In Indian culture from Ancient times to achieve happiness, prosperity, long life and good health; there has been quite an important role of Yantra, Tantra and Mantra. These Mystical Diagrams called Yantra are written on Tantra in the form of Gold, Silver, copper, Asthdhatu and Bhoj Patra symbolize different Powers. These Yantra are energized or Pran Pratishthit by using different Mantras of respective Deities. These deities in Yantra then help in achieving Particular task or desire. Yantra are energized by Seed and Tantrik Mantra which give immediate results and help in achieving desired results.
Concept of Yantra:
The Sanskrit word 'Yantra' derives from the root 'yam' meaning to sustain, hold
or support the energy inherent in a particular element, object or concept. It is
usually composed of an outer geometrical form enclosing interior geometrical
designs. Each particular design is used for a specific purpose or intent. In its
first meaning, 'Yantra' may refer to any kind of mechanical contrivance, which
is harnessed to aid an enterprise. A Yantra in this sense, therefore, is any
sort of machine or instrument such as is used in architecture, astronomy,
alchemy, chemistry, warfare or recreation.
A Sanskrit text of the eleventh century AD, Samarangana Sutradhara on the
science of architecture, gives vivid descriptions of the making and operating of
such mechanical Yantra as a wooden flying bird, wooden aero planes meant to fly
with hot mercury as fuel, male and female robot figures, etc. The meaning of the
term Yantra has been expanded to refer to religious enterprises, and has
acquired a special theological significance. Mystic Yantra are aids to and the
chief instruments of meditative discipline. Basically a Yantra used in this
context and for this purpose is an abstract geometrical design intended as a
'tool' for meditation and increased awareness.
Principles of Yantra :
Mystic Yantra are an amalgam of three principles:
1. The form principle (Akriti-rupa).
2. The function-principle (Kriya-rupa).
3. The power-principle (Sakti-rupa).
They are, first of all, believed to reveal the inner basis of the forms and
shapes abounding in the universe. Just as, whatever the outer structure, all
matter is made of an intrinsic basic unity, the atom, so each aspect of the
world can be seen in its structural form as a Yantra. As the scientist sees the
final picture of the world in the orderly, simple, atomic structures in which
certain primal shapes appear as a harmonized 'whole', so the Indian
shilpi-Yogins (makers of ritual art) seek to identify the innermost structure of
the universe by concentrating the variegated picture of world-appearances
through intense yogic vision into simple form-equations. A Yantra, then, can be
considered an ultimate form-equation of a specific energy manifesting in the
world. These simple form-equations are held to epitomize the real nature of the
cosmos as abstracted from the concrete.
In its widest application, Akriti-rupa refers to the inner or hidden form of
structures, so that any structure, from an atom to a star, has its Akriti-rupa
Yantra. Thus a flower or a leaf has an outer structure which is immediately
perceptible, but it also has an inner form, which generally consists of a
skeletal framework in which all its linear forms intersect with a central axis
or nucleus: all forms have a gross structure and a 'subtle' inner structure,
with a basic causal pattern (the inner form) for the external form.
Yantra function as revelatory symbols of cosmic truths and as instructional
charts of the spiritual aspect of human experience. All the primal shapes of a
Yantra are psychological symbols corresponding to inner states of human
consciousness, through which control and expansion of psychic forces are
possible. It is for this reason that a Yantra is said to embody a
'function-principle' (Kriya-rupa).
By constant reinforcement in ritual worship the apparently inert Yantra-forms
shake off their dormancy and act together as emblems of psychic power. In this
case, the Yantra is said to move beyond 'form' and 'function' and emerges as a
'power diagram' (Sakti-rupa) endowed with a self-generating propensity to
transform a mundane experience into a psychic one. It is at this point that the
Yantra is said to be 'revealed'. Although its outward meaning may be relatively
easy to understand, the inner meaning that gives it its efficacy is difficult to
grasp because its archetypal forms are basically concerned with the inner facts
of psychic experience, gained through intuitive vision.
Energizing Of Yantra (Pran-Pratishthit):
After purification of Yantra with Panchgavya, Panchamrit and Gangajal; the
Yantra is energized / Pran-Pratishthit with respective Mantra. Without
Energisation Yantra is not useful. It has not been kept at home/work place
without energisation. It gives otherwise negative rays which results in loss in
place of any benefit.
Guidelines for Puja: Certain Yantra once energized does not require regular Puja;
they remain hidden for whole life. Yantra, which are made on Metal like Gold,
silver, copper etc., require regular offerings and Puja. They require regular
bathing and offering of scent, rice, flower, jaggery etc. Yantra should be
placed Flat on silken yellow cloth on the Alter.
