definitions of the word Yantra. Our objective is not to define Yantra simply;
rather we shall make an effort to help the readers understand that what is a
Yantra, what is its significance and what type of powers it has and how one can
get benefited with the use of Yantras. Literally 'Yantra' means an instrument.

macrocosm. The Yantra is a geometric design which provides you a focusing point
for concentration and meditation. The Yantras are considered highly efficient
because they help you do better in contemplation, concentration and meditation
and the possibilities of your making mistakes or going astray while meditating
also decrease with the smart use of Yantras. As Mantras are recited to attain
realization of God similarly visualisation or imagination of Yantra is also
helpful to attain union with God. Yantras in most advanced phases are used to
achieve total silence in mind where mental chatter stops completely. This is

object like Yantra. This Yantra shall be used till the time your mind achieves
aspired silence. After achieving this silence you shall be training yourself to
keep your mind empty without the help of Yantra. , Slowly-slowly you shall be
becoming more progressive in your efforts of realization of God in your life.
