Construction Vastu

Gomutra Spray on Brick Masonry Before Plastering

Once the brick masonry is complete and before plastering, spray desi cow urine over the entire masonry, the way water is sprayed for curing.

All brick masonry walls of the building

Lime Layer Over the Whole Plot Before Construction

Before construction, spread lime dissolved in water over the entire land below the flooring. Given as a brahmastra and one of the sanskars of land, it nullifies geopathic negative energy.

Crystallised Hexagonal Quartz Under the Floor to Nullify a Bad Zone

Natural four-axis crystallised hexagonal quartz spread under the flooring energises a room or plot and nullifies the defect of a room built in an unsuitable zone.

Under the floor of the whole office, room or plot, especially rooms forced into zones such as SSW, WNW, SE or ESE

Gomutra Sprinkling Before Plastering Fly Ash Brick Walls

Where fly ash bricks are already laid, as in a director's chamber, sprinkling gomutra and a cow-based purifier over the brickwork before plastering changes its chemistry.

Walls built of fly ash bricks, such as an office or director's chamber

Six-Foot Soil Fill and 16 Sanskars Over Buried Bones

If at least 6 ft of soil is filled above the place where a bone lies, even a cremation ground beneath causes no trouble, provided the 16 sanskars of the land are then performed on top.

Over the spot where a bone or a cremation ground lies

Shami Wood Under the Steel in Four Corners for a Debilitated Saturn

When a person with a debilitated Shani (Saturn) builds, small pieces of shami wood are placed in all four corners first and the iron (steel) is laid on top of them.

All four corners of the structure, beneath the iron or steel

Copper Pyramid at the Base of Every Column to Neutralise Iron

Steel reinforcement raises the electromagnetic current in modern buildings; a copper pyramid of a particular angle placed at the bottom of every column nullifies this negative energy.

Bottom of every column

Gomutra Spray Before Plaster for Swastik-Stamped Bricks

Bricks stamped with a swastik create strong negative energy once laid in toilets or under the feet, because the sacred symbol is dishonoured. Where such bricks are already used, spray the brickwork with gomutra before plastering.

All walls built with swastik-stamped bricks

Mercury Injected Into the Ground to Prevent Termites

Termites appear wherever negativity settles, in wooden and cement walls as much as in mud walls; mercury injected into the ground stops them.

Ground under or around the walls

Mud-Mortar Room or Wall in the North-East for NE Doshas

A room built with mud as the adhesive instead of cement mortar carries the highest energy; in the Ishan (NE) it removes many NE doshas.

North-East (Ishan) of the house

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).

Under the ground at the shilanyas or treatment point

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).

Finding the Degree of a Vacant Plot from Roads or Neighbouring Buildings

When nothing is built on or around a plot yet, ask the engineer to draw the surrounding roads on the plan, straighten the road in the map and take the road's degree. Alternatively, take the degree of a parallel neighbouring building, ask the engineer which line the house will follow, or visit the site.

Redoing a Shilanyas Laid in the Wrong Direction

If the foundation stone (shilanyas) has been laid in the wrong direction, the earlier shilanyas is formally dissolved and a fresh one is performed in a new auspicious muhurta.

Closing a Furnace (Bhatti) Built into the Ground

A bhatti (furnace) that has been in the ground of a house should be closed only after digging out and throwing away the soil all around it.

Furnace in the ground of the house

Door Aay Formula: Length x Width Divided by 8

Multiply the door length by its width and divide by 8; the remainder is the aay of the door, which decides which direction that size suits.

Any door, especially a main door on a wrong pad

Indra-Yama-Raj Count for the Last Step of a Staircase

Stairs carry three currents linked with ida, pingala and sushumna, named Indra, Yama and Raj; count the steps in that repeating order so the last step falls on Indra or Raj, never on Yama.

Every staircase

Taking Soil for Filling: Right Sources and Asking Permission

Filling soil should come only from fertile fields or mountains, never from polluted or inauspicious places, and should be taken after giving a coconut and asking permission of the place's devta.

Plinth and floor filling of the house

Adding Special Soils to the Flooring for Peace, Business or a Temple

Mixing a handful to about a kilo of a chosen soil into the flooring raises the energy for a purpose: cowshed, mountain or elephant-stable soil for peace, yellow soil for business, white or yellow soil for homes, and pilgrimage or river soil for temples.

Flooring of the house, factory or temple

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.

Under the threshold of the main door

Silver Nandyavart Swastik in the Walls of All 16 Zones to Raise Land Energy

The nandyavart swastik raises the geopathic (earth) energy of land more than anything else; a silver nandyavart (copper if the budget is low) is placed inside the walls of all 16 zones or 32 padas except the toilet, usually at bhoomi poojan.

Inside the walls of all 16 zones or 32 padas except the toilet

Identifying Male and Female Bricks and Stones by Their Sound

Bricks and stones are male or female: when struck, one gives a khan sound and the other a jhan sound. Joining a male with a female, like plus with minus, makes them hold each other for ages.

Brick and stone masonry

A Tilted Wall Keeps the Occupant Ill and Troubled

A wall that leans even slightly unbalances the gravitational force in the room; the person who sleeps there stays ill and troubled, has bad dreams and does not sleep well.

Walls, especially bedroom walls

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.

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

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.

Plinth beam, columns, beams, walls and elevation

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.

Material Vastu: Excess Adhesives and Oil-Based Paints Harm the Lungs

Building materials affect health: the lung diseases common today are linked to the heavy use of adhesives and oil-based paints. Bricks, stones and other materials for a home should be chosen with care.

Thin Walls and Large Openings for Morning Sun, Thick Walls for Afternoon Sun

Early morning sun brings positive ultraviolet rays rich in vitamins and metals, while after about 2 pm the rays turn infrared. Openings and wall thickness are planned accordingly so the building admits good energy and blocks harmful energy.

Morning-sun side open and light; the side struck by the sun after about 2 pm heavy and closed

Toilet Seat at Water Level to Protect the Kidneys

A large study found that people whose toilet seats were not at water level suffered kidney damage, and many with heart disease, cancer and especially stomach problems had seats out of level. A level seat matters even more than the zone of the toilet.

Toilet seat (WC) in every toilet

A Pit in the Brahmasthan Never Does Good

A pit in the Brahmasthan (centre) of a plot always harms it. In the factory studied, a pit had been dug roughly at the Brahmasthan of the whole land.
