Principle
Planets and Their Metals in the Eight Directions
Each direction is the seat of a planet with its own metal; keeping that metal in that direction captures and multiplies the planet's energy there and neutralises negative energy.
Principle
How Much Planetary Energy Trees, Mirrors, Water, Yantras and Metals Capture
Only about 55 percent of the Sun's energy reaches the earth. Of that, trees and plants capture about 95 percent, mirrors 80, pyramids 65, water 60, yantras 60 to 90, metals 45 and stones 35, while plastic and petroleum by-products capture none.
What it does
Guides which articles to use in decor to raise a room's energy the most.
Where
Room decoration in general; plants are chosen by planet and direction
Samagri used
- Trees and indoor or outdoor plants: about 95 percent
- Mirror: about 80 percent
- Pyramid: about 65 percent
- Water, especially for Moon energy: about 60 percent
- Yantras: about 60 to 90 percent
- Metal objects such as iron, gold, silver, brass, copper, ashtadhatu and bronze: about 45 percent
- Stone in flooring and walls: about 35 percent
Cautions
- Plastic and other petroleum by-products capture no planetary energy; avoid them in energetic interiors
Explanation and notes
The Sun's rays take about 8 minutes 20 seconds to reach the earth and about 45 percent of their energy is lost on the way. Trees are the real diamonds: no gold, silver, stone or diamond matches their capacity, and trees sense events such as earthquakes first. Indoor and outdoor plants chosen by planet and direction to nullify vastu dosh are taught later in the course. Fruits kept under a pyramid stay fresh because the pyramid captures planetary energy. A lens that focuses sunlight until paper catches fire shows how glass and mirrors gather energy.

Purpose of Interior Vastu: Changing the Mind Through Images (Chitra se Chitt)
Interior work is done to change the mind, because everything follows from the mind. Pictures, colours and objects (chitra) change the state of mind (chitt), so the goal the mind should be led to must be fixed first.

Which Planet Rules Which Household Objects
Planets act most strongly on particular objects: the Moon on white objects and liquids, the Sun and Mars on fire, light and electricity, Mars also on floors and land, Saturn on metal, dug land and machines, Jupiter on temples and the tijori, Venus on luxury objects and Mercury on TV, telephone and electronics.

Energy-Friendly Construction Materials: Bricks, Lime, Wood and Road Metal
Natural materials hold planetary energy while petroleum by-products hold none. Use fire-baked clay bricks, lime where possible, no more than two or three species of wood and black basalt road metal, and build walls in plumb with a honeycomb bond.
