At griha pravesh, the earthen kalash brought from the temple and carried in through the door is set on wheat in the North-East corner of the kitchen; the wheat sprouts from the kalash's moisture and shows the energy of the new home.
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.
The kalpavriksha (wish-fulfilling tree) of the bhog bhoomi age fulfilled every wish; a kalpavriksha painting hung in the West lets a person stand before it and have desires fulfilled. It represents the air element.
A picture of a Kapila or Swarna Kapila cow brings welfare and good business relations, as Kamdhenu gives nourishment; the panchgavya of a Swarna Kapila cow spread on land makes even dead land energetic.
Main doors on N8, N7, W3, W6 and S6 are karz (debt) doors: however much is borrowed, the family or factory stays in debt and cannot repay it.
Every direction and every artifact represents an element, so an artifact, picture or scenery should sit with its friend element. Placed beside an enemy element it causes unrest at home and losses in business.
Every house, however small, carries the Vastu Purush's eyes, nose, ears, hands, feet, heart, navel and other parts, including the marma and ati-marma (vital) points. A column, pit or stud on these points harms the occupants, just as a speck of dust in the eye or an injury to a vital organ harms the body.
A house that needs more money, respect and status should burn fire in the South-East; the more fire burns there, the more the money grows.
The third principle of interior vastu: furniture, tables, the tijori (safe), artefacts and idols must sit perfectly level and in proper alignment so that gravitational force acts on them correctly.
Medicines kept in the NNE are charged by the healing rays of that zone; the North, NE, ENE and West also work, but never a cupboard or drawer that faces South.
A bed that is not level leaves the sleeper with bad dreams (duswapna) and frequent illness, because the gravitational force does not act correctly on it.
The three zones from North-East to East receive pure energy that must collect and stay, so they are kept low, open to the sky and free of dirt, toilets, high walls and heavy objects, with a part left unpaved (kachcha) for a garden or lawn.
The South-West holds the earth element, whose nature is solid, heavy and dense, so this zone is kept solid, heavy and compact with the fewest openings. Infrared rays also arrive from the South-West at a particular time of day, another reason to keep it closed.
A set of swastik designs drawn with kesar for specific problems: low energy, bad energy, blocked energy, protecting energy, attracting energy, removing negative energy, gaining energy, fear and a wrongly placed kitchen.
Five gomti chakra, or a number matching your mulank, each marked with a kesar swastik, are kept in the tijori. In a locker, at least 25 g of yellow mustard can be kept along with at least five or seven gomti chakra.
When there is too much lying in the house, draw a kesar swastik on a banyan leaf in an auspicious muhurta during chandra swar and place it at the Satya devta pad.
A swastik drawn with kesar on a whitewashed surface stays bright for 24 to 48 hours where the energy is good; if it fades or vanishes, the energy is disturbed or an outside negative influence (bahari hawa) is present.
When two flats are merged and the toilet falls at the new centre, do kilan separately for each flat: four copper nails at the corners of one flat and four at the corners of the other, so that the energy current moves along each set of nails and the two flats work as separate units.
The kitchen is the most important part of the house because the food made there shapes the mind, thoughts and blood of everyone; its old name chauka means a place of four purities.
Choose the platform colour by the kitchen's zone and use ivory with orange for the floor and ivory with pista green for the walls and cabinets; the correct platform colour alone removes about 25 percent of a wrongly placed kitchen's dosh.
Rules to avoid in kitchen design: no south-facing door, no doorless or open kitchen, no central platform, no mirrors or water artifacts, no toilet on any of its six sides and no well, borewell or tank above or below.
The kitchen is the fire element ruled by Mars. It is best in SE, then SSE, then West and NW; SW, NE and North are dangerous, and every other zone gives its own result.
Make the platform L-shaped or I-shaped, never U-shaped, and keep the burner on stone; ceramic tile is very good, synthetic quartz, marble and steel are acceptable, while laminate, wood and black stone are not.
Kota stone (about 40 percent lime and 22 percent silica) is cool and full of good energy; it represents Mercury and is the best stone for stairs and business floors, especially in green.
A person who falls ill often should use the colour of the lord of the lagna (1st house) in clothes and surroundings.
When selecting a plot, flat or industrial land, the energy of the land itself decides about 70 percent of the result, more than slope, shape or surrounding structures. A building made fully as per directional vastu can still fail on land with bad energy.
The word Vastu comes from the Sanskrit vas, the land of residence, so the condition of the land is judged before any direction. Land energy decides about 70 percent of the result.
Land (geopathic) energy, which is the earth element, carries 70 percent of the result of a building, while orientation and zoning carry 30 percent. A site with zero land energy fails however good its orientation and interiors are.
Where a brick kiln has run for a long time, the chemistry of the soil is destroyed and its elements turn to ash. Such land should not be taken for any project even free; treatments exist for those who already own it.
For an auspicious journey or an important meeting, leave the house and first move the vehicle clockwise, even if the road later turns the other way.
