Gomti chakra spread under the mattress, or kept under a child's pillow, sharpens the mind and prevents bad dreams. It also gives restful sleep to people who have to sleep in a wrong zone such as the South-South-West or West-North-West.
When troubles persist and the bed stands in a wrong zone such as SSW or WNW, plaster the floor under the bed with desi cow dung and sleep there; the teacher guarantees good results from ten years of trials.
A transformer is fire, and the North is the water zone of opportunity, so a transformer there blocks earnings. In one factory a transformer correctly placed in the West-North-West was shifted at a cost of 5 lakh rupees to the exact North at N3-N4, and the plant ran at only 25 to 30 percent of capacity.
Having poured out all its energy in the West, the Moon is empty by the West-North-West, and the magnetic field and gravitational force become imbalanced there. This is the zone of depression, called the rudan kaksh (weeping room) in the texts, where the energy brings tears.
Build a basement only in the North, NNE, NE, East and ENE, or as a full basement that lets sun rays in; never in the South, South-West or the Brahmasthan.
Place the boundary (compound) wall gate in ENE for an East-facing plot, SSE for a South-facing plot, WNW for a West-facing plot and NNE for a North-facing plot.
Make the septic tank in WNW as the first option and ESE as the second, never in the East or under the stairs, and run the underground drainage line clockwise from the South-West to the North-West.
A lift belongs to the fire element; its pit may be dug in ESE and SE, but from SSE onward only a pitless lift is allowed. The lift zones named are ESE and, best of all, WNW and NW, then SE; SSE only pitless, NNW only in an emergency and never the North.
Vedic vastu never put toilets inside the house; today they go where positive energy ends. SSW is the main toilet zone, WNW and a well-ventilated NW are acceptable, ESE only in an emergency with a south-facing seat, and a toilet in any energy zone such as the NE brings serious harm.
The Sun sets in the West but the effect falls on WNW, which brings tears, so Vedic vastu calls it the rudan kaksh (crying room); it is the zone of depression and low mood. It is the ideal place for a septic tank and suits waste and storage uses.
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.
Appliances that run on electricity represent the fire element, so the washing machine, inverter, electric meter, AC and cooler go in the SE, ESE, SSE or NW, while the TV goes where viewers face North.
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.
In the West, W4 (Pushpadant) showers wealth and W5 (Varun) also gives wealth, while W1, W2, W3, W6, W7 and W8 bring short life, overspending, loss of money, government trouble, disease and a destructive mind.
Half of the kitchen is in the North-West and half in the West-North-West; where should the burner go?
Place the burner in the North-West part. A North-West kitchen is rated good, while a kitchen fire in the West-North-West brings differences between husband and wife.
Did royal palaces have toilets, and where were they placed?
Yes. Toilets were built at the rear of palaces, on the lower side, reached by pathways that did not join the main wall, and they were placed in the West-North-West. Kings never built attached toilets beside every room, even though they had every resource.
