Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Jaya Jaganantha Dear Swee, Hare Krishna I have a few questions regarding plots orientated 45 deg. Ideally, one would want to orientate the house according to the primary Vastu directions, but unfortunately ‘modern’ architects are so ill-informed. Anyway, looking at this property (pic attached) The plot is almost square, and on a slope with the mountain along the East side of the property. The ground is relatively flat except for a slope from NE to SW. The road is also running from NE to SW entrance of the house is from NW. The house is very odd shaped and there is a pool in the South. The Owner has been traveling and is more away than living there – probably NW entrance showing this. The owner would like to sell the house but is struggling and has opted to keep the property but make some improvements based on Vastu principles My initial view on this property is that he should sell the property because of the following reasons - Plot is orientated at 45deg – this is not desirable - East is higher than West – property is sloped this way and there is a Mountain in the East - Building is odd shaped - Pool in South – not the best place for water - Kitchen is in Brahmastan Ive superimposed the 9 squares on the property. Now looking at the house, the NE is open or not existent depends on how one positions the grid. The out building in the SE l-section is an entertainment area with guest quarters. The Kitchen and dining room is in the Brahmastan. The Bedrooms are in the SW – this is ok. The two lounge areas are in the NW section – this also seems ok. I have suggested the following remedies - Installing a spot light in SW corner of property which should shine upwards – this will rectify slope imbalance. - Create a Rock Garden in SW corner of property - Keep the curtains and blinds open in North – this is normally kept closed at all times - Install mirror on NE wall of living Room to ‘open’ up this area - Not sure what remedy for pool in South - Change the Dining Room so as to keep the brahmastan open Could you please also give the technique how to approach house that are orientated 45deg. Do we use the Vastu grid like I did, or should one keep the grid in the direction of the house, but of course with the directions changed accordingly Please guide me if im on the right track and offer some other practical solutions.

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya Dear Bipin, Namaste Suggestions in books are based on the Primary directions, but you will note that there are 8 main directions and 4 others, making up the 12 directions for each sign of the zodiac. Depending on the lagna of the main breadwinner, the front door, from inside looking out is the main bearing one should take. Your diagram is not clear as to which direction the house is facing. The actual aerial photo of the house is not as bad as in the diagram drawn up by you :-)) Mirror is representative of Metal element and the cure for the NE is water. Quick growing trees can be grown in the West and the South. The South section has to be higher than the house and the West has to be higher than the East. This can be resolved by filling in soil to the West area for now until the trees grow. The mountain in the East is not a problem if the property is walled up. Generally, the plot of the house has to be higher than the main road. In the SW, make a rockery. This area has to be higher than the NE. I generally plant a tree around this area. As soon as you’ve given the exact direction as to where the front door is pointing, we can begin on the cures for the house. Would you like to give the lagna of the person and then tell me where the main door should be facing? Also, choose a good muhurta as to when work should begin. What about the drainage? Which direction is the water flowing?

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2006 Report Share Posted October 5, 2006 Jaya Jaganantha Dear Swee Hare Krishna North is indicated on both diagrams. The Main Entrance door is NW (looking out of front door) – see indication The Lagna of the main bread winner is Dhanus, therefore making North or East good for Dhanus Lagna (incidentally, could you please refer me to source of various entrances for Lagnas – I cant find it) I agree that remedy for NE is water, I was referring to the NE wall of living Room completely blocked – no windows, hence placing mirror there – I guess picture of Water would then do the job. Agree – West and South should be higher, but the slope is quite steep in the West (photo is quite deceiving) and not sure how long trees in the West would take to grow - Trees in South is a great possibility. The Property is walled, but the shadow of the mountain is caste on the property in the morning, hence my concern The occupants are away and back at the weekend – will enquire about drainage – ill remember to always consider this. The Owner of the property is more away from home – could this be attributed to NW Entrance??

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Om Gurave Namah Dear Bipin, Hare Krishna If the breadwinner actually lives there, it is different to that of a second home. The cure for the East for now, is lighting. Normal lights and not fluorescent light. - Not a floor lamp. Small spotlights can be suspended over a false valance/ceiling panel. Weight out the costs of the two. If the cost of window is cheaper, then it is the better alternative. A small bowl of water can be placed in the NE corner of the living room. Make sure that it is changed everyday in fact, at the local plant shop, you should be able to purchase a cheap bubble water bowl – it can be quite restful just watching the water “bubble” over the tube back into the bowl. The very steep slope suggests more investment than its worth to build a wooden trellis with high gum poles – the South has to be built up higher than the house itself and some sort of netting suspended across to enable the Thumbergia spp. (common name – mile-o-minute) to almost immediately cover up the 2 areas until the trees grow. Do you remember which planet rules the NW? Look up your notes you got from me the last time we met. Then look up where that planet is placed in his chart – you may also indicate the nakshatra. The reference for the entrances is in your collection of the Garuda Purana. The Vishnu Dharmottara details the entire vastu puja – impressive! (Summer’s here, though I heard it snowed in CT a few days ago...explains the funny weather we are getting over here, blowing from your end :-))!! That’s the aftermath of wars overflowing to your side of the world!) Sunday is my charity Golf day and I think I am due to come over the following w/end. This time I’m making sure I arrive 2 days before, incase I have the same foggy mist yet again.

Guest guest Posted October 6, 2006 Report Share Posted October 6, 2006 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Swee Hare Krishna Im glad you are visiting again - look forward to meeting you soon I already relocated the water feature from other side of house to NE corner. NW is ruled by the Moon and native's Moon is placed in 11H in Chitra. If Lagna is East, then the Moon in this case would be S of SE (11h). Now looking at the property, the outbuilding is situated there. So now how do we use where his Moon went and the Nakshatra. How do we link the NW planet Ruler with the chart and interpret it. This is fundamental in my understanding this, so please share the method of interpretation. Im assuming this is not using SBC. If its not too much trouble, could you please bring along The Vishnu Dharmottara, id love to have a look at it - let me know where I can order one.

Guest guest Posted October 7, 2006 Report Share Posted October 7, 2006 Om Gurave Namah Dear Bipin, Hare Kirshna In the South where the pool is, place a pool cover, ensuring that it overlaps the sides, so that no water is exposed. The idea is to superimpose the 81 squares over the existing living area first. Utilising the sarvatobhadra cakra is a need to identify the placements of benefics and malefics in the chart. The bout the Moon – being on the right side flank of Kurma which presides over the signs from Leo to Scorpio. This is assessed when one has to make a decision as to which part of town one should live and excel from there. That is, if that is the planet we are looking from the view point of the person’s chart. Even the name of the town/suburb and the person’s 1st letter of his name all form a part of the equation. In jyotish, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are denoted by the Southerly direction. The question is, is Moon happy in that sign or is it in enmity? Do the rest as a simple exercise :-) Have you found the page as yet from Garuda Purana? The junctures of the primary directions, East-West; North-South are the intersecting points of His blood vessels. The NW indicates the area of treasury. What we should not overlook, is that the Vastu Purusha moves in a clockwise manner every ritu, so the front door should be in the same direction where its head is placed for the elected time. The energies of the front door say from 28degrees – 2 degrees should be avoided. Say, the 13th Jan – 15th Jan during each sankranti should also be avoided or during the days when each ritu is about to change and so on. The first letter of your question indicates the planet Sun – recognition is the area of concern. So let’s concentrate on this.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Dear Bipin, I want to add a few points on my favorite topic, Vastu. - Plot is orientated at 45deg – this is not desirable [My comments] Yes the strength of the property automatically reduces by 50 percent if the orientation is not to the cardinal directions. However, there are certain ways of rectifying this – one way is to use certain prescribed yantras. - East is higher than West – property is sloped this way and there is a Mountain in the East [My comments] I would give weightage to North East being higher than South West. In regard to the mountain, the vegetation and water bodies if any need to be considered before we say it is bad or good. India has Himalayas in the North East and father, Niranjan Babu Bangalore, recommends it for certain aspects. Just because there is a mountain, we should not un-necessarily worry. - Building is odd shaped [My comments] Irregular buildings, if not built according to modular extension is not recommended in Vastu - Pool in South – not the best place for water [My comments] Look at the resident’s financial status and trends… the above statement can be understood well… - Kitchen is in Brahmastan [My comments] What about the cooking place (stove) and the exhaust location? The 9 squares grid also known as peetha mandala is to identify the balances/imbalances of the bhootas. To understand and measure the energy strength, we need to split the plot using different divisions based on manushyalaya or devalaya. - Installing a spot light in SW corner of property which should shine upwards – this will rectify slope imbalance. [My comments] How will this rectify the slope imbalance? I don’t see any relation with spot-light and flow of energies? - Create a Rock Garden in SW corner of property [My comments] Good idea… Based on the person’s janma rasi and Atma Karaka, it can be South of South West or West of South West. - Keep the curtains and blinds open in North – this is normally kept closed at all times [My comments] Movement of energy is always desirable. - Install mirror on NE wall of living Room to ‘open’ up this area [My comments] Mirrors always have to be handled with care. They can bring in unknown/unwanted troubles resulting in more grief if the measurements and location of the mirror is not proper. - Not sure what remedy for pool in South [My comments] Look at the position of Jupiter and Mars in the persons horoscope. If they are favorable, the primary elements denoted by them have to be activated. Else, other remedies have to be resorted to - Change the Dining Room so as to keep the brahmastan open [My comments] Dining Room in Brahmasthana is Ok Vastu Shastra is the only remedial science which takes care of all imbalances – be it horoscopic or non-horscopic. You can refer to Father’s HandBook on Vastu and Vastu – Relevance to modern times. The above topics are discussed in detail there.

Ideally, one would want to orientate the house according to the primary Vastu directions, but unfortunately ‘modern’ architects are so ill-informed. Anyway, looking at this property (pic attached) The plot is almost square, and on a slope with the mountain along the East side of the property. The ground is relatively flat except for a slope from NE to SW. The road is also running from NE to SW entrance of the house is from NW. The house is very odd shaped and there is a pool in the South. The Owner has been traveling and is more away than living there – probably NW entrance showing this. The owner would like to sell the house but is struggling and has opted to keep the property but make some improvements based on Vastu principles My initial view on this property is that he should sell the property because of the following reasons - Plot is orientated at 45deg – this is not desirable - East is higher than West – property is sloped this way and there is a Mountain in the East - Building is odd shaped - Pool in South – not the best place for water - Kitchen is in Brahmastan Ive superimposed the 9 squares on the property. Now looking at the house, the NE is open or not existent depends on how one positions the grid. The out building in the SE l-section is an entertainment area with guest quarters. The Kitchen and dining room is in the Brahmastan. The Bedrooms are in the SW – this is ok. The two lounge areas are in the NW section – this also seems ok. I have suggested the following remedies - Installing a spot light in SW corner of property which should shine upwards – this will rectify slope imbalance. - Create a Rock Garden in SW corner of property - Keep the curtains and blinds open in North – this is normally kept closed at all times - Install mirror on NE wall of living Room to ‘open’ up this area - Not sure what remedy for pool in South - Change the Dining Room so as to keep the brahmastan open Could you please also give the technique how to approach house that are orientated 45deg. Do we use the Vastu grid like I did, or should one keep the grid in the direction of the house, but of course with the directions changed accordingly Please guide me if im on the right track and offer some other practical solutions.

Guest guest Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Raman Namaste Its great to hear from you again – im hoping that we can have more discussions on Vastu here. I have recently taken a great liking to the subject. Lets engage further on this thread….. points marked with >> >>Rectification of 45 deg plots or houses. Could you please expand on the types of the prescribed Yantras, in what forms are they and how one uses them. I have read about yantras made with conch shells with specific materials in them which are placed opposite each other to ‘block’ off a problem area. >> North East being higher than South West – The position of the Himalayas in the North is interesting and I have often wondered about this. Don’t you think that this has contributed to India being plundered of its wealth by so many invasions. Even today, India’s intellectual capital is being exploited cheaply. Would you please give some more examples when NE is to be preferred to SW ito of height >> Pool in the South – Agree – the native’s primary concern his financial security. >> manushyalaya or devalaya – im a beginner, so please refer me where I can learn more information on this technique >> Use of Mirrors – most writers on the subject recommend the use of mirrors on the North and East walls only. (ref. your dad’s book p103 – are there certain exceptions to using mirrors in North and East) SWEE – if you are reading this – u mentioned earlier that mirrors also invoke the metal element. Having said this, it seems that the only obvious place to use mirrors is in the SW for metals, but this is not desirable. BTW, I did buy all your Dad’s books when I was in India. Have worked through them and picked up some great pointers. I have been searching for books on Vastu remedies and haven’t found any – can you recommend any. In fact you should ask your dad to make this his next book. Thanks again for your replies.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Swee Hare Krishna Is this what you are referring to …. ??In jyotish, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn are denoted by the Southerly direction. The question is, is Moon happy in that sign or is it in enmity? Do the rest as a simple exercise :-) Ca, Sc & Pi are denoted by Northerly direction Ar, Le and Sa are denoted by the Easterly direction Ge, Li & Aq are denoted by Westerly direction Love Bipin On Behalf Of Swee Chan 06 October 2006 06:19 AM Re: [Jaya Jagannatha] RE: Vastu Q - Plot Orientation Om Gurave Namah Dear Bipin, Hare Krishna If the breadwinner actually lives there, it is different to that of a second home. The cure for the East for now, is lighting. Normal lights and not fluorescent light. - Not a floor lamp. Small spotlights can be suspended over a false valance/ceiling panel. Weight out the costs of the two. If the cost of window is cheaper, then it is the better alternative. A small bowl of water can be placed in the NE corner of the living room. Make sure that it is changed everyday in fact, at the local plant shop, you should be able to purchase a cheap bubble water bowl – it can be quite restful just watching the water “bubble” over the tube back into the bowl. The very steep slope suggests more investment than its worth to build a wooden trellis with high gum poles – the South has to be built up higher than the house itself and some sort of netting suspended across to enable the Thumbergia spp. (common name – mile-o-minute) to almost immediately cover up the 2 areas until the trees grow. Do you remember which planet rules the NW? Look up your notes you got from me the last time we met. Then look up where that planet is placed in his chart – you may also indicate the nakshatra. The reference for the entrances is in your collection of the Garuda Purana. The Vishnu Dharmottara details the entire vastu puja – impressive! (Summer’s here, though I heard it snowed in CT a few days ago...explains the funny weather we are getting over here, blowing from your end :-))!! That’s the aftermath of wars overflowing to your side of the world!) Sunday is my charity Golf day and I think I am due to come over the following w/end.

Quick growing trees can be grown in the West and the South. The South section has to be higher than the house and the West has to be higher than the East. This can be resolved by filling in soil to the West area for now until the trees grow. The mountain in the East is not a problem if the property is walled up. Generally, the plot of the house has to be higher than the main road. In the SW, make a rockery. This area has to be higher than the NE. I generally plant a tree around this area. As soon as you’ve given the exact direction as to where the front door is pointing, we can begin on the cures for the house. Would you like to give the lagna of the person and then tell me where the main door should be facing? Also, choose a good muhurta as to when work should begin. What about the drainage? Which direction is the water flowing?

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Dear Swee, You are right, I do have both the versions, thanks to you. Chapter 46 tells about the directions in which different deities are to be worshiped when performing the Puja of Vaastu. But it does not indicate where they should face. This implies that the deities face inwards towards the vaastu Madhya. In the chapter of installation of Idols, again elaborate rituals are given quite clearly but there is no mention of the direction in which the deities would face. The only indication is that the idol should be placed slightly off center and towards north of such center. This does not necessarily mean that it must face North. Lord Hanuman always faces South in the temples. Love, Chandrashekhar. Swee Chan wrote: Om Gurave Namah Dear Bipin, Hare Krishna If you have the sanskrit version – read verse 31 over and over again.

Guest guest Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Dear Swee, The description of deities in certain directions begins quite early in the chapter. They appear in shlokas from 2 to 12. As to the shlokas 30 and 31 of the chapter 46, here it is. 30. He shall sleep on his left side. No hesitation in this matter. For persons born in zodiacal signs of Simha (Leo), Kanya (Virgo) and Tula (Libra) the main door is good if made in the north. 31. For the persons born in Vrishchika etc. the door is in the east, south and west in that order ( three rasis for each direction). The door shall have two units in length and one unit in width. There must be at least eight doors in the house. By the way, Mr. Joshi of Parimal sent me the contract which I returned duly signed. Love, Chandrashekhar.

Chapter 46 tells about the directions in which different deities are to be worshiped when performing the Puja of Vaastu. But it does not indicate where they should face. This implies that the deities face inwards towards the vaastu Madhya. In the chapter of installation of Idols, again elaborate rituals are given quite clearly but there is no mention of the direction in which the deities would face. The only indication is that the idol should be placed slightly off center and towards north of such center. This does not necessarily mean that it must face North. Lord Hanuman always faces South in the temples. Love, Chandrashekhar. Swee Chan wrote: Om Gurave Namah Dear Bipin, Hare Krishna If you have the sanskrit version – read verse 31 over and over again.

The cure for the East for now, is lighting. Normal lights and not fluorescent light. - Not a floor lamp. Small spotlights can be suspended over a false valance/ceiling panel. Weight out the costs of the two. If the cost of window is cheaper, then it is the better alternative. A small bowl of water can be placed in the NE corner of the living room. Make sure that it is changed everyday in fact, at the local plant shop, you should be able to purchase a cheap bubble water bowl – it can be quite restful just watching the water “bubble” over the tube back into the bowl. The very steep slope suggests more investment than its worth to build a wooden trellis with high gum poles – the South has to be built up higher than the house itself and some sort of netting suspended across to enable the Thumbergia spp. (common name – mile-o-minute) to almost immediately cover up the 2 areas until the trees grow. Do you remember which planet rules the NW? Look up your notes you got from me the last time we met. Then look up where that planet is placed in his chart – you may also indicate the nakshatra. The reference for the entrances is in your collection of the Garuda Purana. The Vishnu Dharmottara details the entire vastu puja – impressive!

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Dear Swee, You are absolutely right. There is no thumb rule as such and the directions vary from individual to individual. You are also right about the change of head of Vaastu Purusha. One will also have to factor in whether one is in northern or southern hemisphere when considering Vaastu parameters. You are also right about the wood to be used and the Nakshatra connection with the door. So also Lagna Muhurta. I know you understand that.

Guest guest Posted November 3, 2006 Report Share Posted November 3, 2006 Dear Swee, I am sorry for the delay in reply. Part of the reason was my reluctance to speak plain on Vaastu in open forum as my opinion may raise the hackles of die hard Vaastu fans. I am sure you understand. The reason that Vaastu in northern and Southern hemisphere will have to be viewed in different manner is pretty simple, if we understand that Vaastu is part of Jyotish and Samhitas give much information on them. Primarily, in my personal view, the treatment of Vaastu is from the point of view of sound architectural principles based on the flow of air, hot and cold area etc related to different directions. I know that for die hard Vaastu aficionados this may sound strange but this is the conclusion a person can draw when one reads through the vast literature on Vaastu that is available in Samhitas and other texts like Vasturaj Vallabh etc. Even the directions Vaayavya, Ishaanya, Aagneya and Nairutya relate to movement of Air, Cold province hot area etc. However leaving this controversial part, it is necessary to understand that in the Northern hemisphere Sun rises to the East, moves in southernly direction and sets in the West where as in Southern hemisphere it rises in the east moves in northerly direction and sets in the west. So the way sun rays will fall in a place at a particular time of the day will differ and hence the direction of a door. So to satisfy the condition that a Temple, monastery or house in which the rays of Sun and air do not enter in the first part of the day is not auspicious, it is obvious that the direction of the doors will have to be different in Northern and Southern Hemisphere. same for the injunction about shadow of a house falling on the well in 2nd and 3rd part of the day being inauspicious. In both cases the door and well will have to be located in different direction in the two hemisphere. If you want the original shlokas indicating this, kindly let me know.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Jaya Jaganantha Dear Chandrashekhar Namaste Thanks for your reply in providing some perspective. What you say makes logical sense about the Sun's rays transversing a house being different in the two hemispheres. My further question is, does prana also flow in opposite directions and further does the Vastu Purusha then also move in opposite directions. Should this be the case, then am I correct in saying that in the Southern Hemisphere, the Kitchen should be in the North East and Pooja Room in the South East as examples to clarify this point of view.

So the way sun rays will fall in a place at a particular time of the day will differ and hence the direction of a door. So to satisfy the condition that a Temple, monastery or house in which the rays of Sun and air do not enter in the first part of the day is not auspicious, it is obvious that the direction of the doors will have to be different in Northern and Southern Hemisphere. same for the injunction about shadow of a house falling on the well in 2nd and 3rd part of the day being inauspicious.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Jaya Jagannatha Dear Bipin, Hare Krishna There is ONLY ONE purusha and the Sun still rises in the East and sets in the West and the Moon is dependant of the Sun’s rays. So the flow of water flows out differently and the magnetic flow of the Earth goes from the South to the North. The Northern hemisphere is the Uttara ayana of the Sun where more “superior” nakshatras preside or so we think. But according to sanjay ji’s lesson, it is evident that the energy flows in a biorhythmic wave.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Dear Bipin, I am glad you understand my views. Vasturaj Vallabha has made this fact clear. As to your next question, the answer has to be based more on common sense than the texts. The texts say that Vastu Purusha was thrown downwards by the Devas and the body part that was held by a certain Deva is related to that Deva. If we want to take this statement literally, then we can not even apply what is said at other parts of the text. However if you, like me, think that the sages did not even name anything in vain then one must think why the southeast is called Agneya, if it does not indicate high degree of heat in that direction. if we accept my contention then it follows that the South east in southern hemisphere would not be related to the hottest part and there fore the indications of Agneya disha (direction) must necessarily shift to diagonally opposite direction. I generally do not like to comment on these matters as plain speaking raises many a hackles. So I suggest everybody should use his common sense and experience in real life situation to understand his/her own truth of the complex Vedic sciences. Take care, Chandrashekhar.

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Jaya Jaganantha Jay Chandracheckharji Namaste I have had time to think about all of this. I dont have a reference for this, except as an excerpt from a book. We know that the Vastu Purusha moves according to three different conditions: Sthira Vastu - where the head is permanently established toward the NE Chara Vastu - where the head changes position every 3 months, and Nitya Vastu - where the head changes every 3 hours My simple understanding in selecting the door is that there are many exalted positions in all the 4 directions that are acceptable. The Puranas do mention to select the front door according to the Ascendant of the native. These together with the chart of the house, can guide us with options for selecting the main entrance. Im not really following your reasoning as to how the shadow of the Sun supercedes the selection of the front door over the above, other than if one had a choice then Sun's rays is another consideration amongst many. We have all these various considerations for selecting the front door. What I want to know is what is the first and most important consideration and logically there must be the others to follow. So far, selecting the door based on Ascendant as per Puranas is preferred over the others. The other dilemma I have is that how can we consider the Sun's rays, magnetic flow vs considering the direction that prana flows, surely these energies are not the same. Am I correct in saying that Prana is Spiritual energy and Sun's rays (often we use the Ultra-Violet) and magnetic flow is material energy or is it incorrect to mix the two paradigms Thanks again for engaging in this discussion and enlightening us Best Wishes Bipin On 11/10/06, Chandrashekhar <sharma.chandrashekhar > wrote: Dear Bipin,I am glad you understand my views.
