According to our shastras Yantra is a science which can be used through the five elements-earth, water, fire, sky and air and by recitation of mantras to control nature in one's own interest. Deities are worshiped in different forms and each form is linked to a yantra. Yantra uses signs and writings to remove a planet's malice effects and increase it's beneficial aspects. A bindu or zero is used to form various broad figures known as 'Yantras'.
A yantra can be drawn by anybody but it is fruitful only when energised by a 'sidh mantra'. It is drawn and energised on a piece of silver, copper, etc which is worn by the person. The yantra hence becomes the medium through which the invisible forces of energy act on an individual. The preparation of yantra is difficult process as there are many prescribed steps and rituals that have to be followed exactly. There are different divisions of yantras based on their use, as sharir yantras, dharan yantras, asan yantras, mandal yantras, puja yantras, chhatar yantras, darshan yantras. All the yantras given above are placed at different places according to their use i.e. they may be placed below a house, tied on a part of body, etc.
In day to day life we find some people are very wealthy, spiritual or contented. Those are the persons who have been blessed by the grace of the almighty God, and they are realising the fruits of their past good karmas (good work). On the other hand, there are persons who are not contented, poor and living an daverage or miserable life. They try to find short cut methods to attain the fulfilment of their desires. No doubt this can be done but not without the guidence of a competent preceptor. They show the ways through Mantra, Tantra and Yantra.
Yantra is not a magic but a path or technique through which, you can attain siddhi and desires. It is the shortest way provided by they are followed with instruction and direction. |
