Ghat Diya with Four Coloured Wicks to Find the Defective Direction

A ghee diya with white, red and yellow wicks pointing to the four directions is lit on a water-filled earthen ghat in the North-East, over a mantra written in kesar; a wick that goes out before the ghee ends points to the direction holding a defect.

Ati Marma Check for Sudden Quarrels, Losses and Unexplained Illness

When a house built to good Vastu suddenly sees quarrels, business loss, restless children, bad dreams or a family member who stays ill, check what sits on its ati marma points. Shoes, a dustbin, a used plate or heavy goods placed there can trigger such trouble, and moving them brings quick relief.

Questions and answers

How much taller, and how close, must a building to the North be before it harms our building?

If your building is 16 feet high, a northern building up to 1 to 2 feet taller is acceptable, but one 4 to 5 feet or more taller, such as 20 feet, causes much harm. Distance removes the effect: a taller building or raised hill standing at least double your building's height away has no effect, so a 70-foot building is not affected by a building of double height 150 feet away.

If a much taller building is built only 10 to 12 feet in front of a third-floor flat, how does it affect the flat?

If a proper distance is maintained there is no problem, but a building many times taller standing close in front, within roughly 25 to 50 feet, has a bad effect. This is why the lowest floors of a building are the cheapest and the upper floors the costliest. Remedies for this are taught later.

I have booked a flat in a building that has a river flowing in the South, across the road. Is that a defect?

No. When a road runs between the property and the source of a vedh, such as a river, the defect does not apply.

People boil milk when entering a new flat; is there a science behind it?

Yes, it is nimitta gyan and not merely a custom of letting milk boil over for luck. If the milk heats fully and boils over without any sound, it is auspicious, a sign that the offering has been accepted. If it crackles or pops like ghee on heat, some ritual was left incomplete or some defect remains in the construction or the griha pravesh. The colour of the flame where milk or ghee falls, red, yellow or black, is also read.

Our house faces a cremation ground and despite hard work we have had no results for four years. What should we do?

A house facing a cremation ground drains about 90% of the effort, and changes made in it give only about 10% results. Mercury and mercury nails placed all around give some relief but not full results. Plan to leave the house and take another one in time to secure the future of the children.

If a person's date of birth is not known correctly and no kundli can be made, how are their land and house planned?

The planets are still there even if the kundli is lost. A perfect kundli can be made from the thumb through Bhrigu Samhita, and Nadi astrologers also prepare it. A Prashna kundli can be cast, and Samudrik shastra (reading the body) also shows which planets are exalted or debilitated. Get this worked out by an astrologer.

Is choosing the door related to astrology?

Yes. With the person's astrology as the base, the door is chosen according to whom it will suit. The class covers three ways, by rashi, by exalted and debilitated planets in the birth chart, and by mulank, and the birth chart carries the most weight.

The husband paid for the house but the registry is in the wife's or mother's name. Whose chart is used?

The chart of the person whose money is invested is used, even if the registry is in someone else's name.
