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).

Principle

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.

Principle

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.

Questions and answers

Two flats were merged 10 to 12 years ago, the toilet and bath now fall at the centre, and the head of the family has stomach problems. Can the house be given two centres?

Either remove the toilet, which is rarely practical, or keep the two flats separate through kilan: four copper nails at the corners of one flat and four at the corners of the other. At griha pravesh a raksha sutra is tied around the house and nails are fixed at the four corners so that the current moves along them, and kilan divides the current the same way. Even on the third floor, simply drill and fix 1.5-inch copper nails.

Is there a particular muhurta for doing kilan?
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.

Our house faces a cremation ground and despite hard work we have had no results for four years. What should we do?

A house facing a cremation ground drains about 90% of the effort, and changes made in it give only about 10% results. Mercury and mercury nails placed all around give some relief but not full results. Plan to leave the house and take another one in time to secure the future of the children.
