Principle
Do Not Keep Lion Statues When the Sun Is Debilitated
A lion represents the Sun; if the owner's Sun is debilitated, lion statues at the main door or in the house bring ruin instead of power.

Myths to Avoid: Aluminium Wind Chimes, Laughing Buddha, Flute, Pig, Face-Only Idols
Several popular fancy-vastu items are not recommended: aluminium wind chimes pollute the air, the laughing Buddha and bamboo flutes under beams are myths, pig figures make no sense, and idols showing only a face or a half-cut deity are wrong.
What it does
Replace myths with proper energising items.

How to do it
- 1Remove aluminium wind chimes
- 2Fix a metal bell at the entrance that everyone rings on entering
- 3Replace the laughing Buddha with photos or artefacts of Ram, Hanuman or Mahavir
- 4Do not hang flutes under beams or keep pig figures
- 5Avoid head-only statues, half-cut Ganesh cut-outs and mounted antlered heads
Cautions
- Aluminium is harmful; air passing through such chimes pollutes instead of purifying
Explanation and notes
A bell rung by everyone entering makes the door and house energy positive. Statues of only the head of Buddha or a deity, and door handles shaped as faces, are wrong.

Mirror (Darpan) as Mangal: Water Element and the Right Walls
The mirror is one of the eight mangal items (ashtamangal) and is considered the best of them; it drives away negative energy and reflects energy when placed in the right direction. It represents the water element and the Moon, so it belongs on the North or East wall.
Remedy
Mirror in the Cash Box (Galla) and Wallet to Multiply Income
A mirror placed for income (aay) increases income: people keep a small mirror in the wallet or fix mirrors inside the galla or tijori so the money appears multiplied.
Remedy
Convex and Concave Mirrors to Correct a Cut or an Extension
As taught in class, a convex mirror makes a small space look bigger and extends it, while a concave mirror makes a big space look smaller; so a convex mirror treats a cut and a concave mirror treats an extension. A plain mirror can also extend a cut.
Principle
Mirror Shapes: Avoid Triangular, Pointed and Broken-Piece Mirrors
Square and rectangular mirrors are very good, but triangular and pointed-end mirrors are harmful, and mirrors cut into small pieces for scenery or glass temples (kaanch mandir) turn an auspicious item into an inauspicious one.
Principle
No Mirror-Polish Floor Tiles from South to West or in the Brahmasthan
A mirror deepens the surface it is on: on a wall it makes the space look extended, on the floor it creates a pit. Highly reflective tiles, marble or stone must not be used in the South to West zones or the Brahmasthan.
Energy Boosting
Mirror on the Brahmasthan Ceiling to Open It to the Sky
A mirror on the ceiling of the Brahmasthan is very good because it makes the ceiling open to the sky; this is why old chandeliers (jhoomar) had mirror bases.
Remedy
Balancing a South Mirror with an Equal Mirror on the North Wall
In a dressing room or bathroom mirrors should go on the North or East walls. If a wash basin is already in the South and its mirror must be there, fix a mirror of the same size on the North wall to balance it.

Pen Cap and Ink Colour by Name Rashi for Signing Documents
A signature can pass or cancel a proposal, a cheque or a property deal, so the pen used for signing is chosen by the rashi of the name you sign with: the cap or body colour and the ink colour are matched to that rashi. Only three inks are used for the 12 rashis: red, blue and green.
