If a much taller building is built only 10 to 12 feet in front of a third-floor flat, how does it affect the flat?
If a proper distance is maintained there is no problem, but a building many times taller standing close in front, within roughly 25 to 50 feet, has a bad effect. This is why the lowest floors of a building are the cheapest and the upper floors the costliest. Remedies for this are taught later.

I have booked a flat in a building that has a river flowing in the South, across the road. Is that a defect?
No. When a road runs between the property and the source of a vedh, such as a river, the defect does not apply.
People boil milk when entering a new flat; is there a science behind it?
Yes, it is nimitta gyan and not merely a custom of letting milk boil over for luck. If the milk heats fully and boils over without any sound, it is auspicious, a sign that the offering has been accepted. If it crackles or pops like ghee on heat, some ritual was left incomplete or some defect remains in the construction or the griha pravesh. The colour of the flame where milk or ghee falls, red, yellow or black, is also read.
A relative's flat had its door at E1. After buying the adjoining flat and removing the common wall the entrance came onto N4, and soon their ancestral land was acquired for a bullet-train project and they received crores. Is this the N4 effect?
Yes, this is chhappar phaad wealth, which comes as soon as N4 opens. E3, N4 and W4 are the three vipul sampada dwar (abundant-wealth doors). Opening them virtually gives perhaps 1 percent of the actual result, so do not believe the heavy promotion of virtual doors; it is the actual opening that brings the result.

Can crystallised quartz be used in a house or flat, and how much is needed?
Yes. In a house or flat, put it in the flooring, or in the soil filling when the floor is made. Use about 10 kg per 1000 sq ft for a normal area; to nullify a zone, double it or more, for example 2, 5 or even 10 kg for a 100 sq ft room that must be built in the wrong zone.
