Yantra or Vedic talismans come from the ancient Hindu scriptures – the Vedas and Upanishads. “Yantra” literally means device and abode. It is believed that yantra possesses unlimited powers and its working is in complete harmony with Nature. Vedic talismans are very powerful and effective tools that remedy unfavorable astrological conditions.
Yantras are made up from Vedic symbols with straight lines, squares, rectangles, triangles and circles. These Vedic symbols are very precise in design and even the angles employed are determined to the last degree. Some Yantras may also contain numbers and alphabets of the “Devnagari” script.
Ancient Geometry of Divine Energy
The Vedic symbols represent the five basic elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, Air, Water and Ether and each element is associated with certain properties. The arrangement of Vedic symbols is such that it helps enhance the properties of one element and enervate the other. Yantras are made of many different kinds of materials such as “Ashtadhatu”, gold, silver, copper, crystals, etc. Certain materials are more suited to certain Yantras.
‘Vedic Talismans’ also can be created out of many different materials such as ‘Ashta Dhatu’ or a special eight metal alloy, gold, silver, copper, crystals or even plant leaves. Certain materials are more suited to certain Yantras. However, any Vedic Talisman has an intrinsic energy which is always radiated, irrespective of size or material and these factors are not critical to it’s power.
