Is a dirty water drainage chamber in the North-East, nine feet below floor level, acceptable?
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.

A mango tree inside the boundary in the North-East is growing taller than the house. What effect will it have?
Only one tall tree is allowed in the North-East, the coconut, which draws cosmic energy from above and passes it down. No other tall tree should stand there. If one already exists and cannot be cut, plant energy-capturing plants such as tulsi in the North and plant tulsi all around the tree.

After placing sweets and later chanting the mantra 27 times at a devta place, I felt strong heat in my body. Why?
It shows a defect or imbalance at that pad. When an offering reaches a defective place the defect tries to come out, as when granite tiles at one devta pad cracked during a group havan, and the body reacts. The uneasiness is a signal: the pad must be purified and activated with the method being taught (havan samagri, bhog samagri, mantra or the samagri to hang), so wait for the full method before trying again.
