Yantra – the Energy Diagrams 
23.03.2019

The Yantras are geometric diagrams or energy diagrams representing various energy fields, mainly from tantric traditions. Yantra literally means machine or instrument. In Hinduism, since ancient times Yantras are used during worship to correct the economic situation, to defeat enemies and to please god & goddesses. Specific Yantras are associated with specific deities. Most popular Yantras are Sri Yantra, Lakshmi Yantra, Sukh Samridhi Yantra, Vyapaar Vriddhi Yantra, Vastu Yantra, Kubar Yantra, Hanuman Yantra, etc.
Yantras are the physical form of the mantras having various shapes and using lines, dots and shapes such as triangle, circle, hexagon, octagon and the symbolic petals of the lotus spreading from the center. These are symbolic representations of this process of evolution and involution. When these concentric figures are gradually growing away from its center (bindu) in stages, this is for human beings a symbol of the process of macrocosmic evolution. When they are gradually growing towards its center, this is for human beings a symbol of the process of microcosmic involution.
In Hindu ritual practices, which date back to the Vedic times, Yantras are created using certain objects, symbols, sounds, names and forms, and specific divisions of time to invoke the power of a deity.

Generally, yantras have following constituents:
  1. Point (Bindu) – The point is located in the center of the yantra from which all forms and creations radiates. 
  2. Triangle – Another shape in yantras is triangle generally pointing upward or downward. The downward pointing triangle represents Shakti; the female principle and upright triangle represents Shiva; the male principle.
  3. Hexagram – The hexagon represents two equilateral triangles pointing opposite sides usually upwards and downwards symbolizing union of male and female principles.
  4. Lotus – Lotus symbolizes creation, purity, transcendence and sphere of absolute. It represent water element.
  5. Circle – Circle represents ether.
