The benefits of all Yantras are therefore to be found individually and collectively in the Sri Yantra. The Sri Yantra confers luck, prosperity and fame.

The Sri Yantra, also known as the Yantra of the cosmos, is a highly eye-catching and one of the most dynamic of all Yantras with a total of nine triangles, four pointing upward and five pointing downward. Despite this asymmetrical aspect, the diagram gives an aura of perfect symmetry.

The upward pointing triangles are Shiv triangles, and the downward pointing ones are Shakti. The intersection of these triangles symbolically produces manifestations in the material world.

The dot, or the 'bindu' in the center, represents individual consciousness, otherwise translated as the spirit, or the soul. The Sri Yantra should always face the west, placed in the east.

Features: This Yantra is embossed on a square plate of Panch Dhatu, the most auspicious metal made from 5 metals - Gold, Silver, Copper, Brass & Iron. It is gold plated, giving it a stunning look.

This Yantra has been specially energised to radiate its beneficial powers. It can be placed in your temple at home, on your worktable, in your cash box or, if you like, even in your wallet or purse.

5 cms x 7.5 cms (3"" x 3"") Yantras anointed with chandan (sandalwood) paste, sindoor (vermilion) and milk mixed with floral-scented oil.

Yantra Puja: Owing to a great many requests from our clientele who wished to have some idea as to how the Yantras offered on the indiayogi website are energised, we decided to show them the elaborate and beautiful process in detail. The Yantra 'puja' (adoration) was performed in the Shri Bhidbanjan Mahadev Temple - a Shiva temple, which is located at Colaba (Mumbai, India).

The entire Yantra puja is an fairly elaborate ritual, which goes on for over 5 hours. The 'pandits' (temple priests) place all the Yantras in their groups.

Each set of Yantras has a kalash (brass or copper pot filled with sacred water) with a coconut and different fruits, grains and betel leaves in front of it. All Yantras are then anointed with chandan (sandalwood) paste, sindoor (vermilion) and milk mixed with floral-scented oil.

A white flower is also kept on each Yantra, to worship it individually as the Yantra is a deity in its own right. The ritual begins with 'Abhishek' (the ceremonial bath), worshipping Lord Ganesh.

Ganesh holds a unique position in the religious culture of India, a position that has no parallel in any other religion. Any ceremony, ritual, puja or new undertaking has to begin with invoking the power of Ganapati, otherwise it is regarded as futile.

After the Ganesh puja is complete, each God and Goddess of the respective Yantra is worshipped. This is done with the recitation of a Mantra for that particular Yantra.

For example, for the Sri Yantra, the Sri Mantra is recited; for the Gayatri Yantra, the Gayatri Mantra is recited; for the Maha Mrityunjay Yantra, the Maha Mrityunjay Mantra is recited, and so on. Preparations are then made for the Yagna (sacred fire ritual) to be performed.

This is the concluding part of the Yantra puja and goes on for over an hour. Sandalwood, fragrant herbs and pure ghee are used as an offering to the 'Agni' (sacred fire), with the recitation of Mantras.

The Yantras are then energised with the vibrations of the Mantras. The energised Yantras are thus empowered and support and enable the purpose for which they are being used.

Yantras Disclaimer: All Yantras are to be understood as enhancing potential that exists. They cannot force something to happen that is against natural karma.

Yantras aid and assist in bringing about a desirable outcome, but they cannot force something to take place. You cannot force somebody to love you, you cannot force good luck and prosperity, but Yantras will speed up the process if it exists as a potential, they help in reducing the time before some thing good manifests, they help in removing obstacles that may exist.

Yantras cannot force some thing to happen because it is desired; they enable it to be manifest if it is karmically deserved. Yantras must always be handled with the utmost respect and consideration as careless and cavalier treatment will quickly reduce their power.

Y a n t r a s F A Q s: Our FAQs are as comprehensible as possible and should answer most reasonable questions. Any further questions will be answered only for customers.

What is a Yantra?: Literally ""Loom"" or later, meaning ""Instrument"" or even ""Machine"" In actual practice a Yantra is a symbolic representation of aspects of divinity, usually the Mother Goddess. It is an interlocking matrix of geometric figures, typically circles, triangles and floral patterns that form fractal patterns of great elegance and beauty.

The Yantra is primarily a meditation tool both for serious spiritual seekers as well as sculptors in the classical tradition. Yantras are also used for more mundane purposes, to enhance the quality of life, to attract prosperity and abundance, even love, to heal and relieve health problems, to protect oneself from negative forces and so on.

In ancient texts, Lord Shiva is supposed to have explained the mystical meaning of the Yantra to his consort, the Goddess Parvati thus, ""The Yantra is as essential to a god as oil is to the oil lamp or as a body is to a living human being"". Indiayogi now offers you energized Yantras from its Yogi Shop.

These Yantras, be it copper/panch-dhatu/crystal, can be placed in your temple, put above a door or kept at your work place where, if worshipped with sincere devotion, they will bring their own rewards. Why is it important for a Yantra to be energized and what does that imply? A Yantra has to be brought 'alive' through the specific ritual prescribed for it so that it can radiate its beneficent energies in an optimal manner.

By energizing the Yantra it is immediately 'tuned and turned on' so as to speak. indiayogi's Yantras are exclusively energised through an elaborate ritual at a temple, lasting over 5 hours.

The ritual is conducted by pandits (temple priests) who specialise in Yantra pujas, infusing them with the respective deity's energies. Can a Yantra force a 'desirable' event or occurrence to take place? No.

A Yantra is above all a spiritual system of energy and it cannot be either subverted for selfish ends that is not in harmony with the larger universe or tricked into conferring underserved benefits. How soon can one expect to feel the benefits of wearing or installing the Yantras?: One can expect benefits of Yantras after 45 days.

Some Yantras begin to give results immediately if the karmic potential is ripe. Some Yantras work better over the long term, steadily increasing the levels of abundance they confer.

However, despite one's best intentions, the desired results may not always be achieved. This is usually for reasons of karma that have to be worked out and experienced before the organism can achieve its desire.

Why do the energized Yantras from indiayogi sometimes appear 'smudged'? These are deliberately placed on the appropriate spot as part of the Yantra energizing ritual. They usually consist of vermillion or sandalwood paste and are applied by the priest as the culmination of the energizing process.

Washing them off or wiping them away is thus not a good idea. What do I do with the Sandalwood powder that I receive along with the Yantra order? The sandalwood powder in the sachet that is given by indiayogi can be used to make a light paste with the addition of water.

This can be used as an offering to the Yantra in the simple puja that you can perform. Using the tip of your third finger touch the paste lightly to the central point of the Yantra and wherever you see points of triangles or alternatively touch the paste to the petals of the lotus formation within the Yantra.

What simple worship of the Yantras can I perform on my own? Yantras being living energy systems, they respond to all sensory stimuli. Traditionally a lighted oil-lamp (a small one!) in front of the Yantra was regarded as the best worship.

Burning incense of various sorts is also well regarded as is the auditory stimuli of chanting mantras or playing tapes of sacred chants in the room. What is the life span of these Yantras?: These Yantras last a lifetime.

However if a Yantra was obtained for a specific accomplishment and has served its purpose, then it may withdraw its energy. Is it necessary to possess and chant the mantra associated with each Yantra? Not at all, though indiayogi has received many requests from purchasers of Yantras for the mantras that go along with each Yantra.

To fulfill that demand, we now provide you with audio files of the mantras for our bestselling Yantras. However, some points are worth noting.

Mantras work only when pronounced absolutely correctly with no margin for error. That has been taken care of, correct phonetics, pronunciation and so on in the audio file, so it can be played with great benefit.

Each Yantra we sell has already been correctly energized by the chanting of the appropriate mantra for it a full total of 108 times, accompanied by an offering into the sacred yagna fire for each one of those 108 repetitions. This is done by a priest who is an expert in Yantra worship.

Any further chanting of mantras over the Yantra is at best superfluous, though again it is a matter of personal comfort levels. The best way to keep your purchased Yantra's energy at peak level is not to chant the Yantra's mantra but your personal spiritual mantra.

That is how these things work. How can I display and take care of my Yantra? It is not recommended that you frame your Yantra, either in glass or merely with a frame of any material.

A Yantra is a symbolic representation of the entire universe and framing it is to bind and limit it. You may however place the Yantra on a stand, or desk standup frame, taking care that none of the circles are obscured.

A Yantra accumulates power and energy if left alone. Astringent cleaning liquids sear away the layers of energy that start accumulating upon the surface and within the body of the Yantra.

Wipe dust away gently with a soft cloth - that should not be used for any other purpose. You may also, sometimes, bathe the Yantra in milk and water, which are purifying substances.

Where in a room should one place the Yantra? The Yantra has to be placed in the north/north-west direction facing south/south-east direction in a room. Except for: The Vaastu Yantra, which is supposed to be placed in the south-west corner of the house, facing north-east.

The Sri Yantra, which is supposed to be placed in the east, facing west. The Kuber Yantra, which is to be placed in the north facing south or east facing west.

What is the correct time to install the Yantra? It can be installed at any one of these times - the twilight period at dawn and dusk, at 12 noon or after 4.00 pm.

Where do I place the free Brass Koorma (Tortoise) that I have received along with my Yantra? You may place it in front of the Yantra, with the head of the Koorma facing the Yantra. The Koorma signifies the control of the prana which transforms the person.

The kurma or tortoise breathes in, and moves freely between, the spheres of earth (financial aspects) and water (emotions) representing their harmonious integration, upon which the spiritual life, represented by the Sri Yantra can stand securely. The Sri Yantra is regarded as the Supreme Yantra.

By energizing the Yantra it is immediately 'tuned and turned on' so as to speak. indiayogi's Yantras are exclusively energised through an elaborate ritual at a temple, lasting over 5 hours.

The ritual is conducted by pandits (temple priests) who specialise in Yantra pujas, infusing them with the respective deity's energies. Can a Yantra force a 'desirable' event or occurrence to take place? No.

A Yantra is above all a spiritual system of energy and it cannot be either subverted for selfish ends that is not in harmony with the larger universe or tricked into conferring underserved benefits. Why do the energized Yantras from indiayogi sometimes appear 'smudged'? These are deliberately placed on the appropriate spot as part of the Yantra energizing ritual.

They usually consist of vermillion or sandalwood paste and are applied by the priest as the culmination of the energizing process. What simple worship of the Yantras can I perform on my own? Traditionally a lighted oil-lamp (a small one!) in front of the Yantra was regarded as the best worship.

Burning incense of various sorts is also well regarded as is the auditory stimuli of chanting mantras or playing tapes of sacred chants in the room. How can I display and take care of my Yantra? A Yantra is a symbolic representation of the entire universe and framing it is to bind and limit it.

You may however place the Yantra on a stand, or desk standup frame, taking care that none of the circles are obscured. Astringent cleaning liquids sear away the layers of energy that start accumulating upon the surface and within the body of the Yantra.
