
Principle
Placement of Ancestor and Family Photos
Photos of departed ancestors go in the South-West, but never inside a bedroom; family photos of the living go anywhere except the South and SSW zones, on a wall where their faces look North.
Principle
Placement of Bills, Important Files, Cheque Book and Locker
Files of bills awaiting payment face North, important files go to the West, WSW, North or NE, the cheque book to the NNE and the locker to the West or South-West.
Principle
Study Room Effects in Each of the 16 Zones
WSW, West, SW, East, North and NE are strong study zones and ESE suits research, while SE, SSE, South, WNW, NW and NNW disturb concentration.
Principle
Which Zone Suits Which Puja: Mandir Placement Across the 16 Zones
Each zone suits a particular worship: North for Saraswati and Ganesh, NNE for pranic sadhana, NE and East for meditation, South for Hanuman and Devi, West best of all, while SE, SSE and SSW suit no puja.
Principleउच्च नीच ग्रह अनुसार द्वार
Choosing the Door Direction by Exalted and Debilitated Planets
An exalted planet in the lagna chart of the owner opens his fortune through a door in the direction of that planet, while certain debilitated planets and conjunctions rule a direction out completely.
Principle
Main Door Placement Rules: No T-Junction, Temple, Open Courtyard or Door Above Door
A main door must not face a T-junction or a temple, must not open straight onto an open courtyard and must not have another door above it. All doors should be at one level, and the main door needs a porch and decoration.
Principleदक्षिण दिशा के द्वार पद
South Door Padas and Their Results (S4 the Only Good One)
In the South only S4 (Grihakshat) gives happiness, peace, prosperity and business profit. S2, S3, S5, S6, S7 (the debt door) and S8 bring lack of children, servitude, suffering, selfishness, debt and disease.
Principleपश्चिम दिशा के द्वार पद
West Door Padas W1 to W8 and Their Results
In the West, W4 (Pushpadant) showers wealth and W5 (Varun) also gives wealth, while W1, W2, W3, W6, W7 and W8 bring short life, overspending, loss of money, government trouble, disease and a destructive mind.
Principle
False Ceiling Shapes Matched to the Element of the Zone
A ceiling's shape brings its element into the room, so ceilings are shaped by zone: half-moon in water zones, a round dome at the Brahmasthan, a rectangle in South and West bedrooms, and never a triangle.
Principle
Greenery Is Fine in Every Direction and Trees Should Never Be Cut
The belief that the North-West, West or South-West must have no greenery is wrong: plants can go in every direction, and a vastu expert should never get a tree cut but should plant auspicious trees beside it instead.
Principle
Rahu-Ketu (South-West) Interior: Golden Yellow, Nandi, Awards and Tall Trees
The South-West is the zone of Rahu-Ketu. Its interior uses golden yellow, white or ivory, black stone, blue sapphire, amethyst and iron, a Nandi, awards and certificates, mountain and village sceneries, and tall outdoor trees.
Principleशमी
Shami Tree: Only Outdoors in the West, Never Inside or Near the House
The shami represents Saturn and works powerfully when planted in a garden in the West, but it is the favourite tree of spirits, so it must never be grown inside the house or close to it.
Principle
Sleep Belongs to Saturn: Why the Bedroom Suits the South-West or South
Sleep is an activity of Saturn; Saturn is a friend of Rahu-Ketu, who rule the South-West, and the South is the seat of Yama, so sleeping in the South-West or South is recommended, while sleeping in the East is not.
Principle
Ancestor (Pitru) Photos Face South, Never in Bedroom or Drawing Room
Photos of departed family members (with garlands) should face South, the direction of Yama; they can hang in the South, SW, SSW or WSW zone, but never in a bedroom or drawing room.
Principle
No Mirror-Polish Floor Tiles from South to West or in the Brahmasthan
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.
Questions and answers
All 43 questionsWhen a toilet and bathroom are built in the visarjan (disposal) zone, their floor is often raised or sunk to keep water from flowing out. What is correct?
Anything placed on the ground should be at water level, and the floor of the whole house should stay the same. Give the toilet and bathroom floor its slope toward the North-East; water draining toward the South-West is very troublesome.
In a house with uneven levels, how can we tell whether the South-West is low-lying?
Check with a water level (spirit level) or a contour map, or simply pour a bucket of water on the floor: the direction in which it flows is the direction of the slope.
In a house with a cut South-West, the plinth beam also follows the cut. Is it counted as cut?
Yes. If the beam and the foundation are cut, the plot is considered cut. What a cut is will be explained further with a model.
My plot measures 32 by 31, so one side is shorter. Is a corner cut?
If the shortfall is on the South-West side, the South-West is cut. Simply build on an exact 31 x 31 square.
My neighbour's house in the East has two storeys and mine has one. What is the effect?
You are losing, because the East (the sun) gives all the energy. Either build a second storey or put up a flag: a metal flag of brass in the South-West of your roof, higher than their building, so that your building starts receiving cosmic energy.
In the house I am moving to, my room may fall in the Brahmasthan or the North-East. Which is right during pregnancy and delivery?
Do not stay in the Brahmasthan at any cost; sleeping in the drawing room, or even on the road, would be better. If zoning the whole area puts the room in the North-East, it can be used with discretion, but it is not ideal; the best zone for a delivery is the South-West, the zone of stability. A backyard on the North side is good.
The lower body relates to the earth element. Can an entrance in the South or South-West cause related health problems?
Yes, it definitely does. Doors and their effects are taught in detail in the door classes.
How should a 4-inch sewer drain pipe running through the centre be judged?
The underground drainage line should run from the South-West towards the North-West, that is clockwise, and leave the plot at the North-West; that is good.
Is an overhead tank right in NNW, and should it be in the South-West or the North-West?
Not in NNW. An overhead tank can be built from the West up to the North-West; making it in the South-West, as many people do, is wrong. Build it in the North-West.
How do we mark a flat whose South-West and North-East corners are cut?
Mark it the usual way: find the centre and north, place the chakra on the centre and mark the devtas. To divide the bands, take every corner of the shape, draw lines from the centre to each, apply the ratios and join the points; a similar shape forms inside. The more irregular the shape, the more complicated the work, and software makes it easier.
Can yellow mustard and gomti chakra be put at a South-West main boundary gate?
Yes, it will benefit. These two items are not limited to any direction and can be used anywhere. Put the yellow mustard in properly dug pits, because if it meets moisture and sprouts it does no good. The specific South-West gate remedy is taught separately.
A consultant had 2.5 kg of yellow mustard kept under a bed in the South-West; a year later dowsing showed strong negativity and there were daily quarrels. Can yellow mustard create negativity?
Yellow mustard that was washed, energised and commanded cannot give negativity. Mustard simply bought from the market and placed without purification and command does not work, even a ton of it in a shop, and it may bring negativity from wherever it came. Incomplete knowledge is very dangerous.
