Namaste

East governs Prosperity , Wisdom , Male issues.

East or the 1st. house of the kalpurush is ruled by Mars and exhaltation of Sun

In a kalpurush kundali, Sun is the lord of the fifth and gets exhalted in the first.

East governs the human head and brain. Being the lord of the fifth it rules the heart / mental activities / male children / love affairs – sun rules the functioning of the heart / Eyes / hair / bones / stomach and is a great source of Cosmic energy.

Since the East is closed or there are no openings there could be problems like

Ø Functioning of Heart and Brain becomes weak

Ø Baldness

Ø Headache

Ø Decreased vision

Ø Jaundice

Ø Piles

Ø Stomach ulcers

Ø Weakening of bones

Ø Possibility of genetic diseases in children

Ø Sun being the signification of government, problems may arise from political side.

When you examin the horoscope of the owner of the house / vastu ; East closed is indicated by :

The Lord of the Ascendant or the Ascendant is damaged.

1. Saturn in Ascendant and in fall sign

2. 4TH. House occupied by Saturn or Rahu in the Rahu.

3. Lord of the Ascendant in the 12th. House

4. Lord of the Ascendant aspect by 2 malefic

5. Lord of the Ascendant in the fall sign

6 Sun in fall sign

a. Sun in Libra – sign of debilitation

b. Conjucts with a malefic like Rahu / Ketu / Saturn / Mars

c. In the sign of a malefic / inimacial sign – Capricorn / Aquarius / Taurus / Libra

d. In the house of a Trik - House nos. 6/8/12

since East is ruled by Mars and exhaltation of Sun ; when you sleep with your head in east one becomes creative and also advances in the line of spirituality. The problem is that one tends to wake up early. The forehead of such a person is many times high

With warm regards,

Jaydeep Kumbhani

Om Namo Bhagavate ParamguraveDear ShivNamasteThe application of Vastu entails the proper appeasement of the Vastu Purusha as per guidelines in the various sacred texts. This requires a number of considerations, but the understanding and objective is to balance the elements, unblock any prana that is not flowing and to try and synchronise with the natural universal energy flow in the home so that we attract peace and harmony of Mind, Body and Soul.As described by Jaydeep and Swee, all the various energies are superimposed over each other over the property. As pointed out by Swee, Vastu operates in a 3-dimensional form, so length, breath and height is equally important. Amongst other factors, correct room placement within the dwelling is also important, so where you sleep and how you sleep is also important. To answer your question... The body has its own a magnetic field with North at the head and South at the feet. We know from basic magnetism that like poles repel and opposite poles attract.Sleeping with ones head to the North direction causes undue stress on the body as the North polarity of the Earth will repel that of the head resulting in disturbed sleep and health. Sleeping in the East Direction is beneficial for spiritual advancement and learning, whilst West is indicated as neutral. Im not sure if Swee has any reference from the texts where direction for sleeping has been discussed, but I recall one Vastu Pandit once mentioned that Sage Markandeya who was able to conquer death, is said to have stated that a person acquires strength and longevity by placing his head in the South. There is also one pastime when the initial body of Lord Ganesha was headless, it was summoned that the head of any creature sleeping with its head to the North should be brought for placing on Lord Ganesha, so im not sure if this is related and if this is one of the reasons why sleeping with the head in the north is not considered auspicious. I agree wth Jaydeep that the type of house you get is based on your punya as indicated in the chart. Taking the analogy he used further, I bought a modest house that was not perfect according to Vastu. Although it had a South entrance suited to my Lagna, the East was completely blocked. Over time I was able to effect an alteration to the house, so when my situation changed, the timing I guess through dasha change, I was able to effect most of the changes according Vastu without major structural changes by changing the entrance from South to East. This immediately had the effect of dramatically improving the energy flow of the home. So, the super structure stayed the same but by exerting my free will, I was able to change my immediate enviroment for the better.I look forward to further insight on this to learn more on the subject.Best WishesBipin

Dear Jaydeep and Shiv,

Namaste

The original vaastu shilpa is the art of sculpturing deities is explained by Pippalada to his sishyas, of which the original sutras were recovered from Puri. The sutras outlines the six branches of the fundamental principles of the types of materials (shailas/stone - granite, marble, petrified wood/agate or the agatised fossil used for the Garuda Stambha in Puri) to be selected which are further divided into sub categories;

the number of arms are articulated according to the deity's energy by the number of arms and the weapons they hold together with their respective insignia. The energy is first invoked by for the sculptor for that purpose etc. Hence, knowledge of art in the figurines, yantra and mantra are some of the essential points. Stabhas or stupas are similarly marked out in the same manner in the expanded meanings from Vishnu Dharmottara.

In the query put forward by Vajra to Markandeya, he espouses that the making of images and inducting deities into them, the building of temples and worship, fine arts as in architecture, painting, music, dance, drama, poetry are all part and parcel of the principle of rasa. In other words, the concept of rasa pervades all art forms.

The human's desire is fulfilled with the image worship of (the inducted) Padmanaabha for one wishing for a son or one wanting dhaanya should worship (inducted) Matsya etc. Sanjay ji also agrees that when prana pratishta has been offered to an item that the person holds dear, we are also to understand that that item (as in a stone/gemstone), it is as good as wearing a kavaca, for the presence of that deity will guard your aura. Placements of such items do not necessarily be fixed in the NE, generally relegated to the place of worship. Say in your chart, a malefic Rahu is in the SW of a nativity, placement of petrified wood in this sector of the house or living room (I personally prefer to activate or subdue energies around the living room area) should quell the malfeasance created by Rahu. This is my understanding from the statement from Jataka Parijata that the Sun (as in Garuda) has the power to overcome evils caused by Rahu.

In His feat over Andhaka, Mahadeva's sweat fell on earth and the droplet became the vaastu purusha whose insatiable appetite threatened to devour even the do-gooders like the suras and whichever part of the purusha's body is pinned down by these demi gods within the four corners of the earth, became the deities that one offers oblations to in vaastu puja. I understand that during caturmasa when Vishnu is in yoganidra, the vaastu purusha is "let loose" and perhaps not a good time to do renovations, build your front door (wooden door) etc. This idea seems to be supported in the skanda purana.

Dear Shiv,

Namaste

I am also waiting for Bipin to give you the answer to your query.

love,

Swee

Namaste Sirji, Vastu is not only related to Astrology and Ayurveda but also to music and yoga. Astrologically the vastu can be explained as underthe shape of the house with its cuts and extension is like your natural horoscope with which we are born - that which cannot be changed.The cuts and the extensions to directions create cut and extension to the 12 houses of the natural horoscope. According to this effect on a perticular house, the occupants get experience in life It is said that 'Prarabdha - Purushartha - Vastu'. We cannot change our desitiny but we can change / alter the vastu in which we live / reside and hence it can be said the vastu is a means by which we can travel to reach our destiny. Hence a good vastu helps you to reach your destiny with ease and comfort faster and in better condition With warm regards,Jaydeep Kumbhani

Om Namo Bhagavate ParamguraveDear ShivNamasteWe know from our Vedic understanding that our soul incarnates in this lifetime into a body as a result of our accumulated past karmas of which the Natal chart is the manifestation hereof. So to optimise our well being, a healthy diet, practice of Yoga or Tai Chi and a satvic way of life is very important, hence the guidelines from the practice of Ayurveda nourish the Mind and Body. This Soul in the Body has to occupy some cosmic space, so the importance of adherence to Vastu guidlines is also important to limit any additional stress which we all know is quite rife nowadays.One of the few thngs at our disposal where we can our exert our free will, is to change our immediate environment, so Vastu remedies also have to be looked at for behaviour patterns for hyperactivity and inactivity. Granted, that its difficult to observe perfect Vastu guidelines for the 'average city dweller', but the idea is to minimise the Vastu defects as far as possible. If you consider a third of ones life is spent sleeping when the body uses its restful state to rejuvinate and heal itself naturally, sleeping in the correct direction is very very important. Generally, it is recommended for one to sleep with one's head facing South with a few exceptions. So Jyotish, Ayurveda and Vastu all has to be be considered to bring peace to the Mind, Body and Soul. They are inseperable, each with their own diagnostic tools but at the same time working in perfect harmony.Best WishesBipin

Dear Shiv,

Namaste

Offering mantras during brhama muhurta naturally energises the body. Hence, early to bed deters malefics to overcome the body (kendras) and keeps them at bay and it is not jsyt the early bird that catches the worm, one naturally feels energised.

Optimism is caused by one's birth in a week day that is friendly with the Sun. You'll find that a person born on a Sunday morning is naturally optimistic if the Sun is well placed in the chart.

Birth that takes place during the different months all have spiritual energies related to the different Adityas. Taking mine as an example, I have the Sun in Meena and this relates to Vshnu Aditya. In my chart, it is in the 11th, hence a blend of energies with Tvastri Aditya is altered in the Ajna cakra. Since the Sun is weak in avastha and in vaiseshikamsa the practice of mauna for an hour everyday can help in the "porcupine chi" tendency. This is known as such because one's thoughts may become haphazard that presents itself in a vocal Freudian slip.

Light exercises are recommended. Tai Chi especially, as the masters are given beejas to mentally chant, tongue on the roof of the palate and meditate on the beejas whilst practising the moves. Avoid onions, sugary drinks etc. Eat wholesome foods. Fresh coriander or using raddish periodically can be a good thing as pungent foods is presided over by the Sun. Brisk walk, do not run. No heavy weights as taut muscles means a taut mind. Swimming is always good. Light exercises promote a better hormonal balance. Unlike heavy weight exercises and chocolate and its artificially induced amphetamine (both do that), and the chemical form is being recommended for this child.

A good brain food is the walnut.

As for motivation and drive, I know that my Guru chants most of the day (in isolation, in a room by himself) and yet, he is motivated to observe all fasts and still does his parikrama of the govadharn hill twice a month despite his age. When the mind is awake - full Moon, in jagrit avastha, there's no stopping the person is there? You may think he/she is lethargic when in fact they've been to the Sun and Moon and back several times in a day ) so there's no secret to an early wake up call, which promotes the sattvic planets in your chart and take your life to the pinnacle of longevity.

Om Namo Bhagavate Param GuraveDear JaydeepNamasteTo confirm your statement, I have Aquarius Lagna with LL Ra in 4H, so East was blocked in the house prior to the renovation. Further, I have Ve in Lagna and Mo also in Ta, so I 'gained' a correct entrance according to my chart based on the parivartana of Ve and Ra during the dasha change of Ju-Mo when I did the renovation. Could it be explained in this way

Thanks for engaging in the Vastu discussions - much appreciatedBest WishesBipin On 16/05/2008, jaydeep kumbhani <jaydeepkumbhani786 wrote:

Namaste

East governs Prosperity , Wisdom , Male issues.

East or the 1st. house of the kalpurush is ruled by Mars and exhaltation of Sun

In a kalpurush kundali, Sun is the lord of the fifth and gets exhalted in the first.

East governs the human head and brain. Being the lord of the fifth it rules the heart / mental activities / male children / love affairs – sun rules the functioning of the heart / Eyes / hair / bones / stomach and is a great source of Cosmic energy.

Since the East is closed or there are no openings there could be problems like

Ø Functioning of Heart and Brain becomes weak

Ø Baldness

Ø Headache

Ø Decreased vision

Ø Jaundice

Ø Piles

Ø Stomach ulcers

Ø Weakening of bones

Ø Possibility of genetic diseases in children

Ø Sun being the signification of government, problems may arise from political side.

When you examin the horoscope of the owner of the house / vastu ; East closed is indicated by :

The Lord of the Ascendant or the Ascendant is damaged.

1. Saturn in Ascendant and in fall sign

2. 4TH. House occupied by Saturn or Rahu in the Rahu.

3. Lord of the Ascendant in the 12th. House

4. Lord of the Ascendant aspect by 2 malefic

5. Lord of the Ascendant in the fall sign

6 Sun in fall sign

a. Sun in Libra – sign of debilitation

b. Conjucts with a malefic like Rahu / Ketu / Saturn / Mars

c. In the sign of a malefic / inimacial sign – Capricorn / Aquarius / Taurus / Libra

d. In the house of a Trik - House nos. 6/8/12

since East is ruled by Mars and exhaltation of Sun ; when you sleep with your head in east one becomes creative and also advances in the line of spirituality. The problem is that one tends to wake up early. The forehead of such a person is many times high

Om Namo Bhagavate ParamguraveDear ShivNamasteThe application of Vastu entails the proper appeasement of the Vastu Purusha as per guidelines in the various sacred texts. This requires a number of considerations, but the understanding and objective is to balance the elements, unblock any prana that is not flowing and to try and synchronise with the natural universal energy flow in the home so that we attract peace and harmony of Mind, Body and Soul.

As described by Jaydeep and Swee, all the various energies are superimposed over each other over the property. As pointed out by Swee, Vastu operates in a 3-dimensional form, so length, breath and height is equally important.

Amongst other factors, correct room placement within the dwelling is also important, so where you sleep and how you sleep is also important. To answer your question... The body has its own a magnetic field with North at the head and South at the feet. We know from basic magnetism that like poles repel and opposite poles attract.

Sleeping with ones head to the North direction causes undue stress on the body as the North polarity of the Earth will repel that of the head resulting in disturbed sleep and health. Sleeping in the East Direction is beneficial for spiritual advancement and learning, whilst West is indicated as neutral.

Im not sure if Swee has any reference from the texts where direction for sleeping has been discussed, but I recall one Vastu Pandit once mentioned that Sage Markandeya who was able to conquer death, is said to have stated that a person acquires strength and longevity by placing his head in the South.

There is also one pastime when the initial body of Lord Ganesha was headless, it was summoned that the head of any creature sleeping with its head to the North should be brought for placing on Lord Ganesha, so im not sure if this is related and if this is one of the reasons why sleeping with the head in the north is not considered auspicious.

I agree wth Jaydeep that the type of house you get is based on your punya as indicated in the chart. Taking the analogy he used further, I bought a modest house that was not perfect according to Vastu. Although it had a South entrance suited to my Lagna, the East was completely blocked. Over time I was able to effect an alteration to the house, so when my situation changed, the timing I guess through dasha change, I was able to effect most of the changes according Vastu without major structural changes by changing the entrance from South to East. This immediately had the effect of dramatically improving the energy flow of the home. So, the super structure stayed the same but by exerting my free will, I was able to change my immediate enviroment for the better.

I look forward to further insight on this to learn more on the subject.Best WishesBipin On 16/05/2008, Swee Chan <swee wrote:

Jaya Jagannatha Dear Jaydeep and Shiv,

NamasteThe original vaastu shilpa is the art of sculpturing deities is explained by Pippalada to his sishyas, of which the original sutras were recovered from Puri. The sutras outlines the six branches of the fundamental principles of the types of materials (shailas/stone - granite, marble, petrified wood/agate or the agatised fossil used for the Garuda Stambha in Puri) to be selected which are further divided into sub categories;

the number of arms are articulated according to the deity's energy by the number of arms and the weapons they hold together with their respective insignia. The energy is first invoked by for the sculptor for that purpose etc. Hence, knowledge of art in the figurines, yantra and mantra are some of the essential points. Stabhas or stupas are similarly marked out in the same manner in the expanded meanings from Vishnu Dharmottara.

In the query put forward by Vajra to Markandeya, he espouses that the making of images and inducting deities into them, the building of temples and worship, fine arts as in architecture, painting, music, dance, drama, poetry are all part and parcel of the principle of rasa. In other words, the concept of rasa pervades all art forms.

The human's desire is fulfilled with the image worship of (the inducted) Padmanaabha for one wishing for a son or one wanting dhaanya should worship (inducted) Matsya etc. Sanjay ji also agrees that when prana pratishta has been offered to an item that the person holds dear, we are also to understand that that item (as in a stone/gemstone), it is as good as wearing a kavaca, for the presence of that deity will guard your aura. Placements of such items do not necessarily be fixed in the NE, generally relegated to the place of worship. Say in your chart, a malefic Rahu is in the SW of a nativity, placement of petrified wood in this sector of the house or living room (I personally prefer to activate or subdue energies around the living room area) should quell the malfeasance created by Rahu. This is my understanding from the statement from Jataka Parijata that the Sun (as in Garuda) has the power to overcome evils caused by Rahu.

In His feat over Andhaka, Mahadeva's sweat fell on earth and the droplet became the vaastu purusha whose insatiable appetite threatened to devour even the do-gooders like the suras and whichever part of the purusha's body is pinned down by these demi gods within the four corners of the earth, became the deities that one offers oblations to in vaastu puja. I understand that during caturmasa when Vishnu is in yoganidra, the vaastu purusha is " let loose " and perhaps not a good time to do renovations, build your front door (wooden door) etc. This idea seems to be supported in the skanda purana.

Dear Shiv,Namaste

I am also waiting for Bipin to give you the answer to your query.

love,Swee

Astrologically the vastu can be explained as underthe shape of the house with its cuts and extension is like your natural horoscope with which we are born - that which cannot be changed.The cuts and the extensions to directions create cut and extension to the 12 houses of the natural horoscope. According to this effect on a perticular house, the occupants get experience in life

It is said that 'Prarabdha - Purushartha - Vastu'. We cannot change our desitiny but we can change / alter the vastu in which we live / reside and hence it can be said the vastu is a means by which we can travel to reach our destiny. Hence a good vastu helps you to reach your destiny with ease and comfort faster and in better condition

bipinpragDate: Wed, 14 May 2008 02:35:14 +0530[Om Krishna Guru] Re: Re: [Jaya Jagannatha] Remedy for ADHD

Om Namo Bhagavate ParamguraveDear ShivNamasteWe know from our Vedic understanding that our soul incarnates in this lifetime into a body as a result of our accumulated past karmas of which the Natal chart is the manifestation hereof. So to optimise our well being, a healthy diet, practice of Yoga or Tai Chi and a satvic way of life is very important, hence the guidelines from the practice of Ayurveda nourish the Mind and Body. This Soul in the Body has to occupy some cosmic space, so the importance of adherence to Vastu guidlines is also important to limit any additional stress which we all know is quite rife nowadays.

One of the few thngs at our disposal where we can our exert our free will, is to change our immediate environment, so Vastu remedies also have to be looked at for behaviour patterns for hyperactivity and inactivity. Granted, that its difficult to observe perfect Vastu guidelines for the 'average city dweller', but the idea is to minimise the Vastu defects as far as possible.

If you consider a third of ones life is spent sleeping when the body uses its restful state to rejuvinate and heal itself naturally, sleeping in the correct direction is very very important. Generally, it is recommended for one to sleep with one's head facing South with a few exceptions. So Jyotish, Ayurveda and Vastu all has to be be considered to bring peace to the Mind, Body and Soul. They are inseperable, each with their own diagnostic tools but at the same time working in perfect harmony.

Jaya Jagannatha

Dear Shiv,Namaste

Offering mantras during brhama muhurta naturally energises the body. Hence, early to bed deters malefics to overcome the body (kendras) and keeps them at bay and it is not jsyt the early bird that catches the worm, one naturally feels energised.

Optimism is caused by one's birth in a week day that is friendly with the Sun. You'll find that a person born on a Sunday morning is naturally optimistic if the Sun is well placed in the chart.

Birth that takes place during the different months all have spiritual energies related to the different Adityas. Taking mine as an example, I have the Sun in Meena and this relates to Vshnu Aditya. In my chart, it is in the 11th, hence a blend of energies with Tvastri Aditya is altered in the Ajna cakra. Since the Sun is weak in avastha and in vaiseshikamsa the practice of mauna for an hour everyday can help in the " porcupine chi " tendency. This is known as such because one's thoughts may become haphazard that presents itself in a vocal Freudian slip.

Light exercises are recommended. Tai Chi especially, as the masters are given beejas to mentally chant, tongue on the roof of the palate and meditate on the beejas whilst practising the moves. Avoid onions, sugary drinks etc. Eat wholesome foods. Fresh coriander or using raddish periodically can be a good thing as pungent foods is presided over by the Sun. Brisk walk, do not run. No heavy weights as taut muscles means a taut mind. Swimming is always good. Light exercises promote a better hormonal balance. Unlike heavy weight exercises and chocolate and its artificially induced amphetamine (both do that), and the chemical form is being recommended for this child.

A good brain food is the walnut.

As for motivation and drive, I know that my Guru chants most of the day (in isolation, in a room by himself) and yet, he is motivated to observe all fasts and still does his parikrama of the govadharn hill twice a month despite his age. When the mind is awake - full Moon, in jagrit avastha, there's no stopping the person is there? You may think he/she is lethargic when in fact they've been to the Sun and Moon and back several times in a day ) so there's no secret to an early wake up call, which promotes the sattvic planets in your chart and take your life to the pinnacle of longevity.

Hence a good vastu helps you to reach your destiny with ease and comfort faster and in better condition With warm regards,Jaydeep Kumbhani To: CC: sohamsa ; bipinprag (AT) grouply (DOT) comWed, 14 May 2008 02:35:14 +0530[Om Krishna Guru] Re: Re: [Jaya Jagannatha] Remedy for ADHDOm Namo Bhagavate ParamguraveDear ShivNamasteWe know from our Vedic understanding that our soul incarnates in this lifetime into a body as a result of our accumulated past karmas of which the Natal chart is the manifestation hereof. So to optimise our well being, a healthy diet, practice of Yoga or Tai Chi and a satvic way of life is very important, hence the guidelines from the practice of Ayurveda nourish the Mind and Body. This Soul in the Body has to occupy some cosmic space, so the importance of adherence to Vastu guidlines is also important to limit any additional stress which we all know is quite rife nowadays.One of the few thngs at our disposal where we can our exert our free will, is to change our immediate environment, so Vastu remedies also have to be looked at for behaviour patterns for hyperactivity and inactivity. Granted, that its difficult to observe perfect Vastu guidelines for the 'average city dweller', but the idea is to minimise the Vastu defects as far as possible. If you consider a third of ones life is spent sleeping when the body uses its restful state to rejuvinate and heal itself naturally, sleeping in the correct direction is very very important. Generally, it is recommended for one to sleep with one's head facing South with a few exceptions. So Jyotish, Ayurveda and Vastu all has to be be considered to bring peace to the Mind, Body and Soul. They are inseperable, each with their own diagnostic tools but at the same time working in perfect harmony.Best WishesBipinOn 14/05/2008, Swee Chan <swee (AT) coppernet (DOT) zm> wrote:Jaya JagannathaDear Shiv,NamasteOffering mantras during brhama muhurta naturally energises the body. Hence, early to bed deters malefics to overcome the body (kendras) and keeps them at bay and it is not jsyt the early bird that catches the worm, one naturally feels energised.Optimism is caused by one's birth in a week day that is friendly with the Sun. You'll find that a person born on a Sunday morning is naturally optimistic if the Sun is well placed in the chart.Birth that takes place during the different months all have spiritual energies related to the different Adityas. Taking mine as an example, I have the Sun in Meena and this relates to Vshnu Aditya. In my chart, it is in the 11th, hence a blend of energies with Tvastri Aditya is altered in the Ajna cakra. Since the Sun is weak in avastha and in vaiseshikamsa the practice of mauna for an hour everyday can help in the "porcupine chi" tendency. This is known as such because one's thoughts may become haphazard that presents itself in a vocal Freudian slip.Light exercises are recommended. Tai Chi especially, as the masters are given beejas to mentally chant, tongue on the roof of the palate and meditate on the beejas whilst practising the moves. Avoid onions, sugary drinks etc. Eat wholesome foods. Fresh coriander or using raddish periodically can be a good thing as pungent foods is presided over by the Sun. Brisk walk, do not run. No heavy weights as taut muscles means a taut mind. Swimming is always good. Light exercises promote a better hormonal balance. Unlike heavy weight exercises and chocolate and its artificially induced amphetamine (both do that), and the chemical form is being recommended for this child.A good brain food is the walnut.As for motivation and drive, I know that my Guru chants most of the day (in isolation, in a room by himself) and yet, he is motivated to observe all fasts and still does his parikrama of the govadharn hill twice a month despite his age. When the mind is awake - full Moon, in jagrit avastha, there's no stopping the person is there? You may think he/she is lethargic when in fact they've been to the Sun and Moon and back several times in a day ) so there's no secret to an early wake up call, which promotes the sattvic planets in your chart and take your life to the pinnacle of longevity.love,SweeOn 13 May 2008, at 18:12, Shiv wrote:Dear Sweeji,This is a very interesting thread.

Jaya JagannathaDear Bipin,Hare KrishnaWhat's happened to choice of the month when the Vaastu Purusha head is supposed to point? You are supposed to wait until such time when the vaastu purusha head is pointed to THAT rashi which is the strongest in your chart, that you would like to activate and make the main entrance to the house accordingly.

Om Namo Bhagavate Param GuraveDear JaydeepNamasteTo confirm your statement, I have Aquarius Lagna with LL Ra in 4H, so East was blocked in the house prior to the renovation.

Further, I have Ve in Lagna and Mo also in Ta, so I 'gained' a correct entrance according to my chart based on the parivartana of Ve and Ra during the dasha change of Ju-Mo when I did the renovation. Could it be explained in this way

Thanks for engaging in the Vastu discussions - much appreciatedBest WishesBipin On 16/05/2008, jaydeep kumbhani <jaydeepkumbhani786 wrote:

Namaste

East governs Prosperity , Wisdom , Male issues.

East or the 1st. house of the kalpurush is ruled by Mars and exhaltation of Sun

In a kalpurush kundali, Sun is the lord of the fifth and gets exhalted in the first.

East governs the human head and brain. Being the lord of the fifth it rules the heart / mental activities / male children / love affairs – sun rules the functioning of the heart / Eyes / hair / bones / stomach and is a great source of Cosmic energy.

Since the East is closed or there are no openings there could be problems like

Ø Functioning of Heart and Brain becomes weak

Ø Baldness

Ø Headache

Ø Decreased vision

Ø Jaundice

Ø Piles

Ø Stomach ulcers

Ø Weakening of bones

Ø Possibility of genetic diseases in children

Ø Sun being the signification of government, problems may arise from political side.

When you examin the horoscope of the owner of the house / vastu ; East closed is indicated by :

The Lord of the Ascendant or the Ascendant is damaged.

1. Saturn in Ascendant and in fall sign

2. 4TH. House occupied by Saturn or Rahu in the Rahu.

3. Lord of the Ascendant in the 12th. House

4. Lord of the Ascendant aspect by 2 malefic

5. Lord of the Ascendant in the fall sign

6 Sun in fall sign

a. Sun in Libra – sign of debilitation

b. Conjucts with a malefic like Rahu / Ketu / Saturn / Mars

c. In the sign of a malefic / inimacial sign – Capricorn / Aquarius / Taurus / Libra

d. In the house of a Trik - House nos. 6/8/12

since East is ruled by Mars and exhaltation of Sun ; when you sleep with your head in east one becomes creative and also advances in the line of spirituality. The problem is that one tends to wake up early. The forehead of such a person is many times high

With warm regards,Jaydeep Kumbhani
