What are some good books (in Bengali, English, Hindi or Sanskrit) for self-learning the method of Prana Pratishta (invoking life-force of Deites) on Yantras, idols etc?
I am looking for books or even online sites with (audio/video) demonstrations.

1I'm aware that some good books are available for the purpose.Its just that i don't know their names.Also please don't say-Ask your Guru.Because if i do my Guru will get angry on me thinking that i'm wasting my time or that i'm going wayward. :)– RickrossCommented Feb 26, 2016 at 18:31

1You already know the answer that your guru will give and yet you think your mind is right. Read the Taittiriya Upanishad Chapter I. ii. 1. on pronunciation. Also the Taittiriya Samhita (II. iv. 12.). It tells the story of the dire consequences of chanting a mantra without the proper pronunciation. In it the god Tvashtri accents the first syllable of Indra-satru instead of the last syllable. As a result, it yields the opposite result he was to get and leads to his complete destruction...– Swami VishwanandaCommented Feb 28, 2016 at 10:48

"lagu pran pratishtha" is the title of a video on prana pratishta by Yogi from kaulantak nath peeth, it's in Hindi though.

Prana pratishta is done on Yantras,idols/images, stones on water-pot or even on flower. On weapons also yes.– RickrossCommented Dec 24, 2017 at 11:52

It is very hard to find the prana pratishta and stapana mantras online.
I have asked pundits in my area they are not willing to give the mantras saying that only brahmans are qualified to do the sthapanas etc., . Told them I am also a brahman but not a karmakandi yet.
