Training of Yantra is the highest ideal of spiritual life through which mind is concentrated on the highest power or God. In the words of Pt. Deva Datta Shastri, different points of the body are the centress of power. Hence to achieve perfection, Yantra is helpful to concentrate on the power of the tutelary god. Through Dhyana (concentration and recitation of Cryptic Mantra, the power of the tutelary God enters the yantra thus fusing life in it. This is the reason why, worshipping the Yantra and wearing it on the body, all the perfection's are achieved. Basically Yantra is like a map of the different power centers of the body, and by wearing or worshipping them, that power center is activated, There are different kinds of Yantras. Their forms and shape are fixed as per the cult or the method of worship. Different gods have different kinds of Yantra as well, in the line of having a distinct but specific Mantra for them. To achieve perfection in desired field correct balance between Mantra power and Yantra power through correct methods is essential.
Use of Yantra is essentially necessary for Tantrik or Occultist devotion. Idol of the deity is also similar to a Yantra that acts as a medium for concentration. Such as a Mantra is a phonetic appearance. Similarly Yantra is a dimensional or formal way to show a deity and its power. In the construction of Yantra letters, numbers, lines, symbolic shapes and other vivid forms are drawn on paper, birchleaf, metal sheet, stones and gems etc. Strictly in accordance with the rigid Yantrika definitions. There are examples of scores of Yantras with geometrical shapes and figures. Their expansion is unlimited. Thus all kinds of formal or dimensional expression are called as Yantra.
CONSTRUCTION OF YANTRA
There is a well-defined method for construction of Yantra. According to the method lines, dot, cryptic letter, cryptic Mantra, colours, shapes, figures etc. are used to construct a Yantra. Mantra deity, Yantra, concentration, worship etc. are all the basis of training vis Tantrika system. They are all assumed as related to the same philosophy. Thus, the method of Yantra construction varies as per the purpose for the perfection of Yantra also, different times are fixed according to the purpose. Even the media for construction of Yantra, like paper, ink, pen, metal sheet etc. also vary as per the purpose.
In the construction of Yantra for occult, Geometrical shapes and architectural figures have as much significance as religious art and idols generally have. In the oculist Yantra system and formal depiction, even the smallest dot has complete significance. Even the apparently common geometrical shapes such as dot, line circle, triangle, tetragon, hexagon, octagon etc. are not mere sketches, but they are the main media to express the hidden art of Tantra. Use of Cryptic mantra, cryptic letters cryptic figures and cryptic number is an inherent especially of occultism. Like the dimensional figures, all the fifty letters from A to Gya have an important place in the construction of occultist yantra and figures. Varied inscription of cryptic letters, available in combined forms as Hreema, Kleem, Aim etc. is also found in this art. OMKARA is similarly an occultist formula. In the construction of occultist Yantra on metal or paper sheet, inscription of cryptic letters, independent or otherwise, is as much important as figures or idols. Similarly, numbers from 1 to 36 are the cryptic digits, various inscriptions of which is seen in Yantra construction. These cryptic digits are assumed, to be based on the fourteen powers of Yantra. Every digit among them has an elemental symbol and every one of them represents a deity and his power as per the specific arrangement of the Yantra construction.
In arithmetic digits from 1 to 9 are considered root. With different combination of these digits and inclusion of Zero, innumerable numbers are formed. Digits 1, 9 and 0 have extremely important place in occultism. Single letter crypts have many meanings similarly every cryptic digit shows many meanings.
One more specialty of the Tantra art is the symbolism of colour in it. Occultism uses symbols of different colours to express the different elements and hypothetical feelings. As per the beliefs of Tantra, white, red and blue are the principal colours. A particular figure assumes the symbol to show different feelings according to its colour. In the Tantrika art, expansion of symbols that result from the mixing of these three principal colours is seen. Five major physical elements similarly have different but fixed colours for them. The element earth has yellow, water has while, the fire has red, air has blue, and ether (sky) has black colours. Thus, a single dot when inscribed in white and red differently shows Shiva and Shakti respectively. Thus provision of independent colour expression for various symbols, is a unique specialty of Tantra art.
By the medium of Yantra, the power of deity is concentrated at a single place. It can be done according to two purposes
- For peace and
- For destruction.
All the major types of Yantra construction can be understood with the help of following classification:
- Geometrical shapes Dot, Line, triangle, tetragon, circle etc.
- Cryptic letters,
- Digits Cryptic or otherwise.
- Figure of the deity,
- Human figure and parts of body,
- Abstract of active symbols as per the Tantrika devotion,
- Natural forces and powers of the nature (animals, vegetation etc.),
- Different lifeless figures.
Shri Yantra is the most popular and famous Yantra of occultism. It is far more significant in Tantrika worship than any figure of deity or form or symbol. Shri Yantra is a combined symbolic form of Shiva and Shakti who are referred to with different names also viz. Kameshvari, Kama and Kala, Paramshiva and Paramashakti, etc. This Yantra is composed of many Chakras or Yantras, which are assumed to have developed from the central joyful dot of that Yantra for the sake of creation.
THE WEALTH GIVING SHRI YANTRA
In Shri Yantra, nine (9) rings and nine (9) triangles combinedly form a specific shape. According to one school of thoughts there are only eight rings, because the central dot must be counted separately. But the more popular belief is that while counting the dots in the rings, the first, of the nine rings is formed by the three lines that encircle it. These three lines have four entrances on the four sides. Hence it is called as Bhupur Chakra that shows the element earth, and symbolises the mantle.
Infact this concept has been taken from the rectangular configuration of the temples, at the same time it shows its architural values as well. It has three circles or rings in it. The place between the outer tetragon and inner three rings is called as Trailokyamohana Chakra. It is followed by a lotus shape ring that has sixteen petals and is known as Sarvashaparipuraka, means capable to fulfill all the hopes and desires. After it is present Sarva Skshomana ring in lotus form with eight petals. Inside it are five up-facing and four down-facing triangles, that unitedly form the Yantra's shape, so that forty-three triangles appeared to be formed by just nine triangles. It is a means to achieve all kind of fortune. Inside it is a circular form composed of ten triangles. This shape is known as Sarvarthasadhaka Chakra. Inside it is again a circular shape of composed of ten triangles, and known as Sarvarakshakar Chakra which provides all type of protection. After that is the position of octagon named Sarvarogahar Chakra. Inside it is a down-facing triangle known as Sarvasiddhiprada Chakra. At the center is present the Sarvandamaya Chakra as the smallest and central dot which shows the combined form of Shiva Shakti. (Fig. Shri Yantra)
