291--Q&A WITH SWAMIJI--Yantra questions

[Guest guest]

Question from Rajan:

I was just reading the Shri Lalita Trishati strotram from the guru

gita book and came across the description of Shri Chakra,

Is the chakra same as the Sarva Bhadra Mandal Yantra in the Shiva

Puja book or does the Shri chakra yantra have more intricate

triangular patterns?

 

Swamiji's response:

No, the Sarva Bhadra Mandal is particular to the Shree Chakra Yantra

of Chandi also called as Chandi Shree Chakra Yantra. This is

different for the Meru Shree Chakra Yantra which has thirty-six

triangles.

 

Question from Rajan:

In Shri Vidya is the yantra the primary medium for invocation and

offering of puja articles?

 

Swamiji's response:

No. A yantra is a tool or a medium. Shri Vidya invokes many mediums,

of which, the yantra is one.
