A garland of makhana strung on thread and a picture of a cow suckling its calf, kept at the Parjanya pad, treat poor production and poor results in education.
Parjanya pad, E2
Bhrisha loves the champa and firdaus fragrances; use firdaus ittar when offering bhog or havan samagri, and apply it when the mind cannot concentrate or reach a decision.
E7 (Bhrisha) pad and on the person
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
Gomti chakra spread under the mattress, or kept under a child's pillow, sharpens the mind and prevents bad dreams. It also gives restful sleep to people who have to sleep in a wrong zone such as the South-South-West or West-North-West.
Under the mattress or pillow, especially when the bed is in the SSW, WNW or another wrong zone
One gomti chakra kept in a pocket of a child's school bag stops the negative energy of other children and places from affecting the child and the bag.

Painting a school or study room in green (Mercury, intellect) and ivory (Jupiter, education) restores children's health and concentration.
School buildings, classrooms and children's study rooms
Four round natural stones of about 100 to 150 g each, kept on the study table or in the room, support a child's memory, confidence, creativity and concentration.
Study table or study room, in any direction
A metal or paper pyramid placed on the head for 10 minutes when tired, and pyramids kept on top of each book studied, keep a child's energy positive and concentration high.
On the study table and on the child's books; also on every table of a library
A Saraswati picture, a saffron swastik in the child's eye line and on the table, a peacock-feather swastik on the West wall and a picture of a revered guru support a child's studies.
Study room: kesar swastik at eye level and on the table, peacock-feather swastik on the West wall
To motivate a child to study, a swastik is drawn with affirmations on its arms: East, I am all-knowing; South, I am all-powerful; West, I am all-capable; North, I am all-wealthy; and Soham (I am That) at the centre.
Child's study place; all directions allowed
Peacock feathers contain mercury, and no negativity survives where mercury is; a framed swastik made of sorted peacock feathers placed in the West fulfils wishes, removes vastu dosh and brings success in work and in children's education.
West
A painting of Om forms placed on the eight petals of a lotus (four directions and four vidishas), with the ancient Om at the top; it distributes the energy of Om in all eight directions.
Temples, home puja room, children's study area
Chanting the Shikhi devta mantra at its pad, facing East on a silver or gold mala in the devta's pre-dawn period, clears a blocked mind and brings vision and ideas. With aahuti the mantra ends in swaha.
Shikhi pad, E1, facing East
Bhrisha, the seventh devta of the East, is weighty and powerful with its own gravity; balanced, it awakens the nerves of the brain and raises thinking power, observation and one-pointed concentration, like a bird gazing fixedly at one point. Imbalanced, the mind gets confused, the nature turns dominating and kidney problems appear.
Pad E7 of the East side, 106.875 to 118.125 degrees (East-South-East zone)
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.
Facing North uses the earth's magnetic field for attraction and focus: in business the owner faces North to draw customers, cash drawers and the tijori face North, and tratak or hypnotism is practised facing North.
Owner's seat facing North; tijori and cash drawers facing North
The sun's movement from East to West creates a magnetic effect with North and South poles. A plot, building, room or hall whose North-South axis is longer (chandra-bhedi) holds the strongest magnetic field, giving attraction and concentration; one whose East-West axis is longer is called surya-bhedi.
Plots, buildings, rooms, halls, classrooms and office chambers
Children who cannot concentrate on studies often have a study table that is not level, so the gravitational force on it is not balanced. The same applies to a shop counter and the owner's seat (gaddi).
Children's study table, cash counter and the owner's gaddi
The East is ruled by Indra, its planet is the Sun, its gem is ruby (manik), its symbol is the vajra and its vehicle the Airavat elephant; in the Vastu Purush it is the mouth. A strong East brings production, talent, children's progress, health and immunity.
East zone
The North-East is ruled by Isha, its planet is Jupiter (Guru), the greatest of the planets, its gem is yellow sapphire (pukhraj), its symbol is the kalash and its vehicle the horse; in the Vastu Purush it is the head and brain. It gives true knowledge, prosperity and peace.
North-East (Ishaan) zone
A circular plot is bad for homes and business but the best for temples and auspicious for a parliament. A pentagonal plot should never be bought, while a hexagonal plot with equal sides is never bad and suits temples, certain businesses and schools.
Whole plot or building
The dev bhoomi, the third band inward, can take everything the household needs, from the main door, windows and kitchen to bedrooms, dining, puja room and stairs. It is the best place for the puja room, the safe, a study room, a meditation room and all important documents, because this land is covered with divine qualities and makes work succeed.
Dev bhoomi
Nothing valuable or sacred should sit on the pishach bhoomi: never a tijori, court case or other important papers, a child's study table, a bed set directly against the wall, or a deity and home temple. Leaving even a 2 to 3 inch gap from the wall keeps an item off the pishach band.
The band along the walls of every zone, including the North-East
With sunrise the sun brings its full energy into the East, filling flowers and fruits with sweetness. The East is the zone of social contact, used to build sweetness in relationships, and its perfect magnetic balance is why the face of the deity is kept towards the East.
East zone; deity facing East; fruit trees in the East
In the East-South-East the sun, moving from infancy towards youth, gives energy that churns the mind, opening its doors and acting most on the Ajna chakra. It is the zone of churning (manthan), contemplation and analysis, and of anxiety if one keeps thinking without reaching conclusions.
East-South-East zone: curd churning, mixer-grinder, deep study
About two hours before sunrise the sun sends ultraviolet rays into the North-East, which bring the greatest alertness to the neurons and glial cells of the brain. This pure energy suits the pure soul, so the North-East is the zone of clarity of mind and the place for worship.
North-East zone: puja place
The South-West receives the energy of the North-East directly across 180 degrees, delivered to Pitra devta; it gives stability and awakens inner capacities, which brings business growth, success in work and success in education.
South-West zone
The West-South-West receives the energy of its opposite zone, the East-North-East, whose playfulness brings the water element and concentration to the neurons and glial cells. It is the best zone for study, and the sun, magnetic field and gravitational force strengthen memory here.
West-South-West zone: study table or study room
To make children excel in studies, for example to become IAS officers, correct the main door first; N3, E3 and E4 are the best doors for study.
Main door on N3, E3 or E4
A house with three doors on N4, E4 and S4 is a nandavart house; children born there are very good and rise high in education, politics or religion.
Doors on N4, E4 and S4
Every place, down to a tiny particle, has its own chemistry created by the sun, the moon and the planets, and work done in line with that chemistry goes very well, just as a chemistry formula needs its ingredients in a fixed ratio. Land is the biggest source of energy, whether it is called a devta or energy; activating the devta of a particular location and using it for its own type of work brings success in education, spirituality, business, politics and every other field. Energy works only when it is taken in, as dry fruits kept at home give energy only when eaten, so the devtas have to be activated.
One cannot sit in the pishach bhoomi itself. Sit facing East in padmasan or sukhasan, project your vision to the devta's place as if through a telescope and visualise it, and chant the Shikhi mantra on a silver or gold mala, as many rounds as possible, in the period up to 3:00 am; with aahuti the mantra ends in swaha. It helps when the mind is blocked, business ideas do not come or children cannot memorise. Exact words: refer to the class recording.
They should carry a small red potli of yellow mustard, about one inch, in the pocket; then the bones will not trouble them.
Primarily the grih swami's, the person whose money is going into the house, because the house affects the owner and his next three generations; do not go by the name the property is registered in, such as a daughter. The facing and main door are chosen from the grih swami's chart, for example North if his Mercury is exalted or his North-side planets are strong. Where a child sleeps or studies is decided from the child's own chart: if the child's Mercury is weak, seat him in the South instead of the North, following the 180-degree rule for a weak planet.
Yes, for small children below 12 years there is no problem; the belief that they will over-churn there is a myth. Adults' rooms should not be there, but for a PhD or research scholar the ESE is the best zone.
No. The atoms of the bed bring laziness, so always study at a table.
Yes, pyramids can be kept on every table in a library.
Yes, there is no problem in keeping a globe.
Green or ivory is the best choice for a child's study table; a teak colour also works.
See in which direction the 5th lord sits. If it sits in the West, that is excellent; if in the East, choose the East. The East and North are best for study anyway, and if the lord sits in the South, studying in the South also works.
The uniform cannot be changed. Chant the beej mantra of Saturn and do Saturn remedies such as donating its items; for example, donate five shirts to poor children, and the effect gets balanced.
