Jain Origin of Vastu: Shilpa Taught by Adi Prabhu to Vishwakarma

In the Jain account, during the bhog bhoomi of the third era kalpavriksha trees granted every wish, until rising sin made them stop giving.

Questions and answers

Which mantra is used while pouring water in the pit test and in the vastu devta havan, and where can it be found?

The water mantra chanted while pouring water into the pit is not found in Jinvani; it was to be shared with the class group (exact words: refer to the class recording), and the Gayatri Mantra can be used instead. The Bhoomi Jagran Mantra used for aahuti on the land is found in the book Pratishtha Parag, a text on pratishtha (consecration).

Who is the originator (janak) of interior vastu?

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.

Where can a wine bar or meat be kept in the house?

No place is selected for wine, a bar or meat. In a house where any living being is killed or eaten vastu does not work, so the family is first asked to give these up before a vastu visit.

Can a photo of Sammed Shikharji be put in the bedroom?

Venus and Jupiter are never friends. Sleep belongs to Saturn and the comforts of the bedroom to Venus, so a Jupiter picture like this suits the bedroom only if you observe celibacy (brahmacharya) and restraint.
