What it does
Helps decide where a toilet can be built and predicts the problems an existing toilet will cause.
Where
Workable: South-South-West (modern Vastu) and West-North-West. Emergency only: North-West (with a strong Moon) and East-South-East (septic tank). Avoid all other zones.
Cautions
Explanation and notes
SSW is an excellent toilet location according to modern Vastu (not Vedic Vastu), because the energy created by the deity of that zone suits disposal. WNW is the rudan kaksh (zone of release) and receives the transitional sushumna energy after sunset, so a toilet can be built there. The teacher has built many toilets in the NW: it is moderate but delays the support one receives, and people with a strong Moon can use it without trouble. A septic tank is hidden underground and churns waste into manure, so it carries less dosh; in an emergency it can be made in the ESE, but never in the SE. The claim that a NE toilet guarantees cancer is not fully true: cancer has many factors, and many hotels and homes with NE toilets have owners who never got it, though the disturbed positive energy can lead to serious disease. Results are not absolute either: some children with a WSW toilet still topped their class because other strong energies or corrections were present.
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.
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.
A toilet should be lined with glazed ceramic tiles, well ventilated, kept in white or grey, and should have no mirror facing the seat.
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.
