Which mantra is used while pouring water in the pit test and in the vastu devta havan, and where can it be found?
The water mantra chanted while pouring water into the pit is not found in Jinvani; it was to be shared with the class group (exact words: refer to the class recording), and the Gayatri Mantra can be used instead. The Bhoomi Jagran Mantra used for aahuti on the land is found in the book Pratishtha Parag, a text on pratishtha (consecration).

After one bone has been dug out of a plot, how can we tell whether more shalya remains there, and how much more should be dug?
More bones remained in the case discussed. Bones are traced where the dowsing rod or pendulum turns anti-clockwise, or where the swar shifts into sushumna. Remove the soil over at least a 10 x 10 ft area around the spot, 5 ft from the centre in each direction, down to the depth where the bone lay plus another 1 to 1.5 ft, and throw it away. Then purify the land.
Are there 45 vastu devtas or 49?
There are 45 devtas, but 4 more devtas stand on all four sides to protect them, so basically there are 49. Bhog samagri is offered to these 4 guardians as well, after the 45.
Can a photo of Sammed Shikharji be put in the bedroom?
Venus and Jupiter are never friends. Sleep belongs to Saturn and the comforts of the bedroom to Venus, so a Jupiter picture like this suits the bedroom only if you observe celibacy (brahmacharya) and restraint.
Can energised yellow mustard be bought ready-made, or should we prepare it ourselves?
Yellow mustard is available everywhere in India, and it is better to clean and energise it yourself, because energised items lose their power in transport, for example if they lie on the ground or someone's foot touches them. If you cannot read the mantra, chant Om 108 or 27 times; there is no greater mantra.
Can the gomti chakra potli for a cut North-East be made on Basant Panchami, and which mantra energises gomti chakra?
Yes, Basant Panchami is very good for it. Gomti chakra is energised with the same raksha mantra used for yellow mustard, since both are used for protection.
Can we create the mantras of the vastu devtas ourselves?
Yes. Use the name as Om Shri [devta name] Namah, or the beej syllable of the devta element between Om and Namah, since every devta is made of the five elements. These short mantras are easy for clients and no less effective than the long ones in Samarangan Sutradhar and Vishwakarma Prakash; offering bhog samagri uses a separate mantra.
