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.
Negative entities attach themselves to the land energy and settle mostly where the South-West and West are low-lying. They show as the sushumna nadi starting to flow, a dowsing rod that stays still, a strong body reaction in the visitor and constant unexplained trouble for the people working there.
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.
Do not extend it. Instead, place energy-giving items and capture the energy from all four sides to raise the energy level; this is covered in the energy chapter.
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.
It can be balanced with methods taught later. A good immediate remedy is to place the deity in the exact West of the home so that it faces East; when the deity looks to the East, the direction corrects itself.
No, the westward roof slope is wrong. It disturbs the energy current, so some trouble will persist there, and the roof slope has to be corrected.
After sunset. Its power is felt from sandhya kaal onward and increases as the night advances, which is why people do sadhana at night and worship Lakshmi at night for wealth.
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.
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.
First check whether the door is in plumb and level with a plumb line and water level, and whether a wall or another door stands in front of it. In this case the entrance was fine; the real cause was a full basement in the South and West portion, together with a problem in the North-East.
Yes. A correctly placed door with an anti-clockwise (heen bahu) exit gives fewer good results than it should. A door on a negative pad such as E5 or E6, whose route runs clockwise to a gate on W4 or W5, gives much less negative effect than the pad alone would.
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.
At a large scale it works: a city may have a river, lake or pond in its West, and a big industrial unit may have a large pond in the West, the place of Varun devta.
By definition it is at 0 degrees with doors in all four directions, but it can be made otherwise too: build the doors on whichever pads fall on Pushpdant, Grihakshat, Bhallat and E4.
