PU (polyurethane) finish on furniture is even more dangerous than oil paint and can cause breathing trouble, asthma, headache, vomiting and fainting; natural wood with a traditional natural polish should be used instead.
Furniture, tables and doors
Red represents Mars and the Surya swar; it creates heat, fire and zeal in the body, so it is used wherever heavy physical work must be done fast.
Warehouses, loading areas, staff uniforms
Solid wooden flooring is the best, ceramic tiles suit business, vitrified tiles are acceptable, and laminate (melamine, a petroleum by-product) should be avoided.
Flooring of homes and businesses
Before doing an interior, get the birth chart analysed: heavy use of the colours, materials or showpieces of a debilitated (neech) planet becomes the biggest trouble, and items unknowingly put in a wrong zone can suddenly bring unrest, disease and failure.
Teak is the best furniture wood, ideally with a little sandalwood mixed in and joined with wooden pegs or copper or brass nails. Asan wood drives away negativity and disease, while tendu must never be used and mango must never be used for a bed.
Furniture and beds throughout the home
Peepal, banyan, tamarind and pakad must never stand inside the house premises, and date palm, pomegranate, banana and ber also harm the household. A tree whose shadow falls on the house beyond the first and last prahar of the day causes trouble.
House premises and surroundings
Tulsi senses negative energy entering the home and drives it away, and the air rising from it cleans the whole house, so every home must have one, especially in the North-East and the brahmasthan.
North-East and brahmasthan
A family photo should show everyone full length with smiling faces, and the faces of the living must turn to the North, the living direction; NNW suits family attraction, but the direction the faces look matters more than the wall.
Any wall (NNW suits family attraction) as long as the faces look North
The mirror is one of the eight mangal items (ashtamangal) and is considered the best of them; it drives away negative energy and reflects energy when placed in the right direction. It represents the water element and the Moon, so it belongs on the North or East wall.
North or East wall; North-West acceptable
The main door is the face (mukh mandal) of the house and every door and window is a face; the centre of the top frame corresponds to the agya chakra between the eyebrows. A nail driven there damages it and the household suffers constant headaches.

Get the seat removed and refitted perfectly level, because health matters more than the cost. Many people found with kidney, heart and cancer problems, and especially stomach problems, had toilet seats that were not at water level. The main door too must be in plumb, leaning neither in nor out, and level where it stands.
A picture of the Sun goes only in the East. Make sure it really is the Sun: a Sun-like figure with a moustache is Shani Dev, and in one prominent family his images on both gates facing the house were followed by incurable illness in member after member.
It is a negative sign. A bird striking the head gives a health-related indication and warns that an illness may be coming. This is part of the wider subject of ashtang nimitta.
Yes, the swar becomes reversed; during a cold the Chandra swar runs more. To clear accumulated kapha, change the swar and run the Surya swar, forcibly if needed; congestion built up over many days takes time and will not clear in a day. The body stays warm inside however cold it is outside, just as borewell water comes out warm in winter.
It indicates negative energy at that place. Dowsers and highly sensitive persons feel such energy much more strongly, and your body was able to sense it; talking about it connects you to it again. The teacher has had similar reactions at sites, once with his whole body going limp, red and sweating and with severe loose motions.
Protection methods are taught in later classes. Even with protection, very strong negative energy will make the body react while you are there, just as wind touches you whatever shield you make, but with a protective shield (suraksha kavach) it cannot do more than that reaction.
No. If it did, the owners of five and seven star hotels, which commonly have toilets in the North-East, would suffer first, and every South-facing owner would be ruined. Vastu must be read together with the planets of the person, which are exalted and which debilitated, instead of blindly applying one rule to everyone.
Use green colour and a flag-like pattern: put up a flag (dhwaj) in the North-West and, if possible, open the North-West with a window; this brings at least some balance. Swar vigyan can do still more without expense or demolition.
The meditative form of nadi shodhan and the 72 kala practice can still be done, inhaling energy to charge the baby.
Either remove the toilet, which is rarely practical, or keep the two flats separate through kilan: four copper nails at the corners of one flat and four at the corners of the other. At griha pravesh a raksha sutra is tied around the house and nails are fixed at the four corners so that the current moves along them, and kilan divides the current the same way. Even on the third floor, simply drill and fix 1.5-inch copper nails.
Balance the air element of the house.
Yes, it definitely does. Doors and their effects are taught in detail in the door classes.
