Also known asNWvayavya kon
A continuous lamp of desi cow ghee in the agneya (SE) of the kitchen, lit in sagun, drives away negative energy and increases wealth; it is called the biggest brahmastra, worth more than all other interior work.
Where the air element is disturbed, for example in a rented flat that causes gastric trouble, use green colour in the North-West, put up a flag (dhwaj) there, preferably a five-element flag, and open the North-West with a window.
A swastik made of gomti chakra on a 5 x 5 inch brass plate is fixed on both sides of a door in the South-South-West, West-South-West or East. It corrects the door defect without demolition and also works when those zones have another defect or are low-lying.
A cut or extended corner is corrected without construction by hanging a cloth potli filled with gomti chakra in that corner: white in the North-East, red in the South-East, yellow in the South-West and white in the North-West.
For stock that is not selling or land that will not sell, cleaned yellow mustard is purified by circling a camphor flame over it (prasuk karan), energised with 11 malas of a mantra and, on a Monday or Wednesday, put into pits at the four corners.
Shoes bring outside energy, so the shoe rack stays near the entrance: on the NW side of a north-facing entrance and on the ESE side of an east-facing entrance. Where neither is possible, make the rack of wood and place muscovite (abhrak) under it.
Whatever zone the kitchen is in, move the burner to the South-East of that kitchen and set it so the cook faces East, or North if East is impossible. This is the best kitchen treatment and removes many doshas.
A glass bowl layered with sea sand, alum, salt and sea sand again, kept in the toilet where the air flows out, absorbs the negativity of the toilet.
When the Moon is exalted (sign 2) or swagrahi (sign 4), a painting of a calm river or lake in the North-West, North-North-West or North brings a good flow of liquid money.
A full Moon painting in the North-West strengthens the zone, and an actual photograph of the Sharad Purnima Moon works far more powerfully than an artificial image.
A mandna designed for the air element is drawn when the air element in the North-West is imbalanced.
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.
A picture of a cow suckling its calf is an energy creator: it shows energy being given directly and received. It is placed in the North-West (air element).
A picture of a Kapila or Swarna Kapila cow brings welfare and good business relations, as Kamdhenu gives nourishment; the panchgavya of a Swarna Kapila cow spread on land makes even dead land energetic.
A peacock mandna representing the air element (vayavya) in green, white and orange is used where there is a defect from the West to the North-West.
A moon painting represents the Moon, whose location is the North-West, and gives peace and happiness; use an original photograph of the Sharad Purnima moon.
White horses represent the Moon and the water element; they are placed in the North-West, always in an even number such as two, because the Chandra swar takes even counts. They sort out financial problems.
The full purification done where a bone has been dug out, the land's equivalent of the rites after a death: vastu registry with five coconuts, removal of the affected soil, agni sanskar with mango wood, water, gomutra and cow-dung purification, lime and sulphur, a 24-hour lamp and mercury.
The trees on a plot show the nature of its energy by the direction in which they lean. Land where the trees lean toward the South-West, or all toward the South, is rejected, and land where they lean toward the North-West eventually brings bad debts.
When someone phones from a land and asks about its energy, a trained swar expert reads the answer from his own element; when asked next about vastu defects, the element that becomes active points to the defective direction, such as air for the North-West and fire for the South-East.
A plot with its North-East cut is the worst of all, and a cut South-East is also very bad. A cut North-West brings mental anguish, disputes, loss of mental balance and constant quarrels.
The North-West is ruled by Vayu (air), without which no life lasts more than two minutes. Its planet is the Moon and its stone is moti (pearl); it is the world's greatest messenger and gives travel and servants (helpers).
The air element is flag-shaped, green, located in the North-West and ruled by Saturn; in a house it is the main door, windows, balcony, garden, plants and floor-to-slab height. Balanced, it gives speed, courage, patience and risk-taking capacity; imbalanced, it delays every work.
The colours shown for each zone on the shakti chakra are the colours of its devtas, not of the element, and are not meant for painting; the air element of the North-West has both green and blue as its colours.
The North-West receives an energy that comes and goes; it speeds up movement, giving and taking, arriving and leaving, and is used whenever something has to be sent away or taken out, or someone has to be called.
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.
An overhead tank can be built anywhere from the West to the North-West; NNW and the South-West are wrong, and a tank over the staircase is best avoided.
Main doors on W8 and N1 are rog dwar (disease doors): one family member after another falls ill, and the head of the house suffers long illness.
Make the septic tank in WNW as the first option and ESE as the second, never in the East or under the stairs, and run the underground drainage line clockwise from the South-West to the North-West.
The best place for a swimming pool is NNE and the North-East through ENE up to the East, leaving out the exact North-East diagonal (Shikhi devta); a sunken pool in the North-West is not good.
Use green colour and a flag-like pattern: put up a flag (dhwaj) in the North-West and, if possible, open the North-West with a window; this brings at least some balance. Swar vigyan can do still more without expense or demolition.
A five-element (panch tatva) flag.
Balance the air element of the house.
The colour on the chakra is the colour of the devta of that zone, not of the element; the North devtas are shown in red, for example, which is not a colour to paint there. The air element has both green and blue as its colours.
No, a swimming pool in the North-West is not good; only one built above floor level is acceptable there.
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.
Yes, but only if it includes the WNW portion, for example 70% in WNW and 25 to 30% in NW. It then gives the results of WNW.
Yes. Above floor level it works in the North and in the North-West, and in the North-West it can also be built high up like an overhead tank. A tank at ground floor that is raised, with no pit, is acceptable.
Not in NNW. An overhead tank can be built from the West up to the North-West; making it in the South-West, as many people do, is wrong. Build it in the North-West.
Only if the stairs are in the North-West; otherwise not. Basically an overhead tank should not be built over the stairs, because hydro currents move as you walk below it and the mind becomes unsettled.
For a north-facing entrance, make the shoe rack toward the North-West; for an east-facing entrance, toward the East-South-East. If neither is possible, put muscovite (abhrak) under the rack wherever it stands and make it of wood, not metal, because bacteria run on metal, as corona showed.
Yes, not just bad but very bad; the North-West entrance will have to be closed.
