Kitchen in Brahmasthana ruins the whole family.
As could be seen from the above, not all defects cause only health problems. The influence of other types of utilities has to be analysed on the above lines and their effects may be understood. It is my personal observation based on research and practical experience that the tatwa imbalance is the primary cause for creating health problems even in vaasthu. The physical world being formed out of Pancha tatwas, any artificial effort by man either to neutralise or supersede its influence in any location causes serious health defects. Hence, in every direction, this tatwa influence needs to be maintained properly and any utility should be in harmony with the tatwa(s)-energy ruling that direction. If there is any mismatch, then it causes health problems. Let us discuss another example to further illustrate this point. Southwest is ruled by Earth element. If utilities ruling inimical tawas are located there it would affect the health of the master. Hence, location of Kitchen or Toilet in Southwest is unacceptable. Besides, it is found by experience that location of underground water bodies like well, borewell, sump, septic tank, etc affect the health of the master simultaneously creating negative influence on his status as well. Although water is friendly to Earth, water in southwest affects the earthy Southwest because water is an universal solvent in which almost all earthy materials get dissolved and lose their originality. Also, if we analyse the dissolution cycle of the panchatatwas, we find that Earth dissolves in to water and loses its independent identity. Many cases in which such under ground water bodies were located in Southwest, it has been observed by me that the owner of the house invariably got affected with B.P. or heart related problems. On the contrary, if an Earthy utility like staircase or store room is located in Northeast corner ruled by Water, it only affects the other characteristics of Northeast like lack of growth, anxiety due to children, etc and does not affect the health of inmates. But, if northeast is afflicted with a toilet, it affects both the health of inmates and the other areas like lack of growth, problems to children, etc. This is because, the purity of positive water in Northeast is spoiled by the influence of negative water and inimical air ruling the toilet. Similarly, if a kitchen is located in Northeast, it affects the health of inmates, especially the lady of the house. Fiery kitchen affects the watery Northeast being an inimical tatwa. The lady of the house being the main occupant of kichen she gets affected most. This defect may also affect the health of all the inmates with one or the other problem in health. The influences in other directional areas have to be 92
analysed on similar lines and understood properly. 4. IDENTIFYING AS TO WHOSE HEALTH WILL BE AFFECTED: The person whose health is likely to be affected may be identified as follows: 1. So as to know the health problem or any physical deformity that may be caused to the owner of a house, the afflictions to a particular area in the house is to be first identified. Then, the body part(s) of Vaasthu purusha corresponding to the afflicted direction(s) is/are identified. According to the classics like Mayamata, there will be disease or deformity in the body part of the owner corresponding to the afflicted body part of the Vaasthu Purusha. This rule is found to be very useful in knowing the health of the owner only. 2. But in actuality, apart from the owner’s health other inmates also get health problems in the same house depending on the doshas. This point was seriously pondered over by me and based on my observations the following method has been devised by me to know as to whose health may be affected in a house. It has been observed by me that each direction in the Vassthu Mandala signifies a particular relationship to the owner of the house. The following chart, arrived at by me based on my personal research, indicates the relationship ruled by each directional area in a house: Direction
Governing Relationships
NorthEast
All members in the family, Children
East
Father
SouthEast
Owner’s Wife ( sometimes, mother or eldest lady also)
South
Son(s)
SouthWest
Owner
West
Daughter (s)
NorthWest
Mother/Eldest lady/ Eldest daughter/ married daughter
North
Professional and financial /left arm of the owner
Brahmasthana
All members in the family
The relationship ruled by each direction provides a clue to the identification of the person to whom health problems may be caused in that house. Once the defects are identified and their results are understood, we come to know of the location where a defect capable of causing any health problem is existing in the house. By referring to the above chart the person to whom the health problem may be caused is easily identified. AIFAS Research Journal of Astrology l Jan.-Mar. 2012
