The
Sanskrit word '
yantra'
derives from the root 'yam' meaning to sustain, or hold. Hence in metaphysical
terms a
yantra is
visualized as receptacle of the highest spiritual essence.
A Yantra is
a pure geometric configuration, composed of basic primal shapes. These shapes
are psychological symbols corresponding to inner states of human consciousness.
This innate simplicity of composition is identified with spiritual presence.
The use of such elementary shapes is not simplistic but represents the highest
conception in visual terms, because the projection of the symbol is then direct
and bold, so that even a small miniature can create a sense of expansiveness.
The dynamism of tantric
imagery is generated by a quest for geometric
order. A yantra
represents a particular configuration whose power increases in proportion to
the abstraction and precision of the diagram. A yantra
gradually grows away from its center, in stages, until its expansion is complete.
Around the center are several concentric figures which take part in this expansion.
This concentric
architecture defines the volume of the yantra and creates a rhythmic unity.
The predominant elementary forms of which yantras are constituted are the point, line, circle, triangle, square and the lotus symbol. All of these forms are juxtaposed, combined, intersected and repeated in various ways to produce the desired objective.
Each yantra
satisfies a different purpose, which is indicated in its title, signifying either
the primary deity associated with it, or the particular problem which meditation
on the Yantra will help resolve.
Using Yantra for Healing: The Benefits of Integrating Yantra into
Your Wellness Routine
Yantra is a geometrical diagram that is mainly associated with the
Tantric traditions of Jainism, Hinduism, and Buddhism. It is
viewed as a sacred object and is considered a Mandala or a prime
tool for practicing Sadhana by spiritual seekers and
transcendentalists. Yantras are associated with a particular deity
and are used for attracting specific benefits such as wealth,
health, protection from negative energies, etc. The geometric
forms in a Yantra are arranged in a symmetrical pattern. These
patterns and designs are diagrammatic representations of specific
Mantras which help to bring in positive energy. The Mantras not
only heal the individual physically and mentally but also help in
elevating them in their spiritual path. A Yantra has a certain
kind of impact on the space in which you live and therefore, it is
preferred to install it near the entrance of your house or in your
living room. It may also be put up on walls.
There are different types of healing Yantras. These are very
powerful and every Yantra has its own benefits and healing
energy. Let us take a look at some of the benefits that Yantras
offer:
Relief from diseases
Yantra is designed according to the Vedic scriptures. It frees the
worshiper from major or fatal diseases and provides them with
mental peace. A person is advised to worship Yantras such as Rog
Nivaran Yantra, Shri Dhanvantari Upasana Yantra, and Maha
Mrityunjaya (Shiva Yantra).
Resolve marital issues
Installing Yantra and worshiping it by chanting the associated
mantra helps bring good luck in life. Men and women facing marital
issues or struggling to find a life partner are advised to worship
the Mangal Yantra, Katyayani Yantra, Mohini Yantra, and Shukra
Yantra as they reverse all the negative issues in marital life.
Remove obstacles in life
People who are facing the onslaught of miseries and sufferings in
their life are recommended to meditate upon the Shani Yantra, Shri
Ganesha Yantra, and Pujanartha Mangal Yantra.
Protection from evil powers
Yantras also play a major role in reversing the ill effects of
black magic, ghostly attacks, negative influences, and other
obstacles in life. The most powerful Yantras for this are Shri
Narasimha Yantra, Shri Mahakali Yantra, and Shri Bagalamukhi
Yantra.
Attract wealth and prosperity
Yantras are especially known for bringing all the material
opulence into the lives of those who worship with all seriousness
and determination. Some of the most common and powerful Yantras
for this purpose are Shri Yantra, Shri Agni Yantra, and Shri
Mahalakshmi Kubera Yantra.
How to use a healing Yantra?
- The Yantra is hung on the wall. Its central focal point is
placed at the level of your eyes.
- Focus your mind by concentrating on the Bindu at the center of
the Yantra.
- Gaze at the entire Yantra for a few minutes and chant the
mantra.
- Now you will be able to tap into the divine energy of the
Yantra.
The energy of a Yantra flows to its surroundings and attracts all
the positivity, thereby pushing the negativity out. Those who
daily worship the Yantras and chant the specific mantras are
protected from unwanted influences and remain peaceful, unbothered
by the outside world.
