Yantras

What is Yantra? Why should Yantra be Abhimantrit?

In literal terms, Yantra means a machine. Spiritual Yantra is a tool through which you can manifest, transform and fulfil all your wishes through the universe. Yantra is a miniature representation of the energy of the universe. Yantras can also be called spiritual tools or instruments. It works according to three principles. 

Aakriti - the shape and structure, that is, the form of the yantra
Kriya - the purpose and goal of the yantra
Shakti -tool that attracts the power of the specific deity into it by invoking the deity

Thus, the principle of Aakriti i.e. what is their form? Kriya i.e. for what purpose they are to be used and the third and most important is Shakti i.e. gathering the power of the deity in it by invoking it. 

In scriptures, yantras have been represented as gods. Moreover, Gods reside in these yantras and they give the desired results faster than any Pran-Prathisthit Idol.  

Why is it necessary to Abhimantrit (energize) the Yantras?
Yantras represent the universe. They directly attract the energy for which they are created, but without any spiritual process you cannot manifest the desired results through these yantra. This spiritual process is known as Abhimantra. In this Abhimantra process, Yantra is energized with the power of the mantras of the primary deity of that Yantra    . This increases the energy of the instruments and it becomes easier to get the desired results from them. This is a kind of Vedic principle. Benefits are obtained only by worshiping the auspicious yantras, because dieties are invoked with the power of mantras in that yantra. Devotique follows this tradition of Vedas and brings these Yantras to you fully charged and energized.
