When the whole slope of a plot or roof drains into the centre, or a well, water tank or septic tank is built in the Brahmasthan, the result is sarvanash (total ruin). Projects with a central well always carry some trouble they cannot rise above.
The manushya bhoomi, the second band inward, takes the main door, windows, kitchen, bedrooms, dining room, puja room and stairs. No shilanyas, boring or pit should be made in it, and above all not at the corners of its transition with the pishach bhoomi, where the shishu pishach and pishacha points lie.
The S8 door is called mrityu dwar (death door) and should never be made, even by mistake.
Make the septic tank in WNW as the first option and ESE as the second, never in the East or under the stairs, and run the underground drainage line clockwise from the South-West to the North-West.
From 7:30 to 9 am the Sun sits in ESE and its rays churn (manthan), making it the zone of analysis, also called the anxiety zone. It suits wash areas, septic tanks, guest rooms, lifts and rooms of small children or research scholars, but not adult bedrooms, tijori or business counters.
The earth is tilted about 23 degrees toward the NE, so this corner receives the most energy; it is the zone of clarity. Keep it low and open, use it for water, study and worship, and keep here everything you want to charge or speed up.
In SSE the Sun's fire moves toward its old stage and fills the place with power, confidence and energy. Everything allowed in the SE is allowed here, but no pits may be dug from this zone onward.
The Sun sets in the West but the effect falls on WNW, which brings tears, so Vedic vastu calls it the rudan kaksh (crying room); it is the zone of depression and low mood. It is the ideal place for a septic tank and suits waste and storage uses.
Keep heavy furniture and cupboards in the South, West or SW of the bedroom, and avoid sleeping under beams or tanks, near electronics, facing mirrors or over clutter.
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.
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.
No, there is a world of difference between them, and they follow different rules and locations.
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.
WNW is the first option and ESE the second.
Absolutely not; a septic tank cannot be in the East.
No, a septic tank does not work under the stairs.
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.
When a chamber or tank goes deep enough, below navel level, it does not attract dosh, because in the human body, which follows vastu, the dirty matter also lies below the navel. A dirty chamber near the surface is not acceptable.
Yes. Not knowing makes no difference: the sun gives its rays whether or not someone believes in it, and a person who knows nothing of vastu still gets its doshas. A wrongly placed tank, boring, septic tank or sewer line affects the residents whether they know about it or not.
No. A septic tank cannot be made there; digging is prohibited from the SSE onward.
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.
