In a three-floor building our North toilet was removed, but the upper floor's toilet is still above our North; does it affect us?
It falls under surrounding (assisting) vastu and affects you about 10 percent. Its energy can be treated and blocked if you can reach it. Do not build a temple in that North spot; at least never keep God beneath a toilet seat.
The Moon's North-West is much extended in my house; how can it be balanced?
Hang a Sharad Purnima moon picture and place a silver nandyavart in the wall.
Where should multi-coloured objects be kept?
Anywhere; multi-coloured items are allowed in all directions, just as you wear multi-coloured clothes. All five elements can exist within an inch of space; trouble comes only when anti-element items are used in large quantity.
In my East-facing house the temple had to be on the North wall, so the gods face South; is that wrong?
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.
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.
Saturn and Venus are in my 8th house in sign 8 (Scorpio); can I open a West door?
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.
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.
What are the specifications for building the South-West chabutra?
There are 24 types of chabutra and it cannot be explained in a short time; it will be taught completely and practically in the diploma.
Our mandir is in the Brahmasthan and Lord Shiva faces West; is that a problem?
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.
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.
The tijori should face North, but my small cupboard only opens to the South; can a mirror be used?
Yes, a mirror can be used, and East is also acceptable. Better still, place the tijori where it faces correctly, because it receives the energy of whatever it faces; facing Kuber's direction it receives Kuber's energy.
As an interior designer, clients choose their own colours and I cannot check their planets; should I give a remedy or try to convince them?
Do not try to convince anyone. People mostly like the colours that match their own planets. If a client chooses an anti-element colour and their kundli allows it, never stop them; it will bring them benefit.
My west-facing house has a lot of grey and it now feels irritating; what should I do?
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.
Can dark blue be used in the North?
Green is best for the North; blue is for the North-East.
What exactly goes into the mangal kalash?
A silver sava rupaya coin, 1 gram of mercury (or Bhimseni kapoor), haldi, supari, peeli sarson and panchratna, along with a silver swastik and saptadhanya.
My Mercury is debilitated in the 4th house with an exalted Venus; will plants in the North cause a problem?
No problem at all. Flowering plants represent Mercury, so keeping them in the North strengthens a weak Mercury. Keep up good work such as paying for poor children's education and sharing knowledge.
Do the swastiks for nazar and other uses need to be made at a particular time?
Select a muhurta if possible. Otherwise make swastiks for shanti and paushtik (peaceful, nourishing) work in the Chandra swar and for ugra (forceful) work in the Surya swar. Any remedy done in the wrong swar gives no result.
Is it fine if a dining chair comes over the Brahmasthan?
Keeping the Brahmasthan empty is best. A brahma nabhi can be made, but the Brahma bindu itself must always be kept empty.
A big peepal tree stands in the North-West of my own house and my health has suffered since I moved in; is it the cause?
Yes, it definitely causes trouble; a peepal tree there harms health. If the house were rented you could simply leave; since it is your own, give it on rent and live elsewhere.
What should be done if a door falls in a wrong zone?
Draw the swastiks taught for it on both sides of the door, as your vastu expert advises.
My house entry is in the SSW and my 10th house has Sun, Mercury, Moon and Ketu with an exalted Venus; can I move the entry to the South-East?
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.
Do the main door rules apply to the outer boundary gate too?
The boundary gate carries only about 10 percent weight. The door through which you enter the house itself is the main door; the outer one is just the boundary-wall gate.
Can a Sun picture be put in its direction when the Sun is in a kendra (7th house) with low degrees?
Jupiter is at 0 degrees in my chart and Rahu is in the 12th at 0 degrees; what should I do?
Chant the beej mantra of Jupiter (the beej mantras were shared in the group); it is the simplest method. Do Rahu's beej mantra too; Rahu and Ketu are shadow planets, so when Rahu is treated Ketu is treated as well.
The kesar swastiks I made in my shop have faded and almost disappeared; what does it mean?
If a kesar swastik's colour fades away, that place has more negativity. Treat the negativity of that spot.
