Diksadana:- Chapter 7

The village or site where the construction to be done, identify the center and level the soil. Draw 36

inches radius circle . in the center install a shanku of 12 inches with sharp edge portion like needle.

Note the point of shadow of sharp edge portion in the morning day which is called western point. And

continue to note shadow at afternoon to get eastern point. While doing diksadhana,if Sun transits thru

vrishabha and kanya rasis, these points to be considered as is from center

If sun transits in mesha, mithuna, simha and tula shadow falls in 2 inches distance from center

If sun in Makara shadow falls in 8 inches from center

If sun transits in dhanu and kumbhas shadow falls in 6 inches from center

If sun transits in meena the shadow falls in 4 inches from center

Now join the western and eastern points with fish shaped lines. The lines crossing over these lines in

vertical direction are north and south lines passing thru center. Now draw more sets of fish shaped lines

to get other directions

There is method to identifying the direction based on Pole star( Druva Nakshatram)

And in another method compass can be used to identify all directions

Sudda Prachi:- True East or exact East.The eastern direction needs to be corrected first , then rest of the

directions need to be fixed. Corners are not suitable to identify aya and other factors, so Sudda prachi

needs to be identified first and then rest of the directions.

As per the ancient vastu texts , all villages, houses /towns need to have all directions fixed properly. The

constructions with out proper corners end up in Digmuda. ( defective direction/ corner). With fixing diks

first, the construction of house/cities/towns will be beautified and mooda doshas for residents.

The sudda prachi can be obtained by Conch/shanku is called Branha Prachi. If Shanku is moved little bit

to north its called aishee prachi ( eeshana) which is very important for temple constructions, if moved to

south its called aindri prachi.

Dik mudam:-house construction should be done based on proper directions. Any construction with

defective direction/dik would result in Digmuda causing lot of problems to residents of that house.

Defective east or west direction result in loss for women

Defective north would result in loss to children

Defective south would result in death of residents.
