After demolition or the removal of a defect, a short Vastu pooja is done even when a full one is not possible: offer 45 small pieces of gud to the 45 devtas, or at least invoke the nine lords of the directions and the centre with the words Bho [name] Vastu Dev Vastu Shanti Kuru Kuru.
Each direction of the house, and the centre for Brahma
Gomti chakra bought from a shop are washed with gangajal, shown fire through a havan or burning camphor, then given a command and energised with mantra. Only then do they carry out the work assigned to them.
Mustard carries the energy of every hand that touched it, so it is washed or rubbed in a wet cloth and then energised with the raksha mantra, dipping two fingers into it or holding it in the fist. The same mantra energises gomti chakra.
A glass painting with a dotted board carrying a mantra (Navkar for Jains, Gayatri for Vaishnavs), tablas whose sound strikes the mantra and spreads it through the room, an ashtadhatu bell ringing above, and the symbol of the three lok with a blooming lotus.
A ghee diya with white, red and yellow wicks pointing to the four directions is lit on a water-filled earthen ghat in the North-East, over a mantra written in kesar; a wick that goes out before the ghee ends points to the direction holding a defect.

Which mantra is used while pouring water in the pit test and in the vastu devta havan, and where can it be found?
The water mantra chanted while pouring water into the pit is not found in Jinvani; it was to be shared with the class group (exact words: refer to the class recording), and the Gayatri Mantra can be used instead. The Bhoomi Jagran Mantra used for aahuti on the land is found in the book Pratishtha Parag, a text on pratishtha (consecration).
With which mantra should a dowsing rod or pendulum be cleaned?
There is one mantra of the five elements for cleaning any object that has absorbed energy. It follows the Bhoomi Jagran Mantra but names the rod's own space (mam rod kshetre) in place of the land; exact words: refer to the class recording.
Shikhi lies in the pishach bhoomi, so where should one sit for its jaap?
One cannot sit in the pishach bhoomi itself. Sit facing East in padmasan or sukhasan, project your vision to the devta's place as if through a telescope and visualise it, and chant the Shikhi mantra on a silver or gold mala, as many rounds as possible, in the period up to 3:00 am; with aahuti the mantra ends in swaha. It helps when the mind is blocked, business ideas do not come or children cannot memorise. Exact words: refer to the class recording.
Can we create the mantras of the vastu devtas ourselves?
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.
Can the gomti chakra potli for a cut North-East be made on Basant Panchami, and which mantra energises gomti chakra?
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.
Can energised yellow mustard be bought ready-made, or should we prepare it ourselves?
Yellow mustard is available everywhere in India, and it is better to clean and energise it yourself, because energised items lose their power in transport, for example if they lie on the ground or someone's foot touches them. If you cannot read the mantra, chant Om 108 or 27 times; there is no greater mantra.
When energising yellow mustard with the mantra, must the fingers be placed in it?
Yes. While chanting, dip the middle and ring fingers into the mustard, or hold it in the fist, for example by taking it from the bowl into the whole fist, and energise it with the raksha mantra.
My Saturn is debilitated and my school uniform is blue. What should I do?
The uniform cannot be changed. Chant the beej mantra of Saturn and do Saturn remedies such as donating its items; for example, donate five shirts to poor children, and the effect gets balanced.
The 10th lord Saturn sits in the 10th house in its own sign but is at 28 degrees and combust. What should be done?
It cannot give its good result because of its degree, so give it power. Power is best given by chanting its beej mantra; every planet has one, and the Jain and Hindu agams give different versions.
Jupiter is at 0 degrees in my chart and Rahu is in the 12th at 0 degrees; what should I do?
Chant the beej mantra of Jupiter (the beej mantras were shared in the group); it is the simplest method. Do Rahu's beej mantra too; Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets, so when Rahu is treated Ketu is treated as well.
