Principleश्मशान
House Facing a Cremation Ground (Shamshan)
A house whose front faces a cremation ground does not give results even with correct facing and a correct door; most of the hard work drains away.
Method
Indra-Yama-Raj Count for the Last Step of a Staircase
Stairs carry three currents linked with ida, pingala and sushumna, named Indra, Yama and Raj; count the steps in that repeating order so the last step falls on Indra or Raj, never on Yama.
What it does
Ensures the stair current reaches the upper floor as positive.

- 2Adjust the number of steps so the top step falls on Indra or Raj
- 3Combine this with the odd-number rule
Cautions

Explanation and notes
When the last step ends on Raj or Indra, the current reaches that floor as positive.

Principleचित्र से चित्त में परिवर्तन
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.
Principle
What Each of the Eight Directions Gives: Quick Reference for Interiors
Recap of the main department of each of the eight directions, used to match rooms and activities to zones.
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.
Remedy
Concave and Convex Mirrors to Enlarge a Cut or Reduce an Extension
In older vastu practice mirrors were the main tool of dosh nivaran: a mirror can make a cut area look larger or an oversized extension look smaller.
Remedyशरद पूर्णिमा जल
Sharad Purnima Moonlit Water in a Silver Pot for Acidity
Water absorbs about 60 percent of the Moon's energy; a silver pot of water kept in the Sharad Purnima moonlight becomes a strong medicine for acidity.
Remedyअष्टधातु घंटी
Ashtadhatu Bell to Pacify the Nine Planets
A bell or ghanta made of ashtadhatu contains the metals of all nine planets, so ringing it spreads vibrations through the whole house and pacifies the planets.
Principle
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.
