Keel (Nails)

Mercury Keel Grid Around the Property After Removing Negative Spirits

After strong negative entities (bhoot-pret) are removed from a place, it is sealed with a protective grid of solid mercury keels (nails) in the four directions and four corners, so the removed energy cannot return. In severe cases 12 or 16 points are sealed and mercury pyramids and mercury swastiks are added.

Kilan With Copper Nails to Separate Two Merged Flats With a Toilet at the Centre

When two flats are merged and the toilet falls at the new centre, do kilan separately for each flat: four copper nails at the corners of one flat and four at the corners of the other, so that the energy current moves along each set of nails and the two flats work as separate units.

8 copper nails, about 1.5 inch long (four for each flat)

Ati Marma: Nine Vital Points of the Plot That Must Stay Free

Ati marma are the nine most sensitive points of the Vastu grid, formed where six devta-to-devta lines cross. In a regular, proportionate plot almost all of them fall in the Brahmasthan, and any piercing, load or dirt on them blocks the energy of the whole plot and brings severe, lasting trouble, above all to the owner (griha swami).

Choosing Wood for Furniture and Beds: Teak, Sandalwood, Sal and Asan

Teak is the best furniture wood, ideally with a little sandalwood mixed in and joined with wooden pegs or copper or brass nails. Asan wood drives away negativity and disease, while tendu must never be used and mango must never be used for a bed.

Never Nail the Centre of a Door's Top Frame (Agya Chakra)

The main door is the face (mukh mandal) of the house and every door and window is a face; the centre of the top frame corresponds to the agya chakra between the eyebrows. A nail driven there damages it and the household suffers constant headaches.
