SHANKU/GNAMON LESSON 8 MA ASTROLOGY I YEAR, PAPER IV VASTU

SHANKU/GNAMON  LESSON 8

1. The Gnamon has conical shape and sharp point at one end circular potion on the other end. If we keep any object which is in round shape infront of sunlight, it casts a shadow up to certain distance in the form of cone. As Gnamon having the sharp edge at one end facing the sun attracts quantum of energy like SRIYANTRA.
2. On the same principle, gold kalashas are installed on top of the  temples. Anything in form of cones attracts energy.
