Parjanya is the devta of fertility, so why is married life said to be not allowed in a bedroom at E2?
A bedroom at Parjanya was never forbidden; it gives peace and deep sleep. What does not suit it is going there only for pleasure. When a couple goes there with the intention of having a child, following the method of establishing a kalash and keeping a diya, and conceives there, they give birth to the best child.
The house door falls on Parjanya (E2) and the family has more girls; why, and what can be done?
A door at Parjanya makes the house female dominated: females are more in number, more female calves are born and the first child is often a daughter, though this also depends on the fifth house of the horoscope. The remedy is to make the Om and swastik symbol taught for Shikhi at that door.
How do we know whether Shikhi or Parjanya is deactivated?
Use the same tests taught for activation. If the devta is deactivated, no fragrance spreads (desi ghee for Shikhi, chandan for Parjanya) and no sprouting happens (the wheat jaware for Shikhi, the coconut on the kalash for Parjanya).
If there is a cut at E2 (Parjanya), can it be corrected with a symbol?
Parjanya, the devta that brings rain, production and everything else, works like a lens that captures the sun's rays; when it is balanced, it captures the cosmic energy fully. To balance a cut there, the one remedy given is the plant taught for Parjanya: a haldi or daru haldi plant in a pot.
Shikhi gives clear vision in a house; if family members are lazy, do no work and lack clear vision, is that the same dosh?
Yes, that is the same Shikhi dosh: when Shikhi is defective, the minds of the residents stay blocked.
Do remedies work if a toilet sits on the devta's pad?
With a toilet on the pad, results do not come however much effort is made; its full treatment is part of the complete vastu taught in this course.
When the house stands at the back of the plot with a garden in front, which centre is used to map the devtas?
Take the centre of the whole plot and map the devtas on it; all the open land around the house, even outside the building, becomes space for the devtas. This is why big houses abroad, as in America, are so balanced: about 4,000 sq ft is built on about 40,000 sq ft of land, so the 32 outer devtas get a huge, open pishach bhoomi and the manushya and dev bhoomi get cross ventilation from all sides. Just as a person given two acres of land enjoys the space, the devtas are pleased by big open land.
If only part of a plot is to be built, where are the devtas marked?
If construction covers only part of the plot with space left all around, the 45 devtas are allocated on the whole plot and their places are selected on it.
If the built-up area is on one side, such as South and West, with the other sides open, how are the pishach bhoomi and devtas found?
Use the angular method taught in class. Whatever the tilt and whatever the shape, octagonal, pentagonal or regular, find the centre, divide the plan into pishach, manushya-dev and brahma bhoomi and mark the pads by degrees as demonstrated, then practise it from the recording.
In which direction exactly should the picture for Shikhi or Parjanya be put?
A devta does not own one wall; it is an 11.25-degree sector. Shikhi and Parjanya face East, so put the picture within that sector, facing East; when a student asked, West-facing was also accepted.
Can remedies done after construction fully activate the 45 devtas?
No. A lot of misleading talk goes around about the 45 devtas. The maximum remedy has to be done when the land is prepared and built on; the other remedies taught for later cannot activate a devta 100% and bring it only to about 30 to 35%.
If furniture made by carpenters is placed on a devta's pad, does it affect the devta?
All 45 devta places cannot be left empty, or there would be nowhere to live or keep things in a house or flat. The Vedic texts say to protect the ashtamansh (one-eighth part of the pad); wooden items kept on any devta's place, even on a marma, are not counted as a dosh, because wood does not sink in water but floats. Besides, the devta's place lies beneath us, and the devta is basically a particular energy.
Does the coconut kalash for Parjanya work when kept outside a door at E2?
Yes. In a flat seen on a recent visit, whose door is exactly at E2 (Parjanya), the resident keeps a water-filled kalash with a coconut on it outside the door and changes the water daily; the coconut has grown into a large plant, and the resident reported very good results for ten years without needing any planetary remedies. This is exactly the remedy prescribed for Parjanya.
Who benefits most from the white gandharva nagar cloud picture at Parjanya?
Especially people whose wishes are not coming true or whose production is not happening. A shining white gandharva nagar picture at Parjanya fulfils wishes like a kalpavriksha, completes stuck work, brings back stuck money, helps sell a property that is not selling, builds market image and gets goods and machine production moving.
In which month are Shikhi and Parjanya devtas awake?
Every devta has its own month; Shikhi and Parjanya stay awake in Shravan (Sawan). The coconut kalash can still be placed at Parjanya after Shravan has passed; once Parjanya is awake it fulfils the wishes of the residents, so that in such a house whoever enters and voices a wish sees it fulfilled.
Which businesses and professions does each East devta support?
Shikhi devta (E1) is directly linked to Jupiter-related businesses such as accounts, banking and education, and supports big industries and factories. Jayant (E3) gives the most success in light-weight goods, plastic items and the paper and plastic industries, and the steel industry was named next. Mahendra (E4) suits people who need a job or service, especially government jobs, contracts and tenders, and Surya (E5) rules politics, administration and government work. A chart showing the business and bhog samagri under every devta was promised.
Which devta governs work such as consultancy, priesthood or judging?
Two devtas govern consultancy work (their names are unclear in the recording). In this class Mahendra (E4) is called the devta of successful consultants, and Satya (E6) the good advisor and decision-maker, with a court or justice room best made at E6.
About 11 or 12 of the 45 devtas are asuras. Whose energy should be increased and whose kept low to stay balanced?
This was to be explained in detail later, as there is a big confusion about it. Asura devtas are also needed: the day there are no asuras in your house, your work will not run, so the aim is balance, not removing them.
If a lift opens directly into the house, does it work as the main door?
A door is an opening with a threshold (dehleez) and a frame (chaukhat). Energy does come in through a lift, but only while the lift is there and open; when it is closed or has gone down, no energy comes from it, so it does not act like a proper main door.
Does the time of offering matter when worshipping the devtas?
In a full vastu poojan all 45 devtas are worshipped and offered together. When one particular devta has to be activated, offer its bhog samagri or do its jaap in its own time slot for the maximum result. An offering at another time is not useless, but just as food eaten at the fixed time of hunger satisfies more, the result differs.
Why is the colour of Bhrisha (E7) dark blue when blue is usually avoided in the East?
Where there is heat, coolness is given, and where there is cold, heat is given; heat added to heat burns things out and cold added to cold also ends them. It is like swar, where the cooling chandra swar should flow in the body while the Sun is up. E7 lies next to the fire (Agni) corner, so it was given blue.
If the main door combination falls in E7 with a cut (half door, half store) and a resident has had serious kidney disease, what should be done?
Such a case confirms that a defect at E7 brings kidney problems. Block that E7 door; the correction takes time, about a year was mentioned. The student also planned to apply the door power treatment taught in the course.
Are the symbols used in these treatments, such as the swastik, Vedic or newly made?
The symbols are taken from the Vedic tradition, such as the swastik, but they are designed with an added element that generates and spreads their energy, and the material they are engraved on matters. Each piece was to be shown physically in class.
Some devtas sit in the outer paishachik ring and some inside. Which devtas do we treat inside the house?
Your own house also has a paishachik ring. In a flat, the band along the walls on all four sides (about 1 foot in the example discussed) is its paishachik bhoomi, so mark it with the measurement taught in the previous class and treat the devtas there.
Some courses teach blocking a toilet from three sides. Is that correct?
No, it is wrong, 1000 percent. The top is left open and a wall-hung seat does not even rest on the floor, yet only the floor is blocked on three sides; at least 500 such cases were seen in Delhi. Metal does not block energy whether it is put on three sides or four, so no result comes. The toilet treatment itself is being done wrongly.
