Most market products for toilets are metal strips. How should a toilet be blocked then?
Work it out from the principle, as with making mantras: first decide whether the energy must be blocked or spread. To block it, use a bad conductor that covers it from all sides; it cannot be done with a metal strip. The method was to be demonstrated practically in a later class.
If the ideal placement of a room is not possible, is there an alternative?
Yes, move to the second, third and further options. As a professional, give the client a written list: the first option according to the kundali and element, then the second, third, fourth and fifth options. This is covered with kundalis in the diploma.
Where can a wine bar or meat be kept in the house?
No place is selected for wine, a bar or meat. In a house where any living being is killed or eaten vastu does not work, so the family is first asked to give these up before a vastu visit.
Why is the popular red bulb in the South-East rejected?
A zero-watt red bulb has no strength to add fire: even if someone keeps it lit for a whole year, nothing warms up. Such formulas are baseless practices carried on in the name of vastu and should be thrown out; Geo Vastu exists to remove this kind of darkness.
Where should an aquarium be kept?
Nowhere: an aquarium is fancy vastu, not Vedic vastu. Keeping any creature captive is not right, and water kept impure for a long time disturbs the water element further; just as being shut in a 6 x 6 room for life with food provided would feel wrong, it is wrong to imprison living beings. An aquarium does not remove vastu dosh, it creates one, and no one's wealth has grown from keeping one.
Where should a Vastu consultant's office be?
The texts define a vastuvid as one who is pure in thought, does good deeds, is virtuous and loves justice. So the office suits the zones that give justice: the West (Shani), the North-East and the East (the Sun). All three are correct.
Which toran should a vastu consultant (vastuvid) hang?
The teacher left it to the students; their suggestions, a mango leaf swastik toran and a toran of cow-dung cakes, were both called correct. He then gave his best (Kohinoor) bandhanwar for any wrongly placed door: make round discs of desi cow dung, draw a swastik on each, fix them on a bandhanwar strip and hang it on the main door, and the defects end. The alternative, a daily desi cow-dung lepan in front of the main door with a rangoli in the colour of its zone, is hard to keep up every day, so the permanent bandhanwar is better.
