Gomti chakra, a small natural wheel (chakra) first found in the Gomti river, is presented as a brahmastra of remedial vastu. Once purified and energised it can remove vastu doshas and planetary troubles, recover stuck money, create marriage yogas and speed up business like a fast-spinning wheel.
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.
When two flats are merged and the toilet falls at the new centre, do kilan separately for each flat: four copper nails at the corners of one flat and four at the corners of the other, so that the energy current moves along each set of nails and the two flats work as separate units.
Blocked marma and ati marma points are opened with injection-like remedies: special herbs are placed under marma points, while metal kurma (tortoise) figures, metals and precious minerals are installed on the ati marma. They reopen the blocked energy channels of the land.
The centre of a regular plot is where its two diagonals cross. For an irregular plot, use the geometric centre in AutoCAD, CorelDraw or an image editing tool, or the manual method of hanging a paper cut-out of the plan from a pin.
The plot is divided into Brahma, Dev, Manushya and Pishach bhoomi by measuring the line from the centre to every corner and marking 0.333, 0.555 and 0.777 of its length. Joining the matching points gives four bands that follow the real shape of the plot.
Without software, the centre (nabhi) of an irregular plot or flat is found as the centre of gravity of a cut-out of its shape: hang it from two different points, mark the vertical line each time, and the lines cross at the centre.
On a real plot of any shape, the ati marma are marked by finding where the twelve devtas of the six ati marma lines meet the plot boundary and joining those points. With the zoning chakra this takes one to two minutes and needs no computer.
After bhoomi vibhajan the 45 Vastu devtas are marked by angle: the 32 outer devtas at 11.25 degrees each in the Pishach bhoomi, four main inner devtas at 54 degrees and eight others at 18 degrees in the combined Manushya and Dev band, and Brahma in the centre.
In the 81 pad (9 x 9) Vastu mandala the ati marma are found by drawing six lines between pairs of outer devtas: the two corner diagonals and two lines parallel to each of them. Their nine crossing points are the ati marma.
A quick manual method to divide any plan into the concentric bhoomis of the 81-pada grid by multiplying the centre-to-corner distance by 0.33, 0.55 and 0.77.
After the bhoomi rings are drawn, the outer ring is cut into 32 pads of 11.25 degrees each, starting with Som devta centred on North, and the middle ring into 12 inner pads with an 18-54-18 degree split for each direction.
Gomti chakra are laid as a circle in the brahm nabhi, as a square in a chabutra and as a full line in the dehleez, and are used in every kind of door power. Each one must be laid with its smooth white face up.
Royal interiors such as the Mysore Palace marked a brahma nabhi (navel) at the centre of the floor and hung chandeliers of sphatik (crystal) to raise the energy of the Brahmasthan, with colours chosen from the ruler's element and planets.
A mirror false ceiling at the centre point of the Brahmasthan makes the space open to the sky and balances the space element when a real open-to-sky courtyard cannot be built.
The symbol of the space element is a circle, so a circular mandna is made at the Brahmasthan; it virtually opens the Brahmasthan and gives it power, the way a virtual door is opened.
A mirror on the ceiling of the Brahmasthan is very good because it makes the ceiling open to the sky; this is why old chandeliers (jhoomar) had mirror bases.
The correct way to sample a land is to take five soil samples, one from each of the four corners (vidishas) and one from the Brahmasthan, so that the five elements are represented.
Pure water poured with a mantra into a small pit dug in the North-East, East or Brahmasthan swirls clockwise on good land and anticlockwise on negative land; the speed of the swirl and the place and behaviour of the air bubbles show the whole plot's energy and its buried defects.
A water-filled coconut is thrown at least 10 feet straight up from the centre of the land; where it lands, drawn by the land's positive or negative force, shows whether the land is good for living, for labour or for industry.
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.
A pit in the Brahmasthan (centre) of a plot always harms it. In the factory studied, a pit had been dug roughly at the Brahmasthan of the whole land.
When the whole slope of a plot or roof drains into the centre, or a well, water tank or septic tank is built in the Brahmasthan, the result is sarvanash (total ruin). Projects with a central well always carry some trouble they cannot rise above.
The brahm bhoomi at the centre suits a courtyard (aangan), tulsi worship, an area open to the sky, a living area and a place for yoga or meditation.
Stairs, the main door, a locker, a pit, boring or dug well, a basement confined to the centre, a store room, a garage or a kitchen must not be built in the Brahmasthan. Each causes serious harm, from illness in the family to quarrels and ruin.
Palaces and old houses had an open-to-sky courtyard at the centre, which kept the mind clear; when the courtyard disappeared, that clarity went too. If the centre cannot be open to the sky on every floor, a double height at the Brahmasthan still balances the space element.
Pad vinyas divides a plot into equal squares (padas) occupied by the vastu devtas, and the number of padas depends on what is being built: 49 for reconstruction, 64 for towns and certain temples, 81 for houses and cowsheds, 100 for all temples, and up to 1000 for a fort.
The space element is circular or shapeless, black, located at the Brahmasthan (centre), and light, vibrating and sound-carrying by nature, linked to hearing. Open-to-sky and vacant spaces represent it; balanced it gives clarity of mind and decisions, imbalanced it brings confusion and obstacles.
Build a basement only in the North, NNE, NE, East and ENE, or as a full basement that lets sun rays in; never in the South, South-West or the Brahmasthan.
A boring, dug well, pit or underground water tank gives very different results in each of the 16 zones: the North and North-East zones attract wealth, while the South, South-West and the centre bring death-like suffering and money loss.
Yes, it is wrong. Even if the floors slope to the North-East, a roof whose whole slope falls into the Brahmasthan creates the same defect as a slope toward the centre.
Because the degree must never be taken from the centre. A compass placed at the centre only shows roughly whether a room is in the North-East or North-West; the exact tilt comes only when the compass is parallel to a wall. In a regular house, readings taken parallel to the walls are the same everywhere.
Yes. Land energy carries 70 percent of the role, so changing and correcting it can give about 50 to 60 percent relief. Many large hotels have toilets in the Ishaan and still prosper because 6 to 10 feet of soil was dug out and thrown away, removing the land's negativity. In vastu, dasha (land energy) matters more than disha (direction).
A sunken courtyard in the centre suits only a temple. In homes the courtyards were actually built raised, with a boundary all around and a tulsi platform in the middle, so they were not counted as a defect.
Take five samples, representing the five elements: one from each of the four corners (vidishas) and one from the Brahmasthan. Take the soil from about 4 inches (4 angul) below the surface.
No, do it in open ground. Thrown to a low height, the coconut naturally falls close by and shows nothing; it must go up at least 10 feet.
A pad is one of the equal sections into which a plot is divided. For 81 pad vastu a house, for example 90 by 90 ft, is divided into 9 by 9 equal sections and each section is one pad; the larger grids, such as the 1000 pad grid, divide the plot into many more equal sections. Some areas such as the Brahmasthan cover several padas together even if the drawing does not show their inner divisions.
Keeping it open on all floors is excellent. If that is not possible, a double height open at the Brahmasthan, for example about 20 ft, still balances the space element even if it is closed above. A survey found that houses with a double height at the Brahmasthan had more happiness and peace.
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.
The underground drainage line should run from the South-West towards the North-West, that is clockwise, and leave the plot at the North-West; that is good.
Finding the centre was covered in earlier classes. Either use software such as AutoCAD, or use the hanging method: cut out the shape, hang it from one point and mark the vertical line, then hang it from another point and mark again; the crossing is the centre. Joining diagonals gives the centre only for a regular plot.
Because in a regular, proportionate plot almost all nine ati marma fall in the Brahmasthan. So an aangan (courtyard) or open space was left there, or the area was kept free of regular stable activity and heavy items. In an irregular plot there is no guarantee where the points fall.
