Mangal Yantra

What is Mangal Yantra?

The Mangal Yantra is a sacred geometric diagram dedicated to Mangal Graha (Planet Mars), the planet of courage, energy, strength, and determination in Vedic astrology. Mangal governs willpower, physical vigour, property matters, and the drive to take bold action, making it an important planet for career growth, real estate dealings, and overall confidence.

When Mangal is weak, afflicted, or placed unfavourably in a person's birth chart, it can lead to Manglik Dosha, delays in marriage, anger issues, accidents, disputes, or financial losses related to property. The Mangal yantra is worshipped to strengthen the positive influence of Mars and reduce the negative effects caused by a malefic or debilitated Mangal.

Mantra for Mangal Yantra

Worshipping the yantra with the correct mantra is essential to activate its positive energy. The most widely recommended Vedic mantra for Mangal is: "Om Kraam Kreem Kraum Sah Bhaumaya Namah"

This mantra should ideally be chanted 10,000 times as part of a complete Mangal mantra jaap, or a minimum of 108 times daily, preferably on Tuesdays, the day ruled by Mars.

An alternate Beej Mantra for Mangal is: "Om Ang Angarkaya Namah"
