Dwar Dosh: Leaning, Holed, Back-Side and Obstructed Main Doors

Even an N4 door fails if it leans, has holes, stands at a dead end, is reached from the back of the house, or is obstructed by a pit, tree, pillar or T in front. Such defects (dwar dosh and dwar vedh) cancel the good of the pada.

What it does

Helps spot door defects that block the good results of a door.

Where

Main door and the area just inside and outside it

Samagri used

  • Plumb line (sahul) to check the door

See every other use of:

Sahul (Plumb Line)

How to do it

  1. 1Check the door with a plumb line: it must stand true, neither leaning in nor out
  2. 2Check the leaf for holes and crookedness
  3. 3Look for pits, tanks, trees, pillars, columns or a T-junction at or in front of the door
  4. 4Close any underground tank or pit just inside the entrance

Cautions

  • A door leaning inward can bring the death of the house owner
  • A door with holes brings failure, disease and lack of money
  • A door at a dead end or on a T ruins everything
  • A prishth bhang door, reached by going round the house to the back, does not give full results even on N4

Explanation and notes

Gravity works with a door only when it is in plumb (soot and sahul). Energy of a particular composition enters through the door; if a pit or underground tank lies right inside, all that energy falls into the pit, so even an N3-N4 entrance gives nothing.

Main Door Must Have Two Shutters (Ida and Pingala Principle)

The main door is the door of fortune: like the two nostrils it draws nature-given positive energy into the whole house and lets negative energy out. Its two shutters stand for ida and pingala, the two breaths that alternate roughly every hour.

Face-Like Main Door: Lamp Niches, Jharokhas, Tilak Symbol and Lips

Design the main door like a face: two shutters as the nostrils, two small niches as the eyes, two jharokhas as the ears, an Om or swastik as the tilak, and the threshold and upper frame as the lips. Ancient texts say such decoration multiplies the power of the main door many times.
