Explanation and notes
Examples given: Bihar and Jharkhand hold much of the country's mineral wealth and coal, yet are not prosperous, and many of their people have moved elsewhere; Panna district in Madhya Pradesh yields diamonds from kimberlite rock and even on the surface, yet is among the poorest districts; whoever owned the Kohinoor had a bloody history; Rajasthan's prosperity has been wiped out again and again. Like wearing a 400 carat neelam when 4 carat is prescribed, or taking 20 paracetamol instead of one, an energy too strong for a person harms instead of helping: he cannot stay happy, healthy or prosperous. Metals associated with silicate minerals are not as bad. The Kolar Gold Fields in Karnataka are a very deep underground mine, and that land is good.
When selecting a plot, flat or industrial land, the energy of the land itself decides about 70 percent of the result, more than slope, shape or surrounding structures. A building made fully as per directional vastu can still fail on land with bad energy.
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.
