Reader writes:
I am very
soon going to move to my new house and want to know about Vastu shanti (as
someone was telling me that all pundits cannot read mantras with correct
"uchharana" (pronunciation)and so it will not be able to generate
the required vibrations) ,I wanted to know how effective the yantras for the
same are,and also one more thing can you provide me with the Vastu Shanti
Mantra and also Nav Graha Shanti Mantra. I would be very grateful to
you.
My
friend Rohini Gupta , a Mantra Scholar replies:
A
havan in the new house is a very good idea. At least in India pandits have no
problem pronouncing mantras ! Yantras are also very good, but will need to be
energized first.
Om Vaastu purushaaya vidmahe
bhoomi putraaya dhimahi
tanno vaastu prachodayaat.
this is the vastu purush Gayitri. good for vastu shanti.

SANSKRIT
Sanskrit
believes that the sound of the word never gets ruined and that it has an
everlasting value.
Words
in Sanskrit open out from their seed (beej) form.
A
root is always a single syllable that contains one of the basic sounds a, I, u,
ri
The
root or seed may create a word, yet the word will vibrate to its best, and gives
it tremendous power.
The
Vedic or the Sanskrit view gives more importance to the special sound it should
produce, than to the meaning of the spoken word.
