Quick answer. A yantra is a geometric diagram associated with a particular planet or deity, used as a focus for practice and placed in the home. This consultation identifies which yantra or crystal suits your chart, specifies placement and direction, and sets out the mantra and upkeep. Yantras are energised before use.
Choosing and placing a yantra properly
A yantra is a precise geometric form — the Sri Yantra, the Navagraha yantras, the Kuber yantra and others — used in this tradition as a support for practice and as a presence in the home. It is not decoration, and a yantra bought as an ornament and hung wherever there was a free wall is not doing what it is for.
Which yantra suits you follows from your chart. A Shani yantra addresses an afflicted Saturn; a Kuber yantra concerns wealth and is chosen when the second and eleventh houses call for it; the Sri Yantra is general and is the one most often recommended for a household. Selecting on the basis of what looks appealing, or what a shop had in stock, is how most people end up with one that has no bearing on their situation.
Placement matters as much as selection. Direction, height, the room, what it faces and what it must not face are all specified, and the guidance here follows both the yantra's own requirements and the vastu of your particular home. A yantra placed opposite a bathroom door or below waist height is, in traditional terms, not placed at all.
Crystals are addressed on the same basis where clients ask about them, with the same caution as gemstones: what is worn or kept close should suit the chart. Master Vijay Ram does not sell yantras or crystals. He tells you which to obtain, and energises it with the appropriate mantra once you have it.
A clear, caring path
How a yantra is chosen and set
The consultation reads the chart for what is actually needed, specifies where the yantra or crystal should be placed and facing, then energises it and sets the accompanying practice. Placement is specific, and a yantra left unplaced or unenergised is treated as ornament rather than practice.
Read the chart for what is needed
The planets requiring support in your chart determine which yantra is appropriate. General-purpose recommendations are avoided where a specific one is indicated.
Specify placement precisely
Room, direction, height and orientation are given, taking account of your home's layout, along with what the yantra should not face.
Energise and set the practice
The yantra is energised with its mantra, and you are given the daily or weekly observance that maintains it, along with how to keep it clean and undisturbed.
Do any of these sound familiar?
When people ask about yantras
Often follows a chart reading rather than preceding one.
- You own a yantra and are unsure whether it is placed correctly
- A chart reading recommended a yantra and you want it set up properly
- You want a protective presence in a new home
- A business premises needs something for prosperity and stability
- You have bought a Sri Yantra and nobody explained the practice
- You want to know whether a crystal you were given suits your chart
Your questions, answered
Crystal & Yantra Reading — your questions answered
In traditional practice, yes. An unenergised yantra is regarded as a diagram rather than an active support. The energising is done with the appropriate mantra, and Master Vijay Ram performs it or teaches you to, depending on the yantra.
It depends on which yantra and on your home. Generally it sits in a clean, elevated position, facing an auspicious direction, away from bathrooms and shoe storage. The specific placement is given as part of the consultation rather than as a general rule.
No. You are told exactly what to obtain and where such items are usually available, and the energising is done once you have it. As with gemstones, not selling what is prescribed keeps the recommendation trustworthy.
Keep it clean, keep it in the place and orientation specified, and maintain whatever short daily practice was set with it. It should not be moved between rooms casually or stored away and brought out occasionally.
Yes. Where you already have the yantra, the energisation and the practice that goes with it are set by phone, video or WhatsApp, with the placement explained precisely.
