Remedy

Shoe Rack by Entrance Facing, and a Wooden Rack on Muscovite

Shoes bring outside energy, so the shoe rack stays near the entrance: on the NW side of a north-facing entrance and on the ESE side of an east-facing entrance. Where neither is possible, make the rack of wood and place muscovite (abhrak) under it.

North Door Defects: Flower, Wood-Silver and Blue Crescent Swastik Torans

For a main door on a wrong North pada, hang a toran of flowers or of wood and silver, or a blue swastik bandhanwar of 9, 11, 13 or 15 swastiks in a crescent shape. Mercury rules the North and is pleased by flowers.

Door Power: Dehleez Installation in Muhurta with Silver and Pancha Ratna

Door power means installing the dehleez, the base wood of the four-piece door frame, in a proper muhurta and swar with protective samagri placed in the ground beneath it. Done this way it removes about 50 percent of the dosh even of a wrongly placed door.

Energy-Friendly Construction Materials: Bricks, Lime, Wood and Road Metal

Natural materials hold planetary energy while petroleum by-products hold none. Use fire-baked clay bricks, lime where possible, no more than two or three species of wood and black basalt road metal, and build walls in plumb with a honeycomb bond.

Dehleez Rules: Wood or Stone, Above Floor Level, in Every Door

A dehleez is essential in the main door and good in every door. Make it of wood for a soft nature or of stone for firmness, keep it above the floor and mount the door on top of it.

Main Door Proportion, Four-Piece Chaukhat and Aay Calculation

The main door should be rectangular, its height twice its width, with a four-piece wooden chaukhat. When the 1:2 ratio cannot be kept, size it by aay (length times width divided by 8) to get a 1 or 3 aay door.

Questions and answers

All 21 questions
If furniture made by carpenters is placed on a devta's pad, does it affect the devta?

All 45 devta places cannot be left empty, or there would be nowhere to live or keep things in a house or flat. The Vedic texts say to protect the ashtamansh (one-eighth part of the pad); wooden items kept on any devta's place, even on a marma, are not counted as a dosh, because wood does not sink in water but floats. Besides, the devta's place lies beneath us, and the devta is basically a particular energy.

The entrance is between North and East and outside footwear brings outside energy. Where should the shoe rack go?

For a north-facing entrance, make the shoe rack toward the North-West; for an east-facing entrance, toward the East-South-East. If neither is possible, put muscovite (abhrak) under the rack wherever it stands and make it of wood, not metal, because bacteria run on metal, as corona showed.

A wooden temple with elephant figures stands in the North-East. Is that fine?

Elephant figures should stand on something solid, not hang in the air. The temple can stay, but a temple with elephants is better placed in the West.

What should be done if the overhead tank is directly above the bed?

Paste a thin layer of muscovite (mica) on the ceiling, or give the room a wooden ceiling. Sleeping under an overhead tank generates hydro currents that raise the risk of heart problems.

If stairs have to be built in the North out of compulsion, how should they be made?

Leave some space in the North and build the stairs of wood, since wood also represents Mercury and is light. If a cement structure is unavoidable, leave even more space. Never make them anticlockwise or spiral: anticlockwise and rounded stairs should not be built anywhere in the house.

Is a wooden staircase in the middle of the house leading to the basement right or wrong?

Wooden stairs can be anywhere, but no staircase should be in the Brahmasthan. Because it is wooden, it reduces the dosh by about 50%.

Is it all right to have an electric board under the stairs?

No, an electric board under the stairs is not good. Cover it with plywood or wood.

Are stairs made of mixed iron and plywood acceptable in the North?

Stairs should not be built in the North at all; if they must be, use wood. Many showrooms with wooden double-height staircases are found to do very well, because wood represents Mercury just as stairs and business do, so wooden stairs boost intelligence and keep business running.

What can be planned under the stairs then?

Cover the space with plywood and store unused things there, such as clothes and mattresses. A toilet, generator or bed should never be placed under the stairs.

Should the study table also be of solid wood?
My main door is in the South; how should it be treated?

In interior vastu a wrong door is treated only with symbols and similar items, since the full door treatment alone would take about five classes. For South door defects the class gives bandhanwars of stone or gems, a toran of copper and wood, and a red triangular swastik bandhanwar hung on a Saturday or Tuesday. In the South only S4 is a good pada, and it suits those with Kark, Makar or Kanya rashi, mulank 9, or an exalted or own-sign Mars.

What shape and proportion should the main door have?

It should always be rectangular, with a full chaukhat of four pieces of wood; a three-piece frame does not give the same results even on N4. Its height should be twice its width, for example 7 feet high for a 3.5-foot width, so do not run doors up to the full height of the room as some new buildings do. Where the 1:2 ratio cannot be kept, calculate the aay (length x width divided by 8; the remainder is the aay) and make a door of 1 or 3 aay. Avoid triangular doors (trouble for women), shakat doors (trouble for the family head), supa and sun-shaped doors (loss of money), bow-shaped doors (family disputes) and round doors (trouble for children, more girls born).
