Questions and Answers

Yes, a garden can be made in the East; even a bedroom can be made there for a person whose Sun is exalted.

The Sun's sweet morning rays carry an energy composition that mixes into the food and gives it taste, quality, minerals, vitamins and protein, so turning your back to the Sun while cooking is considered a great curse of the kitchen. Wherever the kitchen is, shift the burner to the South-East of the kitchen and make the cook face East; if East is not possible face North, but never face West.

There is no need to worry: an East kitchen is moderate. It suits early cooking, with the morning meal ready by about 9 to 9:30 am as in the kitchens of sadhus, so simply cook early.

Shoes can be kept almost anywhere except pure North, North-East and East.

Yes, absolutely. A room used only for bathing is fine in the North or the East; the East is the ideal place for bathing.

Yes, with remedies; he will not leave the East unused or build a toilet there. A drawing room is not a permanent seat. Only permanent seating, such as an 8-hour business seat, should not be chosen in the zone of a debilitated planet.

The best places for a medicine office are the East or the West.

The texts define a vastuvid as one who is pure in thought, does good deeds, is virtuous and loves justice. So the office suits the zones that give justice: the West (Shani), the North-East and the East (the Sun). All three are correct.

Sit before it so that your own face is towards the North. When you face a consecrated idol all directions become zero; direction is small and the Lord is great.

No, it is wrong. Seat the deity in the West facing East, and sit so that you look at the deity while your face is towards the North. The Lord's direction is what matters, just as the teacher's direction matters in a classroom.

In the West zone, facing East, so that he can analyse calmly.

Construction belongs to Mangal, so the office should be in the South zone, with its door in the East.

Face North or East during study, meditation, puja, bhajan, meals and bathing.

Because it is the most sacred and pure place, entering there with shoes and slippers is a serious problem. Shikhi devta, who sits at E1, then produces his fire, and his anger brings agni bhay (fear of fire), a greater chance of fire breaking out in the house. So E1 should not be used for the main door, even though people commonly praise it.

Before sunrise the Sun produces rays at E3 that carry minerals, vitamins and a gold composition. A well-decorated two-shutter door open at E3 therefore brings abundant wealth, and there is no shortage of money. E3 is one of the three vipul sampada dwar (abundant-wealth doors), along with N4 and W4.

See in which direction the 5th lord sits. If it sits in the West, that is excellent; if in the East, choose the East. The East and North are best for study anyway, and if the lord sits in the South, studying in the South also works.

Sleep is an activity of Saturn, and Saturn is a friend of Rahu-Ketu, who rule the South-West. The South is the seat of Yama, before whom no one prevails. Sun and Saturn are enemies, so sleeping in the East brings husband-wife quarrels; only a king-like person such as a politician or minister can sleep there. Applying this friend-enemy logic of the planets to every activity lets you derive remedies yourself.

Follow the direction the planet rules: if the Sun is exalted, select the East even though it sits in the West of the chart. Also see where most benefic planets sit; two, three or even four directions can be favourable for one person.

No, do not keep it and do not take on the trouble. Strengthen the West instead; its power reaches the East on its own.

The ishaan (North-East) should be correct, along with the North and the East.

Sun items go in the East, but they can also go in the directions of the friends of the Sun; one colour or one showpiece is not restricted to one place. That is why the colour combinations of friend planets were given.

A dressing room has four walls, so fix the mirror on its North or East wall. If the wash basin is already in the South and its mirror must be there, fix a mirror of the same size on the North wall; the pit made in the South is matched by one opposite and the effect evens out.

No. Wardrobe mirrors also belong on the North or East wall. Some say the North-West is also allowed because the mirror represents the water element and the Moon.

If you need a partition between the North and the East, make this painting on the glass partition there. If you do not want glass, the painting can be made on cloth and hung instead.

Yes, if there is a dead end it can be made in a flat too, but first see what needs opening. If a direction such as the North or East is completely closed, it can also be opened this way.
