The Purpose of Yantras?

[Guest guest]

Hey Group,

Can somebody tell me the whole purpose of a yantra. Does it help you to

concentrate on a specific deity? What is the purpose of it? How is it

used? Etc...

Dear Lawrence,

 

I am not as highly knowledged as many of the other members to answer your

question, but I did manage to do some research on the purpose of yantras. I''ve

found a website that lists the purpose of every type of yantra. Here's the link

- http://www.indiavisitinformation.com/indian-astrology/yantra-shop.shtml. I

hope this helps you

 

Om Shantih

HARI OM.....

 

I am not as highly learned as some other members, but I can add my humble 2

cents or rupees if I may. A YANTRA in Sanskrit roughly means "machine" or

"loom". It is an apparatus that is the physical manifestation of a MANTRA and

the Deity, God or Goddess, who expresses him or herself through that particular

mantra. All DEITIES, GODS, & GODDESSES, have a mantra, and all mantras have a

YANTRA. Thus, all deities, Gods & Goddesses have a YANTRA.

 

Basically a YANTRA works as a device to concentrate the energy of a particluar

deity who is being propitiated through mantra or prayer. Your mantra-prayers go

into the ether to whatever deity you are propitiating and it then bounces to

that particular yantra (mainly the center BINDU point where the deity is said to

reside) that has been activated by certain seed syllables thru the mantras meant

for that particular deity. The concentrated energy from the YANTRA-DEITY then

goes to you or whomever it is meant for (in the case of VASHIKARAN) , to

manifest the purpose of the mantra & yantra.

 

A rule of thumb is, if one has many yantras, a SRI YANTRA (considered the king

of Yantras) is supposed to always be kept in the center. Also, remember that

all deities are contained within a SRI YANTRA, and that ALL MANTRAS CAN work on

a Sri Yantra. It is just that it will either work fully or partially, as the

Sri Yantra works at its greatest & fullest capacity with the SRI DEVI KHADGAMALA

STOTRAM & SRI LALITHA SAHASRANAMAM.

 

The reason being is because in Sri Vidya Sadhana, those mantras progressively

go round and round each enclosure of the SRI CHAKRA until the BINDU or point is

progressively reached at the end of those 2 chants

 

If one was to use a Sri Yantra for say a Hanuman Sadhana, it could be somewhat

effective, but not to its fullest capacity. To our highly esteemd members: If I

have missed or omitted any salient points or information, please pardon me, and

feel free to correct what I have said.
