What it does
To make land energy the first test before buying or building on any land.
Cautions
Explanation and notes
Earlier classes covered slope, plot shape and the surrounding (existing) vastu. Slope matters most in industrial vastu: with a wrong slope an industry rarely completes even a five-year plan. When the North, North-North-East or East side of a project gets covered or built up, the life-giving air (pran dayini vayu) reaching it slowly fades; in one case a cable factory declined steadily and ended as an NPA after another factory was built on its open North-East side. In a case shared in class, a house built fully as per vastu (kitchen in the South-East, correct stairs, underground water tank) and treated with many tape and colour remedies still did not improve, because the land energy itself was negative. There are 1008 methods to test land energy; each of the eight types of nimitta alone carries 108 methods.
The threshold (dehleez) of the home acts as a testing machine: the moment you step over it to go and see a plot, flat or factory, your breath and body signal whether that property is good. Equal flow in both nostrils or left-side body signs warn against it; earth or water element in the breath and right-side signs approve it.
Shakun shastra (nimitta gyan) reads the signs met on the way to a property; certain sights and events on the journey warn that the plot or flat is not good. They arise because the land's energy is already acting on the visitor's body chemistry.
Certain mangalik (auspicious) sights on the way to a property show that the plot or flat is very auspicious and will keep filling life with happiness.
Where a bird's droppings fall on the visitor's body or clothes, where the visitor gets hurt, or where itching starts on the way to or while walking a land points to the matching part of the Vastu Purush where a defect or buried bone (shalya) lies.
The behaviour of street dogs, jackals and crows at a plot or flat reveals its quality: a crow cawing while facing East or North is a good sign, while crying dogs and a crow on a dry tree are grave warnings.
Twitching of an eye on reaching a land shows its quality, read in opposite ways for men and women: the right eye is auspicious for a man and the left eye for a woman.
What one first sees and hears on stepping onto a land or into a flat indicates its energy: black items, broken things, snake holes and harsh sounds are bad signs, while a conch, aarti or auspicious songs, a rainbow or a joyful sky are good ones.
Clothes that tear, get a hole, or get soiled with mud, dung or dirty water on the way to or at a land signal that the land is not good; the position of a tear shows how bad it is.
