Nariyal (Coconut)

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.

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, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.
