Yantra

In sacred spiritual practice, Yantra is used as a geometric tool for the upliftment and progress of human life. It is based on the use of divine symbols and sacred geometric patterns that represent spiritual energies. In the combined practice of Yantra and Mantra, the geometric form of the Yantra and the sound vibrations produced through Mantra work together as powerful spiritual instruments.

When properly energized through disciplined practice and devotion, they are believed to help open the path toward personal growth, inner strength, and spiritual progress. Mantras create a state of purified consciousness and help the mind become focused and steady. Through this concentration, the divine symbols represented in the Yantra become active as spiritual tools, generating positive energy around the individual.

A Yantra in itself is a geometric form, but its true spiritual power is believed to emerge only after it is properly consecrated and energized through ritual practice. In spiritual tradition, the Yantras used in astrology and Dharma Darshan are often prepared by placing the individual’s Ishta Devata at the center, and then energizing the Yantra through the Beej mantras of the deity as well as the planetary deities indicated in the person’s horoscope or Darshan Kundali.
