Toilet Effects in Each of the 16 Zones
Zone-by-zone results of a toilet: SSW and WNW are workable, NW and ESE only in an emergency, and every other zone damages what that zone governs.
Principle
Toilet in Vedic Vastu: Outside the Foundation, Never Attached
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.
What it does
Shows why the toilet should be kept as separate as possible from living spaces and why attached toilets bring disease.
Where
Outside the house foundation; in palaces at the rear, on the lower side, in the West-North-West, reached by a pathway not joined to the main wall
Cautions
- Keep the toilet wall from touching the foundation of the main house wherever possible
- Avoid an attached toilet beside every bedroom: it keeps the occupants connected to its negative energy and bacteria 24 hours a day
- Do not keep adding toilets beyond the family's need, such as three toilets in a two-bedroom flat
Explanation and notes
In earlier times pits were dug only to bury surplus wealth safely for coming generations; today the pit holds excreta instead, in the form of the septic tank. Kings had every resource, yet no palace had an attached toilet beside each room. With every breath through the night the bacteria of an attached toilet are taken in. Since attached toilets became common, medical studies have recorded a rise in diseases: attached to toilets, attached to diseases. No Vedic text describes a toilet location; modern Vastu fixed one because of present-day needs, deriving the WNW from the human body and the Vastu Purush Mandal. A complete treatment of toilet defects needs about 10 hours of teaching, so only selected remedies were given in this class.

Toilet Never in Brahmasthan, Opposite Main Door or Kitchen, or Under Stairs
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.
Remedy
Toilet Seat Facing North or South to Halve a Toilet Dosh
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.
Principle
Toilet Interior: Glazed Tiles, Ventilation, Grey-White Colour, No Mirror
A toilet should be lined with glazed ceramic tiles, well ventilated, kept in white or grey, and should have no mirror facing the seat.
Remedy
Toilet Routine: Left Nostril Closed, Teeth Clenched, Footstool at 35 Degrees
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.
Remedy
Sea Sand, Alum and Salt Glass Bowl for Toilet Dosh
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.
Principle
Drawing Room Interior: Rectangular Seating, North Facing, Light Colours
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.
