What is the treatment for a South-West washroom that cannot be changed?
All around the toilet seat (the W.C., including the flush), insert mercury, only 10 to 15 grams, in brass strips so the bacteria of the toilet cannot spread. This gives the best results in the South-West.

In Dubai most flats have toilets in the Brahmasthan padas; how can this be treated?
The Brahmasthan's energy reaches every part of the house, so a toilet there affects everything. Nullify it with the mercury injection method all around, leaving the Brahma bindu itself untouched.
My neighbour's house in the East has two storeys and mine has one. What is the effect?
You are losing, because the East (the sun) gives all the energy. Either build a second storey or put up a flag: a metal flag of brass in the South-West of your roof, higher than their building, so that your building starts receiving cosmic energy.
The North-West toilet has been built about two feet higher than the rest of the house; does this create a dosh?
Balance it by fixing a dhwaj (flag) in the South-West.
What should be done if the toilet and kitchen share a common wall?
Inject mercury into the ground along the base of the common wall; once mercury is in place no bacteria can travel across into the kitchen. Ideally a toilet should not be on any of the six sides of a kitchen: in front, behind, on either side, above or below.
When a toilet and bathroom are built in the visarjan (disposal) zone, their floor is often raised or sunk to keep water from flowing out. What is correct?
Anything placed on the ground should be at water level, and the floor of the whole house should stay the same. Give the toilet and bathroom floor its slope toward the North-East; water draining toward the South-West is very troublesome.
A bone was found on a plot meant for an industry. What must be done before building there?
Removing the bone is not enough; the land needs its rites, just as a house is purified after a death. Do a vastu registry with five coconuts (four corners and the bone spot), remove the affected soil, do agni sanskar with mango wood, ghee and camphor in 16 places and float the ash in flowing water, purify with water and mantra, sprinkle gomutra and plaster with cow dung, put lime and sulphur in the pit, keep a lamp burning there for 24 hours, and mix a little mercury into the soil and the four corners. If the shilanyas had already been done, it is broken and must be redone after purification.
