Where can a septic tank be made?
Can a septic tank be in the East?
Can a septic tank be placed under the stairs?
Can a septic tank be made in the North-West?

Yes, but only if it includes the WNW portion, for example 70% in WNW and 25 to 30% in NW. It then gives the results of WNW.

In a factory, where should the water used by labour be stored?

In the same places prescribed for underground and overhead water tanks; there is no separate location, whether the water is for the labour or for the owner.

Can a swimming tank above floor level be made in the North or North-West?

Yes. Above floor level it works in the North and in the North-West, and in the North-West it can also be built high up like an overhead tank. A tank at ground floor that is raised, with no pit, is acceptable.

Is a dirty water drainage chamber in the North-East, nine feet below floor level, acceptable?

When a chamber or tank goes deep enough, below navel level, it does not attract dosh, because in the human body, which follows vastu, the dirty matter also lies below the navel. A dirty chamber near the surface is not acceptable.

If the main door is on a negative pad, does a clockwise or anti-clockwise route to the boundary gate change its results?

Yes. A correctly placed door with an anti-clockwise (heen bahu) exit gives fewer good results than it should. A door on a negative pad such as E5 or E6, whose route runs clockwise to a gate on W4 or W5, gives much less negative effect than the pad alone would.

What if there is a well inside the house?

A well inside the house gives good results when it is in the right direction and bad results when it is in a wrong direction.

Which gems make up the panch ratna?

The gems of the benefic planets, with the Sun also counted as benefic here: the gems of the Sun, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus.

We live in a housing society and do not know where the boring or septic tank is. Will it still affect us?

Yes. Not knowing makes no difference: the sun gives its rays whether or not someone believes in it, and a person who knows nothing of vastu still gets its doshas. A wrongly placed tank, boring, septic tank or sewer line affects the residents whether they know about it or not.

How should an old well be closed?

A well older than 25 years is a seat of Varun devta and must not simply be filled in. Do the vastu registry with a coconut, asking the deities of the well to enter it, do three pradakshina, and after a few hours leave the coconut in another well in daily use. Lower a kalash marked with a swastik and filled with haldi and other items, add soil or sand of five rivers (or sea sand), and fill the well with good soil.

Is it right to have the samadhi of a father inside the boundary wall?
Is an overhead tank right in NNW, and should it be in the South-West or the North-West?

Not in NNW. An overhead tank can be built from the West up to the North-West; making it in the South-West, as many people do, is wrong. Build it in the North-West.

If the Sun is debilitated (neech) in the horoscope, is an E4 door right?
Is a glass panel fixed above the door for light included in the door height for aay?

No. The chaukhat is the four-piece frame, and a window or glass above it is not counted in the door aay, because fixed glass stays closed; glass that opens and closes would be counted. Fixed glass above a door is itself used as a remedy.

Is a permanently covered pit outside the gate still a problem?

No. If the pit outside the gate is permanently covered, it causes no problem.

Can an overhead tank be built over the staircase?

Only if the stairs are in the North-West; otherwise not. Basically an overhead tank should not be built over the stairs, because hydro currents move as you walk below it and the mind becomes unsettled.

How is lime (choona) put into the land?

Lime is dissolved and spread over the whole land at the bottom. The complete method is taught with the 16 sanskar of land.

For depth at an entrance in the North, is one big mirror better, or will design pieces do?

Use one whole mirror on the North wall. Do not join small pieces of mirror for a design; that turns mangal (auspicious) into amangal.

Like a well, should a furnace (bhatti) also not be closed without the permission of Agni devta?

Yes, a carelessly closed bhatti can ruin a whole generation. Dig out the soil all around it and throw it away, and only then close it.

A North window has its shutter kept closed. Can the shutter be removed and a jali (mesh) fitted?

Yes. The North results then start coming, though not fully; you get as much as is open. Through a window only air comes in, whereas people come in through the door.

A bungalow has a good North entry but a semi-basement in SE, SSE and the South, with its entrance from inside. What will happen?

Even with good doors, if the basement is wrong, the house gets the results of that wrong basement.

Can a swimming pool be made in the West?

At a large scale it works: a city may have a river, lake or pond in its West, and a big industrial unit may have a large pond in the West, the place of Varun devta.

Is a staircase going downward in front of the main door a dwar vedh?

Yes, stairs right in front of the main door are wrong even when they go downward.
