A couple sleeping on a bed placed in the Brahmasthan may face childlessness or repeated miscarriages. Moving the bed out of the Brahmasthan to another place has led to childbirth in several cases.
A daily havan of makhana (kamal gatta) with desi cow ghee at the Parjanya pad, begun on one's own nakshatra day and continued for 45 days, develops fertility in couples who cannot conceive.
Full nadi shodhan is not done during pregnancy; only a limited practice in Chandra swar is used to heal the child, calling the shaktis one by one and sending them to the baby.
Seeds of five grains sown in a small watered patch of the land show its energy by how fast they sprout: within three days is excellent, five days moderate, and no sprout in seven days marks an inferior, infertile land.

In a flat, wheat is grown in an earthen pot of good fertile soil, the way javare are grown in Navratri; the height and colour the shoots reach in nine days show how fertile and energetic the place is.
Parjanya, the cloud and rain devta (megh, badal) at E2 next to Shikhi, brings rain, productivity and fertility and fulfils plans and wishes like a kalpavriksha. It is the doctor of crops, people and animals.

Jayant, the third devta of the East (pad E3, in the outer paishachik ring), is the success-maker who completes any work by any means (saam, daam, dand, bhed) while following dharma, and converts knowledge into wealth. Its door is called the vipul sampada (abundant wealth) door because the grace of the Moon on this pad is very strong.

Pits, wells, drains, poles, big trees, garbage, a road hitting the door or a long-vacant house in front of the main door each bring a specific harm, from disease to loss of lifespan.
Coming out of the main door and reaching the boundary wall gate by moving clockwise forms purna bahu (complete arm) dwar, which completes the purpose of every outing.

When the main door of the building and the boundary wall gate stand face to face in one line, the arrangement is utsang (sammukh) dwar, the best door coordination in any direction.

A house with two doors on N4 and E4, common in many homes, is a vardhaman house; it brings prosperity, happiness, peace and growth of sons and grandsons.
A doctor's chamber is the best use of the Parjanya pad, and a conference room, a bedroom for peace and deep sleep, or a bath (yog snan) also suit it. A toilet or a main door here causes delays and female dominance.
The shape of a door affects the household: triangular, cart-shaped (shakat), winnow-shaped (supa), bow-shaped, sun-shaped and round doors all bring problems. A door should always be rectangular with a full frame.
A main door must not face a T-junction or a temple, must not open straight onto an open courtyard and must not have another door above it. All doors should be at one level, and the main door needs a porch and decoration.
In the North, N3 brings sons and wealth, N4 (Bhallat) is the best of all 32 doors with windfall wealth, and N5 gives wealth with dharma and fame. N1, N2, N6, N7 and N8 bring suffering, enemies, family stress, faults in women and poverty.

In the South only S4 (Grihakshat) gives happiness, peace, prosperity and business profit. S2, S3, S5, S6, S7 (the debt door) and S8 bring lack of children, servitude, suffering, selfishness, debt and disease.

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.
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.
Why should a house door, kitchen or toilet not be built at Shikhi (E1), and which doors are allowed there?
Shikhi sits there and the spot holds heat and fire, so a house door at E1 can cause fire incidents and accidents. A boundary-wall gate is allowed, being in the pishach bhoomi, and so is the door of a temple or other religious building, a school or a college, because such buildings represent Jupiter and become the yogi's own home. A kitchen at Shikhi keeps health poor and brings memory loss, money problems, anger, indecision and a blocked mind, and a toilet there in the North-East stops vansh vriddhi (growth of the family line).
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.
The house door falls on Parjanya (E2) and the family has more girls; why, and what can be done?
A door at Parjanya makes the house female dominated: females are more in number, more female calves are born and the first child is often a daughter, though this also depends on the fifth house of the horoscope. The remedy is to make the Om and swastik symbol taught for Shikhi at that door.
