Small thread on Yantras.
Do market bought Yantras work?
Ans: No, market Yantras are mostly useless.
Why?
A Yantra is designed to hold a mantraic energy of a Devata. There is a process to it.
Bhojapatra/ wood Yantras on specific materials are best. The idea is that the sadhaka takes a specific Sankalpa and then decides a course of sadhana to fulfil that Sankalpa.
1008 repetitions of x mantra times 40 days + energy transferred to Yantra at end of every day.
I explain the process of transferring energy and other details in one of my older Sri Vidya workshops.
Thus, the Yantra made on a device which becomes a receptacle for mantraic energy is made and suitable kept at end of sadhana for worship.
This is an arcane and rigid method
Thus, the Yantra becomes capable of holding the energy and that process is then repeated at intervals… when all conditions are fulfilled, the Sankalpa is completed as long as it is within the possibilities of reality)
Same can be done on a copper Yantra but .. it’s not quite the same depending on Sankalpa/ Devata/task… etc.
Note that these work especially well for protection… that’s one reason why one should have been doing sadhana for some time in the first place.
