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 picture of bright white gandharva nagar clouds, cloud formations that look like palaces, hung at the Parjanya pad fulfils plans and wishes and treats a dosh at E2 without other changes.
For a patient who is not improving and on whom medicines are not working, a gomti chakra tied with silver wire at the head side of the bed and earthed into the ground drains away the negative energy.
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.
For a couple heading for divorce or living apart, at least five gomti chakra bearing both names and about 125 g of yellow mustard are tied in a potli and kept under the mattress of the partner who wants the relationship, with a daily command.
When a couple start quarrelling as soon as they get into bed, seven energised gomti chakra spread under the mattress bring harmony, since seven aligns the seven chakras.
Yellow mustard spread under the mattress helps whoever is in trouble. A cushion (gaddi) filled with 5 or 10 kg of mustard is made for the owner to sit on, and a sick child or a child who cries all night is laid on bedding filled with yellow mustard.
For a person who gets angry often, the room is done up only with anger-controlling, mind-calming portraits, photos, idols, artifacts, symbols and colour combinations.
When troubles persist and the bed stands in a wrong zone such as SSW or WNW, plaster the floor under the bed with desi cow dung and sleep there; the teacher guarantees good results from ten years of trials.
Making the bedroom, bed, bedsheet and mattress all of seven aay keeps husband and wife together like a magnet, even when the horoscope shows a divorce yoga.
Use a bed without a storage box, keep the floor under it swept and keep peeli sarson under the mattress; the negativity picked up during the day drains away and bad dreams stop.
Extract the juice of mango leaves and plaster it beneath the place where the unmarried girl or boy sleeps. Marriage and other auspicious events that were stuck then get completed.
When a bed is made of unsuitable wood or one has to sleep in a wrong zone, a small piece of sandalwood touching the wood of the bed, or asan wood under its four legs, corrects it.
In a dressing room or bathroom mirrors should go on the North or East walls. If a wash basin is already in the South and its mirror must be there, fix a mirror of the same size on the North wall to balance it.
The bedroom colour should combine the zone colour with the colour that awakens your fortune; without a horoscope, find that colour by browsing a full colour catalogue and noting the colours you instinctively like.
The birth chart shows which direction is strong for a person: the direction holding exalted planets, or else the most benefic planets, is the one to face, sleep and work in. Planet colours from the chart guide health, business and decoration choices.
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.
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.
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.
A wall that leans even slightly unbalances the gravitational force in the room; the person who sleeps there stays ill and troubled, has bad dreams and does not sleep well.
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.
A bed that is not level leaves the sleeper with bad dreams (duswapna) and frequent illness, because the gravitational force does not act correctly on it.
The human body has its own poles, with the head as its north pole and the feet as its south pole. With the head to the South, the poles of body and earth lie opposite and attract; with like poles together they repel, and sleep does not come.
In small homes of 700 to 800 sq ft, plots of 70 to 80 gaj and flats under 1000 sq ft, direction and element rules are not applied; instead the sizes of rooms, beds, tables and kitchen platforms are set by aay (mathematical Vastu) to generate the needed element.
Energy rising from the land (geopathic) meets energy from the planets and stars (cosmic) and forms a third energy that can turn intense or toxic when mixed with household activity, so it must be able to leave the house. Every room therefore needs ventilation.
Why is a dying person laid with the feet toward the South?
So that life leaves the body quickly without getting stuck, because of the magnetic poles of the earth and the body. For the same reason a living person should never sleep with the feet toward the South; keep the head to the South instead.
My bedroom is in the South and its floor also slopes to the South. What should I do?
That is wrong; correct the slope first, because slope matters most. More important than treatments such as changing the sleeping zone is maintaining the slope of the room, which alone removes about 60 percent of the dosh.
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.
Do these effects, such as insomnia, apply to room doors, and does only the owner suffer?
They apply to the main door of the house, not to room doors. The people in whose name the house is and who invested in it feel the effects most, but other members can be affected too.
Can a bedroom be made at Shikhi (E1), and why should it be white rather than red?
Yes, a bedroom at Shikhi can suit elderly people, and it should be painted white rather than the zone's red colour, as advised for people of kapha nature and for those of pitta nature whose heat rises quickly. Shikhi is highly sensitive and already hot, so red would add heat and open the third eye.
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.
If a house has four members, whose kundli should be used for its vastu?
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.
If one family member has a planet exalted and another has it debilitated, should that planet's items be kept in the interior?
Decide room by room. In your own bedroom use the materials of your exalted planet and not of your debilitated one; your daughter's bedroom is designed from her kundli. The house facing and common areas such as the drawing room and kitchen are decided from the grih swami's kundli. Many people make the master bedroom in the South-West by default, which is wrong when Rahu is debilitated: such people suffered there and got very good results after moving to another direction.
Is it true that one should not sleep near electric switches?
Yes. The more electromagnetic current there is near you, the more it affects the nadis, the body and blood circulation, so keep the bed well away from switch boards. The minimum distance is transcribed as 35 feet, which may be 3 to 5 feet; check the class recording.
A client has an exalted Saturn and a debilitated Venus. Can the bedroom be made in the West?
Yes, it will be very good. With an exalted Saturn, make the bedroom in the West without hesitation; WSW or even SW can also be used, but when Saturn is exalted the West gives the best results.
