Remedies, methods and rules

Remedyकीलन

Kilan With Copper Nails to Separate Two Merged Flats With a Toilet at the Centre

When two flats are merged and the toilet falls at the new centre, do kilan separately for each flat: four copper nails at the corners of one flat and four at the corners of the other, so that the energy current moves along each set of nails and the two flats work as separate units.

The four corners of each of the two merged flats

Remedyजादू की पोटली

Gomti Chakra Potli in Red, Yellow or White for Health, Business or Studies

A potli of purified, energised gomti chakra mixed with a little yellow mustard, made on a swayam siddh muhurta in red cloth for illness, yellow for business and white for studies. With a kesar swastik and a wish on every gomti chakra it becomes a jadoo ki potli (magic potli) that keeps fulfilling the wish.

Red: with the patient or tied to the bed; yellow: at the business place; white: on the study table or near the books; in the pocket for business meetings

Questions and answers

Is there a particular muhurta for doing kilan?
During Diwali puja the deity faces South and we face North. Is that right?

No, it is wrong. Seat the deity in the West facing East, and sit so that you look at the deity while your face is towards the North. The Lord's direction is what matters, just as the teacher's direction matters in a classroom.

In the main door picture, which were the jharokhas and which were the niches (aale)?

The small niches were made for lamps; they are the eyes of the door, and lamps placed in them open its eyes. The jharokhas beside them are the ears. Lamps must be lit in the niches on festivals such as Diwali, Dussehra, Holi and Raksha Bandhan, and in royal houses they were lit daily; a house whose eyes stay open keeps a right watch over everyone. If a door, even one in a wrong place, is decorated like this with small desi cow ghee lamps in the niches, its defects do not apply.
