Before going into the link between the two, one needs to know what a Yantra is. Let us begin there. #VedicAstrology #HappyDiwali2022
Take a DAY for example; as such it has no divisions like hours or minutes, they exist in our minds - regularizes our routine, form a biological & psychological clock ruling all aspects - reproduction, cardiac beats, a work day etc., creating a structure. #VedicAstrology
Time division is one aspect, space another. There's truly no division in space, yet we build houses, mark boundaries - mere sections of space that divide space in our minds giving it a
structure, ensuring people don't trespass others' “personal spaces”. #VedicAstrology
These divisions of space & time help mankind in organised living. This division is a YANTRA. Such YANTRA or manual division of an aspect is fine tuned to an aspect of LIFE in a deity's name - Kāḷi, Śiva, Kubēr etc., they form specific Yantras - focused version. #VedicAstrology
How are these Yantras comprehended? How do we comprehend time? Via CLOCK (geometry of time). How do we comprehend space division? Via Boundaries ( geometry of space). Similarly, to comprehend other aspects of LIFE or conscious existence, one needs similar tools. #VedicAstrology
A drawing on a 2-D plane or a 3-D construction of a solid object, which is also coincidentally called a YANTRA, helps the person to comprehend the geometric divisions of the “aspect” related to the design of YANTRA. #VedicAstrology #HappyDiwali2022
What is the link to astrology? Astrology is not the art of predictions, but the art to study the spiral of evolution. Astrology, in crude terms, mainly has three elements:
The motion of stellar objects & their periodicities form TIME-divisions. For example, the notion of 60 seconds & 60 minutes comes from LCM (least common multiple) Saturn’s (30 years) & Jupiter’s (12 yrs) periodic revolution as seen from Earth. #VedicAstrology #HappyDiwali2022
Similarly, their apparent projection on Earth i.e., “as seen from Earth”, which changes from place to place causes a SPACE-division. These two form a matrix of the DIVISION of LIFE which is theorized to rule the life on Earth, by the said stellar objects. #VedicAstrology
These divisions when interfaced to human comprehension become the many discovered YANTRAS (geometrical patterns) and associated MANTRAS (Periodic vocal utterances). #VedicAstrology #HappyDiwali2022
For example, Gāyatri mantra (or Sāvitri mantra) - having 24 syllables has direct link to SUN which divides the DAY on Earth into 24 hrs. Similarly, other mantras and planets. Same with Yantra associated with Mantras/stellar objects.
What are the similarities and differences between the forms of meditation taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda, Sadhguru, and Sri Sri Ravi Shankar? #meditation
Many people know who is Maharshi Mahesh Yogi, Sri Sri Ravishankar, Rishi Prabhakar, Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev but very few know about their source which was none other than Swami Brahmananda Saraswati who was the Shankaracharya of the Jyotir Math. #meditation
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi was a personal secretary to Swami Brahmananda Saraswati and one of his closest disciples. Even though he couldn’t become his successor as the next Shankaracharya, he did learn many meditation techniques from him. #meditation
Diwali greetings to all of you. On this auspicious occasion, I want to share with you a special gift I have from Devi Ma - the ability to create Yantras that work wonderfully in solving problems in their entirety. #HappyDiwali #HappyDiwali2022 #HappyDeepavali
Yantras resolve problems and issues. Especially those relating to Vastu and family disputes. #VedicAstrology
In this regard, they are more effective than gemstones as they have the potency to resolve the problem in its entirety. #VedicAstrology
What gives the Yantras this potency? They have to be अभिमंत्रित properly. That is, the power of mantra must get infused in Yantra for it be potent & effective.
Astrologer doing this mantra invocation must be one who does it sincerely with the aim to solve the client's problem.
As I have mentioned in my previous posts, Yantras aren't just brass plates meant to adorn your walls and beautify them. They connect your life through mantras to our Devis & Devtas as well as to Planets & the manner in which they are placed in your birth chart. #VedicAstrology
Thus, regarding Yantras, we must keep the following in mind:
If someone recommends a Yantra without reading your birth chart, then that person is talking through his hat, looks at you as a cheque book, isn't concerned with your problem getting resolved. #VedicAstrology
this person gives you a Yantra without proper invocation with mantras specific to your situation, then you know that you are being taken for a ride. This Mantra invocation is similar to Pran Pratishtha of our deities in temples. #VedicAstrology
The enchanting diagram consists of nine triangles that intersect at various points to form 43 smaller triangles. Five of the nine triangles point downwards & represent Shakti, the feminine power. The remaining four represent Shiva, the masculine & point upwards. #VedicAstrology
Aside from extremely complex geometric properties, the Sri Yantra has a very deep, detailed cosmological interpretation. It has also been observed to have a number of properties responsible for psychophysiological influences widely used in modern therapeutic suggestive methods.
