Astrology - Vedic Yantras
Vedic
Yantras are geometrical figures intended to represent the basic
energies. Just as every elementary geometrical figure, a straight
line, a square, a cross or a triangle etc., has a symbolic value
corresponding to the basic notions, similarly, the Yantras symbolise
one or the other power or energy. In other words Vedic Yantras
are the graphic representations of Mantras. Yantras can be drawn,
engraved or painted on a variety of substances. The classical
eight tantrik surfaces are gold, silver, copper, crystal, birch,
bone, hide (which can include any type of paper), and Vishnu
stone (shalagrama).
Yantras should always be used on the level. If drawn on paper
the colours
preferable are red, orange, yellow or a combination of these.
They can be drawn to whatever size is required. The two main
types of yantras are Bhu and Meru. The former is flat, two dimensional,
the latter is of pyramidal form. In worship they should be placed
level on a pedestal or pitha. Before any yantra is made a suitable
object for puja, it must be given life (pranapratishta).
The Vedic Yantras are designed to remove the afflictions to
obtain a particular result eg. to have a child, to have a positive
balance in the bank, or to have the awareness to control one's
temper in order to enhance one's performance at work etc. The
Yantras are inscribed with the mystical inscriptions of the
afflicted beneficial planets at a particularly auspicious time
to suit the individual wearer.The diagrams such as circles,
triangles, squares and even a 'dot' are used as Yantras. All
these represent cosmic energies. A dot known as bindu in Sanskrit
symbolizes all pervading space-the origin of all that exists.
The yantras shall be seen daily in the morning and one shall
lit incense or lamp before the yantra every morning. It is auspicious
and blesses the native with success and wealth. Astroshastra

24 caret Gold polish , to let it effective for more days. Gold
being considered the most effective metal for Vedic Yantras,
it is always recommened Gold yantra or in alternative Gold polished

and one shall lit incense or lamp before the yantra every morning.
