Vastu Pooja Room

The problems in the sense is where should be the pooja room as per Vastu, in which location it was constructed etc has to be counted for evaluation. In Vastu every point is important.

We understand resident Vaastu problems, in case if residents require to keep God idols only towards East, then they may use the wooden open platform which is very lesser in weight and open to see the below of that platform, it's just like a stool type or small bench, etc.

In such case, God idols face towards West direction and residents will be facing towards East direction. This is also a good ideas as per Vasthu.

If Pooja room located towards Southwest direction then it won't give good results. Vaasthu may not accept it.

( Here is a Story on Ganga and Shiva and our mythology):- Gangotri is a town and a Nagar Panchayat in Uttarkashi district in the state of Uttarakhand, India. It is a Hindu pilgrim town on the banks of the river Bhagirathi. It is on the Greater Himalayan Range, at a height of 3,042 m.

The picturesque pilgrimage in the hinterlands of the Himalayas is the most sacred spot where Ganga, the stream of life, touched the earth for the first time.

According to mythology, Goddess Ganga – the daughter of heaven, manifested herself in the form of a river to absolve the sins of King Bhagirath’s predecessors, following his severe penance of several centuries. Lord Shiva received her into his matted locks to minimize the immense impact of her fall. She came to be called Bhagirathi at her legendary source.

Mythological Relation

According to Hindu mythology, Goddess Ganga – the daughter of heaven, took the form of a river to absolve the sins of King Bhagirath’s predecessors, following his severe penance of several centuries. Lord Shiva received Ganga into his matted locks to minimize the impact of her fall.

According to this legend, King Sagar, after slaying, the demons on earth decided to stage in Ashwamegh Yagya as a proclamation of his supremacy.

The horse which was to be taken on an uninterrupted journey around the earth was to be accompanied by the King’s 60,000 sons born to Queen Sumati and one son Asmanjas born of the second queen Kesani.

Indra, supreme ruler of the gods feared that he might be deprived of his celestial throne if the ‘Yagya’ (worship with fire) succeeded and then took away the horse and tied it to the ashram of Sage Kapil, who was then in deep meditation. The sons of King Sagar searched for the horse and finally found it tied near the meditating sage.

Sixty thousand angry sons of King Sagar stormed the ashram of sage Kapil. When he opened his eyes, 60,000 sons had perished by the curse of sage Kapil.

Bhagirath, the grandson of King Sagar, is believed to have meditated to bring down the Ganga to cleanse the ashes of his ancestors and liberate their souls, granting them salvation or Moksha. The Bhagirathi ‘Shila’ is located near the temple of Ganga where the holy Ganga first descended on earth from heaven.

Vastu says many things for humans happy life with harmony. If residents have more spacious homes then they can easily follow the entire principles of vastu. Nowadays everybody acknowledges that there is a lack of space and people are living in tiny home (Home vastu) / Flats.

With the available area of space, we have to accommodate everything. As per your question, this is not a problem. You may continue with the same. If there is possible then change this system of Toilet exactly opposite to Pooja room. As you already told the toilet door is not exactly opposite to the pooja room, then no need to worry.
