I bought a brass Yantra for Lord Ganesh, but do not know how to use it. Can you please help?
A yantra is a tool in focussing our attention, and therefore must be worshipped according to traditions of that yantra. Every yantra has an individual viddhi or specific set of mantras that are employed in its worship. The Yantra Gayatri is included in the Cosmic Puja, and that is common to all yantras. However, the meditation and description of the yantra, the different deities that sit in the various angles and lines of the yantra, are specific to each and every yantra. That is why we worship yantras according to our specific tradition, and learn a complete body of knowledge: the mula mantra, the various bijas, the nyasas, and the worship of the yantra for a specific deity. My recommendation in the absence of a Guru qualified to give you such instruction, is to read the Ganesh Atharvashisham from the Advanced Shiva Puja, and the accompanying mantras from the Ganesh Puja. Then offer sindhur, chandan, rice, etc. to the yantra.
