Questions and Answers

A North-facing mandir is fine; temples of God are often kept North-facing. A West-facing mandir is moderate.

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.

It should not be underground; keep it overhead, in the West direction.

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

Fix it outside the door. Hang it in a U shape, exactly the way the English letter U is written, with the open end upward.

Yes, metallic grey works well in the West.

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.

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.

No; why invite spirits? One person planted two shami trees in the West of his home believing it would help, faced three to four months of trouble and returned them to the gardener. Shami should not be grown at home.

Certainly. Drop the idea that there should be no greenery in the North-West or South-West; gardens and resorts everywhere have greenery on all sides. A vastu expert should never get a tree cut, because its dosh falls on him; plant auspicious trees near it instead.

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.

Do not make the gods face South; it brings heaviness, for example interviews go well but give no result. Place them on the West wall instead so that they face East.

Saturn in the 8th is not bad. Here Saturn sits in a sign of Mars, and Mars with Saturn forbids the South, but the West door can be opened. Send the kundli for a closer look before opening it.

Do not worry about Lord Shankar facing West; worry only about the South, and even Hanuman ji may face South. If a deity ever faces a wrong direction, fix a mirror directly in front of the deity.

With Saturn and Rahu in the 8th house in sign 8 (Rahu debilitated), grey should not have been used. Change the wall colour of the largest carpet area; the furniture need not change. Off-white walls are fine, so no need to worry about them.

If you open the South, open it in the good South pada (S4 as heard), and if you open the West, in the good West pada (W4 as heard). The present South-West entry should be corrected with door power.
