Quick Start: 9 Steps to Activate Any Yantra
- Clean space: Wipe the surface with water + a pinch of salt.
- Face the right direction (see table below).
- Set a lamp: Use ghee for Sun/Moon/Jupiter; sesame/mustard oil for Saturn/Rahu/Ketu; til or neutral oil for Mars, Mercury, Venus.
- Offer flowers: Color-match the planet if possible; fresh or clean silk petals.
- Add a small donation intention: Promise a ₹11 or $1 seva aligned to the planet (education for Jupiter, art for Venus, etc.).
- Chant 9 or 27 times: Use the short mantra in the table—steady breath, soft voice.
- Place the yantra: Flat on a clean cloth or framed on the wall at chest height.
- Close with gratitude: One deep breath; thank the planet and your teachers.
- Log the placement: Note date, time, and feelings so you can review after 4 weeks.

FAQs
Do I need metal plates?
Paper, copper, brass, or crystal yantras all work. Keep them clean and undamaged.
Can I place multiple yantras together?
Yes, keep some spacing. Group Sun, Jupiter, Mercury in cleaner/lit zones; keep Saturn/Rahu/Ketu slightly apart in calmer, lower-light areas.
What if I cannot light a lamp?
Use a battery tea-light and add a sincere mantra round plus charity. Intention and cleanliness matter most.
How long before I see changes?
Give each placement 40 days. Track mood, focus, and habits; adjust charity and mantra counts if needed.
