Sacred Yantras of Hindu Deities
Explore the mystical geometric diagrams, their mantras, and spiritual significance from authentic tantric traditions
Understanding Yantras
Yantras are sacred geometrical diagrams used in Hindu tantric traditions as instruments for meditation, concentration, and invoking divine energies. According to the text "The Yantras of Deities and their Numerological Foundations" by Fredrick W. Bunce:
"Literally meaning an 'instrument,' 'apparatus' or a 'talisman,' yantra is a kind of mystical diagram used in tantra for both meditation and invoking a divinity, and is believed to possess/arouse occult powers."
Each yantra is associated with specific deities and constructed with precise geometrical patterns that carry numerological and symbolic significance. When energized with proper mantras, yantras are believed to help devotees attain various spiritual and material benefits.
