Questions and answers

All 28 questions
The air element of my rented flat is disturbed and I have severe gastric problems. What can I do?

Use green colour and a flag-like pattern: put up a flag (dhwaj) in the North-West and, if possible, open the North-West with a window; this brings at least some balance. Swar vigyan can do still more without expense or demolition.

What flag should be put in the North-West when the air element is disturbed: a green one or a five-element flag?
What should be done for a severe gas problem in the family?
The North-West was given green as its colour, but the shakti chakra shows it in blue. Why?

The colour on the chakra is the colour of the devta of that zone, not of the element; the North devtas are shown in red, for example, which is not a colour to paint there. The air element has both green and blue as its colours.

Is a swimming pool in the North-West good?

No, a swimming pool in the North-West is not good; only one built above floor level is acceptable there.

How should a 4-inch sewer drain pipe running through the centre be judged?

The underground drainage line should run from the South-West towards the North-West, that is clockwise, and leave the plot at the North-West; that is good.

Can a septic tank be made in the North-West?

Yes, but only if it includes the WNW portion, for example 70% in WNW and 25 to 30% in NW. It then gives the results of WNW.

Can a swimming tank above floor level be made in the North or North-West?

Yes. Above floor level it works in the North and in the North-West, and in the North-West it can also be built high up like an overhead tank. A tank at ground floor that is raised, with no pit, is acceptable.

Is an overhead tank right in NNW, and should it be in the South-West or the North-West?

Not in NNW. An overhead tank can be built from the West up to the North-West; making it in the South-West, as many people do, is wrong. Build it in the North-West.

Can an overhead tank be built over the staircase?

Only if the stairs are in the North-West; otherwise not. Basically an overhead tank should not be built over the stairs, because hydro currents move as you walk below it and the mind becomes unsettled.

The entrance is between North and East and outside footwear brings outside energy. Where should the shoe rack go?

For a north-facing entrance, make the shoe rack toward the North-West; for an east-facing entrance, toward the East-South-East. If neither is possible, put muscovite (abhrak) under the rack wherever it stands and make it of wood, not metal, because bacteria run on metal, as corona showed.

If the Moon is debilitated, is a North-West entrance bad?

Yes, not just bad but very bad; the North-West entrance will have to be closed.
