Vastu Devtas Work Best When Established at Garbh Vinyas or Shilanyas

The biggest pooja, havan and sthapana of the 45 devtas should be done at garbh vinyas or shilanyas, while the devtas are on open ground and can receive their samagri at their own pads; the building is then raised over them.

What it does

Gets the full effect of the devtas instead of the partial effect of later remedies.

Havan Samagri

How to do it

  1. 1At garbh vinyas or shilanyas, divide the land into pishach, manushya, dev and brahma bhoomi
  2. 2Perform the vastu pooja and havan for the devtas around the land
  3. 3Offer each devta its samagri on the ground at its own pad
  4. 4Then raise the plinth and building over them, which covers and protects the established devtas

Cautions

  • Worship done only after construction gives a much smaller effect; later remedies activate a devta only about 30 to 35 percent

Explanation and notes

A child needs a seed in the womb, and food works only through the mouth, not the ear or nose. A cow is first tied at its place and the shed is built around it; in the same way the devtas are established first and then covered by the house. They live on the ground, not in the sky, so they are fed on the ground at shilanyas. The teacher put the effect of worship done later at about 35 percent, adding that even 5 percent is a lot, and warned that much of what is said about the 45 devtas today is misleading.

Origin of Vastu Purush and the 45 Devtas, and Why They Matter

During Shiva's battle with Andhakasura a drop of his sweat produced a starving mahabhoot; devas and asuras laid him face down and 45 devtas sat on him, creating 45 places with separate functions on every plot. Brahma made him his manas putra and promised that whoever occupies land would remember and feed him.
