In a new flat handed over by the builder the toilet seat is already fitted but is not level. How can it be corrected?
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.
Pictures of the Sun with running horses are popular in homes. In which direction should they be placed?
A picture of the Sun goes only in the East. Make sure it really is the Sun: a Sun-like figure with a moustache is Shani Dev, and in one prominent family his images on both gates facing the house were followed by incurable illness in member after member.
What does it mean if a kite or a crow strikes someone on the head with its beak or claws, sometimes two family members on the same day?
It is a negative sign. A bird striking the head gives a health-related indication and warns that an illness may be coming. This is part of the wider subject of ashtang nimitta.
Does a sinus problem or a cold affect the swar, and how can swar help a heavy cold?
Yes, the swar becomes reversed; during a cold the Chandra swar runs more. To clear accumulated kapha, change the swar and run the Surya swar, forcibly if needed; congestion built up over many days takes time and will not clear in a day. The body stays warm inside however cold it is outside, just as borewell water comes out warm in winter.
After a puja place built right next to a toilet in a relative house was corrected, I had blood in my stools for 8 to 10 days, and I still feel the same vibe when discussing it. What does such an energy impact indicate?
It indicates negative energy at that place. Dowsers and highly sensitive persons feel such energy much more strongly, and your body was able to sense it; talking about it connects you to it again. The teacher has had similar reactions at sites, once with his whole body going limp, red and sweating and with severe loose motions.
How can we protect ourselves when visiting a site with strong negative energy, whose effect continues even after leaving?
Protection methods are taught in later classes. Even with protection, very strong negative energy will make the body react while you are there, just as wind touches you whatever shield you make, but with a protective shield (suraksha kavach) it cannot do more than that reaction.
Does a toilet in the North-East always cause cancer, and is every South-facing house bad?
No. If it did, the owners of five and seven star hotels, which commonly have toilets in the North-East, would suffer first, and every South-facing owner would be ruined. Vastu must be read together with the planets of the person, which are exalted and which debilitated, instead of blindly applying one rule to everyone.
The air element of my rented flat is disturbed and I have severe gastric problems. What can I do?
Use green colour and a flag-like pattern: put up a flag (dhwaj) in the North-West and, if possible, open the North-West with a window; this brings at least some balance. Swar vigyan can do still more without expense or demolition.
I am pregnant and have stopped my nadi shodhan practice. What can I do?
The meditative form of nadi shodhan and the 72 kala practice can still be done, inhaling energy to charge the baby.
Two flats were merged 10 to 12 years ago, the toilet and bath now fall at the centre, and the head of the family has stomach problems. Can the house be given two centres?
Either remove the toilet, which is rarely practical, or keep the two flats separate through kilan: four copper nails at the corners of one flat and four at the corners of the other. At griha pravesh a raksha sutra is tied around the house and nails are fixed at the four corners so that the current moves along them, and kilan divides the current the same way. Even on the third floor, simply drill and fix 1.5-inch copper nails.
What should be done for a severe gas problem in the family?
Balance the air element of the house.
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.
What happens when the Shikhi (E1) zone is cut, raised, dirty or uneven?
Shiva's third eye opens, meaning upheaval. The mind gets blocked, with no vision, ideas, routine or purpose in business, studies or life, and there can be fire, accidents, anger and brain problems, with migraine, vertigo and weak eyesight. Fungus or dampness at Shikhi keeps illness in the house. Kept clean and balanced, the zone makes residents far-sighted, high-thinking, quick in decisions, calm and steady in mind, and gives them forewarning of coming events.
Why should a house door, kitchen or toilet not be built at Shikhi (E1), and which doors are allowed there?
Shikhi sits there and the spot holds heat and fire, so a house door at E1 can cause fire incidents and accidents. A boundary-wall gate is allowed, being in the pishach bhoomi, and so is the door of a temple or other religious building, a school or a college, because such buildings represent Jupiter and become the yogi's own home. A kitchen at Shikhi keeps health poor and brings memory loss, money problems, anger, indecision and a blocked mind, and a toilet there in the North-East stops vansh vriddhi (growth of the family line).
Why does an imbalanced Parjanya cause liver problems?
When rain is excessive or fails, production suffers and insects attack the crop, and eating such infested grain damages the liver. So an imbalanced Parjanya damages the liver of the residents; its right bhog is sprouted moong or sprouted salad.
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.
After placing sweets and later chanting the mantra 27 times at a devta place, I felt strong heat in my body. Why?
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.
A young woman has been in a coma for months and scans show nothing. Can any remedy help?
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.
Bones attract negative energy, yet medical students keep skeleton parts in their hostel rooms and sometimes fall into depression. What should they do?
They should carry a small red potli of yellow mustard, about one inch, in the pocket; then the bones will not trouble them.
A young woman who went through a Rahu-Ketu period and a spirit influence is now bedridden and cannot stand despite physiotherapy. What can help?
Spirits inside a person disturb the whole body and drain its energy. Cupping therapy was suggested for the body, and she should always keep yellow mustard with her. Along with it hing must be used: burning hing and making her smell it drives away any spirit at once, and it can be burnt on paper or on powdered camphor.
Is it true that one should not sleep near electric switches?
Yes. The more electromagnetic current there is near you, the more it affects the nadis, the body and blood circulation, so keep the bed well away from switch boards. The minimum distance is transcribed as 35 feet, which may be 3 to 5 feet; check the class recording.
Why do doctors wear green or blue aprons, and why do hospitals use green?
To keep Budh (Mercury), the planet of intellect, alert: if the mind or concentration slips during an operation, everything goes wrong. Green also nullifies infrared rays and bad energies, so hospitals mostly use green, pista, white and blue.
You explained which vitamins and minerals the Sun gives in different zones. Will we learn which disease comes from which zone-wise deficiency?
Yes. Health is taught in detail in the diploma, including which zone supplies which vitamin and mineral. Nature gives these through the zones, but we fail to recognise them.
Why should the kitchen platform be L-shaped or straight (I-shaped) and not U-shaped?
The kitchen is fire, and a person standing at an L-shaped platform forms a triangle, the shape of fire. A U-shape forms the water element, a wavy, moon-like structure, and in homes with moon-like structures the health of women stays poor.
Should black stone be used for the kitchen platform?
No. Black represents the water and space elements, and looking at black continuously weakens the eyesight. Tiny insects, bacteria and ants cannot be seen on black stone, so they get mixed into the food.
