Geometry of Ganesh Yantra

Lord Ganesh is the deity of wisdom, knowledge, literature and fine arts. The Ganesh yantra is created according to the set lagna and muhurta. The yantra consists of six triangles closed on all the sides along with a central triangle which binds inside. In the earlier times the yantras were embossed on a palm leaf or a bhojpatra. It was a belief that a yantra imprinted on a palm leaf or bhojpatra is pure and the best. Even today a person can get the Ganesh yantra on a bhojpatra which is now laminated for a long life. Ganesh yantra is also available on a copper plate which can also be purchased with gold plating. A person can also wear the Ganesh yantra around his neck in the form of a silver pendant.

Puja Process of Ganesh Yantra

Ganesh yantra can be worshiped everyday for the best results. The person who performs the mantra process is known as the Sadhak. The sadhak has to remember certain points while placing and worshipping the Ganesh yantra. Prior to beginning the mantra process he must free his mind of all the tension and negative thoughts and he must take a bath. Only with a clean and pure mind and body can he perform the mantra process in a right manner. He must find a quiet spot to place the Ganesh yantra. The yantra can be established in the workplace or at home and the spot where it is placed must face either east or north direction.

The sadhak must keep in mind that no one but him should touch the yantra plate. He must wash it with rose water or milk prior to starting the mantra process. After cleaning the yantra he must make dots in the centre and on the four corners of the yantra plate from sandalwood paste. The sadhak must offer fresh fruits and flowers to the Lord’s Table and also light a lamp beside the yantra.
