When the neighbouring house in the East is taller than yours, you lose the energy of the sun. Either add a storey or raise a metal flag of brass in the South-West of your roof, higher than the neighbour's building, so that your building starts receiving cosmic energy.
Rise before sunrise and do Surya namaskar; for better results fast on Sunday with one salt-free meal, or at least keep a one-hour fast without water after sunrise.
The special treatment of Mahendra is a silver moon engraved with a swastik (and the marks drawn in class), hung at the E4 pad at its time while the chandra swar flows with water or earth tatva.
People who are not getting political success draw a swastik on gomti chakra and, while drawing it, hold and write their wish. Being calcium phosphate, gomti chakra links that intention quickly with the universe.
When Mercury and Jupiter sit together and both are benefic, a painting of a lion (babbar sher) in the North, North-East or East-North-East gives the power to rule and dominance in one's field.
When the Sun is exalted (sign 1) or swagrahi (sign 5) and sits in a kendra, a rising sun picture or a brass sun in the East brings name, fame and success in politics.
When benefic Jupiter and Venus sit together, a painting of running horses in an odd number, or of a cow or bull, in the East or South-East brings fame, happiness and sound judgement.
The Ashok pillar symbol is used for government support and courage; it is placed in the North-West of an office or factory and is said to bring success.
Red horses represent the fire element and the Sun (Surya nadi), so they are placed in the South in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 and so on) for fame and recognition.
The Surya mukh symbol represents the fire element; it brings successful meetings, connection with people, political power, social contacts and proper communication.
The elephant represents Rahu, whose zones run from South to South-West (SSW, SW, WSW). In south-facing or nairitya-facing houses with the entry there, two brass elephants with raised trunks pacify the door dosh.
South to South-West at the entrance, facing North or East
The acharyas advise placing diamond in the ground of the South-East to increase its power. Where the floor is already built, as in a flat, a swastik drawn with inexpensive diamond chip powder in the South-East serves the same purpose.
Grow a lotus in water in a small kund or an earthen pot at the Mahendra pad; a lotus that grows, blooms fully and spreads fragrance shows Mahendra is active.
The ishaan is the place of Jupiter and water belongs to the Moon, so a kalash filled with water in the North-East creates Gajkesari yoga (Moon with Jupiter) in the home.
The five soil samples are examined under a lens: golden or copper-like particles show a prosperous and healthy land, while sindoor-red, mica, glass-like or black particles warn of lost reputation, fire, disease or accidents.
Soil samples from the four corners and the Brahmasthan
Chant Om Bhaskaraya Namah from before sunrise until the Sun rises, sitting at the Surya pad or aligned towards it, to balance the fire element and Surya devta.
Mahendra (Indra), the fourth devta of the East, is the king, sustainer and administrator who brings the energy of the planets, Sun, Moon and 27 nakshatras to earth and spreads it evenly through the house. It gives control over the mind and senses, right decisions, government support, contacts, name and fame.
Pad E4 of the East side, 73.125 to 84.375 degrees (East-North-East and East zones)
Surya, the fifth devta at the centre of the East, lights the three worlds, destroys darkness and negativity, gives energy to all planets and never misses its time. Balanced, it gives fearlessness, good decisions, speaking power, fame, leadership, government support and perfect time management.
Pad E5, the centre of the East, 84.375 to 95.625 degrees (East zone)
By examining the active swar and tatva at the moment a question is asked, win-loss questions can be answered for anyone, anywhere, without a kundali. The teacher answered a journalist's phone questions on four state election results this way.
No facing is good or bad for everyone. The direction of the house, the main door and each room are chosen from the owner's horoscope, so that the person lives in the zone of his strongest planet and avoids the zones of weak or afflicted planets.
The South-East, 45 degrees beyond the East, is ruled by Agni, the hidden fire energy present in every living being. Its planet is Venus (Shukra) and it gives fame and cash flow, so the South-East of a householder's home must never be cut.
The South-West is ruled by Nairitya, with Rahu-Ketu as its planets and gomed (hessonite) as its stone. Balanced, uncut and right-angled, it gives prosperity, stability and skill, and it must be the highest part of the property in both ground level and building height, which is why a dhwaj (flag) is raised there.
