About Divine Narmada Bana Lingas (Narmadeshwar Shiva Lingas) – FAQs

Sacred Narmada Bana Lingam Pendant

What are Bana Lingas ?

The Bana Lingam is a most Sacred Symbol and Divine Energy Tool, both in the ancient and in this modern world and it comes with the loftiest frequency of vibrations (compared to any stone on Earth) and appears from only one place on the entire Planet of Earth – in the cradles of Holy River Narmada. The Bana Lingas are Swayambhu Shiva Lingas that have taken shape in the Sacred Narmada River, in the Central Western part of India. This is why the Bana Lingams are also known as the Narmada Banalingas or Narmadeshwar Shiva Lingas.

The Narmadha Bana Lingas became very famous throughout the world, after the film “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” was screened : this is the very same Sacred Stone that they were searching for !

The Sacred Narmada River is one of the Sapta Gangas – Seven Holy Rivers of India. The Hindustani Legends identify it with “Reva” of epic celebrity, which is described as the “sweat” flowing out of Lord Shiva’s own body when he performed his Cosmic Dance “Thandhava” and therefore considered as holiest of rivers. It’s waters are of such purifying quality that the polluted River Ganges makes an yearly visit to the Narmada in the form of a black cow or a dark woman for a purifying dip in the Sacred Narmada River, to cleanse her collected sins ! On the river bank of the Narmada is the Omkareshwar, the most famous among the twelve Jyothirlingas.

Many Vedic Scriptures propound that the natural Narmada Banalingas are self-manifest respresentations of Lord Shiva. What Salagramas are to Lord Maha Vishnu that Narmada Bana Lingas are to Lord Shiva.

The Composition & Symbolism of Narmada Bana Lingas :

The Shiva Lingas that are formed in the River Narmada contain Crypto Crystalline Quartz (masses made up of either fibrous or granular aggregates of tiny, microscopic Quartz Crystals) and a Gemstone material called Chalcedony (with an iron oxide and geothite inclusion) alongwith Basalt and Agate – this unique composition coupled with elliptical shape has a precise resonance in alignment with our Energy Centers or Chakras and are used for thousands of years as Divine Energy Generators for Cleansing, Healing and for Meditation. The Narmada Bana Lingas are quite strong and the hardness is a 7 on the Moe’s Scale.

It is the considered view of many researchers and geologists that the unique composition of the Narmadha Shiva Lingas was due to the impregnation of it’s rocky river-sides and the rocks in the river bed, 14 million years ago by a large meteorite that crashed into the Narmada River. The fusion of the Meteorite and the Earthly Minerals has spawned a new and unique type of Crystalline Rock with extraordinary energetic qualities – the Narmada Bana Lingam.

Over a period of time, the impregnated rocks split into rock bits and pebbles and were moulded by the strong and forceful currents of the Narmada River which naturally tumbled and produced perfectly shaped and polished Shivalingams. As the Narmada River has strong currents and accessable only during dry seasons, certain families (who hold the “rights” ancestorily for doing this, and passed down through generations and have been traditionally trained, to identify only the most special stones) are allowed to harvest the stones from the river once a year after a special ceremony while the river is low, when the stones may be more easily collected. Once collected, these Sacred Stones are finally hand-polished with a waxy butter – a mystic mixture of mud, dung, natural oils, special herbs and wax by specially trained artisans to bring out the natural markings which are inherent in their composition and a unique, soft glow. This is much like a diamond cutter who cuts rough material to bring out the best in the diamond. The holy waters of the River Narmada protect these rounded bed rocks within its darkness, and when polished as per the prescription, their inner beauty is revealed to us. The Narmadeshwar Shivalingas are quite tough and take a good polish, when cabbed.

The Narmada Bana Lingam’s upright egg shape represents the Pure Consciousness of Lord Shiva and the Holy Markings on the Sacred Stone (which differ greatly from stone to stone) represent the interactive aspect of Goddess Shakti (The Holy Consort of Lord Shiva), the Divine Seed which is fertilized to manifest the Creative Power in the Dance of the Cosmos. Together, they represent the Union  of the Supreme Male and Supreme Female Energies – Shiva and Shakti : Shiva Sakthi, the Wholeness and Oneness. It should also be understood that  the Narmada Shiva Lingam represents the Divine Blending of Knowledge (Shiva) and Wisdom (Shakthi). This is the very same concept expressed by the “Yin” and “Yang” Concept of another Eastern Wisdom from the Orient. There is a school of thought that considers that this is a way of transitioning between Murthis (Formed Shapes) and the Formless. The Sacred Shiva Lingam is widely considered to be the “Form of the Formless”.  According to Vedic Texts, the Narmada Shiva Lingas illustrate Harmony through Duality and represent Power, Creation and the Physical Plane or Grounding of those who have these Divine Energy Tools. The Narmadeshwar Shiva Lingams, because of their divine vibrations, are popularly called as “Cosmic Eggs” by NewAge Metaphysical Practitioners. They are also identified subconsciously with our physical origin, an embryo – the Holy Embryo : Divine Creative Manifestation of the Sacred Soul.

Vedic Legends about Origin of Narmada Bana Lingas :

There are many legends about the origin of the Bana Lingas and their association with the Narmada, in the Puranic Texts like Aparajita-pariprchchha, Yajnavalkya Samhita, Mathsaya Purana (Chapter 5), Hari Vamsa (Vishnu Parva – Chapter 173) and Bhagavatha Purana (10th Skandha – Chapter 62), with slightly varying accounts. Two of the most popular ones are narrated below :

Legend 1 :

The Asura Raja (Demon King) Bana was the eldest of the one hundred sons of Bali – Bali was the son of King Virochana, the grandson of Prahaladha (the famous devotee of Lord Maha Vishnu’s incarnation, Lord Narasimha) and the great grandson of King Hiranyakasipu. King Banasura himself was a great devotee of Lord Shiva and to seek the Divine Blessings of Lord Shiva, he performed severe penances for a long time, in the Holy Himalayas, invoking Lord Shiva’s favour. Finally Lord Shiva appeared in answer to his austerities and agreed to grant him a boon. Banasura wished for himself One Thousand Arms carrying a multitude of weapons to destroy his enemies and desired that Goddess Parvathi consider him as her own son – he was bestowed with what he asked. Drunk with power and arrogance, the Demon King started torturing all the three worlds. Honouring the requests of the Devas and Lord Indra, Lord Krishna (an incarnation of Lord Maha Vishnu) severed all the one thousand arms and the weapons they were holding, with his Sri Sudharsana Chakra, the Divine Discus. However, Lord Shiva honoured the Demon King (who was, inspite of being an Asura, was an ardent devotee of Lord Shiva) by giving him his own representation in the form of Swayambu (natural, self-manifest) Shiva Linga, hence the name Bana Linga.

Legend 2 :

Once Lord Shiva wanted to destroy the Flying City of “Tripura”, which had been obtained as a Boon by the Demon Chieftian Banasura. So, Lord Shiva released a powerful and fiery arrow from his Divine Bow called “Pinaka”. The dart split and broke the “Three Puras” into tiny bits, which fell on Earth in 3 spots : (1) on the hills of Sri-Kshetra, which is of unknown identity to this day; (2) on the peaks of Amarakanthaka in the Vindhya ranges and (3) on the banks of the Sacred Narmada River. The bits that fell soon multiplied into crores, each bit becoming a Shiva Linga. As they formed part of the possession of the Banasura, they were called as Bana Linga. Amarakanthaka, the peak in Madhya Pradesh State of India, is in close proximity to the Source of the River Narmada, which according to the Puranic Texts, originates in the Vindhya Mountains 914 metres above the sea level, flows westward for 1,292 kilometres through Mandla and Jubbalpore Districts and joins the Arabian Sea in Cambay (Kambhat) near Bharoch in Gujarat State.

It should be noted here that the word “Bana” also means an arrow, a reed-shaft, cow’s udder and pike, quite independant of the legend concerning the Asura King Bana.

The import of these legends is that the Narmada Bana-Lingas are self-manifest forms (Swayambhu) of Lord Shiva and Goddess Sakthi and that they are therefore holier than any other aniconic forms of Lord Shiva.

What are the different types of Narmada Bana Lingas ?

There are many different types of Narmada Bana Lingas and depending upon the Sacred Markings and Holy Patterns over the body of the Linga, they are classified and their significance defined. However, please note that there is no necessity to make a micrographic study of the various types of Bana Lingas, to choose one for yourself – it is sufficient to take certain normal precautions listed at the end of this article.

The “Siddhanta Sekhara” states that the Bana Lingas picked up from the Holy River Narmada have been worshipped already by the Gods, especially by the Guardian Deities (Loka Pala) and the Sacred Stones are still said to contain the impress of such worship. There are Bana Lingas carrying the different marks characteristic of these Gods :

(1) Conch Shell mark on top (Samkhabha Mastaka) indicates it has been worshipped by Lord Maha Vishnu, the Protector of the Cosmos
(2) Lotus Mark (Padhma) denotes it was worshipped by Lord Brahma, the Creator of the Cosmos
(3) Parasol mark (Chharta) reveals it was worshipped by Lord Indra, the Ruler of the Deva World
(4) Heads mark (Siro Yugma) shows it was worshipped by Lord Agni, the Fire God
(5) Three Steps (Padha) denote it was worshipped by Lord Yama Khanda
(6) Mace mark (Ghadha) indicates it was worshipped by Lord Isana
(7) Water Vase mark (Khalasa) shows it was worshipped by Lord Varuna, the Water God
(8) Banner mark (Dhvaja) denotes it was worshipped by Lord Vayu, the God of Air

“Vira Mitrodaya”, the celebrated gloss on “Mitakshara” (which itself is a commentary by Vijnanesvara on Yajnavalkya’s “Dharma Shastra”), quotes “Kolottara” on the subject of distinguishing the characteristic marks on the various Bana Lingams. This text enumerates 9 varieties of Bana Linghas, 8 of them corresponding to the 8 Guardian Deities (Lok-Palas) and the 9th one called Vaishnava Bana Lingam :

(1) the Bana Lingas worshipped by Lord Devendra will fulfill all the desires and bestow sovereignty
(2) the Agneya Bana Linga will be rosy coloured and warm to touch and carries the mark of the weapon Sakthi
(3) the Yamya Bana Linga will have the form of a cudgel or of a tongue
(4) the Nairrti Bana Linga will look like a sword, carries stain on it’s body and will bestow the benefits of Jnana (Wisdom) and Yoga, however, it is not for the householder’s worship
(5) the Varuna Bana Linga will be round in shape and may be distinguished by the marks of a noose (Pasa) and will bring prosperity
(6) the Vayu Bana Linga will be of black colour or smoky complexioned or ash grey and will have the appearance of a flag post or may carry on it’s head the mark of a banner
(7) the Kaubhera Bana will be in the form of a quiver or noose or mace and there might be a hair like line in it’s centre
(8) the Raudhra Bana Linga will be lustrous like a block of ice and bears the marks of a bone or spear
(9) the Vaishnava Bana Linga will have the marks of Conch Shell or Discus or Lotus or Mace or Jewels on the Chest (Srivatsa and Kaustubha) or the foot prints of Lord Maha Vishnu and will have variegated colours

“Haemadhri” enumerates nine types of Bana Lingas  :

(1) Swayambhu – honey coloured with two dark rings
(2) Mrityunjaya – variegated colours with marks resembling spear and colis of matted hair
(3) Nilakantha – elongated and white coloured with a black spot
(4) Trilochana – white coloured with eye-like marks
(5) Kalagni Rudhra – lustrous and dark, stout with matted-hair like marks
(6) Tripurari – honey coloured with white marks resembling the sacrificial chord across and with lotus at the base
(7) Isana – clear crystal with the top twany brown and marks of a trident
(8) Ardhanariswara – white coloured on one side and red coloured on the other side
(9) Maha Kala – slightly red in hue, shining, stout and longish in shape

What are the colours of Bana Lingas ?

Each Bana Linga is unique with its own markings. The colour of the stone varies a lot, from grey to beige, to brown and a reddish brown. They may be honey coloured, white, blue, black or emerald-hued.

Are Bana Lingas worthy of Worship ?

Of the many categories of Shivalingas, the Bana Lingas come under the Swayambhu category, meaning they are self-manifest and have formed naturally, which makes them the holiest among the holies and the most suitable for worship. They do not need to be made worship-worthy by the preliminary rites of Purification (Cleansing) and Consecration (Prana Prathishta), as the Narmada Bana Lingas naturally contain the Vibhuti of Godhead present in them. They do not require the traditional rituals of transmutation – they are natural, self-evident and enduring. They cannot be defiled on any account and and do not lose their merit under any circumstances. The “Marka Bheda Tantra” (Patala 7) makes a summary statement to this effect.

However, if the ideal concept of Programming can be accomplished by a competant professional, then the Narmada Bana Lingams will bestow better and faster results. Among the several varieties of Lingas, Bana Lingas are said to be the most Sacred and it’s worship the most effective. It is therefore claimed that the Bana Linga when worshipped is a thousand times more effective than any other Linga. While “Suprabheda” (33) roundly declares that all Bana Lingas are worship-worthy, the “Suta Samhita” and “Meru Tantra” (Chapter 9) state that the ideal size of Bana Lingas for worship must be minimum four angulas or 4 inches or above. Those of smaller size may be used for carrying in person or worn around the neck as Power Pendants – as mobile Lingas, for Blessings and Protection.

Do Bana Lingas require Strict Worship and Elaborate Rituals ?

The Narmada Bana Lingas are similar to the Saligrama Stones (of the Gandaki River, Nepal) in this regard : both are Swayambhu. Being Self-Manifest, both are Divine Energy Tools and do not suffer from the many disadvantages and limitations of manushya-made forms and statues. They do not need to be ceremoniously installed or duly consecrated. They do not even require to go through the normal ritual of Invocation of Divine Presence (Avahana), for the Divine Presence is already there and will continue to be there, quite independantly of the rituals. This is clearly and boldly stated by the “Marka Bheda Tantra” (Patala 7). In fact, the “Yoga Sara” (Chapter 5) claims that by merely thinking about his/her Bana Lingam early in the morning, a person can gain success in all the tasks of the day.

Like the Sacred Shaligrams, there are no distinct prescriptions or procedures for the worship of Bana Lingams in Puranic Texts. There is only one Tantric Text “Yoga Sara” of Kaula influence that gives a separate dhyana and mantra for the worship of Bana Lingas, which is completely different from the standard worship ritual offered to Lord Shiva. This procedure in heavily tantric in orientation and involves a lot of visualising capabilities and might not be suitable to the householder.

Rigorous worship of any Sacred Object like the Narmada Bana Linga is always meritorious, but it is neither indispensable nor obligatory. The mere presence of a Narmadeshwar Shiva Lingam is said to grace its environment with harmony, mental peace, prosperity and protection. Regular worship of the Lingam with the Sacred Mantras, Vedic Suktams and Stotrams cause many intense and invisible effects. It is said that the sacred and powerful sounds from such mantras cause a powerful internal reverberation which is absorbed by the Bana Lingam. With consistent worship, this energy is slowly released and emitted to the surrounding environments, and is specially known to have the capacity to negate the accumulated karmic burdens of its worshipper – in other words, the Bana Lingam dissolves the negative karmic baggage (Praarabdha Karma) carried by the individual.

What are the benefits of having Bana Lingas ?

Numerous Scriptures acknowledge the superior merits of the Bana Lingams and extol the unsurpassed virtues of them, in bestowing many great benefits. The “Yajnavalkya Samhita” states that the benefits that can be obtained by worshipping a crore of other Shivalingas are got by worshipping just one Bana Linga. It is said that merely thinking about their Bana Linga early in the morning itself is likely to bestow success in all their enterprises of the day. It is also said that the Bana Lingams secure worldly welfare as well as emancipation from worldly involvement. It is the considered view of many that the Narmada Bana Lingams wash off sins and curses.

The Narmadeshwar Shiva Linga works with the breath and the fluids of the body creating a harmony in the body’s flow. The Narmada Bana Linga helps one to unite the lower self (conscious) with the higher self (unconscious) so that we may know our own divinity as we seek to know God. It brings believers into the mystical union with God. It heals and helps opening the chakras to resolve issues. It helps with activating the kundalini energy and the seven chakras. It awakens the energy centers and brings feelings of peace and wellbeing. It enhances personal or group meditations for clearer flow of energies. It balances and brings harmony to it’s surrounding environment, after cleansing the prevailing negative energies.

On one hand the Narmada Bana Lingam is the epitome of masculine power and attraction and oozes love and affection, on the other hand an adept can use it to suppress sexual energies and direct them to gain mental and spiritual development.

The Narmada Bana Lingas are highly communicative gemstones, each with its own individual personality, purpose and reason for being. It is believed that there is a Bana Linga destined for each one of us and that the Bana Linga will find it’s way to us when the time is right and when we are ready to receive it into our lives.

The Sacred Narmada Shivalinga Stones can be used to remove negativity and harness and transmit harmonious vibrations throughout a home and office. A Mini Narmada Bana Linga can be carried by a person or worn around the neck as a Pendant to protect the person and also gain divine blessings.

Important :

(1) No two Sacred Narmada Stones are alike and there are always variations in the Yoni patterns across the body.

(2) Certain Texts like “Kedhara Khanda” define some “Dushta Bana Lingas” – the Bana Lingas that are not auspicious : those with very rough surface, those which are fully flattened and those which are split at the top. Haemadhri in “Lakshana Khanda” insists that those Bana Lingas that are exceedingly corpulent or very thin, those with sharp edges and crooked tops are meant only for those who wish emancipation only and are not suitable for householders.

(3) Currently a huge dam is being built on the River Narmada. Once the dam is successfully completed, the rest of the Sacred Narmada Stones will be submerged by more than a hundred feet of raging water and the chances of  future harvests are extremely slim. The already harvested genuine Sacred Narmada Stones are becoming increasingly rare and are in high demand because of the exports. The high demands and scarce quantities will continue to boost the value of this unique Divine Energy Tool.

(4) Beware of spurious and fake Narmadha Bana Lingas. Not all the stones that are taken out of River Narmada are Bana Lingas. Similarly stones taken from Ganges and Yamuna Rivers too are sold as “Narmada Bana Lingas”, because of the rising demand. The devotees are advised to approach a genuine organisation for obtaining an authentic Narmada Banalingam.

Yantras – FAQs

Sacred Geometry Yantras FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions and Answers about the Exclusive “Sri Sudharsan Yantras” Series :

Our Yantras FAQs are very detailed and comprehensive and should clarify all of your reasonable doubts. If you genuinely wish to buy our Yantras and still have a query that is not covered here, mail to crystalvaastu@yahoo.com.

Q-1)  What is an Yantra ? What are Yantras ?

A : The word “Yantra” means an “instrument” or “machine” or “talisman” depending upon the context. An Yantra can be described as a very complex Engine of Energy containing nested geometric figures, arrays of mystic patterns and a series of ancient hyper sigils laced with archetypal designs and numerical shapes. They are esoteric energy concept mapping machines. Most of the Yantras are conceived and conceptualised through revelation and clairvoyance by Higher Light Energy Beings.

Q-2)  How do Yantras work ?

A : Yantras have embedded energetic signatures within the complex display of visual patterns. Once these energetic signatures are cleansed, blessed, energised and programmed as to the purpose and as to the person to whom the benefits should accrue, the whole Yantra mechanism is empowered and activated. Upon activation, the Yantra goes “live” and stays “on-line”, until the positive intentions contained within the Yantra are manifested first energetically and then physically, so as to solve the purpose of the User. The nucleus and the core structure of the Yantra tune into specific, elevated energy beams and tap into specific energy resources of the Universe, to acheive the already pre-programmed goals/targets.

Q-3)  Are your Yantras religious ?

A : No. Our Yantras are not based on any religion and so completely non-religious. The name “Sri Sudharsan Yantras” represents a brand identity to distinguish it from other commonly available religious Yantras.

Q-4)  If your Yantras are not based on religion, then how are they Energized ?

A : Our Sri Sudharsan Series of Yantras are sourced, copyrighted, energized (Energised, Empowered, Prana Prathishta) and programmed by Divine Light Beings (Devathas/Angels). Every single Yantra channeled by us are linked, empowered, tracked and fed through a Divine Light Energy Generator. Any attempts to copy or duplicate our Yantras through any means (like scan, xerox, print, engrave, emboss) will be futile – the unauthorised, unethical copies will never work.

Q-5)  I have heard only about Energized Yantras and Empowered Yantras but what is this Programming of Yantras ?

A : Every single energy remedy, including Yantras need to be not only Energized but also Programmed, in order to get it’s full benefits and for it to have a longer life. Yantras sold by others are at the best, only Energised (the process of empowering) and pre-programmed as to the Yantra’s Purpose. However, we also Program the Yantra – i.e., defining and linking the Yantra’s nucleus to the User (the person who is going to use it). This way, there will be no loss in Yantra’s energy and the whole of the Yantra’s energy is dedicated to the User, always.

To know more details about Energising and Programming and why every Energy Remedy needs to be Energised and Programmed, read Janarrdhana Guptha’s detailed Article by clicking here.

Q-6)  How long will your Yantras work ? What is the life span of your Yantras ?

A : Unlike most of the Yantras commonly available in the Net (which might have a life of 1 to 3 years), our “Sri Sudharsan Yantras” last a long time – tens of years. In fact there is no time limit set during the Programming process. However if an Yantra was Programmed for a specific accomplishment and has served its purpose, then it may withdraw its energy. Example the Yantra Y-60 – for Breaking a Curse and for Pithru Dosha Nivarthi.

Q-7)  What are the specialities of your “Sri Sudharsan Series of Yantras” ?

A : All the Yantras in the “Sri Sudharsan Series” are not only Cleansed, Energised (Empowered) and Blessed, and Pre-Programmed to the Purpose, but also Programmed (using ancient and powerful Siddha Programming Techniques) to the User. The nature of the empowerment and programming makes the “Sri Sudharsan Yantras” multifolds more powerful and with an elongated life, when compared to the regular energised Yantras.

Normally, any Yantra, at the best, is energised (through Pranaprathishta, Yagya or Yajna or Homam and other Poojas) and pre-programmed for specific purpose(s). Our Yantras are very special : they are not only energised and pre-programmed for specific purpose(s), but also specially programmed to the name(s) of a specific individual or family, as the case may be. Dedicated Energy Correction Techniques are used for Programming these Special Yantras bringing added benefits :

(1) the power of the Yantra is magnified multifolds;

(2) the energy is fully focused and the purpose/problem is solved much faster;

(3) the life of the Yantra is much more elongated (than the normal energised Yantras) and

(4) there is absolutely no need (for the buyer/user) to do any regular worships or rituals – whether chanting of mantras or ritualistic milk baths or offerings like flowers, rice, sweets, etc., as it has already been programmed to maintain ideal energy levels;

(5) Also unlike most of the Prana Prathishta processes, where the Yantras umblical energy chord is cut-off (and it becomes an independant energy tool by itself, but has no back-up) after energising/empowering is over, our Yantras remain connected to the Divine Light Energy Generator and receive energy as and when required. This special process enables our Yantras to be more empowered and enjoy a much larger life span, thus benefiting the buyer/user, in a far better way.

Q-8)  I am not a Hindu – can I still use your Yantra ? Do I have to be a Hindu to use your Yantras ?

A : You can very much use our Yantras. In fact anyone, irrrespective of their religious belief or leaning, or even a non-believer of religions can still use our Yantras and derive full benefit from it. Even our Energising Methodology and the Energy Correction Techniques used for charging and empowering our Yantras are fully non-religious.

Q-9)  Do I have to worship your Yantra daily ?

A : Absolutely not needed. Our Yantras are not based on any religion and are totally non-religious. So no worship or any religious ritual is needed from you. Also, unlike other Yantras commonly available, our Yantras are not just Cleansed, Energised, Blessed and Pre-Programmed to the Purpose, but are also Exclusively Programmed to the User (YOU), so that the Energy of the Yantra always reaches you automatically.

Q-10)  But I was told by a learned Pandit that if I wish to keep a Yantra, I need to chant the related Sanskrit Mantra daily (and correctly) and offer flowers, sweet, etc. and worship it daily to maintain it’s divinity ?

A : The Pandit is right, but this is applicable to religious Yantras only. However, our “Sri Sudharsan Yantras” are completely non-religious and so there is no need to chant any Mantras or offer any worship. You get the positive results automatically.

Q-11)  I wish to buy your Yantra, but I neither have any knowledge nor the time for correct worship ?

A : Go ahead and buy our exclusive “Sri Sudharsan” Yantras. They are not based on any religion and completely non-religious. There is absolutely no necessity for any form of religious worship or ritual.

Q-12)  Will there be any negative side effects from your Yantras at any point of time, for any reason ? Like for example if I chant the Bija Mantra improperly or if I am not able to worship the Yantra for a few days, when I am away from home ?

A : There will never be any negative effects whatsoever from our Yantras for any reason, at any point of time, as they are effectively and protectively Programmed. As already said, our Yantras are totally non-religious – so there is no necessity for any form worship or any religious ritual.

Q-13)  Where do I place your Yantra – I do not have any separate pooja room ?

A : You can keep our “Sri Sudharsan Yantras” anywhere in your living space (except bathroom/toilet). You can hang it on a wall in your living room or keep it inside a cupboard (straight facing like a wall clock). Do not keep it in lying down position. As our Yantras are totally non-religious, it is not necessary that our Yantras should be kept along with other deity pictures or only in pooja room. However there is no harm in keeping our Yantras in the mandir of your home, as the Energy emanating from our Yantras is purely positive and spiritual.

Q-14)  If I am to place the Yantra in the open, say, in the living room, then what about during the menses time (menstruation periods of women) ?

A : As answered earlier, our Yantras are effectively Progammed and there is an exclusive programming module for isolating and shielding our Yantra from the negative energies emanating during the menses time, chronic sickness and even death (Theettu). In fact there is another exclusive programming module in every one of our Sri Sudharsan Yantras which performs intensive cleansing of such negative energies continuously 24/7 (24 hours a day, 7 days a week) so that the User after visiting a sick person or after attending a funeral ritual or cremation rite is fully cleansed of all negative energy infections !

Q-15)  When do I place the Yantra – is there any auspicious date/day or time that I have to check for ?

A : As the Yantra has not just been Energised but also Programmed to you specifically, there is no need for any auspicious date or day or time to place your Yantra. Any day and any time will do.

Q-16)  Can I eat non-vegetarian food and smoke or drink inside my home, if I have your Yantra fixed in my home ?

A : Yes, you can. Our Yantras are completely non-religious and do not demand any extra cleanliness from the User and his/her family.

Q-17)  Do I have to believe in your Yantra, for it to work ?

A : No, you need not believe in your Sri Sudharsan Yantra, for it to work. As every one of the “Sri Sudharsan Yantras” is not only Energised but also Programmed to the User (to You, that is), it keeps working whether you believe in it or not. Which means the Energy from the Yantra keeps reaching you as and when you need it, even if you do not believe in it.

Q-18)  Do I have to believe in your Yantra, for getting results ?

A : No, it is not mandatory for you to believe in your Yantra (of Sri Sudharsan Yantras Series) to get results. The reason is simple : when you buy any of the “Sri Sudharsan Yantras” from us, the Yantra is not just Cleansed, Blessed, Energised and Pre-Programmed to the Purpose, but also Programmed to the User – this enables the Yantra to keep beaming the Energy to you (to your Chakras and Energy Bodies, actually) automatically, as and when needed. So you keep receiving the exclusive Energy beamed at you, even if you are a non-believer. Your Chakras (Energy Centers) and Energy Bodies keep receiving the beamed Energy, even if you do not believe in it. So the results do happen and will happen, in time.

However, here is the subtle difference : if you believe in the Yantra, your Chakras will receive the Energy more willingly, assimilate and digest the received Energy with a better speed and which will eventually bring in much faster and better results.

Q-19)  How long does it take to get positive results from your Yantras ?

A : The time frame for getting positive results from our “Sri Sudharsan Yantras” depends on several factors including the source, nature and magnitude of the Karmic Blocks, the Size and Power of the Yantra, etc. However, our feedbacks suggest that positive results start manifesting from anywhere between 48 days to 90 days, eventhough many customers have benefited even before 48 days also.

Q-20)  How many types of Yantras do you have ?

A : We have many types and varieties of Yantras in our range. The significance of all these Yantras vary – some are application-specific and some are context-specific; some are for individuals and some are for families. We even have the concept of a small Group of Yantras which work interactively and together to bring in still better and faster results. They are called as “Interactive Group Yantras”.

Q-21)  How do I know which Yantra will suit me ?

A : We have given the specific significance and context suitable for the application of every Yantra individually for you to understand clearly. However, feel free to mail us (crystalvaastu@yahoo.com) about your specific needs or personal problems, so that we can recommend you the most suitable Yantras for you.

Q-22)  Why are there so many Yantras ?

A : This is the Kali Yuga Time Period where one has to put in twice or even thrice the efforts just to achieve the basic tasks. Karmic blocks and man made obstacles are quite common and added to this are external influences like Evil Eye (Drishti, Malochchio, etc.), Black Magic (Voo Doo, Ilmu Sihir, etc.), Evil Entities, Demonic Creatures, etc. The Energy Equations of Kali Yuga are different from those of the other Yugas and there are many contexts and situations that need to be addressed specially and in a unique way. That is the reason why we have so many Yantras.

Q-23)  Can I use more than one Yantra in the same place ?

A : You can use any number of our Yantras at the same time and in the same place. There will never be any conflict of interest at any point of time. In fact we have a Special Series of Group Yantras where the individual Yantras interact with each other, to get the customer better and faster results.

Q-24)  I wish to buy the Fertility Yantra for my son and daughter-in-law who are living in USA. For reasons I do not wish to divulge, the Yantra cannot be fixed in their home in USA. Can I keep the Yantra in my home in India ? Will it be equally effective ?

A : The Energy Correction Techniques used for Energising and Programming our Yantras are very ancient and extraordinarily powerful. The Energy beamed from our Yantras will be highly person(s)-specific and will reach the person(s) automatically wherever they are on Earth, even if they are on the move. The Yantra will be equally effective from wherever it is placed. So the answer to both your questions is a clear “Yes”.

This rule is applicable for our entire range of Sri Sudharsan Yantras, except for the Yantra Y-19 (Yantra for Correction of Defects as per Indian Vedic Vaastu Shastra, Manaiyadi Shastra, Chinese Fengshui, Flying Stars Feng Shui, European Bau-Biologie (Building Biology) and Geopathic Stress Levels), which should definitely be kept in that property itself.

Q-25)  What are “Group Yantras” ?

A : A sophisticated extension of the most powerful “Sri Sudharsan Series of Yantras” are the Interactive Group Yantras. For example, GY-01 : For Business Success, Growth & Factory Control gives the Partners/Directors of the Company total control over their business, money, products and the people involved. The Concept contains a Group of 5 Yantras – one in 18” x 18” and the other four in 9” x 9” sizes. Together, these Sacred Geometry Yantras give the following 11 different benefits to the User :

(1) For Business Success, Growth & Expansion; Prevention of Profit Erosion and Money Erosion; (2) For Successful Import & Export Business, Foreign Transactions, Establishing Overseas Branches; (3) For Successful Cash Counter Sales in Shops, eShops, iShops, Showrooms, Exhibitions; (4) For Customer Vasya : attracting more Clients; (5) For Financial Growth & Stability, Collection of Outstanding Money, Repayment of Debts/Loans; (6) For Productivity, Quality Control, Management; Employees’ Retention, Harmony & Loyalty – for Office, Shop, Showroom, Factory; (7) For Acquisition of New Assets : Vehicles, Land, Apartment, House & Protecting Existing Assets from Erosion; (8) For Business Protection from Robbery, Internal Thefts, Accidents for Office, Shop, Factory; (9) For Removal of Drishti (Evil Eye) : Negative Energy caused by others’ jealousy, frustration, etc.; (10) For Overcoming Blocks, Obstacles & Hurdles in Professional Life; (11) For Correction of Defects in Land & Building as per Indian Vedic Vaastu Shastra, Manaiyadi Shastra, Chinese Feng Shui, Oriental Flying Stars Fengshui, European Bau-Biologie (Building Biology), including Geopathic Stress Levels.

The most important aspect of these Interactive Group Yantras is that they are multifolds more powerful than the regular ones, because of their inherent interactiveness. Another speciality is that one set of Interactive Group Yantras will work for a Company (with many partners/directors) with more than one factory, branch office, subcontractor, commonly.

Group Yantras that are currently and readily available are : (1) GY-01 : For Business Success, Financial Growth & Factory (Production & Labour) Control; (2) GY-02 : For Family – General Health, Wealth, Harmony & Happiness; (3) GY-03 : For Destruction of Negative Energy like Drishti (Evil Eye), Black Magic, Evil Ghosts & Protection from Future Afflictions – for the whole Family; (4) GY-04 : For Career & Professional Success, Assets, Protection; (5) GY-05 : For successfully running an Institution (Hospital, School, College, etc.).

Q-26)  What are Crystal Yantras and how are the Crystal Yantras more powerful than your regular Yantras ?

A : The Crystal Yantras of the Sri Sudharsan Series are many folds more powerful and more result oriented than our regular Yantras because of the following reasons :

(1) the Crystal Yantras consist of certain extraordinarily powered Hyper Sigils that can convert complex conceptual energies into physical realities.

(2) the Energy Correction Programming Techniques imbibed in the Crystal Yantras are far more powerful ones (than in our regular Yantras).

(3) the Crystal Yantras contain Crystals mounted onto the Yantras (based on the customer’s date of birth and time of birth) and can channel more powerful Energy Beams, thereby bringing in better and faster results.

(4) the Colour of the Crystals, the Quantum of the Crystals and the placement of the Crystals (to be mounted on the Crystal Yantra) are carefully chosen based on the calculations of birth name, date of birth and time of birth of the customer – hence every Crystal Yantra is quite unique and more customer-specific.

As an additional Crystal Selection Process is involved, the Crystal Yantras will be despatched on the 4th day of receiving the payment and the input data. However, the Energising & Programming of the Crystal Yantra (from our Divine Light Energy Generator) will continue for 14 days (whether the Yantra is in transit or the customer’s place) and will automatically get activated on the 15th day.

Do Goodluck Charms, Talismans, Amulets, Kavach, Yantras really work ?

Do Good Luck Symbols, Charms, Talismans, Amulets, Fengshui Cures, Yantras, Crystals, Medallions, Kavach & other Remedies really work ?

Every single Culture and Country of our Earth has spawned Good Luck Symbols, followed closely by Charms, Talismans, Amulets, Enhancers, Cures, Crystals, Gemstones, Sacred Geometry Yantras & all types of Remedies. Volumes have been written about them. But do they really work and yield results? If no, Why? And if Yes, How? Read on for some critical facts not revealed earlier.

Symbols and symbolism are popular in almost every civilisation, culture and religion that has evolved on Earth. They are deeply ingrained in the way of our life itself. Symbols impact our subconscious mind and if their influences are strong enough, then they could stimulate confidence, effort and good outcomes. Whether we realize or not paintings, pictures, jewellery, statues, birds, animals and so forth have meanings and effect on us.

Mankind, after closely watching nature, events and environmental life over a period of centuries, has developed a vast and time tested database of Positive Symbols. When the geometric shape, size, meaning and their other nuances are properly understood and activated, it results in transmission/amplification of “energy” – the vital life force that governs everything in the Universe.

Some classical examples are Crystals, Pyramids, Vedic Yantras, Sacred Geometry Yantras, Maha Meru, Pancha Boodha Stupa, Vajra, Viswa Vajra, Rahu (Dorje Phurba), Fengshui Objects, et cetra.

Usage of positive symbols can alter energy flow and enhance the surrounding space. It is the easiest way to introduce positivism in our environment. They are normally categorised into 2 types : to remedy/cure a problem, to heal a situation; to act as a booster or enhancer to bring about harmony and prosperity. There are energy tools (like Crystals) that when placed (after processing), can dissolve negative energy and also stream out purpose-solving, high positive energy. These symbols, when processed and positioned correctly, will definitely yield results.

By creating an environment rich with positive symbolism that elicit positive thinking, focused minds, confidence and innovativeness, progress and prosperity will result. We will then become aware of the life force in the environment in which the energy had been altered by us, thus enabling us to empower it. This powerful symbolism will reinforce our energy levels to benefit in every aspect of our lives.

For example, a Black Tourmalene Crystal Pendant can balance the emotions and calm the mind; a pair of Pink Mandarin Ducks statuettes can bond a couple more strongly; a Viswa Vajra can protect one from negative entities; a Five Element Stupa can balance the five elements of nature and correct the vaastu/fengshui energy of land and building; a set of Sailing Ship Coins can instigate cash flow in Business; a Pyramid can accumulate Positive Energy; a Shri Yantra can remove financial blocks, a custom built Crystal Energy Field can bring in Health, Wealth, Harmony & Happiness, et cetra.

But how can merely the statue of a Phoenix bird bring motivation and new opportunities ?

The shape and design of the gadget determines the nature of the energy that the remedy can receive and transmit. (2) The raw material and size decide the storage capacity and life of the remedy, when energized. (3) Programming of the remedy defines the problem to be solved or the purpose to be realised and the Programming only fully dedicates the energy of the remedy to the purpose and binds it to the person.

It is thus important to realise that the remedy by itself is only the hardware part (like a computer). You have to supply the electricity (Energizing or Empowering or Energising or Prana Prathishta) to switch it on and keep it running. But ultimately you have to supply the proper software (Programming) to make it work. Appropriate placement then completes the circle.

There are some who would argue that the “shape” of the talisman or remedy itself does signify a specific energy and hence does not require any other processing. Sure it does : that’s why it has been selected as an energy tool. For example, the shape of a majestic Elephant does signify the energies related to strength, shrewdness and long memory – but that alone is not sufficient. The image or statue should definitely be energised in ways where it stores enough to last for a few years, not weeks. Then the stored energy should be programmed as to whom and for what purpose it should work. The programming also helps the remedy from being corrupted from the onslaught of negative energies that it surely has to face (on behalf of it’s owner), once activated. This way, if and when the vital positive energy of the remedy is critically overwhelmed by negativity at one stage, the remedy simply breaks and declares it’s inability to serve (it’s owner) further, rather than damage it’s owner.

Will a Laughing Buddha or a Crystal or a Yantra bought off the shelf give results ?

The simple answer is a firm “no”, if it has not been programmed and energised. Merely energising will not help. The energy needs to be stabilised, sealed and then directed through “specialised” programming.

In fact, the source of the energy remedies play an important role in determining the effectiveness. Many who buy the same Fengshui product from two different sources will find that one is working so well and the other may not. But they never bother to ask why that happens. The answer is subtle, the source determines the “root energy” stored in the products.

(1) It is a key element (the root energy) that the qualified expert (who is going the sell/channel the remedies) checks before selecting. Then the products are (2) cleansed (of negativities that arise during manufacturing/changing hands), (3) instilled with auspicious and positive energy and (4) kept in proper storage area that has a strong positive energy belt before being sold. Finally, when sold, (5) the expert programs the remedy to the purpose and the user and explains the (6) ideal placement of the energy tool in his/her place.

Then and only then will these remedial tools yield results.

In modern living, where the environment at macro level is highly influenced by many factors beyond our control, micro level energy correction done with empowered remedies can effectively bring in and retain Health, Wealth, Harmony and Happiness.
