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
When a washing machine stands in the wrong place, a wooden platform made to a particular aay size and placed under it generates the element needed there.
Under the washing machine where it stands in a wrong zone
Painting a school or study room in green (Mercury, intellect) and ivory (Jupiter, education) restores children's health and concentration.
School buildings, classrooms and children's study rooms
When a home suffers constant quarrels or illness, paint it pista (pistachio green) if the owner's Mercury is not debilitated, or white if the Moon is not afflicted, and add peace symbols and friendly element shapes.
Rooms where the unrest or illness is felt
For a person who gets angry often, the room is done up only with anger-controlling, mind-calming portraits, photos, idols, artifacts, symbols and colour combinations.
Bedroom or personal room of the angry person
Whatever zone the kitchen is in, move the burner to the South-East of that kitchen and set it so the cook faces East, or North if East is impossible. This is the best kitchen treatment and removes many doshas.
South-East of the kitchen room
Fire and water in the kitchen should be at least four feet apart; when they are closer, stand a vertical slab of the same platform stone between them.
Kitchen platform, between burner and sink
Turning the toilet seat so the user faces North or South, never East or West, corrects about half the dosh of a toilet even when it stands in a wrong zone.
Toilet seat on the North-South axis
A defect in the South means a damaged Mars; strengthening Mars with stone cladding, stone flooring, stone statues and red coral or hematite nullifies the South defect.
South
Staircases represent Mercury: broken or shaky stairs make the business shaky, while well-made, decorated stairs with wooden railings strengthen it.
Staircase
When the East is closed by a raised wall or a heavy structure, items that capture the Sun energy are placed in the East so that the Sun still rises in the home.
East direction and East wall
A person with a weak Mars in the chart almost always has a South dosh at home. Stone cladding with projecting stones on the South wall, stone showpieces in the South and better relations with brothers and friends strengthen Mars and the South.
South wall and South zone
A full Moon painting in the North-West strengthens the zone, and an actual photograph of the Sharad Purnima Moon works far more powerfully than an artificial image.
North-West wall
Vedic vastu describes that a water body in the West, the place of Varun, with one lotus blooming in it reduces all the vastu doshas of the house. It must be raised above the ground, never dug.
West
Place a protractor on the house plan aligned to North, adjusting for any tilt, and mark the 4 directions, the 4 sub-directions at 45 degrees and 8 further sub-directions at 22.5 degrees. For a house use the 81-pad layout, in which the 32 outer devtas each cover 11.25 degrees and N5, E5, S5 and W5 fall exactly on the cardinal points.
House plan, from the centre of the house
Ivory, a very light yellow, represents the earth element, which is why ivory floor tiles are the most preferred and generate the most energy in a house.
Flooring of the house
Royal interiors such as the Mysore Palace marked a brahma nabhi (navel) at the centre of the floor and hung chandeliers of sphatik (crystal) to raise the energy of the Brahmasthan, with colours chosen from the ruler's element and planets.
Brahmasthan (centre of the house)
Planets cannot be pulled down, but placing the metal, wood, colours and items representing the planet exalted in your kundli at that planet's own location in the house captures its energy.
The direction of the exalted planet
The Moon (white) and Jupiter (golden yellow) together form the Gaj Kesari yoga; an interior with white walls and golden yellow carvings recreates this yoga in the home.
Whole house interior
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
Stairs stand for business, intellect and wealth, so a strong, beautifully designed staircase with wood, glass, green leaves and flowers multiplies wealth, while shaky or broken stairs sink money.
Staircase
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.
Kitchen: kalash and photo at the SE; swastik at eye level in front of the cook
A swan statue or painting in the NNW of the bedroom and rose or pink rose wallpaper on the South wall strengthen Venus and romance between the couple.
Bedroom: swan in the NNW; wallpaper on the South wall
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.
Main door and the wall around it
Quartz balls capture and generate energy and raise the energy of a zone; each direction takes its own colour, and a ball should be at least 3 inches in diameter.
Each direction as listed
The ishaan is the place of Jupiter and water belongs to the Moon, so a kalash filled with water in the North-East creates Gajkesari yoga (Moon with Jupiter) in the home.
North-East (ishaan)
A message painting designed by the teacher: a kalash is established in the ishaan corner, the sun rises behind it, the lotus blooms and energy spreads, raising positive energy in the whole house. It is painted on a glass partition between North and East, or on cloth.
Partition between North and East
A person's element comes from the janma rashi, the rashi number written with the Moon (Cha) in the kundali. Writing the 12 rashis in order under Fire, Earth, Air and Water gives each element three rashis.
Each of the four elements gives a typical temperament, walk, speech and complexion. Comparing a person's nature with the element of the janma rashi shows how far the person has changed their element.
The bedroom colour should combine the zone colour with the colour that awakens your fortune; without a horoscope, find that colour by browsing a full colour catalogue and noting the colours you instinctively like.
Bedroom walls
This is a subject of astro vastu. Different items represent different planets; if a planet is very negative in your kundli and you keep the item that represents it, the negativity grows further. Which item suits which home, and with what, is covered in interior vastu.
No. The element relationships are taught in much more detail in interior vastu, including the cases where two elements come together in one place.
Colours are taught in interior vastu; do not get confused now and focus on what is being taught.
No problem. As taught in interior vastu, make one symbolically, and if that is not possible, make a figure (picture) of it.
All 45 devta places cannot be left empty, or there would be nowhere to live or keep things in a house or flat. The Vedic texts say to protect the ashtamansh (one-eighth part of the pad); wooden items kept on any devta's place, even on a marma, are not counted as a dosh, because wood does not sink in water but floats. Besides, the devta's place lies beneath us, and the devta is basically a particular energy.
Yes. Water stored anywhere, including on the roof, represents the water element. But if the tank is built in a square shape, it moves to the earth element, because the square is the earth element's shape, and it becomes an earth combination.
Decide room by room. In your own bedroom use the materials of your exalted planet and not of your debilitated one; your daughter's bedroom is designed from her kundli. The house facing and common areas such as the drawing room and kitchen are decided from the grih swami's kundli. Many people make the master bedroom in the South-West by default, which is wrong when Rahu is debilitated: such people suffered there and got very good results after moving to another direction.
Adi Brahma (Adi Prabhu) gave each son a different knowledge: Bharat received arthashastra, Bahubali kaam neeti and Ayurveda, Vrishabhsen gandharva shastra (music and instruments), and Anant Vijay all the arts of painting, colour, brushwork and artefacts. Anant Vijay is therefore the source of interior knowledge, which he spread further, and Vishwakarma received the knowledge of vastu.
Because the interior changes colours, furniture directions, tiles and artefacts without regard to the owner's element and planets. Often the colours belong to the element opposite to the owner's, artefacts are combined wrongly, or harmful adhesives, lights and lead-based paints are used. One client who spent 60 to 80 lakh on an interior saw his loans turn NPA and his wife leave; his whole house had been painted in the colours of his opposite element.
No. Interior is done to use the maximum energy of the universe, balance the five elements, control particular emotions and achieve a particular goal. Every painting, artefact, idol, colour and orientation changes the mind through images (chitra se chitt), so the interior itself can balance the five elements, the nine planets and the three forces of a home, temple or factory.
It is the height from the floor up to the ceiling (slab) of the room.
Yes, move to the second, third and further options. As a professional, give the client a written list: the first option according to the kundali and element, then the second, third, fourth and fifth options. This is covered with kundalis in the diploma.
