Where it is used

Method

Place Shilanyas and Treatment Items Under the Ground at Water Level

Items placed under the ground at bhoomi poojan or shilanyas, such as the naag-nagin pair, the foundation stone (shila) and the kalash, and treatment items such as pyramids or silver and gold nandavart, give results only when set at water level (zero degree).

Spirit level

Under the ground at the shilanyas or treatment point

Principle

Floors Level or Sloping Only Toward the North-East

The earth cooled from a ball of fire and tilted about 23.4 degrees toward the North-East, so a floor that is level or falls gently toward the North-East is in harmony with nature. An uneven floor, or one sloping any other way, is one of the biggest defects whatever the zone.

Spirit level

Floors of all rooms, toilets and bathrooms; slope of the plot

Principle

Gravitational Force: Keep the Whole Building Level and in Plumb

Gravitational force acts between the earth and every building, object and person. When columns, beams, walls, plaster and elevation are aligned with plumb line and level, the force stays balanced and the occupants remain healthy and alert; misalignment brings obstacles, illness and loss.

Spirit level

Plinth beam, columns, beams, walls and elevation

Principle

Main Door and Dehleez Must Be Level and Upright

Even a main door placed on a correct pad such as E3 or E4 gives no result if its threshold (dehleez) is not at water level or the door leans. A door leaning outward slowly empties the house, and one leaning inward invites illness.

Spirit level

Main door and its dehleez (threshold)

Principle

Study Table, Counter and Gaddi at Zero Level for Focus

Children who cannot concentrate on studies often have a study table that is not level, so the gravitational force on it is not balanced. The same applies to a shop counter and the owner's seat (gaddi).

Spirit level

Children's study table, cash counter and the owner's gaddi

Principle

Keep Furniture, Tables and the Tijori in Water Level and Alignment

The third principle of interior vastu: furniture, tables, the tijori (safe), artefacts and idols must sit perfectly level and in proper alignment so that gravitational force acts on them correctly.

Spirit level (water level) for checking

Study tables, meeting and work tables, tijori, artefacts, floors and ceilings

Principle

Office Principles: North-South Axis, North Facing, Ventilation, Level Furniture

An office must be full of energy, with the chairman's cabin longer on the North-South axis, the owner facing North, proper ventilation, perfectly level furniture and a floor sloping to the North-East.

Water level (spirit level) for checking furniture

Office, especially the director's or chairman's cabin

Principle

Study Room Layout: Door, Cross Ventilation, Slope and a Level Study Table

A study room needs its door in the NE, East, North or West, cross-ventilation, a correct slope, a perfectly level study table and bookshelves on a North or East-facing wall.

Questions and answers

What does water level mean in Vastu?

Water level means that a surface lies at one equal level throughout, perfectly flat, as shown by the bubble of a spirit level. The plinth beam, main door threshold, bed, toilet seat, tijori, study table and machines should all be at water level so that the gravitational force acts correctly. A spirit level is easy to buy and is also available on mobile phones; a practical demonstration is given in the next class.

In a new flat handed over by the builder the toilet seat is already fitted but is not level. How can it be corrected?

Get the seat removed and refitted perfectly level, because health matters more than the cost. Many people found with kidney, heart and cancer problems, and especially stomach problems, had toilet seats that were not at water level. The main door too must be in plumb, leaning neither in nor out, and level where it stands.

Why do the same treatment items give results for some practitioners and not for others?

Often because the items, such as pyramids or silver and gold nandavart, were not placed at water level. Unless an item is set at zero degree the gravitational force does not act on it, and it gives no result however valuable it is.

In a house with uneven levels, how can we tell whether the South-West is low-lying?

Check with a water level (spirit level) or a contour map, or simply pour a bucket of water on the floor: the direction in which it flows is the direction of the slope.

My main door is on E4, yet since moving into this house I have had many money problems. Why?

First check whether the door is in plumb and level with a plumb line and water level, and whether a wall or another door stands in front of it. In this case the entrance was fine; the real cause was a full basement in the South and West portion, together with a problem in the North-East.

What are soot and saval?

They are the mason tools for checking that a wall or door is true: a plumb bob hanging on a thread like a pendulum shows whether it is in one line from top to bottom. Masons also use a guniya (L-shaped square) and a water level, and a vastu consultant should carry the plumb line and water level.

Should a pyramid be kept only on the ground, and how should it be placed on a table?

It can be kept on a table too. Wherever a pyramid is installed it must sit at zero degrees, perfectly level, and be aligned along the North-South axis, correcting for any tilt; people who get no results usually do not know how to install it.
