Recording: Vastu devta class - 2
A short formula to build the mantra of any of the 45 devtas yourself: chant the name as Om Shri [devta name] Namah, or put the beej syllable of the devta element between Om and Namah.
The special treatment of Jayant: a round silver symbol of two moons joined into a full moon with a swastik engraved, placed at E3; for a major E3 dosh a silver tortoise is buried there.
E3 (Jayant) pad: tortoise in the ground, chhatra and moon on the wall
The tree of Jayant is sandalwood; since it cannot be grown in a pot, plant tulsi at E3 and stand a small sandalwood stick in the pot so the fragrance spreads through the house.
E3 (Jayant) pad
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.
E4 (Mahendra) pad; outside East doors
The vajra, the weapon of Indra, hung at the Mahendra pad or buried in its ground removes obstacles and demonic influences blocking happiness, prosperity and work.
E4 (Mahendra) pad
A havan of elaichi (cardamom) at the Mahendra pad, or elaichi tied in a green potli and hung there, supports the success, happiness and peace given by Indra dev.
E4 (Mahendra) pad
The special treatment of Mahendra is a silver moon engraved with a swastik (and the marks drawn in class), hung at the E4 pad at its time while the chandra swar flows with water or earth tatva.
E4 (Mahendra) pad, above navel height
Keep water in a gold vessel, or in a copper lota covered with a pyramid, at the Surya devta pad and drink it on waking to absorb the power of Surya.
E5 (Surya devta) pad, wherever it falls in the house
Every house should have a ruby (manik) buried in the ground of the East, especially where the East doors are closed or walls block the Sun.
East of the house, Surya (E5) pad
Rise before sunrise and do Surya namaskar; for better results fast on Sunday with one salt-free meal, or at least keep a one-hour fast without water after sunrise.
When work is never done on time and people do not keep time, place an ankush (elephant goad) at the Surya pad in the East and bury it in the ground, or bury a gold swastik there.
East, Surya devta (E5) pad, the fire point
When the East is fully blocked by an adjoining wall, make an opening (duct) from the top on the East side so the overhead Sun can send its rays inside at its time.
East side of the house
When there is too much lying in the house, draw a kesar swastik on a banyan leaf in an auspicious muhurta during chandra swar and place it at the Satya devta pad.
E6 (Satya) pad
When you need justice or the truth from someone, seat that person at the E6 (Satya) pad of the house facing East and they start telling the truth.
E6 (Satya) pad, facing East
Grate dried coconut (gola), mix it with white sandalwood and ghee, and perform a havan at the Bhrisha pad to remove confusion and decide quickly and correctly.
E7 (Bhrisha) pad
Bhrisha loves the champa and firdaus fragrances; use firdaus ittar when offering bhog or havan samagri, and apply it when the mind cannot concentrate or reach a decision.
E7 (Bhrisha) pad and on the person
In earlier times, when someone at home fell ill, people put ghee and a little rice on a cow dung cake (kanda); this was a method of activating the vastu devtas.
Bhog samagri is offered devta by devta, always starting with Indra (E4) and moving through Agni, Yama, Nairiti, Varun, Vayu, Kuber and Ishan through all 45, then to the 4 guardian devtas who protect them on the four sides.
Each marked devta pad on the house plan
A small silver moon fixed on the E3 wall with a 1-inch kesar swastik drawn just below it activates Jayant devta; a chhatra can be added.
Wall of the E3 (Jayant) pad, above navel height
Grow a lotus in water in a small kund or an earthen pot at the Mahendra pad; a lotus that grows, blooms fully and spreads fragrance shows Mahendra is active.
E4 (Mahendra) pad in the East
Havan ahutis of dried chameli (jasmine) and mogra flowers at the Mahendra pad spread their fragrance through the house and activate Mahendra devta.
E4 (Mahendra) pad
A havan of red flowers of every kind with red sandalwood (lal chandan) at the Surya pad activates Surya devta.
E5 (Surya) pad
Mix white sandalwood with coconut and ghee and perform a havan to strengthen Satya devta.
E6 (Satya) pad
The old custom of circling a coconut on Dussehra, Diwali or Holi when the house is full of confusion and work is not getting done is a way of activating Bhrisha devta, whose samagri is coconut.
E7 (Bhrisha) pad
Vastu poojan is done not only at the start of construction but at several stages and family events; at griha arambh and griha pravesh it is essential.
The whole house, with an offering at every devta pad
Each outer devta has a 45-minute active time, starting with Shikhi from 3:00 to 3:45 am and moving on by 45 minutes per devta: Jayant 4:30, Mahendra 5:15, Surya 6:00, Satya 6:45.
Perform a ghee havan; if the ghee fragrance spreads through the whole house, Jayant devta is active.
For the E3 (Jayant) pad
If a ghee lamp at the Satya pad keeps burning continuously for as long as it has ghee, Satya devta is active.
E6 (Satya) pad
Light a lamp of pure coconut oil at the Bhrisha pad: if the devta is active it burns for a long time; if it goes out at once or the oil changes colour while burning, the devta is not active.
E7 (Bhrisha) pad
When bhog samagri is offered at a devta pad holding negativity, the defect tries to come out: tiles, plaster or ground may crack, or itching or heat appears in the body part linked to that devta.
All devta pads
E3 suits the main door, a library, a planning or meeting room, an office, a child's study and even a bedroom; a kitchen works only for an early breakfast, and a toilet cuts social and government support.
E3 (Jayant) pad
E4 suits an administration chamber, office, main door, drawing room, study and bedroom and gives both wealth and peace; a toilet here brings defamation, loss of wealth and disease.
E4 (Mahendra) pad
E5 is the ideal zone for a bathroom and suits administration, a manager's chamber, a locker, planning, meeting and conference rooms and a good office; a door here brings anger and a toilet brings disgrace.
E5 (Surya) pad, East
Some texts use a word read as maans (meat) in devta offerings, but Vishwakarma Prakash clearly states that maash means black urad dal, made into a pithi (paste), not meat.
Vastu devta pooja bears fruit only when done by someone who represents Brahmin qualities by conduct rather than birth: vegetarian, of good character and pure in mind and feeling.
Like the full aspect of Jupiter in a kundli, a devta casts its full drishti on the devta opposite it (for example Surya on Varun) and keeps it balanced; if one devta cannot be treated, balance the one whose full drishti falls on it.
Opposite devta pads, such as East and West
Metal is a good conductor and spreads energy, so steel or metal strips set around a toilet do not block it; blocking needs a bad conductor and must cover every side.
Toilet in a wrong devta pad
Every symbol has placement rules (height, inside the room, never at foot level, never in a toilet); a swastik is never put in a toilet at any cost.
Never in a toilet
Doors should not be opened by vastu alone; if the person has a debilitated Sun in the birth chart, forcing open an E3 or E4 door is not appropriate.
East doors at E3 and E4
For a new building the boundary gate is placed using the grid of the whole plot, while the main door and the devta pads of the house are marked on the grid of the constructed area, for example at E3 or E4.
Boundary gate and house main door
Chant Om Bhaskaraya Namah from before sunrise until the Sun rises, sitting at the Surya pad or aligned towards it, to balance the fire element and Surya devta.
E5 (Surya) pad, facing East
Jayant, the third devta of the East (pad E3, in the outer paishachik ring), is the success-maker who completes any work by any means (saam, daam, dand, bhed) while following dharma, and converts knowledge into wealth. Its door is called the vipul sampada (abundant wealth) door because the grace of the Moon on this pad is very strong.
Pad E3 of the East side, 61.875 to 73.125 degrees (East-North-East zone), in the outer paishachik ring
Mahendra (Indra), the fourth devta of the East, is the king, sustainer and administrator who brings the energy of the planets, Sun, Moon and 27 nakshatras to earth and spreads it evenly through the house. It gives control over the mind and senses, right decisions, government support, contacts, name and fame.
Pad E4 of the East side, 73.125 to 84.375 degrees (East-North-East and East zones)
Surya, the fifth devta at the centre of the East, lights the three worlds, destroys darkness and negativity, gives energy to all planets and never misses its time. Balanced, it gives fearlessness, good decisions, speaking power, fame, leadership, government support and perfect time management.
Pad E5, the centre of the East, 84.375 to 95.625 degrees (East zone)
Satya, the sixth devta of the East, is the son of Dharma and stands for truth, goodwill and justice; like a village panchayat whose members speak the truth, it gives fair decisions. Balanced, it makes a person a good judge and advisor; imbalanced, lies spread through the house and honour is lost.
Pad E6 of the East side, the 11.25 degrees after Surya, 95.625 to 106.875 degrees (East and East-South-East zones)
Bhrisha, the seventh devta of the East, is weighty and powerful with its own gravity; balanced, it awakens the nerves of the brain and raises thinking power, observation and one-pointed concentration, like a bird gazing fixedly at one point. Imbalanced, the mind gets confused, the nature turns dominating and kidney problems appear.
Pad E7 of the East side, 106.875 to 118.125 degrees (East-South-East zone)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
