Shri Yantra Puja
Shri Yantra Puja
Shri
Yantra is installed at Puja altar and home. It is believed that Goddess
Lakshmi herself resides in the Yantra if She is invoked with full Vedic rituals
during Yantra Prana Pratishtha. Once Yantra is installed with full Vedic
rituals, it is worshipped daily as the personification of Goddess Lakshmi
itself.
1. Yantroddhara (यन्त्रोद्धार)
It is very significant to use correct Yantra for Puja. Without correct Yantra,
the purpose of Yantra worship would not be fulfilled. Yantra Puja needs
Muhurat and should be done on an auspicious day and time. For Shri Sukta
Yantra Puja, the days of Lakshmi Puja and Dhanteras are considered
auspicious.
Yantra can be drawn on Bhojpatra with red Chandan. However, Yantra made
of Gold, Silver and Copper are mostly used for Puja as those can be kept in
Puja room for daily worship.
A correctly casted Shri Yantra would have Bindu i.e. the dot in the
central, Trikona i.e. a triangle concentric with dot, Ashtadala i.e. a lotus
flower with eight leaves concentric with dot and triangle, two Dashadala i.e.
a lotus flower with ten leaves outside Astadala, Chaturdashadala i.e. a
lotus flower with fourteen leaves, outside the two Dashadala Then again
make one Ashtadala and Shodashadala outside Ashtadala. After
Shodashadala, three circles should be made and at last all the described
steps should be surrounded by four doors in all four directions. These outer
doors are known as Bhupur Dwar of Yantra.
2. Peetha Devata Puja (पीठ देवता पूजा)
Now after Yantroddhara, one should worship Peetha Devata begin with
Mantra "Om Mam Mandukadi Paratattvanta Peetha Devatabhyo
Namah।".
1. Om Ichchhaya Namah।
2. Om Jnanayai Namah।
3. Om Kriyaya Namah।
4. Om Kaminyai Namah।
5. Om Kamadayinyai Namah।
6. Om Ratyai Namah।
7. Om Ratipriyayai Namah।
8. Om Nandayai Namah।
9. Madhye - Om Manonmanyai Namah।
4. Avahana (आवाहन)
Now one should invoke Yantravarana Devata into the Madhya Bindu i.e the
center dot of the Yantra while chanting following Mantra.
Svagurukrama (स्वगुरुक्रम)
Now perform Tarpan of four traditional Gurus with their names.
Nityayen (नित्यायें)
Perform Pujan and Tarpan of sixteen Nityas (१६ नित्यायें) around the Madhya
Bindu.
