Astrological Yantras Harness Planetary Energies for Balance and Success

Yantras indeed are more potent than anything resembling mere pictures of gods and goddesses, and they are also used to charge these images. In an Indian temple, for instance, the yantra of a deity is placed beneath the base of a deity's statue in that deity's inner sanctum, where initiation and energization and sanctification of the space take place.

Yantras as Energised Tools

The geometric forms of a Yantra activate the right hemisphere of the Karmic energy, which is visual and nonverbal. Such diagrams can be persons-symbolic or cosmic forces as inflow for our being through sound vibrations. Yantras could be drawn as mandalas or carved into stone, for copper's most effective medium for carrying Yantra, which is a known superconductor for electricity and cosmic energy.

Focusing on a yantra generates positive kinetic energy, just as the planets and deities have their electromagnetic fields affecting the emotions and karma of all beings. So, it is a very powerful tool for visual meditation, with either one or the other option of centring his mind or imitating energy patterns of a deity. The yantras then, when put to use for worship and once the energy is invoked, become symbolic representative of the deity itself or maybe the deity as you go beyond analytical thought and align with.

Shapes and Symbols in Yantras

Yantras are often made with different shapes and symbols which have specific meanings:

Lotus Flower: Symbolizes chakras or energy center of the body 

Bindu (Dot): Point of starting creation or the cosmos 

Shatkona: Union of Lord Shiva (with upward triangle) and Shakti (downward triangle)

Swastika: Good fortune, prosperity and victory over the spiritual domain

Sanskrit Characters: Sounds of chakras or deities 

Circle: Energy of water 

Square: Energy of earth 

Upward triangle: Energy of fire (or spiritual aspiration) 

Downward triangle: Energy of water (or creativity) 

Diagonal lines: Energy of air 

Horizontal line: Energy of water 

Vertical line: Energy of fire 

Point: Energy of ether. 

These are the symbols which metaphorically constitute the Yantra, focusing its power on connecting higher spiritual realms.
