Brahmastraनमक से द्वार का उसारा

Seven Sea-Salt Lumps Usara of the Main Door

Standing outside, circle seven lumps of sea salt clockwise in front of the main door while the right nostril is active, throw the negativity out and discard the salt. Given as a great brahmastra, it brings relief from quarrels and unrest within 24 hours.

Foreign Travel and Visa: E3-E4 Door, Feet to the West and a Heavy West

An E3-E4 main door is the best for chances of going abroad; those not getting a visa should sleep with their feet towards the West and keep the West and South heavy and well built.

Main door on E3-E4; heavy West and South; feet towards the West while sleeping

Remedyगोमती चक्र स्वस्तिक

Brass Gomti Chakra Swastik Plate for a Door in SSW, WSW or East

A swastik made of gomti chakra on a 5 x 5 inch brass plate is fixed on both sides of a door in the South-South-West, West-South-West or East. It corrects the door defect without demolition and also works when those zones have another defect or are low-lying.

Both sides of the main door when the door is in SSW, WSW or East, or on the wall of a defective or low-lying SSW, WSW or East zone

Remedy

Copper Gomti Chakra Swastik Plate for Defects from South-East to East

For a defect or wrongly placed door between the South-East and the East, the gomti chakra swastik is made on a copper plate of 5 x 5 inch or of a size that gives aay 3.

Door or wall in the zone from South-East to East

Remedy

Five-Colour Mustard Potlis Behind Mango Leaves for a Wrongly Placed Door

For a door in a bad position, five potlis of yellow mustard are made in the five colours of the five elements and hung at the door, hidden behind mango leaves or a mango-leaf bandanwar. This reduces the door's defect to the minimum.

At a door in a wrong pad such as E1, E3, E6, E7 or E8, or any other defective door position

Remedy

Shoe Rack by Entrance Facing, and a Wooden Rack on Muscovite

Shoes bring outside energy, so the shoe rack stays near the entrance: on the NW side of a north-facing entrance and on the ESE side of an east-facing entrance. Where neither is possible, make the rack of wood and place muscovite (abhrak) under it.

Near the main entrance: NW side of a north-facing door, ESE side of an east-facing door

Remedyअष्टधातु घंटा

Ashtadhatu Bell at the Main Door Instead of an Electric Bell

Hang an ashtadhatu (eight-metal) bell at the main door and ring it on entering. Its sound waves drive away negative energy sitting at the door so that positive energy enters with you.

Main door, whether it stands on a right or a wrong pada

Remedy

Daily Threshold Care: Water Sprinkle, Cow-Dung Lepan and Zone-Colour Rangoli

Sprinkle a little water on the main door threshold every morning and make a rangoli to welcome the Sun. For a wrongly placed door, plaster the ground in front with cow dung daily and make the rangoli in the colour of that zone.

Remedyआम के पत्तों का बंदनवार

Mango Leaf Bandhanwar with Om and Swastik for a Wrongly Placed Door

Hang a bandhanwar of good mango leaves, ideally with Om and swastik tied on and a swastik drawn in kesar, on a main door built on a wrong pada. It reduces the ill effect of the door by about 50 percent.

Remedy

North Door Defects: Flower, Wood-Silver and Blue Crescent Swastik Torans

For a main door on a wrong North pada, hang a toran of flowers or of wood and silver, or a blue swastik bandhanwar of 9, 11, 13 or 15 swastiks in a crescent shape. Mercury rules the North and is pleased by flowers.

Remedy

West Door Defects: Metal Ashtamangal and Yellow-White Swastik Torans

For a main door on a wrong West pada, hang a metal toran of copper, brass, bronze, mixed metal or ashtadhatu made as the ashtamangal symbols, or a yellow or white swastik bandhanwar put up on a Saturday.

Remedy

Two Brass Elephants with Raised Trunks for South and South-West Entrances

The elephant represents Rahu, whose zones run from South to South-West (SSW, SW, WSW). In south-facing or nairitya-facing houses with the entry there, two brass elephants with raised trunks pacify the door dosh.

South to South-West at the entrance, facing North or East

Energy Boostingमहालक्ष्मी द्वार

Mahalakshmi Doors N4, E3 and W4 and Their Substitutes

N4, E3 and W4 are the Mahalakshmi doors through which Lakshmi enters; a house with all three open sees a heavy flow of money and many sources of income.

Gomti Chakra in Brahm Nabhi, Chabutra, Dehleez and Door Power

Gomti chakra are laid as a circle in the brahm nabhi, as a square in a chabutra and as a full line in the dehleez, and are used in every kind of door power. Each one must be laid with its smooth white face up.

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

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.

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

Questions and answers

All 72 questions
In some apartments the main door is level but is built askew in the wall section. Is that acceptable?

No, such a door is not considered right, and the occupants usually face sudden obstacles in work or sudden health issues. Get the door made straight; treatments for cases where that cannot be done are taught later.

When several people live in a house, whose horoscope decides the facing and the main door, and how long does a house affect the family?

The griha swami's (house owner's) horoscope is used; the method is taught in the astro Vastu classes. The effect of a house carries on for up to three generations.

When zoning a factory, how are the boundary wall gate and the main factory door each checked?

For the boundary wall door, zone the whole plot; for the main door, zone the constructed area. The main door is the one through which you actually enter the house or factory building, not the boundary wall gate through which a vehicle enters, and both should fall on good pads, the main door above all.

I learned elsewhere that in 81 pad vastu the East falls between E4 and E5. Is that right?

No. In 81 pad vastu exact East falls on E5 (Surya); East between E4 and E5 belongs to the 64 pad grid, so correct it. The reference is in Vishwakarma Prakash, with the page number given in the previous class; the Hindi translation from Sanskrit by Krishna Kumar Jugnu of Udaipur and the edition of Maharshi Abhay Katyayan give the same.

The lower body relates to the earth element. Can an entrance in the South or South-West cause related health problems?

Yes, it definitely does. Doors and their effects are taught in detail in the door classes.

When does a main door built on a correct pad still not give proper results?

When the route to the boundary gate is heen bahu (anti-clockwise) or prishth bhang (circling the house), when there is any dwar vedh in front such as a T-point, shool vedh, pole, tree, pit or garbage, when the house faces a cremation ground, or when the door is out of plumb and leans inward or outward. In any of these cases even doors on N3, N4, E3, E4, S4 or W4 do not give their results.

If someone needs to open an entry where a door is not possible, is a mirror the only option?

No, there are many options. Virtual doors and the other ways of opening an entry are taught in the door remedy classes.

If the main door is on a negative pad, does a clockwise or anti-clockwise route to the boundary gate change its results?

Yes. A correctly placed door with an anti-clockwise (heen bahu) exit gives fewer good results than it should. A door on a negative pad such as E5 or E6, whose route runs clockwise to a gate on W4 or W5, gives much less negative effect than the pad alone would.

Is the peephole (door eye) in the main door a dosh?

No. It is part of the door system and is sealed with a lens or glass, so it is not a chhidra yukt dwar. Only a hole passing right through the door makes a chhidra yukt (holed) door.

What is the effect of a door that opens outward?

Any door opening outward slowly drains the energy of the house, that is its money, wealth and other good things.

Must the house be at 0 degrees for a sarvatobhadra dwar?

By definition it is at 0 degrees with doors in all four directions, but it can be made otherwise too: build the doors on whichever pads fall on Pushpdant, Grihakshat, Bhallat and E4.

Should window shutters open outward or inward?

Outward. The door brings energy into the house, while the window is there to throw out the negativity created inside, so its shutters should open outward.
