Questions and answers

Can nadi shodhan be done during pregnancy?

Only partly; the complete nadi shodhan practice cannot be done. In pregnancy it is done only in Chandra swar to heal the child: close the Surya swar, and in Chandra swar call the shaktis one by one, such as amrit shakti, gyan shakti and jeevant shakti out of the 47 types, inhale them and release them where the child is.

I am pregnant and have stopped my nadi shodhan practice. What can I do?

The meditative form of nadi shodhan and the 72 kala practice can still be done, inhaling energy to charge the baby.

In the house I am moving to, my room may fall in the Brahmasthan or the North-East. Which is right during pregnancy and delivery?

Do not stay in the Brahmasthan at any cost; sleeping in the drawing room, or even on the road, would be better. If zoning the whole area puts the room in the North-East, it can be used with discretion, but it is not ideal; the best zone for a delivery is the South-West, the zone of stability. A backyard on the North side is good.

A family with an N4 door has had only boys across generations. What can be done for a girl child?

N4, like N3 and W4, is a door that brings sons. Open an E2 door, which brings the birth of daughters. A home without a daughter is not a complete home.

Parjanya is the devta of fertility, so why is married life said to be not allowed in a bedroom at E2?

A bedroom at Parjanya was never forbidden; it gives peace and deep sleep. What does not suit it is going there only for pleasure. When a couple goes there with the intention of having a child, following the method of establishing a kalash and keeping a diya, and conceives there, they give birth to the best child.

Is vastu poojan done only when construction starts?

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.
