Also known asagarbattiincensedhoop batti
When negativity shows on a land at the start of work, keep performing havan with aahuti and mantra jaap until the smell turns fragrant; the negative energy then leaves on its own.
On the land where work is starting
When a family sleeps far too much, the home sits on a lazy, dormant land whose fire element has fallen to zero; a havan, an eight-day cow ghee akhand jyot in the South-East and daily dhoop with Bhimseni kapoor restore the fire and correct the sleep.
South-East zone of the home
When someone feels their shop, marriage or work has been bound (bandhan) by black magic, a havan of yellow mustard is done with the person seated before it; its smoke frees them from the binding.
Near the affected person or at the bound place
After a birth or death in the family (sutak or patak) the Vastu devtas are affected too, so the whole house is purified: clothes are washed, raw clay vessels are thrown away, a dhoop kund is carried through the house and offerings are made to the Vastu devtas.
Whole house
Pendulums are metallic (copper, silver, steel, brass) or non-metallic (quartz and its variety amethyst); a genuine, heavy pendulum is cleaned in salt water, purified with fragrant dhoop and given the intention to work with you before any use.
Fragrant dhoop is burnt on the land or in the flat, alone or during havan: the more its fragrance grows, the better the place, while a foul smell or no fragrance at all marks a bad land.
On the land or inside the flat
Aahuti (oblations) are offered with fragrant dhoop to each of the 45 Vastu Devtas on the land; the devta at whose aahuti a sneeze, itching, crackling, harsh words, a frightening sound or crying is noticed marks the zone where the land holds a defect.
On the land, over the zones of the 45 Vastu Devtas
A mantra chanted while offering aahuti on a land to awaken it; it is used to verify the land's energy through the havan and to keep working until the negativity leaves.
On the land
Such land can be corrected through Vastu too: special dhoop and samagri for removing bhoot-pret badha are taught later in the course.
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.
