Which businesses and professions does each East devta support?
Shikhi devta (E1) is directly linked to Jupiter-related businesses such as accounts, banking and education, and supports big industries and factories. Jayant (E3) gives the most success in light-weight goods, plastic items and the paper and plastic industries, and the steel industry was named next. Mahendra (E4) suits people who need a job or service, especially government jobs, contracts and tenders, and Surya (E5) rules politics, administration and government work. A chart showing the business and bhog samagri under every devta was promised.

Which devta governs work such as consultancy, priesthood or judging?
Two devtas govern consultancy work (their names are unclear in the recording). In this class Mahendra (E4) is called the devta of successful consultants, and Satya (E6) the good advisor and decision-maker, with a court or justice room best made at E6.
How can one test whether Parjanya devta is imbalanced, for example when factory machines keep breaking down?
Burn a little peeli sarson at Parjanya's place: if it bursts out in sharp sparks that touch the body, Parjanya is upset or imbalanced, which is why the machines there break down and do not give production. If the trees of the house do not reach their proper height or bear good fruit, Parjanya is displeased. Parjanya is active when a little original chandan applied there spreads its fragrance through the whole house and the residents' wishes come true.
In which direction exactly should the picture for Shikhi or Parjanya be put?
A devta does not own one wall; it is an 11.25-degree sector. Shikhi and Parjanya face East, so put the picture within that sector, facing East; when a student asked, West-facing was also accepted.
Shikhi gives clear vision in a house; if family members are lazy, do no work and lack clear vision, is that the same dosh?
Yes, that is the same Shikhi dosh: when Shikhi is defective, the minds of the residents stay blocked.
Shikhi lies in the pishach bhoomi, so where should one sit for its jaap?
One cannot sit in the pishach bhoomi itself. Sit facing East in padmasan or sukhasan, project your vision to the devta's place as if through a telescope and visualise it, and chant the Shikhi mantra on a silver or gold mala, as many rounds as possible, in the period up to 3:00 am; with aahuti the mantra ends in swaha. It helps when the mind is blocked, business ideas do not come or children cannot memorise. Exact words: refer to the class recording.
The North-East is the most sacred direction, so why should the main door not be opened at E1, the pada of Shikhi devta?
Because it is the most sacred and pure place, entering there with shoes and slippers is a serious problem. Shikhi devta, who sits at E1, then produces his fire, and his anger brings agni bhay (fear of fire), a greater chance of fire breaking out in the house. So E1 should not be used for the main door, even though people commonly praise it.
