What is a gandharva nagar, and what do cloud formations indicate?
Gandharva nagar are clouds that take the shape of towns and palaces in the sky; they belong to Parjanya, the cloud devta, and are also a subject of ashtang nimitta. Dark gandharva nagar warn that a calamity or a terrible disease is coming; such formations were seen about four months before Corona. Bright, clean white clouds point to good rain, growth of wealth and grain, rising dharma and a happy, prosperous people. Market rises and falls, crops and diseases are read from about 50 types of gandharva nagar.

What does it mean if a kite or a crow strikes someone on the head with its beak or claws, sometimes two family members on the same day?
It is a negative sign. A bird striking the head gives a health-related indication and warns that an illness may be coming. This is part of the wider subject of ashtang nimitta.
What is the logic behind a cat crossing the path from the left or the right?
This belongs to ashtang nimitta. A cat coming from the right side gives an auspicious sign and one coming from the left an inauspicious sign; if the cat crosses and then stands in the middle staring at you, the land is very bad and you should not go there at all, as even the visit brings negativity. Cats and dogs are the biggest dowsers: they react first even before an earthquake, and a cat senses that you are on the way to a wrong task and tries to stop you.
Why is left eye twitching auspicious for women when right eye twitching is auspicious for men?
The left part of a woman is always considered auspicious, which is why she is called vamangi, and moles or marks on her left side are also auspicious. In swar vigyan the Chandra (left) nadi represents the female and the Surya (right) nadi the male, so an active left side or a good sign on the left of the body is favourable for a woman and the right side for a man. If a man's left eye or a woman's right eye twitches on reaching a land, the land is very bad, because the sign is working against that person.
About 11 or 12 of the 45 devtas are asuras. Whose energy should be increased and whose kept low to stay balanced?
This was to be explained in detail later, as there is a big confusion about it. Asura devtas are also needed: the day there are no asuras in your house, your work will not run, so the aim is balance, not removing them.
After placing sweets and later chanting the mantra 27 times at a devta place, I felt strong heat in my body. Why?
It shows a defect or imbalance at that pad. When an offering reaches a defective place the defect tries to come out, as when granite tiles at one devta pad cracked during a group havan, and the body reacts. The uneasiness is a signal: the pad must be purified and activated with the method being taught (havan samagri, bhog samagri, mantra or the samagri to hang), so wait for the full method before trying again.
Are the 32 outer devtas drawn in the Manushya bhoomi or in the Pishach bhoomi?
In the Pishach bhoomi, the outermost band. The 32 outer devta lines are drawn only within the Pishach bhoomi, while the 12 inner devtas sit in the combined Manushya and Dev band and Brahma in the centre.
