The full order for a home Vāstu Śānti, following the Telugu Vāstu Puruṣa Pūjā (Nanduri Srinivas) for the 81-pada maṇḍala, aṅga pūjā, bahir-devatās and Kūṣmāṇḍa bandhana, given here in Devanagari: Ācamana, Saṅkalpa, Gaṇapati, Puṇyāhavācana, Kalaśa, the Vāstu Registry (removing unwanted energies by request), Bhūmi Pūjā & Jāgaraṇa, Navagraha, the 45-devatā Vāstu Maṇḍala, homa with Gāyatrī ×108, Mahāmṛtyuñjaya ×108 and Vāstoṣpati ×108, bali, Pratigrahaṇa and Visarjana. Every repeated mantra has a tap-counter and is written out in full.
Whatever you type here appears in the highlighted blanks throughout the vidhi (Saṅkalpa, Registry, Dakṣiṇā). It stays only in this browser.
Pick the date of the vidhi and the place. Saṃvatsara, ayana, ṛtu, māsa, pakṣa, tithi, vāsara and nakṣatra are worked out for local sunrise there and written into the Saṅkalpa below (Sanskrit in the mantra, roman in the transliteration).
Read this a day before. Time needed: about 4-5 hours with homa.
Pūjā is done at the Brahmasthāna (centre) or in the Īśāna (NE) part of the hall. The yajamāna faces East. In front: Gaṇapati and kalaśa on a raised platform (north-east of the maṇḍala), Navagraha maṇḍala to the north-east of the homa kuṇḍa, the 81-pada Vāstu maṇḍala in front, and the homa kuṇḍa on the yajamāna's East-South side.
Sit on the āsana facing East. Hold water in the right palm, in the gokarṇa (cow-ear) shape.
Sip a drop of water at each of the first three names (from the base of the palm, the brāhma-tīrtha). Then, with the ring finger, touch the body parts as listed for the remaining twenty-one names.
