Description of Kamala Yantra
The yantra is the basis of this Sadhana because it is fully energized to give the beneficial results. It is mentioned in Kamala Tantra that this yantra must be created on a copper sheet only. It is also mentioned in Kamala Tantra that a yantra which is not energized with the Tantrokt procedures is useless. Twelve rituals have been mentioned to be performed for the creation of this yantra and then only the yantra can be made effective.
Sadhana Procedure:
This Sadhana can be performed on the eight day of the lunar month or on any Wednesday. Sadhak must wake up early in the morning and take a bath. He should collect all the articles like water tumbler, saffron, unbroken rice grains, coconut, fruits, sweet made of milk, flowers etc. Usage of ashtagandha holds great significance in this Sadhana, so the sadhak should get it beforehand and create a paste of it with water.
Place two wooden seats in front of you and cover it with yellow cloth. Take the yantra and bath it with water. Next bath it with Panchaamrita (milk, curd, ghee, honey and sugar) and then again bath it with water. Next place Goddess Ganapati in a separate plate. Now place the NavaGraha in the form of 9 beetel nuts on the other wooden seat. Take a plate and cover it with yellow cloth. Make sixteen marks on this cloth by making a 4×4 row column matrix i.e. 4 dots in one row and create 4 such rows.
Offer one clove and cardamom on each dot and worship it with ashtagnadha. Now join your hands and meditate on the form of the Goddess.
Now place Lak shmi Padma Shankh chanting “Om Namah Shivaaya” in front of the yantra and put some unbroken rice grains and flower on your head. Now place the Kamala Yantra on the plate where you made sixteen marks and similarly make sixteen marks on the yantra with ashtagandha.
Place all the 12 Jyoti Ratna around the yantra which represents various forms of the Goddess. Next take some flowers and rice grains in your hands and invoke the Goddess.
Now light a ghee lamp and worship it. After that light an incense stick and then offer vermillion, flowers, garland, unbroken rice grains, sweet, fruit and some money to the yantra. Now take the Lakshmi Var-Varad rosary and worship it with vermillion, flowers and unbroken rice grains. This rosary is energized with special mantras and is indeed very fortunate to get such a rosary in life. Next the sadhak should light sixteen ghee lamps and then chant 5 rounds of the following mantra sitting at that place only.
Kamala Mantra
|| Om Ayiem Eem Hreem Shreem Kleem Hsauh Jagatprasootyei Namah ||
Perform Lakshmi Aarti after completion of the mantra chanting. Keep the yantra and shankh in your worship place and wear the rosary around your neck.
