There is a very definite system of writing yantras, and the methodology, as well as the specific pattern that must be utilised and adhered to if the yantra is to be effectual. The aspirant creating the yantra must sit facing a particular direction, depending on the yantra and its use. There are different materials used in the making of different yantras. If done properly then the desired effect will be manifest.
There are different directions for drawing the lines within the yantra. If the yantra is for a positive purpose the lines are drawn beginning from the east and toward the west. On the other hand, yantras for overpowering enemies, or death-inflicting yantras, are drawn beginning from the west toward the east. Lines drawn for progress in specific actions are drawn from the north toward the south.
It is also extremely important that an auspicious time is chosen to make the yantra. Yantras for positive and good causes should be drawn early in the morning. Yantras for peace (shanti) are to be drawn at midnight. "Videshan" yantras (made for creating disputes or differences between people) should be drawn at midday. "Maran" (death-inflicting yantras) must be drawn in the evening. "Uchattan" (yantras to keep an enemy distracted and away from home) are to be drawn in the afternoon. Yantras such as "Vashikaran" (yantras to bring another person under the aspirant´s control), are to be done before noon.
There are even exact hours at which time it would be most auspicious to make the yantra in order to gain the most powerful effects. Different hours of the day or night are ruled by different planets and are thus proper for making specific types of yantras.
