Cautions
Explanation and notes
Glazed tiles stop moisture and bacteria from spreading beyond the toilet, so a toilet in the wrong place loses much of its dosh; this is why old toilets were fully lined with white glazed tiles. The toilet represents Shani and Rahu, so grey and white work in any zone, as the planet is given more importance than the zone colour here.
The human body, imagined facing East, is built like the Vastu Purush Mandal, and the position of each body function shows where the matching part of a house belongs.
Vedic Vastu texts assign no place to a toilet inside the house and say its wall should not even touch the house foundation; toilets were built outside, and palaces placed them at the rear in the West-North-West.
Zone-by-zone results of a toilet: SSW and WNW are workable, NW and ESE only in an emergency, and every other zone damages what that zone governs.
Four positions are forbidden for a toilet whatever the zone: the Brahmasthan, directly opposite the main door, directly opposite the kitchen and under the staircase.
Turning the toilet seat so the user faces North or South, never East or West, corrects about half the dosh of a toilet even when it stands in a wrong zone.
Sitting on the toilet with the left nostril closed, the teeth pressed together and the feet raised on a small footstool clears the bowels in seconds and protects the teeth and stomach.
A glass bowl layered with sea sand, alum, salt and sea sand again, kept in the toilet where the air flows out, absorbs the negativity of the toilet.
The drawing room is the place for exchanging ideas, so its furniture is set in a square or rectangle, the person putting forward his views faces North, the colours are light and windows give cross-ventilation.
