- Energized Yantras are immediately “tuned in and turned on” so to speak. The ritual of energizing Yantras with a puja or installation ritual, ensures you to receive maximum benefit from the moment of installation and you will feel an immediate sense of peace and joy and a lightness in the atmosphere. You may also feel more energised.
- Each Vastu Yantra awards you with its unique gifts. Each directional avatar (Lord) can bless you with qualities that are missing in your life. ( They are summarised at the back of each yantra)
- You may experience a range of positive experiences over a course of time; such as a shift in a mental block or release from depression as well attainment of your specific desire. The process is as unique as we are individuals, there are no hard and fast rules.
- If the yantra installation procedure seems too difficult, then you may offer only one or more of the mentioned items. The primary ingredient of a successful installation is the mantra recital (see mantra card in yantra set ). It activates the yantra by invoking its presiding Personality, just as you do when you call upon someone to help you.
- The sincerity of your chanting is effectually as potent as the success of your transformation and you are not limited to chanting just three mantras. As with most things, the more energy you put into it the better the result. (see footnote)
- You can play the specially designed Vastu Sacred Mantras Cd as a pronunciation guide to the mantras. The sacred sounds create a conducive mood for installing your yantras.
- The yantras do not ever yield any negativity, however meditating on any negativity in your life just yields more negativity so be wary to avoid this by focusing on the positive aspects of life that you want to achieved
- Some factors determine their success; especially in regards to the sincerity of the Yantra owner. There may well be will be issues to work out and experiences to be had before you can achieve your desire.
- By installing a Vastu Yantra however, you have some steps to cleansing your karma and creating an opening for new possibilities in your life.
- You can maintain the potency of the yantras by ‘charging’ them up with chanting its mantra, either everyday (it only takes a few seconds) or at regular intervals or whenever you feel inspired to.
The Northwest-The Direction of Relationships
The Quality
The Northwest, under the sway of the Moon, governs your emotional and mental stability. The Moon represents the female principle in the universe and therefore forms the polar opposite of the Sun. The Sun represents the self of the cosmos and the Moon its spirit. The polarity of the Sun and the Moon can also be found in love and willpower, activity and passivity, mind and body etc. The Moon influences your emotional and mental well-being and also affects your intellectual capabilities. The Northwest area influences the quality of your relationships but equally it affects the success of your business endeavours; since communications, personal interaction and exchange of ideas are fundamental building blocks to your expanding business.
The Do’s
Do draw upon the colours from the Vasudev yantra when deciding the colours to use for your interior decor and especially cream and whites are compatible for the Northwest. The Best use of the Northwest:
- It is helpful to maintain a flow of activity i.e. as much movement as possible here. This is conducive for generating the vital element ‘Air’ to flow and get important projects moving ahead.
- It is well suited as a guest reception, or a recreational or social room
- A Guest room
- Bookkeeping in a home office
- Trading /Sales
- Family meetings; since this is a great area for creativity and exchanging ideas
- Daily Pantry
- Playroom
- Children’s bedroom
The Don’ts
- Avoid keeping heavy immovable items in the Northwest since the air element needs space for circulation.
- No clutter
- Any fire element here will increase your expenses but of course electricity is unavoidable since it is everywhere, so try to avoid electrical heaters and fireplaces.
- Please try to avoid any missing Northwest segments and corners in the structure of building
- Northwest building extensions which cause it to be further extended than the rest of the building are inauspicious.

The Vastu Remedies
Improve your relationships and the quality and effectiveness with which you communicate and exchange ideas. Utilise Vastu tools for generating and amplifying all the positive energies mentioned above. You may not be able to utilise the positive functions for the Northwest area but you can take some remedial steps to realign your space.
- Install the Vasudev Yantra (see figure at top of page) at an auspicious day and time or on any Monday.
- Attune yourself with the energy of this Yantra and Mantra and you can learn to harness the lower mind and access your higher mind.
- Strategically place either the activated Vastu Pyramid or the Meru Chakra and Sri Yantra on the Northwest point of your home.

Positive Vastu here can create an environment that is supportive for healthy relationships by helping you be more in touch with your creativity and intuition. You can also be awarded success in business endeavours as well as have mental and emotional stability and other positive health benefits listed in organs above.
Invite Love through Vastu
My Spiritual Master, Gurudeva, always says, “We can survive without food for a few weeks, and without water for a few days, and without air for a few minutes, but without love and affection we cannot survive even a single moment.”
Love is an intrinsic part of our soul therefore it is natural we are always seeking it. Sadhus, saints and spiritually evolved mystics try to find it within the heart through spiritual revelations. Most of us search for it outside of ourselves within relationships.
What makes relationships successful and fulfilling?
Various cultures have their ideas about how relationships are played out and what is considered successful or acceptable. An example of this is demonstrated by an interesting encounter I had at a restaurant in the holy town of Vrindavan, India. An elderly Indian gentleman sitting with his wife on a nearby table looked over and very curiously questioned me, “Is it true that in the Western countries husbands and wives have secrets from each other?” He seemed to be horrified at the thought. They had married at a young age and I can say with full confidence, they will not be getting a divorce.
What is their secret? When two people join together as husband and wife and become a unit, a team or an entity in and of itself. The relationship then becomes one of catering to the needs of this new entity. In this way both partners can be nurtured and supported, rather than trying to behave as two autonomous individuals as you would with a separatist mentality. In a true team spirit even when there are reasons for personal antagonism or conflict, the long term commitment to the unit or entity can override the dissension, with healing, therapy and love. Similar goals, aspirations, and lifestyles can support the compatibility of the ‘unit’. Respect and honest, open communication are the foundation of a long-term healthy relationship. We see this in any truly successful organisation; people work together as a team, each member of the team supporting the whole with his or her own contribution.
