How can a puja room in the South-East be corrected?
If it holds a consecrated (pratishthit) idol, the idol should be moved. If the idol is not consecrated, there is no need to worry, as these rules apply to consecrated idols.
Can a photo of God be put up in the Brahmasthan?
Yes, there is no problem in putting God's photo in the Brahmasthan, because it is the place of Brahma.
If the master bedroom is in the South-West, can ancestors' photos be put up in it?
No. Ancestors' photos should not be put inside the bedroom, even when the bedroom is in the South-West.
Do paintings or decorative idols of God also need correct placement?
Yes, they also represent a planet and should be placed correctly. A consecrated God's photo should face North or East, or West if that is not possible, but never South; South-facing is for the photos of ancestors who have left this world.
If the mandir on the study table faces East, we would face West. Is that right?
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.
Can a mandir face North or West?
A North-facing mandir is fine; temples of God are often kept North-facing. A West-facing mandir is moderate.
Can a temple built in the wrong zone be treated?
Yes. However wrong the zone, merely correcting the direction of the deity corrects your condition; the full method is given in the next class.
During Diwali puja the deity faces South and we face North. Is that right?
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.
Should the deity's clothes follow the colour of the zone?
No, do not become obsessive about it. A small red cloth in the Ishaan does not put fire there; the effect comes only when the whole zone is made red. Nobody skips puja because they are wearing red clothes.
Is it acceptable for the front door to face a temple?
If there is no road in between, it is wrong. If a road runs between the door and the temple, the dosh ends.
Will an AC or cooler in the South-East cool down its fire element?
No. An AC or cooler is cooled by electricity, not by ice; when the power goes it stops. It runs on electricity and so represents the fire element, which suits the SE. Place coolers in the same zones as ACs.
A washing machine uses water, so why can it go in the South-East?
What runs it is electricity, which represents fire; the kitchen in the SE also has water. So a washing machine can go in the SE, ESE, SSE and also the North-West.
Can a globe be kept on the study table?
Yes, there is no problem in keeping a globe.
Where should the oil tank be in a food factory?
It should not be underground; keep it overhead, in the West direction.
Where should family photos be put?
Anywhere except the South and SSW zones, on a wall where everyone's face looks North, that is, on the South wall. The living face the direction of life; only the departed are made to face Yama in the South.
If the office flooring is already done, how can quartz be used?
Do not break anything. Fill a glass bowl with plenty of quartz, add water and leave it for the whole day; next day mop the office with that water. The office gets energised and the energy flow increases. A bowl of quartz can also be kept on the table.
Can a black statue of Buddha be kept?
A statue of Lord Buddha can be kept, but not a Laughing Buddha.
Where should a doctor sit?

Can a Khajuraho statue be kept?

Should the study table also be of solid wood?
Yes, the table at which children study should be made of solid wood.
Can quartz be kept in the drawing room?
Yes. Quartz and pyramids can be used in all directions and all zones except the bathroom, which needs no extra energy.
Do these stones need to be cleansed?
Yes. They are first cleaned with sea salt, then charged, energised with a mantra and given a command for their purpose.
Can a Laughing Buddha be kept at home?
No. Einstein is said to have wished at the end of his life to be born in India to research its sacred soil, the land of the Tirthankaras, Ram, Mahavir and Hanuman. Indians need not keep meat-eating foreign deities such as the Laughing Buddha or the Chinese Fuk Luk Sau; keep portraits or statues of Ram, Hanuman or Mahavir instead, and do not let them be dwarfed by such figures.
In a gaushala the cows keep falling sick one after another. What should be done?
The energy of that place is certainly disturbed, so correct its energy, for example through mercury injection.
Where should a construction company's office be?
Construction belongs to Mangal, so the office should be in the South zone, with its door in the East.
