Yantra

Yantra

           Yantra’s are mystical, geometric symbols. These yantra’s often consist of triangles. The word yantra means a liberating instrument or device. It is a microscopic replica of the universe and its principle energies. If properly internalized, the yantra becomes a powerful meditation device. It can aid the practitioner in ascending into state of inner harmony and well being and occasionally into higher states of consciousness.

            Everything ( vastu ) in the universe is divine. Hence everything in the universe can be used as an aid in realising our inherent divinity and the divinity around us.For meditation, the viberations of the universe in the form of sound mantras and the vibrations of the physical world are used as yantras.

           Yantras are designed by experts ( rishis ) and appear as an arrangement of straight lines and some symbols or letters. When we meditate on them, subtle vibrations are created in us. Our energies experience an upswing.  Everybody knows the six pointed Star of David of the Jews. In Indian culture it is known as the Bhairavi  Chakra. Jiten sir calls this symbol as the Fa- Maa yantra. This six pointed star is made up of two equal triangles which are completely symmetrical. They are pla  ced one over the other such that an equilateral smaller triangle is formed at each of the six ends and an equal sided hexagon is formed in the middle.

The triangle with the apex at the top is called Fa triangle. It symbolises the infinite universal giving energy ( Shiv ).

The creative principle.

The triangle with the apex at the bottom is called Maa triangle. It symbolises the earth energy  ( shakti ).

The infinite knowledge.

This yantra yields tremendous spiritual power. If one regularly gazes at the six pointed star, one can balance one’s  contemplative life with one’s social life, one’s inner knowledge with one’s outward expression. Jiten sir has designed a fortune tool called as YANTRON, which is a far better representation of the six pointed star yantra. The YANTRON can be used to energise self, heal others and self and energise entire vaastus.

Yantra are esoteric magnifying glasses that amplify cosmic energy to help us in healing and expansion of consciousness. Yantras should be employed with utmost respect and selfless sincerity.
