If the colour of a small area in the earth element zone is changed, or an imbalancing item is kept there, does it affect the whole house?
Yes, it affects the whole house. Just as dirt in one room spreads its smell through the air to the other rooms, an imbalance in one zone spreads to the entire house.
If a person sits in the South-East for long periods, will their nature change?
Yes. Sitting a lot in the South-East, the fire zone, increases aggressiveness and irritation.
Is it true that one should not sleep near electric switches?
Yes. The more electromagnetic current there is near you, the more it affects the nadis, the body and blood circulation, so keep the bed well away from switch boards. The minimum distance is transcribed as 35 feet, which may be 3 to 5 feet; check the class recording.
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.
Why did the Chandel kings carve nude scenes on the Khajuraho temples?
To change the mind (chitt) through images (chitra), even the minds of the devtas. Agni is regarded as a virgin goddess who feels shy on seeing such scenes, so lightning has never struck these temples, and the pleasure-loving Indra, lord of rain, is pleased and gives Khajuraho good rain; tribal women still plough naked under the moonlight when rain fails. The kings also wanted their heirs not to become ascetics.
Why has not a single stone of the Khajuraho temples moved in over a thousand years?
No cement or adhesive was used: male stones were joined into female stones, an example of the physical property of materials. The temples were also oriented so that the sun's rays fall first at the deity's feet and, as the sun reaches the South-East, at another deity's feet.
Why do CAs and accountants use green ink?
Green represents Budh (Mercury), and finance and accounts belong to Mercury. Using the colour of the planet that rules the work strengthens it; even clothes and pen ink act as interior vastu, which is also why lawyers choose black.
Why do doctors wear green or blue aprons, and why do hospitals use green?
To keep Budh (Mercury), the planet of intellect, alert: if the mind or concentration slips during an operation, everything goes wrong. Green also nullifies infrared rays and bad energies, so hospitals mostly use green, pista, white and blue.
Why do some homes and businesses decline right after an expensive interior?
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.
Is interior done only for beauty and maximum use of space?
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.
A client has an exalted Saturn and a debilitated Venus. Can the bedroom be made in the West?
Yes, it will be very good. With an exalted Saturn, make the bedroom in the West without hesitation; WSW or even SW can also be used, but when Saturn is exalted the West gives the best results.
You explained which vitamins and minerals the Sun gives in different zones. Will we learn which disease comes from which zone-wise deficiency?
Yes. Health is taught in detail in the diploma, including which zone supplies which vitamin and mineral. Nature gives these through the zones, but we fail to recognise them.
Which element does the blue colour represent?
As a planet colour, blue belongs to Shani (Saturn); as an element, it represents the water element.
What does floor-to-slab height on the slide mean?
It is the height from the floor up to the ceiling (slab) of the room.
Besides exaltation, debilitation and degree, how do we judge whether a planet is good or bad, for example in the 6th or 8th house?
The 6th and 8th house rule has not been given yet. The full rules will be taught later using example kundalis of five students. For now judge by exaltation and debilitation; not every 8th-house placement is bad.
In my building the flat entrance faces an electric shaft just before the lift, the same on all 25 floors. What should be done?
Remedies for a lift or shaft in the wrong place are taught in the diploma. The same lift falls in a different zone for each flat, in the NE for some and the NW for others, so the remedy depends on the zone it falls in.
If the ideal placement of a room is not possible, is there an alternative?
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.
The entrance is between North and East and outside footwear brings outside energy. Where should the shoe rack go?
For a north-facing entrance, make the shoe rack toward the North-West; for an east-facing entrance, toward the East-South-East. If neither is possible, put muscovite (abhrak) under the rack wherever it stands and make it of wood, not metal, because bacteria run on metal, as corona showed.
There are many photos at home of ancestors, gods and family, plus statues. Where and how should they be placed?
All of them, photos of ancestors, gods and family and statues of deities, will be taught in detail later, including where each goes and which way it should face. Even the wider world is confused about which way ancestors' photos should face.
My Moon is in the 11th rashi, Kumbh (Aquarius). Is my element air?
Yes. Your rashi is Kumbh and your element is air.
If the Moon is debilitated, is a North-West entrance bad?
Yes, not just bad but very bad; the North-West entrance will have to be closed.
Which planet is behind a South-South-West entrance?
If Rahu is bad, you will automatically get an SSW entrance. It has to be closed.
Does the tijori zone also apply inside a room, and which way should the tijori face?
Keep the tijori in the zone given for it and make it face North. A room in the SW, say 12 by 15 feet, is entirely SW, not only its corner; it has four walls, so keep the tijori against the South wall and it will face North.
The waste water of the whole house goes out from the North. Does that have an effect?
If it goes out deep underground there is no bad effect. If it runs about 9 inches below the surface, the effect is very large. At about one and a half feet deep there is no bad effect.
Can wardrobe doors go from floor to ceiling?
No. Doors taken up to the ceiling start touching the space element, which is not good.
