Method

Bhav: Honour the Mason, Contractor and Consultant First at Bhoomi Poojan

At the shilanyas or bhoomi poojan of any house or factory the first tilak goes to the mason (shilpi), contractor or Vastu consultant, not the pandit, and they are given the best clothes and a shriphal (coconut). Their goodwill enters the building, while a craftsman's tears of hurt in the mortar act like a buried bone (shalya dosh).

Vidhi to Close an Old Dug Well with the Permission of Varun Devta

A well older than 25 years is a pujya (revered) seat of Varun devta and must never be filled in without a vidhi: transfer its deities into a coconut, lower a kalash, fill it with river sand and soil, and leave the coconut in a working well.

Mangal Kalash in the North-East Filled with Samagri

After Om and swastik the kalash is the greatest symbol and is established before every beginning (wedding, business start, construction, any of the 16 sanskar). A filled mangal kalash with a coconut in the North-East of every home, factory and office forms Gajkesari yoga and balances the five elements.

Vastu Devtaभृश देवता

Bhrisha Devta (E7, 106.875 to 118.125 Degrees): Profile, Samagri and Remedies

Bhrisha, the seventh devta of the East, is weighty and powerful with its own gravity; balanced, it awakens the nerves of the brain and raises thinking power, observation and one-pointed concentration, like a bird gazing fixedly at one point. Imbalanced, the mind gets confused, the nature turns dominating and kidney problems appear.

Satya Devta (E6, 95.625 to 106.875 Degrees): Profile, Samagri and Remedies

Satya, the sixth devta of the East, is the son of Dharma and stands for truth, goodwill and justice; like a village panchayat whose members speak the truth, it gives fair decisions. Balanced, it makes a person a good judge and advisor; imbalanced, lies spread through the house and honour is lost.

Questions and answers

All 17 questions
At a bhoomi poojan, why is the first tilak given to the mason rather than the pandit?

Because the feelings (bhav) of the builder enter the building. Honouring the mason, contractor or Vastu consultant with tilak, good clothes and a coconut makes him work with joy, while a hurt craftsman's tears in the mortar bring repeated sorrow to the house.

For the coconut toss test, should the coconut be water-filled or dry?

Take a water-filled coconut for the toss; the coconut thrown in the demonstration was water-filled. A dry coconut is used instead when dowsing for ground water.

In hand scanning and the coconut toss, when should the breath be held and when released?

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.

Can the coconut toss be done inside a house with a 10-foot roof?

No, do it in open ground. Thrown to a low height, the coconut naturally falls close by and shows nothing; it must go up at least 10 feet.

How should the coconut be held for the toss?

Always with the pointed end upward, just as a person walks with the head up. A coconut has three eyes, a head and a tail, and it is the only fruit in which all five elements are perfectly present.

When dowsing, is the bone or water located where you stand, where your hand is, or where the coconut lands?

It is located where the pendulum turns clockwise or anticlockwise, at the spot under the hand, about an arm's length of one and a half to two feet from the body. It is not where a jumping coconut finally falls, but where the movement began.

Some dowse for water with a coconut, some with a stone or guava wood; which is right?

Any of them, because the dowser is the person; the tool is only a bridge, a medium in which the current produces movement. Some people dowse with bare hands, and some sway or tremble where water is. Only a person whose body reacts to the energy can check it; people who live in a negative place get used to it, like a worm content in a drain.

How should an old well be closed?

A well older than 25 years is a seat of Varun devta and must not simply be filled in. Do the vastu registry with a coconut, asking the deities of the well to enter it, do three pradakshina, and after a few hours leave the coconut in another well in daily use. Lower a kalash marked with a swastik and filled with haldi and other items, add soil or sand of five rivers (or sea sand), and fill the well with good soil.

How do we know whether Shikhi or Parjanya is deactivated?

Use the same tests taught for activation. If the devta is deactivated, no fragrance spreads (desi ghee for Shikhi, chandan for Parjanya) and no sprouting happens (the wheat jaware for Shikhi, the coconut on the kalash for Parjanya).

Does the coconut kalash for Parjanya work when kept outside a door at E2?

Yes. In a flat seen on a recent visit, whose door is exactly at E2 (Parjanya), the resident keeps a water-filled kalash with a coconut on it outside the door and changes the water daily; the coconut has grown into a large plant, and the resident reported very good results for ten years without needing any planetary remedies. This is exactly the remedy prescribed for Parjanya.

In which month are Shikhi and Parjanya devtas awake?

Every devta has its own month; Shikhi and Parjanya stay awake in Shravan (Sawan). The coconut kalash can still be placed at Parjanya after Shravan has passed; once Parjanya is awake it fulfils the wishes of the residents, so that in such a house whoever enters and voices a wish sees it fulfilled.

Which coconut oil should be used for the lamp test?

Use pure coconut oil of the kind that solidifies when it is even slightly cold, like the edible coconut oil used in the South. If that is not available, a blended brand such as Parachute can be used if it burns properly.
