When a boring in the South or another wrong zone is abandoned for a new one, close the old pit permanently with five haldi, five supari, panch ratna and a silver swastik, then fill it with sand.
An E3-E4 main door is the best for chances of going abroad; those not getting a visa should sleep with their feet towards the West and keep the West and South heavy and well built.
A person who cannot sleep anywhere should be given a bed in the South zone and made to sleep with the feet toward North. Sleep starts coming properly.
Turning the toilet seat so the user faces North or South, never East or West, corrects about half the dosh of a toilet even when it stands in a wrong zone.
Hang a bandhanwar of good mango leaves, ideally with Om and swastik tied on and a swastik drawn in kesar, on a main door built on a wrong pada. It reduces the ill effect of the door by about 50 percent.
For a main door on a wrong South pada, hang a toran of stones or gems, a toran of copper and wood, or a red triangular swastik bandhanwar put up on a Saturday or Tuesday.
Mars with Rahu forms Angarak yoga, the accident yoga, and with the Moon added it also troubles the mind; a painting of an elephant with raised trunk bathing in water in the South-West or South protects against it.
A defect in the South means a damaged Mars; strengthening Mars with stone cladding, stone flooring, stone statues and red coral or hematite nullifies the South defect.
A person with a weak Mars in the chart almost always has a South dosh at home. Stone cladding with projecting stones on the South wall, stone showpieces in the South and better relations with brothers and friends strengthen Mars and the South.
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.
To motivate a child to study, a swastik is drawn with affirmations on its arms: East, I am all-knowing; South, I am all-powerful; West, I am all-capable; North, I am all-wealthy; and Soham (I am That) at the centre.
When the North and East are raised and the South and West cannot be made higher, a picture of a mountain peak such as Everest in the low-lying South or West zone changes the mind through the image and brings opportunities.
Red horses represent the fire element and the Sun (Surya nadi), so they are placed in the South in an odd number (1, 3, 5, 7 and so on) for fame and recognition.
If the door is in the South, a special South remedy swastik is drawn on both sides of the door and above it.
The elephant represents Rahu, whose zones run from South to South-West (SSW, SW, WSW). In south-facing or nairitya-facing houses with the entry there, two brass elephants with raised trunks pacify the door dosh.
When a plot's North-South axis is short, the magnetic field is increased by planning every room long in the North-South direction or, failing that, by placing heavy magnets and hematite mineral on the North-South axis.
A swan statue or painting in the NNW of the bedroom and rose or pink rose wallpaper on the South wall strengthen Venus and romance between the couple.
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 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.
A coconut thrown up on a land falls towards the direction of its strongest gravitational force; falling in an auspicious direction shows good energy, falling towards the South-South-West, West or South shows bad energy.
The sun's movement from East to West creates a magnetic effect with North and South poles. A plot, building, room or hall whose North-South axis is longer (chandra-bhedi) holds the strongest magnetic field, giving attraction and concentration; one whose East-West axis is longer is called surya-bhedi.
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.
Raj Vallabh states that a temple with a large river flowing to its South becomes not merely a tirth but a mahatirth, because for a temple the water element stands for peace. Rules made for homes must not be applied mechanically to temples.
The South, South-West and West build skill and capability. When the land there is low and the construction in these zones is also the lowest, skills and Saturn (Shani) turn against the owner, and the business does not get the wealth and opportunities it should.
A permanently flowing river, channel or nala in the South, West or South-West of a property is very harmful, and even a seasonal one is wrong. A swimming pool or a very large underground tank in the South-West of a building is equally bad.
The South belongs to Yama, the god of justice and messenger of death, who rides a buffalo and holds a danda (rod). Its planet is Mars (Mangal) and its stone is moonga (coral); it is the zone of complete relaxation and sleep and rules the world of departed ancestors.
A tall building close to the North or East of a plot blocks its energy: in the North it causes money problems and in the East loss of name and fame. A tall building on the back side, in the South, South-West or West, gives strong progress.
A plot whose North-South axis is longer than its East-West axis is good only when in proportion: one and a half times the width is best and double is the maximum.
In the 81 pad grid the exact cardinal points fall on the fifth pad of each side: North on Soma (N5), East on Surya (E5), South on Yama (S5) and West on Varun (W5). In the 64 pad temple grid they fall between the fourth and fifth padas, so using it for a house shifts every door position.
The outer pishach bhoomi of a plot is always left open on all sides, and on a North-facing plot the building is placed in the South and West part, leaving open space for energy to enter.
Yes, they are the directions. The length of a place in the North-South direction should be longer than its East-West length; such a place is considered the best because it holds the strongest magnetic field.
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.
Most people answer that it would fail, but Raj Vallabh says such a temple becomes not just a tirth but a mahatirth, because for a temple water is the element of peace. Nemawar and Siddhavarkoot near Omkareshwar, with rivers to their South, are among the most powerful places.
Such slopes explain the trouble. How to correct the slope fully, or partly when a full correction is not possible, is taught in the treatment classes. Slope plays a very big role: maintaining the slope alone removes about 50 percent of zone defects.
No. When a road runs between the property and the source of a vedh, such as a river, the defect does not apply.
It harms the temple. It is not a direct problem for the person who had the temple built, but the shilpi (temple architect) who builds vastu defects into a temple also has to bear their ill effects.
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.
There are two types of slope, which will be covered again. If water flows underground toward the South, it is not a big defect: electricity and water move underground everywhere without regard to direction, so an underground flow against the ideal direction does not create a dosh. People living where underground water flows to the South and West are also found to be happy.
Remedies for such anti-element placements are taught later, in the remedy classes. First learn each element, its zone, its friends and its enemies; the corrections for a water source in the wrong zone come when the course reaches remedial vastu.
No. If it did, the owners of five and seven star hotels, which commonly have toilets in the North-East, would suffer first, and every South-facing owner would be ruined. Vastu must be read together with the planets of the person, which are exalted and which debilitated, instead of blindly applying one rule to everyone.
Where to construct is taught later; for example, on a North-facing plot the building is placed in the South and West part. The pishach bhoomi is always left open on all sides. People abroad leave space all around and keep large backyards and live prosperously, while many people here leave no space at all for energy to come in.
Yes, it definitely does. Doors and their effects are taught in detail in the door classes.
