Lakshmi Yantra Puja

Mahalakshmi Yantra Puja

Shri Mahalakshmi Yantra Puja

There are several Yantra(s) of Goddess Lakshmi but on this page we have given Yantra Puja Vidhi for
Saptavinshakshar (सप्तिवं शाक्षर) Mantra of Goddess Lakshmi. This Saptavinshakshar Yantra is the most powerful
among all Yantra of Goddess Lakshmi.

The Saptavinshakshar Mantra of Goddess Lakshmi, which is the Mool Mantra of Mahalakshmi Yantra, is ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं
श्रीं कमले कमलालये प्रसीद प्रसीद ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं श्रीं महालक्ष्मयै नम:॥.

On this page we have given the detailed ritualistic Puja Vidhi to perform Lakshmi Yantra Puja. Lakshmi 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 herself.
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
Lakshmi Yantra Puja, the days of Lakshmi Puja, Dhanteras and Pushya Nakshatra are considered
auspicious.
2.
3. 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.
4.
5. A correctly casted Lakshmi Yantra would have Bindu i.e. the dot in the central, Shatkona i.e. a hexagonal
concentric with dot, Ashtadala i.e. a lotus flower with eight leaves concentric with dot and hexagonal. The
dot, hexagonal and Ashtadala should be surrounded by four doors in all four directions. These outer doors
are known as Bhupur Dwar of Yantra.
6.
7. Avarana Puja is most significant during Yantra worship. During Avarana Puja, Yantra is worshipped with
total 49 Mantras. The number 49 relates to the figures drawn on Yantra. The first Avarana Puja is dedicated
 to Shatkona (with 5 Mantra), second Avarana Puja is dedicated to inner Ashtadala (with 8 Mantra), third
Avarana Puja is dedicated to millde Ashtadala (with 8 Mantra), fourth Avarana Puja is dedicated to outer
Ashtadala (with 8 Mantra), the fifth Avarana Puja is dedicated to 10 directions (with 10 Mantra) and the
sixth Avarana Puja is dedicated to protector of 10 directions (with 10 Mantra).
8.
9. Hence, 5 + 8 + 8 + 8 + 10 + 10 makes 49 which is the total number of Mantra chanted during Avarana Puja.
Sometimes, Lakshmi Yantra is numbered from 1 to 49 to make Puja easy. However these numbers are
drawn for academic purpose only and can be avoided on Yantra.

10. Yantra Pujanam (यन्त्र पूजनम्)

Before staring Yantra Puja, it is mandatory to perform Japam depending on the Mantra of the deity
associated with the Yantra. Lakshmi Yantra is worshipped with "Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Kamale
Kamalalaye Praseed Praseed Om Shreem Hreem Shreem Mahalakshmaye Namah॥" Mantra. As this
Mahalakshmi Mantra is Saptavinshakshar (सप्तिवं शाक्षर) Mantra, it should be chanted one Lakh (i.e.
1,000,00) times before starting Yantra Puja.
11.
12. If Mantra Japam is done along with Hawan while offering Aahuti after each Mantra then it increases the
effectiveness of Japam manifolds.
13.
14. Frist of all, invoke main Yantra deity i.e. Goddess Lakshmi and offer Her Asana and Pushpa while chanting
Om Kamalasanaya Namah. Now Yantravarana Devata should be worshipped with Akshata, flower,
Dhoop, Deep and Gandha. Tarpan should be done along with each Mantra in all Avarana Puja. The Mantra
for Tarpan is Shree Padukam Pujayami Tarpayami. Before starting Avarana Puja, Peetha Puja should be
done as following -
