Questions and Answers

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.

Anything placed on the ground should be at water level, and the floor of the whole house should stay the same. Give the toilet and bathroom floor its slope toward the North-East; water draining toward the South-West is very troublesome.

Because their land energy is high. Land energy decides about 70 percent of the result, so on strongly energetic land even an opposite orientation does little harm, while on obstructed or cursed land no orientation helps.

Yes, advise removing it: the North is Kuber's place, and keeping filth at the place of wealth is like putting dirt in the mouth, so wealth cannot grow. After any demolition do a Vastu pooja; even a short one is enough, offering 45 small pieces of gud to the 45 devtas or invoking the nine lords with Bho Indra Vastu Dev Vastu Shanti Kuru Kuru and so on for each direction, with Brahma at the centre.

The North must be corrected and the land energy improved. Where the energy is good, any defects present give only about half their bad results. Household quarrels (grih klesh) are natural while such defects remain.

Because the North-East belongs to Jupiter (Guru), the greatest planet, and to its lord Isha. A toilet, dirt or height there blocks Guru's grace, and spoiling the North-East spoils even a strong Jupiter in one's horoscope.

Yes. Land energy carries 70 percent of the role, so changing and correcting it can give about 50 to 60 percent relief. Many large hotels have toilets in the Ishaan and still prosper because 6 to 10 feet of soil was dug out and thrown away, removing the land's negativity. In vastu, dasha (land energy) matters more than disha (direction).

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.

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.

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.

No. Water lines reach every zone anyway through washrooms and taps, and lines inside the ground do not have much effect. Only dirty water lines matter, which is why they should run clockwise.

Shikhi sits there and the spot holds heat and fire, so a house door at E1 can cause fire incidents and accidents. A boundary-wall gate is allowed, being in the pishach bhoomi, and so is the door of a temple or other religious building, a school or a college, because such buildings represent Jupiter and become the yogi's own home. A kitchen at Shikhi keeps health poor and brings memory loss, money problems, anger, indecision and a blocked mind, and a toilet there in the North-East stops vansh vriddhi (growth of the family line).

With a toilet on the pad, results do not come however much effort is made; its full treatment is part of the complete vastu taught in this course.

No, it is wrong, 1000 percent. The top is left open and a wall-hung seat does not even rest on the floor, yet only the floor is blocked on three sides; at least 500 such cases were seen in Delhi. Metal does not block energy whether it is put on three sides or four, so no result comes. The toilet treatment itself is being done wrongly.

Metal is a good conductor, so it carries and spreads energy instead of blocking it, and blocking works only when it covers all sides. Metal should not be put into the ground for this. Use a bad conductor, just as the plastic cover on an electric wire stops the current from reaching you. Plastic pyramids and random items sold in the name of vastu do not help.

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.

No. Every item has rules: the height at which it is fixed, placing it inside, never at foot level and never in a toilet. A swastik is never put in a toilet at any cost, and there is no reason to activate devtas inside a toilet, since that gives their place to the toilet.

Yes, 100 percent. Just as a picture changes the mind, a built toilet is itself a figure (aakriti), so even an unused toilet gives its effect.

Basically the ESE is for a septic tank or any underground waste activity. A toilet there is only for an emergency, with the seat facing South; a seat facing East makes it like a North-East toilet.

No. The swastik and Om are the most sacred symbols, and a swastik generates about 10 lakh bovis of energy; when such bricks end up in toilets and floors, people walk and relieve themselves on it, and the same amount of negative energy is generated in the house, harming all work. In one case a family built a whole house of swastik bricks, and within three months of griha pravesh three members died in an accident and another later died of a heart attack. Recommend plain burnt clay bricks (fly ash bricks are not good either); where swastik bricks are already laid, spray gomutra (cow urine) on them before plastering.

Inject mercury into the ground along the base of the common wall; once mercury is in place no bacteria can travel across into the kitchen. Ideally a toilet should not be on any of the six sides of a kitchen: in front, behind, on either side, above or below.

No, neither a bathroom nor a toilet should be built under the stairs. A toilet under the stairs creates hormonal problems and upsets the balance of the whole house.

It is sand from the sea (samudra), which has special qualities. If it is not available, use ordinary river sand. When you travel to the coast in the South, bring back 2 to 5 kg of sea sand.

Yes. Rock salt can be used along with alum and sand.

They can follow the zone colour, but white or grey cause no problem in a toilet in any zone, because the toilet is represented by Shani and Rahu and here the planet is given more importance than the zone.
