Kalash on Wheat in the Kitchen's North-East at Griha Pravesh

Questions and answers

All 42 questions
Why do some homes with a toilet or kitchen in the North-East, or shops facing South, still prosper?

Because their land energy is high. Land energy decides about 70 percent of the result, so on strongly energetic land even an opposite orientation does little harm, while on obstructed or cursed land no orientation helps.

Can the kesar swastik test be done on kitchen wall tiles?

It can be made on kitchen tiles, but a whitewashed surface is a must for the test. Make it in the earth (prithvi) tatva of Surya swar.

Does increasing the energy of the South-East or South-South-East raise the chance of theft, fire or accidents?

No, this idea is wrong and should be removed from the mind. An element's own zone can bear any amount of that element: kitchens burn daily in the South-East, factories run furnaces there day and night, and a plant in Goa melts quartz in its South-East without such problems; high mountains in the South-West only strengthen the earth element there.

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).

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 a tall chimney in the South-East a dosh?

No. In practice even very tall chimneys in the SE showed no dosh, because the fire element always goes upward, as swar vigyan also shows; a rising chimney suits fire.

Why can a kitchen be made in the West?

Just as a kitchen can sometimes be in the East, it can be in the West: when Varun devta rains he also throws sparks of fire and lightning, so fire is not foreign to the West.

What does lighting a lamp in sagun mean?

Sagun is a swar vigyan technique that is learnt fully only in the complete swar training; in brief, the lamp is lit while holding the breath. A lamp lit in sagun burns far longer: a 100 g ghee lamp lit on Dussehra burned for 10 to 12 days and a 10 g lamp has burned for 27 days, so a desi cow ghee lamp in the South-East of the kitchen needs only 25 to 50 g of ghee a day. A conch blown in sagun while holding a wish drives all negative energy out of the house.

Why was the kitchen traditionally called chauka?

Chauka means the place of four kinds of purity: of mind, speech, body and food (man, vachan, kaya and aahar). The kitchen was the place where the one cooking kept all four pure; today hardly any of these purities remains.

Why should one face only East while cooking?

The Sun's sweet morning rays carry an energy composition that mixes into the food and gives it taste, quality, minerals, vitamins and protein, so turning your back to the Sun while cooking is considered a great curse of the kitchen. Wherever the kitchen is, shift the burner to the South-East of the kitchen and make the cook face East; if East is not possible face North, but never face West.

A refrigerator is cold, so why can it be placed in the fire zone, and where should it go?

Cold is produced from heat and a refrigerator cannot run without fire, so it can be placed in the South-East of the kitchen. Using the kitchen's own grid, it can also go in the West, and the North-West is ideal according to astrology.

Why should the kitchen platform be L-shaped or straight (I-shaped) and not U-shaped?

The kitchen is fire, and a person standing at an L-shaped platform forms a triangle, the shape of fire. A U-shape forms the water element, a wavy, moon-like structure, and in homes with moon-like structures the health of women stays poor.
