WHAT IS SRI YANTRA

The Sri Yantra also known as the Sri Chakra represents all the fundamental principals of Tantric philosophy. It is known as the best or supreme existing yantra and all other yantras derive from it.

A Yantra is the symbolic representation of the Mother Goddess. It is made up of ‘linear and spatial ‘geometrical permutations’ of the Goddess in the mandala. You find yantras in many sacred geometry works and the design of the Sri Chakra/ Yantra is nine interwoven triangles,
four of which represent the male principle (Shiva) and five inverted triangles representing Shakti, the feminine principal. The nine triangles also represent nine basic elements or root substances (mula-prakritis) of the universe. In the human body they are represented as nine
substances; five from Shakti – skin, blood, flesh, fat and bone. The four from Shiva are – semen, marrow, vital energy (prana) and the individual soul.  
The place of the mother goddess is represented by the dot or bindu in the centre of the design. The dot has four legs
representing the deities responsible for the creation of all things.
Brahma – the creator is in the northeast.
Vishnu – the preserver is in the southeast.
Rudra – for withdrawal is in the southwest.
Sadasiva – for retention is in the northwest.
Surrounding this pattern are two concentric circles of lotus petals: the inner has 8 petals and the outer 16. The entire pattern is encased within a gated frame, called the “courtyard” or “earth stretch”.
An individuals spiritual journey or path to enlightenment from material
existence to ultimate ascension and enlightenment is mapped through the sri yantra, the spiritual journey is undertaken as a pilgrimage each step or elevation is an ascent to the centre.

The Sri Yantra represents the totality of existence and can be used as a tool in meditation.

WHAT IS TATV OF ENTIRE MANTRAS ?

मन्त्र के अन्य तत्त्व -

1. ऋषि- शिवमुख से जिस ऋषि ने मन्त्र को सुनकर सिद्ध किया वही उसका प्रणेता है। उस मन्त्र का आदिगुरु उस ऋषि को मानकर जप करने से फल प्राप्त होगा। अतः विनियोग में ऋषि का उल्लेख जरुरी है।


2. देवता- मन्त्र की शक्ति के अधिष्ठाता देव का ज्ञान होना जरुरी है।

3. छन्दः संसार की उत्पत्ति हेतु ब्रह्म की शक्ति का छन्दोमय आवरण माना है अतः मन्त्र की शक्ति का विभाग, प्रकार जानने हेतु छन्द का ज्ञान विनियोग हेतु जरूरी है।

4. बीज मन्त्र जो बीज है उसी अनुरूप मन्त्र का फल व दिशा होती है अतः इसका स्मरण अवश्य किया जाना चाहियें। बीज मन्त्र का गर्भ होता है।

5. शक्ति- जिसकी सहायता से बीज मन्त्र बन जाता है वह शक्ति कहलाती है। विनियोग ऋषि, छन्द, देवता, बीज, शक्ति एवं कीलक का उल्लेख करते हुये अपनी कामना का

उल्लेख करके (सकाम अथवा निष्काम) विनियोग करने से मन्त्र के फल की दिशा एवं मार्ग तथा प्रतिफल का स्वरूप निर्धारित होता है।

6. ऋषिन्यास- विनियोग के बाद मन्त्र का ऋष्यदिन्यस करके ऋषि, देवता, छन्द, बीज आदि आपके अंग बन जाते हैं और आपके शरीर को मन्त्र-सदृश बना देते हैं।
