Questions and Answers
36 questions on Remedial Vastu (No Demolition)
Some land is negative because ghosts (bhoot-pret) live there. Is there a Vastu remedy for it, or only mantras?
Such land can be corrected through Vastu too: special dhoop and samagri for removing bhoot-pret badha are taught later in the course.
Why do the same treatment items give results for some practitioners and not for others?
Often because the items, such as pyramids or silver and gold nandavart, were not placed at water level. Unless an item is set at zero degree the gravitational force does not act on it, and it gives no result however valuable it is.
A rectangular plot is built up on three sides and open only on the West, so its energy is low. How can it be extended?
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.
If a square foundation is laid inside a triangular plot and the house is built on it, can it give good results?
Yes, it can. The methods for converting any irregular shape into a regular one are taught in the treatment classes.
My neighbour's house in the East has two storeys and mine has one. What is the effect?
You are losing, because the East (the sun) gives all the energy. Either build a second storey or put up a flag: a metal flag of brass in the South-West of your roof, higher than their building, so that your building starts receiving cosmic energy.
If the swar reading is good but two or three inauspicious omens occur, can they be balanced?
The pit water test tells whether it will balance. If all the air bubbles in the pit merge and vanish, everything will become fine after treatment.
If a home has defects in the North-East, Brahmasthan and South-East that cannot be corrected and the family cannot move out, can correcting the land energy help?
Yes. Land energy carries 70 percent of the role, so changing and correcting it can give about 50 to 60 percent relief. Many large hotels have toilets in the Ishaan and still prosper because 6 to 10 feet of soil was dug out and thrown away, removing the land's negativity. In vastu, dasha (land energy) matters more than disha (direction).
A client's family sleeps all the time, late at night, until noon and again in the day; what is the reason and the remedy?
It is a lazy, dormant land where the energy is disturbed and the fire element has fallen to zero, since sleep comes with coolness. Perform a havan with samagri, light a cow ghee akhand jyot in the South-East for eight days, and burn dhoop daily with Bhimseni kapoor on the lamp's upper plate; within eight days everyone starts waking up.
Fire is the enemy of water. What can be done if the water source of a house lies in the South?
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.
From which corner should the kilan nails be fixed first?
From the South-East. Whenever nailing work is done anywhere, it is started from the South-East, not from the South and West or from the North and East.
Which four things make a person immune to vastu dosh even when the house has many defects?
A daily bath in water in which a potli of the herbs of the nine planets has been dipped; tirth darshan during every eclipse and during vyatipat yoga; using swar in every daily activity from waking to sleeping; and daily abhishek of the consecrated deity, applying the dust of the feet of the deity on the forehead and sprinkling the abhishek water in the house above navel height.
If someone needs to open an entry where a door is not possible, is a mirror the only option?
No, there are many options. Virtual doors and the other ways of opening an entry are taught in the door remedy classes.
The main door has a single shutter and a double shutter is not possible. What should be done?
Correct it with a painting, door power, door decoration (door sajja) or a door bandhan hung outside. Where the door has one shutter, keep a bandhanwar always hung on it and the dosh is not counted.
In a flat, the wall that divides the hall falls on an ati marma; what can be done?
A wall on an ati marma is wrong, but when it belongs to another room it usually cannot be removed. Remedies such as the nine herbs mentioned in class give some results, and the full remedies are taught in the remedy classes.
Can a remedy be injected into an existing wall that stands on an ati marma?
Yes. Injection-type remedies, in which metal, gems and herbs are installed at the point, are used, and the full method is taught in the remedy classes. With a wall or column already standing there, expect only about 50% result, never the full result.
Do remedies work if a toilet sits on the devta's pad?
With a toilet on the pad, results do not come however much effort is made; its full treatment is part of the complete vastu taught in this course.
Can remedies done after construction fully activate the 45 devtas?
No. A lot of misleading talk goes around about the 45 devtas. The maximum remedy has to be done when the land is prepared and built on; the other remedies taught for later cannot activate a devta 100% and bring it only to about 30 to 35%.
Some courses teach blocking a toilet from three sides. Is that correct?
No, it is wrong, 1000 percent. The top is left open and a wall-hung seat does not even rest on the floor, yet only the floor is blocked on three sides; at least 500 such cases were seen in Delhi. Metal does not block energy whether it is put on three sides or four, so no result comes. The toilet treatment itself is being done wrongly.
I cut grooves on three sides of a toilet, inserted steel strips and kept artificial green plants inside, but got no result. Why?
Metal is a good conductor, so it carries and spreads energy instead of blocking it, and blocking works only when it covers all sides. Metal should not be put into the ground for this. Use a bad conductor, just as the plastic cover on an electric wire stops the current from reaching you. Plastic pyramids and random items sold in the name of vastu do not help.
Most market products for toilets are metal strips. How should a toilet be blocked then?
Work it out from the principle, as with making mantras: first decide whether the energy must be blocked or spread. To block it, use a bad conductor that covers it from all sides; it cannot be done with a metal strip. The method was to be demonstrated practically in a later class.
In a flat the structure cannot be changed. What can be done?
That is exactly what interior vastu is for: balance the element with its shapes, symbols, artifacts, idols, showpieces and materials to nullify the defect. For example, silver represents the Moon, so a silver artifact or a moon figure can be placed there. Like a doctor's supplement for a vitamin deficiency, the missing element is supplied; Ayurveda, allopathy, jyotish and vastu all run on the elements.
What is the remedy for a bedroom in the South-East?
The dosh nivaran for this has not been covered yet and will be taught later. A SE bedroom gives tension unless Venus is exalted.
If the North, the opportunity and attraction zone, is cut, how can it be balanced?
Extend it with the symbols and materials of the North element, with plants and many other items.
The East of my house is completely closed by the neighbouring house. What is the solution?
This is taught in the coming classes: which symbols and pictures to use when a direction is blocked or has a dosh, and how to nullify it. This class covered only what should be where.
What should be done if the toilet and kitchen share a common wall?
Inject mercury into the ground along the base of the common wall; once mercury is in place no bacteria can travel across into the kitchen. Ideally a toilet should not be on any of the six sides of a kitchen: in front, behind, on either side, above or below.
