Questions and Answers

Yes. Asan wood is cheap, unlike sandalwood, and a whole bed can be made from it. If you have to sleep in a wrong zone, put asan wood under all four legs of the bed.

No. A Moon-Saturn conjunction is not good, so do not put up a Moon photo in that case.

While it is still small, offer it one almond or one fruit and request: O tree deity, this place is not suitable for you, I want to take you elsewhere. Pour cow urine at its roots, take it out with the roots, carry it with the fruit and plant it in a forest. Make a protective shield (suraksha kavach) for yourself first.

Yes. They mostly carry natural quartz of different colours, and they are far better than plastic decor, so they can be kept as showpieces in the interior.

Yes. Plants are the most sensitive testers and signal earthquakes and accidents in a house in advance. White hibiscus and tulsi react at once to negativity, and a failing peace lily shows negativity in the house. Remove the negativity and the peace lily will start growing by itself.

Follow the direction the planet rules: if the Sun is exalted, select the East even though it sits in the West of the chart. Also see where most benefic planets sit; two, three or even four directions can be favourable for one person.

A small piece of 3 or 5 inches is enough.

Some part of the house will have an open North; plant there. Small pots can also be kept up in the North; there is no problem.

The house it falls in matters: a Gajkesari yoga in the 8th or 12th house does not give results and in the 6th it gives less. To make it fruitful, create the Gajkesari combination in the home through the interior, such as a water-filled kalash and white flowers in the North-East.

No, they were not prescribed for the toilet and there is no need to keep them there.

Yes. A debilitated karmesh does not support you, so avoid its colour in the business and the logo, and take the colour of the 11th lord (labhesh) instead.

No, do not keep it and do not take on the trouble. Strengthen the West instead; its power reaches the East on its own.

Only one tall tree is allowed in the North-East, the coconut, which draws cosmic energy from above and passes it down. No other tall tree should stand there. If one already exists and cannot be cut, plant energy-capturing plants such as tulsi in the North and plant tulsi all around the tree.

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.

It shows disturbed karma from a past life, and the chart is a graph of karma, so do good deeds now. Strengthen Jupiter, the most powerful planet, through dharma, spirituality, devotion, mantra jaap and sadhana, and keep a kalash in the North-East; the enemy planets slowly start turning friendly.

Yes, citrine and blue quartz can be kept to increase footfall.

No; why invite spirits? One person planted two shami trees in the West of his home believing it would help, faced three to four months of trouble and returned them to the gardener. Shami should not be grown at home.

Varahamihira wrote it in his work on trees; no one other than Varahamihira has contributed this knowledge of trees.

Gajkesari yoga forms when the Moon and Jupiter are together or opposite each other, but with a debilitated Moon its prosperity does not fully arrive, like a child born in a wealthy home who still does not progress much.

Certainly. Drop the idea that there should be no greenery in the North-West or South-West; gardens and resorts everywhere have greenery on all sides. A vastu expert should never get a tree cut, because its dosh falls on him; plant auspicious trees near it instead.

Rahu-Ketu belong to the South-West, and the diagonal from there is the North-East. Put a mirror at the cut, or install a kalash in the North-East and fix mirrors all around the kalash.

If it is in a pot inside the house, give it away to a garden.

It is not recommended. Feng shui promoted it heavily, but bamboo is not an auspicious tree; its wood is what carries the dead. Feng shui also had the swastik printed on doormats, so that a symbol equal to God gets trampled by footwear.

Yes, tulsi can be kept inside if it gets proper air and light. If it dries again and again, the house has negativity; light a cow-ghee diya near it. Tulsi is said to produce the most oxygen, and a ghee lamp beside it to generate so much oxygen that the pair could serve like an oxygen cylinder in an emergency.

The ishaan (North-East) should be correct, along with the North and the East.
