Cautions
Explanation and notes
N1: death-like suffering. N2: enemies multiply, first within the family and then among relatives, society and business people. N3: sons and wealth, a very good door. N4 (Bhallat): the best of all 32, the vipul sampada dwar, wealth pouring in as if through the roof (chappar phaad); in one case a childless industrialist left his entire fortune by will to his chartered accountant, and that house had a complete N4 door decorated exactly as an N4 door should be. A student reported that after two flats were merged and the door shifted onto N4, the family soon received a large compensation for ancestral land. N5: wealth together with dharma and fame in society and business. N6: the stress door, constant tension and opposition between father and son. N7: possible mental disorders or faults of conduct in women. N8: the door of poverty; together with E1 (fire fear) the North-East corner doors keep a person short of money and borrowing. The North is influenced by the Moon and is the direction of Kuber; where the Moon is strong, wealth never runs short. Results are not guaranteed: sometimes a third factor at the site is already remedying a wrong door.
The main door is the door of fortune: like the two nostrils it draws nature-given positive energy into the whole house and lets negative energy out. Its two shutters stand for ida and pingala, the two breaths that alternate roughly every hour.
Design the main door like a face: two shutters as the nostrils, two small niches as the eyes, two jharokhas as the ears, an Om or swastik as the tilak, and the threshold and upper frame as the lips. Ancient texts say such decoration multiplies the power of the main door many times.
Divide the 360 degrees around the centre of the house into 32 padas of 11.25 degrees each, one for each of the 32 guardian devtas of the outer ring, named E1 to E8, S1 to S8, W1 to W8 and N1 to N8. The pada in which the main door falls tells its result.
In the East, E3 is the best door with abundant wealth and E4 brings government support and respect, while E5 suits administrators only. E1, E6, E7 and E8 should not hold the main door.
In the South only S4 (Grihakshat) gives happiness, peace, prosperity and business profit. S2, S3, S5, S6, S7 (the debt door) and S8 bring lack of children, servitude, suffering, selfishness, debt and disease.
In the West, W4 (Pushpadant) showers wealth and W5 (Varun) also gives wealth, while W1, W2, W3, W6, W7 and W8 bring short life, overspending, loss of money, government trouble, disease and a destructive mind.
Large business doors and shop shutters often span two to four padas. When the favourable pada, for example S4, is fully included and open, the door gives the results of that pada.
E3, N4 and W4 are the three vipul sampada (abundant-wealth) doors. Virtual doors marked on these padas are heavily promoted, but they give only a tiny fraction of the result of an actually opened door.
