Questions and Answers

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.

On a Guru Pushya or Ravi Pushya yoga, have a goldsmith mix them into the copper and make the rod. If that cannot be done, take ready-made rods and have silver and gold fixed at their solid point.

Yes. A silver moon (chandi ka chandrama) in the North-East creates the water element (jal tatva) and gives results.

Put five haldi, five supari, panch ratna and a silver swastik into it, then fill it completely with sand.

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.

A door at Parjanya makes the house female dominated: females are more in number, more female calves are born and the first child is often a daughter, though this also depends on the fifth house of the horoscope. The remedy is to make the Om and swastik symbol taught for Shikhi at that door.

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.

In Vedic vastu each direction represents a planet: East is the Sun (gold and copper), South-East is Venus (white metal), South is Mars (copper), South-West is Rahu-Ketu (panchdhatu), West is Saturn (iron), North-West is the Moon (silver), North is Mercury (kansa and brass) and North-East is Jupiter (gold and brass). The planets cannot be held in a fist, but their energy can be deposited in the home: the material representing a direction's planet captures that planet's energy there, multiplies it, raises the power of the place and nullifies negative energy.

When the main door is installed in a muhurta, its four-piece frame (chaukhat) is set up and the base piece of wood is the dehleez (threshold). Door power means installing that dehleez in a muhurta combined with the right swar, with the prescribed samagri, such as silver and pancha ratna, placed in the ground beneath it. Done this way, even a door in a wrong place has about 50 percent of its defect removed. The full door treatment is part of the complete course.

When the thresholds of thousand-year-old temples, forts and palaces were lifted, silver coins and pancha ratna were found beneath them. The dehleez itself stops negative surface currents and tantric attacks from crossing into the house; silver stops negative energy from entering and cancels the ill-effects of the door, and the pancha ratna make positive energy flow through the dehleez and multiply on every festival as it enters the house. Roots of certain plants, such as black dhatura, were also placed in the dehleez so that no ghost or evil obstruction could enter.

No. Direction rules for metals apply above the ground, where the cosmic energy of the planet's location acts, not underground. If they applied underground, silver would be found only in the North-West, gold only in the East and iron only in the West. Iron rods are laid through the whole slab anyway, so cutting a zone with an iron strip means nothing; learn vastu with logic and science.

It is essential in the main door, and very good if every door has one. In a house the teacher built in Surat, every door was given a dehleez with silver placed under it.

Give importance to the Ishaan (North-East), spend more time there and keep a silver mangal kalash. In the same way use the direction of every good planet with its colours, such as the South-East for a good Venus. If a planet is debilitated, use its direction as little as possible and avoid its colours.

Hang a Sharad Purnima moon picture and place a silver nandyavart in the wall.

A silver sava rupaya coin, 1 gram of mercury (or Bhimseni kapoor), haldi, supari, peeli sarson and panchratna, along with a silver swastik and saptadhanya.
