Questions and Answers

Getting up at about 2 or 3 am to pass urine is not counted as waking up. The tithi swar is checked at the moment you actually wake from sleep; it has nothing to do with the time of sunrise.

The earth element (prithvi tatva) has the longest share, 20 of every 60 minutes among the five tatvas of a swar. In the same way, the earth element of the land, its land energy, carries 70 percent of the result in vastu.

All the methods are good, but no method in the world is greater than swar. Many methods cannot be used in a flat, while swar can check a flat, a land or anything else. Learn swar well, practise it and do nadi shodhan; then you may not even need to visit the plot, because someone standing there can phone you and you can tell from where you are.

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.

A question gets a true answer only when the person being asked sits with a calm, concentrated mind and steady chitta, ideally early in the morning in brahma muhurta at his seat. If he has been working for hours with his Surya swar active and you ask at that moment, the same swar keeps running and no connection with your question forms. Sending repeated messages does not create the connection either.

The scanner reading and the results in life should match; if the scanner says the energy is fine while the problems continue, the scanner is at fault. The best scanner is the one built into you, your own breath. Check the home with your swar after nadi shodhan instead of relying on market scanners.

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.

It is best to remove shoes and slippers, though wearing them causes no real problem, because the reading comes from the air you inhale after it meets the land, and you can breathe either way. Barefoot, the current also enters the body directly through the bhoomi chakra of the earth element in the big toe of the right foot, in addition to the nose.

In hand scanning, hold the breath only while spreading the arms; then release it and bring the hands together slowly without holding it. While throwing the coconut, take a breath and let it go as you throw.

Yes, all the methods taught here are to be done in Surya swar; the kesar swastik in particular is drawn in the earth (prithvi) tatva of Surya swar.

Use the pit water method taught in the previous class. With swar, walk the whole land: if the same swar keeps running with the water or earth element throughout, whether it is Chandra swar or Surya swar, the land is good.

Yes, the swar becomes reversed; during a cold the Chandra swar runs more. To clear accumulated kapha, change the swar and run the Surya swar, forcibly if needed; congestion built up over many days takes time and will not clear in a day. The body stays warm inside however cold it is outside, just as borewell water comes out warm in winter.

It needs proper tatva swar training; the element is known from how many angul the breath reaches. It also shows in the mind: steadiness means the earth element, joy the water element, restlessness the air element, anger the fire element and indifference the space element.

The swar running at that moment decides it. Dowsing must be done in Surya swar, in its earth element; when it is done in the wrong swar the instrument does not move or gives wrong results.

Where there is heat, coolness is given, and where there is cold, heat is given; heat added to heat burns things out and cold added to cold also ends them. It is like swar, where the cooling chandra swar should flow in the body while the Sun is up. E7 lies next to the fire (Agni) corner, so it was given blue.

Sagun is a swar vigyan technique that is learnt fully only in the complete swar training; in brief, the lamp is lit while holding the breath. A lamp lit in sagun burns far longer: a 100 g ghee lamp lit on Dussehra burned for 10 to 12 days and a 10 g lamp has burned for 27 days, so a desi cow ghee lamp in the South-East of the kitchen needs only 25 to 50 g of ghee a day. A conch blown in sagun while holding a wish drives all negative energy out of the house.

The two shutters correspond to the Ida and Pingala nadis: we breathe through one nostril and then the other, each flowing for about an hour, so a door with two shutters brings energy in and lets it out easily, while a single shutter struggles to do both. Doors thousands of years old, and even the small room doors of old palaces, were always made with two shutters. The main door must have two shutters; inner doors should preferably have two as well, though one shutter is acceptable there.

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.

A door is placed by pada, but a window does not work on the surface current: currents are dense near the ground and lighter higher up, so positive energy stays higher, which makes ventilation a must. Windows and ventilators bring in clean air and push the negativity of the house out, so they should open outward, while the main door opens inward; sliding windows are acceptable. Keep windows in even numbers, two-shuttered if possible, in one row at one level, with a window beside the main door; open all windows in the morning and keep the left (Chandra swar) window open during the day.

Clockwise only. Standing outside the main door, circle the hand holding the seven lumps clockwise in front of the door for the rounds, then sweep once or twice from the front as if pouring the energy out and throwing it away outside. Do it only while the right nostril (Surya swar) is active; done in the left swar it gives no result and instead invites negativity. Swar vigyan is the base of everything, and without swar, vastu is handicapped.

Red represents Mars and the Surya swar and generates heat, fire and zeal in the body. With it porters lift around 80 kg without a slip disc, while an ordinary person may hurt the back lifting 10 kg, which is why the colour has never been changed at any station.

The left side is the chandra nadi and the right side the surya nadi. The surya nadi is for fierce or aggressive work, while timely and stable work belongs to the chandra nadi: shilanyas and griha pravesh are done in the chandra nadi at a fixed muhurta, so the watch, which keeps you on time, goes on the left. Also, in the vastu of the human body the left hand represents the North, where Mercury lives and where the clock is hung.

A chabutra is a solid structure built as a cube, with equal length, width and height. There are 24 kinds for different purposes; the general one comes from swar vigyan and balances the five elements of the house. It stands for the earth element, which belongs to the South-West, and once the earth element is balanced it balances all the others more or less.

Select a muhurta if possible. Otherwise make swastiks for shanti and paushtik (peaceful, nourishing) work in the Chandra swar and for ugra (forceful) work in the Surya swar. Any remedy done in the wrong swar gives no result.
