Vastu Diploma

Complete Diploma Series13

1. 1Definitions of Vastu and Its Three Forces: Sun, Magnetic and Gravitational EnergyThe opening class of the Vastu diploma defines Vastu from the classical texts: the land of residence, the coordination of human and nature, orientation by the sun, the free movement of air and the balance of the five elements. It stresses that land energy carries about 70 percent of the result and outlines the full syllabus, from land testing, directions and the 45 devtas to astro, aay, flat, symbol and industrial Vastu. The core lesson explains the three forces behind every Vastu rule: sun rays and what they carry at each hour, the magnetic field built by a longer North-South axis, and the gravitational force that demands level and plumb doors, beds, toilet seats, lockers and machines. It closes with student questions on levels, neighbouring buildings and rented homes, and a vow to give up non-vegetarian food.Class43 entries18 Q&A
2. 2Origin and Texts of Vastu, Four Controlling Factors, and the North, North-East and EastThe class traces the origin of Vastu through the Vastu Purush story of Andhakasur and the Jain account of Adi Prabhu teaching shilpa and giving the full Vastu vidya to Vishwakarma, then surveys the classical texts from Samarangana Sutradhara and Vishwakarma Prakash to Raj Vallabh and Shilpa Ratna. It explains the four controlling factors of Vastu, dravya (the money used), kshetra (land), kaal (muhurta) and bhav (the feelings of builder and resident), along with the Vedic origin of the directions and the angular division method. The North, North-East and East are profiled with their lords, planets, gems, symbols, vehicles and Vastu Purush body parts, together with the occasions that require Vastu pooja. A live visit to a factory near Mumbai shows the damage from a transformer moved into the North, a low South-West, a Brahmasthan pit and fly ash bricks, followed by student questions.Class32 entries14 Q&A
3. 3Direction Lords, Land Selection by Surroundings, Slope Types and Plot ShapesThe class completes the direction lords from the South-East to the North-West, with their planets, stones, gifts and the effects of defects, and gives the Geo Vastu definitions of vastu. It sets out the Geo Vastu division of results, in which land energy carries 70 percent, and then lists the surroundings that make a plot unfit: tall buildings or mountains in the North or East, rivers in the South-West, temples, temple shadows, banks, dead ends, cremation grounds, police stations, hospitals, brick kilns, thorny trees and high-tension lines. The slope section explains why land must fall toward the North-East and classifies land by slope pattern and by its raised and low sides (prishth bhoomi and veethi). Finally it defines a plot's shape by its foundation and covers square, rectangular, triangular, circular, pentagonal, hexagonal, trapezoidal, gaumukhi and shermukhi plots and extended or cut corners, followed by a long doubt session.Class42 entries28 Q&A
4. 4Bhoomi Vibhajan into Four Bhoomis, Degree Determination and Zoning BasicsThe class divides any land, plot or flat into four concentric parts, the pishach, manushya, dev and brahm bhoomi, and sets out what may and may not be built or kept in each, from the boundary wall, shilanyas and dhwajarohan to the tijori, beds, documents, stairs, pits and the Brahmasthan. It then explains when to zone the complete plot and when only the constructed area, and how to find the centre of regular and irregular plots. The second half is a practical workshop on finding a building's exact tilt in degrees with a magnetic compass, a map-compass mobile app and the Google Earth ruler, turning the reading into a tilt from the nearest cardinal direction, handling irregular, rotated and vacant-plot maps, and placing the chakra on paper or in AutoCAD.Class22 entries20 Q&A
5. 5Land Energy Testing for Land Selection: Omens, Soil Tests, Pit Water Test and SwarLand energy carries about 70 percent of the weight when selecting a plot, flat or industrial land, more than slope, shape or surroundings. The class taught a large set of tests to read it: nimitta (omens) on the way to and at the site, prashna signs and the prashna chart, the five-element check, physical and chemical soil tests, the pit water movement test, the flag test, havan tests with the 45 Vastu Devtas, fertility tests, and simple flat tests with diyas, pulse and dhoop. Swar vigyan was presented as the greatest method of all: the active nostril and the length and direction of the breath on stepping onto a land reveal its quality and the use it suits. A Q&A covered the limits of the pit test, milk boiling at griha pravesh, small homes, courtyards and relief through land energy when directional defects cannot be fixed.Class39 entries22 Q&A
6. 6Dowsing for Land Energy: Hand Scanning, Coconut, Swastik, Ghat, L-Rod and PendulumLand energy matters more than orientation, and it can be read with the body itself or with simple tools. The class taught built-in and household tests (hand scanning, the coconut toss from the Brahmasthan, the kesar swastik, ghat vidhi with wheat javare and a ghat diya with four coloured wicks), then dowsing in depth: what it is and how it works, who is a natural dowser, how to make and use a copper L-rod, Y-fork, coconut, pendulum, rudraksha, stone, ring and tubelight, and how to measure aura. All dowsing is done in Surya swar with a steady mind, and the tools must be prepared and cleaned properly. A Q&A covered tool details, multi-storey buildings, sinus and swar, an oversleeping family, fire in the South-East and redoing a wrongly laid shilanyas.Class33 entries29 Q&A
7. 7Five Elements in the House, Element Friends and Enemies, and Pad Vinyas GridsThe class opens with a revision of land energy testing (ashtang nimitta, the hand scanner, coconut and dowsing tests) and how to spot negative entities and hungry land, stressing that land energy decides 70 percent of results. It then shows that all energy exists as the five elements, created in the Vedic order Space, Air, Fire, Water, Earth, which the body chakras confirm, and rejects the reversed Feng Shui cycle. Each element is profiled with its shape, colour, zone, nature, planet and dosha, what represents it in a house, and the effects of its balance and imbalance. The friend and enemy relations of the elements are given as the basis for placing colours and artifacts. The class closes with pad vinyas grids from 49 to 1000 padas and shows from Vishwakarma Prakash that houses must use the 81 pad grid, not the 64 pad temple grid, for door placement.Class35 entries15 Q&A
8. 8Zoning a Plan into 16 Zones and 32 Padas, and the Energy of Each ZoneThis class shows how to divide any house, factory, office or flat with the 81 pad grid: 32 outer devta pads of 11.25 degrees each and 16 zones of 22.5 degrees each, set from the measured tilt of the plot with a chakra or protractor, and from a line parallel to the measured wall on irregular plots. It explains which centre to use on large plots, villas and partly built floors. The teacher then describes the energy of each of the 16 zones, from the clarity of the North-East to the health and immunity of the North-North-East, based on the rays of the sun at different hours, the magnetic field and gravitational force, and what each zone suits. A long question session adds remedies such as kilan with copper nails for merged flats, a green or five-element flag in the North-West for a disturbed air element and a silver moon in the North-East, along with timing for nadi shodhan.Class32 entries31 Q&A
9. 17Door Coordination, Door Effects by Pad, Basements, Borings and Water TanksCompletes the main door topic with the four types of coordination between the main door and the boundary gate (utsang, purna bahu, heen bahu, prishth bhang) and the reasons a door on a correct pad can still fail. Lists the results of main doors by pad: Mahalakshmi, debt, accident, theft, disease, insomnia, family discord, child birth, study and foreign travel doors, and the sarvatobhadra, nandavart, vardhaman and swastik door houses. Covers door aay sizing, door construction rules, plumb checking and dwar vedh, then basements and the zone-wise effects of borings, wells and underground, overhead and septic tanks, with the vidhi for closing old wells and borings. Ends with four practices that make a person immune to vastu dosh and a long doubt session.Class47 entries64 Q&A
10. 18Map Marking: Zoning, Bhoomi Vibhajan, Vastu Devtas and Ati Marma PointsA practical map-work class on what is drawn on a plan after the degree is taken. It explains the nine ati marma (most vital) points, how columns, toilets, holes and heavy or dirty items placed on them bring sudden quarrels, losses and long illness, and how herbs, metal kurma and gems are used as remedies. A step-by-step demonstration then covers 16 and 32 zoning, bhoomi vibhajan with the 0.333, 0.555 and 0.777 ratios on regular and irregular plots, marking all 45 Vastu devtas by the angular method, and marking the ati marma by joining six devta-to-devta lines. A long Q&A settles flats, centres of irregular plots, constructed versus whole area, balconies and plot proportions.Class16 entries31 Q&A
11. 1945 Vastu Devtas of the 81-Pada Grid: Mapping Method, Shikhi and ParjanyaIntroduces the 45 Vastu Devtas as the named energies of a plot, from the story of the Vastu Purush to the 81-pada grid used for homes and businesses (64-pada for temples, villages and cities). Teaches a quick manual method to divide any plan into brahma, dev-manushya and pishach bhoomi with the 0.33, 0.55 and 0.77 multipliers, and to mark the 32 outer pads at 11.25 degrees and the inner pads with an 18-54-18 split. Stresses that the devtas are best established at garbh vinyas or shilanyas, with bhog served at their own pads. Then covers Shikhi (E1) and Parjanya (E2) in depth: nature, what they govern, samagri, room rules, defect signs, activation tests, mantras and remedies.Class34 entries43 Q&A
12. 20Vastu Poojan Rules and East Devtas Jayant, Mahendra, Surya, Satya, BhrishaSecond class on the 45 vastu devtas. It explains when vastu poojan should be performed, who is fit to perform it, how bhog samagri is offered from Indra onwards to the 45 devtas and their 4 guardians, and a short formula to build any devta mantra from its name or element. It then profiles the East devtas Jayant (E3), Mahendra (E4), Surya (E5), Satya (E6) and Bhrisha (E7): degrees, 45-minute time slots, metals, symbols, colours, plants, fragrances, body links, room use, signs of imbalance, remedies and activation tests. The Q&A covers businesses linked to devtas, why metal strips fail to block toilets, opposite-devta drishti and how to mark pads on plots and flats.Class46 entries25 Q&A
13. 33Gomti Chakra and Yellow Mustard Remedies, with Buried Bone (Shalya) PurificationThe class opens with a live case of a bone dug out of an industrial plot after dowsing, and explains how buried bones (shalya) are traced and identified, the harm they cause, and the full purification of such land with soil removal, agni sanskar, gomutra, cow dung, lime, sulphur, a 24-hour lamp and mercury. It warns against burying plot corners under heavy masses and misreading tilted directions, and shows how Rahu in the chart decides who can use the South-West. The core of the class presents gomti chakra and yellow mustard (peeli sarson, called Siddhartha) as the two brahmastras of remedial vastu: how to purify and energise them, and dozens of uses for doors, cut corners, health, business, studies, sleep, protection, sales and relationships. A closing Q&A covers labour shortage, coma, separated couples, lockers, door power, landscaping and spirit trouble treated with hing.Class48 entries22 Q&A
