Yantra
literally means
"instrument". A Yantra is a geometric design
acting as a highly efficient tool for contemplation,
concentration and meditation. Yantras carry spiritual
significance, and point the user to higher levels of
consciousness.
The Yantra provides a focal point that is a window into the
absolute. When the mind is concentrated on a single, simple
object (in this case a Yantra), the mental chatter ceases.
Eventually, the object is dropped when the mind can remain empty
and silent without help. In the most advanced phases, it is
possible to attain union with God by the geometric visualization
of a Yantra. The Yantra is like a
microcosmic picture of the macrocosm.
It is a focusing point and an outer and inner doorway. The
Yantras are often focused on a specific deity and so by tuning
into the different Yantras you can tap into certain deities or
creative force centers in the universe.
