Method of drawing Yantra

The tantras have directed the devotee to begin the special worship of the deity of his own choice on an auspicious day. By keeping full control over his characteristic of the body organs the devotee shall lie down on the uncovered ground. Havisya would remain his food and he should always be engaged in the reverberation of mantras.

Before start of his everyday worship he should ask, “How shall this yantra written by me be?” Then the deity should be worshipped. The devotee would witness the required dream on the night of the third day as to whether it is Siddha, Saddhya, Susiddha or Satrubhuta. He shall never endeavour to write Satrubhuta (that is enimical). He can never write any of the others. In case no dream is forthcoming, the devotee shall never write the unfavourable one but only the others.

General procedure regarding all the Yantras

The writing materials used for writing the Yantras are:- Agar, tagar, gorochan, jatamansi, safeed chandan, lal chandan, Kessar. All these items are grounded well to form Ashat Gandh powder. It is mixed with water of Ganges (or of any sacred river) to form ink. For making ashat Drava (eight liquids) Ikshu, sattu, banana, chiuda, sesame seeds, modak, coconut and lava of rice is used.

2. The word intended victim ending in the genitive case should be written on the middle Bija. The Saadhya (person or activity) in the Accusative shall be written beneath it. The word Kuru is written twice in the sides.

5. If the object on which Yantra is to be written is not mentioned, then it shall be written on Bhojpatra, silk cloth or palm leaf, folded up and tied up with a thread.
