Questions and Answers

Metal is a good conductor, so it carries and spreads energy instead of blocking it, and blocking works only when it covers all sides. Metal should not be put into the ground for this. Use a bad conductor, just as the plastic cover on an electric wire stops the current from reaching you. Plastic pyramids and random items sold in the name of vastu do not help.

Work it out from the principle, as with making mantras: first decide whether the energy must be blocked or spread. To block it, use a bad conductor that covers it from all sides; it cannot be done with a metal strip. The method was to be demonstrated practically in a later class.

No. Every item has rules: the height at which it is fixed, placing it inside, never at foot level and never in a toilet. A swastik is never put in a toilet at any cost, and there is no reason to activate devtas inside a toilet, since that gives their place to the toilet.

Check the birth chart. If the Sun in the chart is debilitated and you forcibly open an E3 or E4 door, it will be wrong and not appropriate at all.

In a vastu pooja all 45 devtas are activated together in one sitting. A single devta can also be activated on its own with its samagri at its own time.

When the rays of the Sun come, they fall outside first and only then come inside. The devtas of the outer ring sit there for protection: they occupy the land on all four sides so that no negativity can enter.

It shows a defect or imbalance at that pad. When an offering reaches a defective place the defect tries to come out, as when granite tiles at one devta pad cracked during a group havan, and the body reacts. The uneasiness is a signal: the pad must be purified and activated with the method being taught (havan samagri, bhog samagri, mantra or the samagri to hang), so wait for the full method before trying again.

As in a kundli, where Jupiter blesses whatever it aspects with full drishti, a devta also aspects the devta opposite it; Surya, for example, balances Varun. If you cannot balance a devta directly, balance the devta whose full drishti falls on it, and its gaze will set it right.

It is a 45-minute period. The count starts with Shikhi devta from 3:00 to 3:45 am, and each next devta takes the next 45 minutes.

Take the centre of the constructed area and mark the pads from it; part of the paishachik ring may fall just outside the house. For a new building, do the zoning of the whole plot for the boundary wall gate, and the zoning of the constructed area to mark E3 or E4 for the main door of the house.

Use pure coconut oil of the kind that solidifies when it is even slightly cold, like the edible coconut oil used in the South. If that is not available, a blended brand such as Parachute can be used if it burns properly.

No. Do it at bhoomi poojan or shilanyas, when the first slab is laid, when the main door frame is installed and on griha pravesh; the start of construction and griha pravesh are essential. Also do it after a renovation in which walls are broken, for a marriage, the start of a job or business and the birth of a child, and once a year on a swayam siddh muhurta such as Akha Teej or Gudi Padwa for a year of happiness and peace.

Someone who represents Brahmin qualities by conduct, not by birth: a vegetarian of good character with a pure mind. A person who eats non-veg, drinks or does wrong deeds turns the pooja into a mere show. Wear the janeu, purify yourself and wear clean or new clothes.

Yes. Use the name as Om Shri [devta name] Namah, or the beej syllable of the devta element between Om and Namah, since every devta is made of the five elements. These short mantras are easy for clients and no less effective than the long ones in Samarangan Sutradhar and Vishwakarma Prakash; offering bhog samagri uses a separate mantra.

There are 45 devtas, but 4 more devtas stand on all four sides to protect them, so basically there are 49. Bhog samagri is offered to these 4 guardians as well, after the 45.

More bones remained in the case discussed. Bones are traced where the dowsing rod or pendulum turns anti-clockwise, or where the swar shifts into sushumna. Remove the soil over at least a 10 x 10 ft area around the spot, 5 ft from the centre in each direction, down to the depth where the bone lay plus another 1 to 1.5 ft, and throw it away. Then purify the land.

Removing the bone is not enough; the land needs its rites, just as a house is purified after a death. Do a vastu registry with five coconuts (four corners and the bone spot), remove the affected soil, do agni sanskar with mango wood, ghee and camphor in 16 places and float the ash in flowing water, purify with water and mantra, sprinkle gomutra and plaster with cow dung, put lime and sulphur in the pit, keep a lamp burning there for 24 hours, and mix a little mercury into the soil and the four corners. If the shilanyas had already been done, it is broken and must be redone after purification.

Itching below the navel indicates a four-legged animal and above the navel a two-legged one. For an animal the itching shows at both places: for a dog it first comes in the legs and then immediately on the head.

Yes, dig vandana with yellow mustard helps. The biggest brahmastra for labour problems is a mustard oil lamp lit in the South-East (Agni kon), because Saturn rules labour and mustard oil belongs to Saturn; a black lamp is even better.

The case looks very difficult, but give a command and spread a full layer of energised yellow mustard under her, together with gomti chakra, and simply carry on with this remedy.

No. Walls enclosing a house are normal; covering means burying a corner under a huge mass, such as a boulder fill 35 to 40 ft long or a thousand bricks stacked permanently in one corner. Energy moves through all four corners, so keep them free of such heavy masses whatever the direction.

Write both names on gomti chakra, at least five of them, and put them with about 125 g of energised yellow mustard in a potli. Whoever wants the relationship keeps it under their mattress and every day gives the command that the partner has come back and is on the bed. This brings back friendly behaviour.

Yes, Basant Panchami is very good for it. Gomti chakra is energised with the same raksha mantra used for yellow mustard, since both are used for protection.

Keep at least 25 g of yellow mustard. Adding gomti chakra is very good: at least five, or seven, always an odd number.

Yes. A loan is cleared only when the business starts running, and gomti chakra and yellow mustard help the business a lot.
