Gaj Kesari yoga (Jupiter with the Moon, neither debilitated, in a kendra or trikona) is the finest raj yoga; having such a person install the mangal kalash of a home or business makes it prosper manifold.
Home or business premises
A newly built house catches nazar (evil eye) as soon as people start entering; a small swastik drawn with kajal at the four corners or at the entrance removes nazar dosh, and it is essential in business premises.
Four corners or the entrance of a new home or business
Energised yellow mustard is thrown towards each direction in turn while chanting the dig vandana mantra, or with a command and Om, to clear the negative energy coming from every side. It is done daily for a shop that is not running and before any work on unknown land.
Facing each direction in turn at the shop, house or land
After Om and swastik the kalash is the greatest symbol and is established before every beginning (wedding, business start, construction, any of the 16 sanskar). A filled mangal kalash with a coconut in the North-East of every home, factory and office forms Gajkesari yoga and balances the five elements.
North-East of every home, factory and office; a clay kalash can go in any direction
Griha arambh (start of construction), griha pravesh, factory opening and other auspicious (mangalik) events are held in daytime, because work begun with the sun's energy goes well. After sunset creation is considered asleep.
Vastu poojan is done not only at the start of construction but at several stages and family events; at griha arambh and griha pravesh it is essential.
The whole house, with an offering at every devta pad
A yes or no question put to a prepared pendulum, such as whether to open a general store or which subject to study, is answered by a clockwise (yes) or anticlockwise (no) turn.
Swar vigyan (the science of breath) works even where Vastu and other sciences fail: a pinch of dust placed in a house at the right swar works like gold. Starting work, griha pravesh, treatments and land testing should all be done by swar.
The 11th house rules gains; use the colour of its lord for business, and choose a shop or office in the direction where that lord sits in the chart.
Shop or office direction
A planet-wise list of businesses by door direction was shared as a PDF: the East (Sun) and North-East group suits education, paper, wood, milk, grain, consultancy, political and administrative trades, and the South-East (Mars, fire) suits electrical, hotel, restaurant and cosmetics businesses.
Door direction of the business premises
Take the pendulum with all its precautions and ask, for example: should I open a general store? If yes, turn clockwise; if no, anticlockwise. If it turns clockwise, select that business. Do not ask the next question at once; dip the pendulum in salt water again first. It can also tell whether a running business will do well later.
No. Do it at bhoomi poojan or shilanyas, when the first slab is laid, when the main door frame is installed and on griha pravesh; the start of construction and griha pravesh are essential. Also do it after a renovation in which walls are broken, for a marriage, the start of a job or business and the birth of a child, and once a year on a swayam siddh muhurta such as Akha Teej or Gudi Padwa for a year of happiness and peace.
