Diamond Powder Swastik in the South-East to Boost Agni Energy

The acharyas advise placing diamond in the ground of the South-East to increase its power. Where the floor is already built, as in a flat, a swastik drawn with inexpensive diamond chip powder in the South-East serves the same purpose.

South-East direction of the land, house or flat

Mahalakshmi Doors N4, E3 and W4 and Their Substitutes

Guru Photo, Mangal Kalash and Swastik in the Kitchen Instead of a Temple

Do not build a temple in the kitchen; keep a small Mangal kalash at the agneya kon with a small photo of your Guru or ishta, and draw a swastik in front of your eyes so the food cooked becomes like amrit.

Swastik drawn at eye level

Kitchen: kalash and photo at the SE; swastik at eye level in front of the cook

Face-Like Main Door: Lamp Niches, Jharokhas, Tilak Symbol and Lips

Design the main door like a face: two shutters as the nostrils, two small niches as the eyes, two jharokhas as the ears, an Om or swastik as the tilak, and the threshold and upper frame as the lips. Ancient texts say such decoration multiplies the power of the main door many times.

Swastik or Om at the top centre as the tilak

Om, Swastik, Kalash and Isht Name on the Main Door in a Shubh Muhurta

Mark Om and swastik on the main door, write the name of your isht (chosen deity) and add auspicious symbols such as kalash and darpan. Do it in a good muhurta such as Basant Panchami or after the Sun turns Uttarayan.

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.

Questions and answers

All 22 questions
Can the kesar swastik test be done on kitchen wall tiles?

It can be made on kitchen tiles, but a whitewashed surface is a must for the test. Make it in the earth (prithvi) tatva of Surya swar.

A South boring was abandoned and a new one dug in the right place. How should the old pit be closed permanently?

Put five haldi, five supari, panch ratna and a silver swastik into it, then fill it completely with sand.

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.

The house door falls on Parjanya (E2) and the family has more girls; why, and what can be done?

A door at Parjanya makes the house female dominated: females are more in number, more female calves are born and the first child is often a daughter, though this also depends on the fifth house of the horoscope. The remedy is to make the Om and swastik symbol taught for Shikhi at that door.

Are the symbols used in these treatments, such as the swastik, Vedic or newly made?

The symbols are taken from the Vedic tradition, such as the swastik, but they are designed with an added element that generates and spreads their energy, and the material they are engraved on matters. Each piece was to be shown physically in class.

Can a swastik or other devta symbols be used in a bathroom or toilet?

No. Every item has rules: the height at which it is fixed, placing it inside, never at foot level and never in a toilet. A swastik is never put in a toilet at any cost, and there is no reason to activate devtas inside a toilet, since that gives their place to the toilet.

Should the gomti chakra swastik plate be fixed inside the wall, or can it hang outside where people see it?

It need not be hidden. The swastik is the most energetic symbol, and you already hang curtains and many other things that people see. Hang it or stick it as the space allows; if you keep worrying about what people will say, it will not give results.

Is it right to use bricks stamped with a swastik?

No. The swastik and Om are the most sacred symbols, and a swastik generates about 10 lakh bovis of energy; when such bricks end up in toilets and floors, people walk and relieve themselves on it, and the same amount of negative energy is generated in the house, harming all work. In one case a family built a whole house of swastik bricks, and within three months of griha pravesh three members died in an accident and another later died of a heart attack. Recommend plain burnt clay bricks (fly ash bricks are not good either); where swastik bricks are already laid, spray gomutra (cow urine) on them before plastering.

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.

How thick should the dehleez be, and of what material?

The dehleez should be 3 inches thick and made of high-grade, artistic wood. The door too should be artistic: old doors carried symbols such as Om and Swastik, mantras and creeper motifs, which increase the door's power.

What results do flush, plywood, fiber and glass main doors give?

The main door should be only of wood, best of teak, and royal doors were of sandalwood or had a little sandalwood mixed in. Flush doors are made from plywood of thorny shrubs, so even a house costing crores with a cheap flush main door does not get good results, because energy takes on the chemistry of the material it passes through. A sandalwood Om or Swastik pasted on the door also gives very good results.

Which toran should a vastu consultant (vastuvid) hang?

The teacher left it to the students; their suggestions, a mango leaf swastik toran and a toran of cow-dung cakes, were both called correct. He then gave his best (Kohinoor) bandhanwar for any wrongly placed door: make round discs of desi cow dung, draw a swastik on each, fix them on a bandhanwar strip and hang it on the main door, and the defects end. The alternative, a daily desi cow-dung lepan in front of the main door with a rangoli in the colour of its zone, is hard to keep up every day, so the permanent bandhanwar is better.
