7 Surya Yantra Benefits to Attract Success

What is a Surya Yantra and Its Significance?

Surya Dev is one of the Navagrahas holding profound importance in Vedic astrology. However, his identity is not limited to being a planet (scientifically it is a star); he is also a form of the Supreme Being, Lord Vishnu. Lord Krishna Himself says in the Bhagavad Gita, 10th chapter, Verse 21

आदित्यानामहं विष्णुर्ज्योतिषां रविरंशुमान् |

“Among Luminous Objects, I am Surya.”

Surya Narayana is one of the six deities (Shanmata), as established by the renowned Advaitain Saint Adi Shankaracharya.

Symbolism of the Sun God

We can understand the symbolism of the Sun God with a beautiful analogy. The sun represents bright white light, pure and blemishless in anture. Within the white light, there are 7 different colors known to us as the VIBGYOR. The 7 horses that pull the sun god’s chariot denote these 7 colors, representing various emotional experiences that convertly influence an individual’s actions — Red for anger or passion, green for envy, blue for grief, violet for realization, and so on.

The same concept can be understood in the yogic parlance, where the seven horses represent the seven chakras, beyond which dwells the self.

Thus, keeping the Surya Yantra at home connects one with the supreme reality of Brahman, inducing higher states of Dhyana. It ignites the thirst for knowledge and dispels the darkness of ignorance.

The Surya Yantra not just represents the outer brilliance but also the indiscernible light of self-realization. In astrology, the sun represents the self-luminous soul, the atman. It also represents the ego, or the assumed sense of self. Its role is indispensable, since without the ‘I’ there is no world. The Sun has the tendency to dominate and overshadow others by its teja or brilliance. Hence, Surya is reckoned as the Raja, or king, amongst the cabinet of planets.

His rays nourish, heal, and illuminate both the world and our inner being.

The Surya Yantra represents willpower, knowledge, and alignment with Dharmic actions. It is often given to those who struggle with low confidence, poor health, karmic fatigue, or unclear life direction.

When created on Bhojpatra and energized with proper Vedic rituals, the Surya Yantra doesn’t just symbolize light—but emanates it.

Scriptural References of Surya Graha

The Gayatri mantra, one of the most revered and ancient Hindu chants, glorifies the Sun god.

There are numerous scriptural references that link the Sun god to health, fame, prestige, and self-realization. Some of them are the Brahma Vaivarta Purana, Skanda Purana, and tantric scriptures such as Mantra Mahodadhi and Saradatilaka Tantra, to name a few.

Lord Rama appeased Surya Dev prior to defeating Ravana by perfecting the Aditya Hrudayam Stotram.

In the Shatapatha Brahmana, Sage Yajnavalkya states that Lord Surya taught him the Shukla Yajurveda and knowledge of the Atman (soul). Thus, Surya Dev is not just a graha but a guru who even guided Lord Hanuman.

What makes the Surya Yantra special

The Surya Yantra consists of a 3×3 number grid that resonates with the Sun’s energy. If you look at the number grid, all rows, columns, and diagonals add up to a magical constant, i.e., 15. The number 15 carries deep meaning in numerology.

In the number 15, 1 represents individuality and soul power, as the sun is indispensable. Number 5 symbolizes the ability to sail through the ordeals of life smoothly. In general, the number grid is a talisman for those who are battling poor self-esteem, eye/heart conditions, dissatisfaction with work, or tense relationships with father/authority figures.

Benefits of Surya Yantra | Signs you need a Surya Yantra

The Aditya Hridayam declares that Surya destroys unseen enemies and negativities. The energized Surya Yantra acts like a solar shield, guarding your inner space against jealousy, manipulation, or psychic drains.

1) Makes you Confident and assertive

The Surya Yantra boosts confidence, initiating leadership roles that demand a throw-in of your personality.

Those feeling overshadowed or suppressed in relationships usually have a weak Sun in their horoscope. I recommend trying out the Surya Yantra as a remedy. The Yantra grants a distinct individuality with a tinge of dominance

2) Grants Fame, Career Growth and Leadership

The Sun enjoys unparalleled fame, and so do individuals blessed with an exalted sun in their horoscope. Individuals struggling to gain recognition or status on the work front benefit from the yantra.

Many times, colleagues take the credit of hard workers, and one may end up feeling sidelined. However, the Surya Yantra lets your potential shine through to the world. Hence, it is an ideal choice for public speakers, politicians, or government officials desiring social prominence.

In astrology, Surya governs authority, status, and visibility. Those in public life, politics, media, or leadership roles often suffer from image distortions or a lack of magnetic presence.

The Surya Yantra helps you lead without arrogance and shine nobly in your field. It strengthens your intellectual fire and concentration.

3) Strengthens Relationship with Father and Authority Figures

In astrology, the Sun represents the father, the head of the family. It also represents superiors who one looks up to. This astrological Yantra works on subtle energies that slowly but steadily improve the bonds with your seniors, especially your father. It can also improve your father’s health and social standing and aid in his overall wellbeing.

4) Boosts Health and Metabolism

The Surya Yantra also bestows health and vitality, especially benefitting the eyes, bones and heart. It activates the Manipura Chakra, supporting better digestion, and gut health.

In Ayurveda, the sun governs the digestive fire, reinstating the same. Science backs the importance of the morning sun in increasing Vitamin D absorption in the body.

The Sun god even brings brilliance to your personality by making your face look radiant and charismatic. This key attribute is well-reflected in the personality of Angaraja Karna. His face shone with divine effulgence, and he even earned glory as a blessing given to him by his celestial father Surya.

Remember to drink plenty of water to get rid of excess heat, while involving Surya Tattva.

5) Activates Manipura Chakra

The mathematical number placement reflects Surya Teja (solar radiation) activating the Manipura Chakra (Solar Plexus Chakra), the center for confidence and willpower. The Yantra creates conducive environments that kindle these abilities in the native.

6) Supports Spiritual Growth

Surya represents Dharma, the path of righteous and soulful living. His blessings through the yantra align your actions with higher purpose. You begin to naturally move away from distractions, wasting energy, or egocentric actions, and instead act with clarity and direction.

Surya is also seen as the visible form of God and the inner teacher. He was the mentor of Lord Hanuman. As we meditate on the yantra, it burns away ego, pride, and tamas (inertia), and guides us toward Dharma and higher consciousness. Surya is the giver of Atma-bala (soul strength). 

The Vedas say, “Surya Atma Jagatas Tasthushascha” — “Surya is the soul of all that moves and does not move.” He is not just outside; he is the divine witness within, who lights up your path when you dare to walk in truth.

7) Removes Negativity

Just as the sunrays drive away all darkness, the Surya Yantra clears the inertia and negativity within our core, that prevent us from being constructive. It brings a new ray of positivity and optimistic outlook towards setbacks, thus reinforcing a powerful come back. The Yantra also gives the ability to cut off toxicity in the surrounding, by the sheer power of one’s personality.

Understanding the Role of Surya Mantras in Enhancing Yantra Power

Complementing a Surya Mantra to your spiritual practice can boost the benefits. Lord Shiva as the guru principle, Lord Vishnu as the supreme truth, and Sri Rama as the descendant of the Surya dynasty align with the sun’s qualities. Even chanting their mantras can immensely help.

The safest Surya mantra that directly addresses the Sun God is

श्री सूर्य नारायणाय नमः
Shree Surya Narayanaya Namaha.

This mantra invokes the Supreme Brahman in the form of the sun god, serving both as an astrological remedy and also a means to connect with the absolute truth.

Note that the mantra excludes beejas (Sanskrit seed syllables) like Om, Hreem, Kleem, etc, which mandate initiation. Chanting beeja mantras without a guru’s supervision can unlock granthis, leading to misalignment of energy. It is like a child playing with explosives without parental guidance. Physical or mental complications too may prop up if the Kundalini gets misaligned.

However, the mantra mentioned in the blog can be chanted by anyone. Just ensure you drink plenty of water, as heat may develop on invoking the sun god. (The sadhaka imbibes the properties of Surya Dev while invoking him through mantra chanting).

Where Should I Place the Surya Yantra for Best Results?

The sun rises in the east and is the ideal direction for the Yantra placement. The Surya Yantra should face west, while you should sit facing East during worship. Even your puja room is ideal, provided it is Vastu aligned.

If you have space limitations, you can consider North-East corner (Ishanya) placement as well, since it is ruled by Jupiter, the planet of wisdom.

You can put the yantra on a red cloth, copper plate, or wooden pedestal. Maintain cleanliness and purity around the Yantra. Avoid keeping it near bathrooms and kitchens (as utensils are cleaned there). Ensure the space receives natural morning light.

How to worship the Surya Yantra?

Keep a small diya (ghee lamp) and incense stick near the yantra every morning.

If possible, offer Arghya (water in a copper vessel) to the rising sun while mentally visualizing the yantra. Then sit before it and chant safe Surya mantras (without beejas if you are not initiated).

Don’t place the yantra facing South or upside down since both these directions disrupt the flow of Surya’s sattvic energy. Kindly approach the Surya Yantra with reverence and faith.

How Does the Surya Yantra Impact Health and Vitality?

Lord Surya embodies the life force (Prana Shakti), Consciousness (Bodha), and Brilliance (Tejas). By his presence, life thrives on the planet in the form of vegetation. Just being disease-free doesn’t always translate to being healthy. Real Health is when there is synergy between body, mind, and soul.

In Vedic astrology, Surya governs the eyes, heart, bones, and circulation. Worshipping his yantra helps rectify issues in these areas. The Surya Yantra also burns tamas, the dense energy linked to lethargy and depression. It thus brings back motivation, enthusiasm, and even joy in small, everyday actions.

True health, according to Ayurveda and Yoga, is rooted in living a Dharma-aligned life. Over time, the yantra transforms the sadhaka not just physically but also ethically and mentally — which is the true foundation of wellness.

Why Bhojpatra Matters in Spiritually Activated Yantras

A yantra on Bhojpatra holds the Sankalpa (divine intent) of the creator.

The Yajur Veda, Atharva Veda, and tantric texts such as the Mantra Mahodadhi mention Bhojpatra as a holy writing material for mantras, tantras, and rituals of dharma.

When a Surya Yantra is inscribed on Bhojpatra and charged, it retains the divine fire and prana of Surya himself. This is further amplified when made using natural Vedic ingredients such as Chandan, Kumkum and Kesar. The fibers of the Bhojpatra not only absorb the natural inks but also the intention with which the Yantra is made. This makes the Yantra a powerful channel for energy transmission.

Features of Our Bhojpatra-Based Surya Yantra

At Spirit Meaning, we do not treat the Surya Yantra as a product. We regard it as a living embodiment of Surya Deva.

• Our Yantras are drawn on Bhojpatra, which is an extremely spiritually charged medium. They are hand-drawn with utmost care using classic Vedic materials such as kumkum, kesar, chandan and ashtagandha.
• Each Surya Yantra is spiritually charged (Prana Pratishta) by our Guru Parampara.
• Before preparing the yantra, a Sankalpa (sacred intention) is made— for the yantra to benefit the individual receiving it, be it growth, health, or clarity.
• Each Surya Yantra is created in a sattvic, meditative state — not churned out in factories or through automated prints. We maintain ritual purity, ensuring the person drawing the yantra and the environment are sadhana-oriented.
• Our yantras arrive pre-energized and ready for placement. Whether you install it in your altar, study area, or spiritual space, it begins to radiate subtle energy — requiring only your regular devotion and connection to keep the vibration alive.

Can the Surya Yantra Be Kept by Anyone?

Yes — the Surya Yantra can be worshipped by anyone.

The Vedic statement “Sarvaloka Chakshuh” calls Surya Deva the eye of the entire universe. He shines equally upon all, without judgment or partiality. His yantra reflects the same principle: universal upliftment.

Unlike some Tantric or deity-specific yantras that require advanced sadhana or strict discipline, the Surya Yantra is suitable even for beginners or householders. Children with weak confidence or adults facing career slumps can gain positivity from this yantra.

Surya’s Connection with Dharma and Self-Worth

He is the vision of Dharma and the remover of self-doubt. Self-worth, too, is intrinsically tied to Surya. In astrology, a weak Surya often manifests as chronic self-doubt, low confidence, and the inability to stand by one’s choices. In contrast, a strong Surya — supported by yantra worship — cultivates healthy pride, and direction. It becomes easier to speak the truth, take responsibility, and stop seeking external validation. One begins to feel: I am enough. I have light within me.
