There is a belief that Surya is the king among the navagrahas or nine planets. Therefore by pleasing Surya one can satisfy other grahas and achieve peace in life. One of the ideal solution to Surya dosh and other horoscope problems is to have Surya Yantra at home or in office. There are numerous other benefits of having Surya Yantra.
When To Buy Surya Yantra And Place It At Home?
The ideal day to place the Surya Yantra at home are:
- Sunday
- Saptami – seventh day of a lunar fortnight
- Surya Sankranti day – which occurs on 15 or 16 of every month
- Ratha Saptami day
- Bhanu Saptami
Buy the yantra when Saptami tithi is present in the afternoon. For example is the saptami tithi starts on Jan 6 at 2:00 PM then buy it on the day. This is because Saptami Tithi will be present during sunrise on Jan 7. So you can place the yantra during Saptami Tithi.
