All ancient cultures had sacred geometric designs representative of their Gods,
which had a mantra (or sacred sound vibration) that corresponded to it. Vedic Yantras are geometrical figures
intended to represent the basic energies. Just as every elementary geometrical figure, a straight line,
a square, a cross or a triangle etc., has a symbolic value corresponding to the basic notions, similarly, the Yantras symbolise one or the other power or energy. In the Vedic culture, we find much power and energy said to be held within sacred geometric symbols. In other words Vedic Yantras are the graphic representations of Mantras. Yantras can be drawn, engraved or painted on a variety of substances.
Yantra means a "talisman", or "instrument" or " amulet" or "apparatus" which, if prepared and created by a qualified person as well as utilised under his specific instructions for fruitful results, will help to gain the objectives or ambition. Although it would not be a difficult task for most of us to copy the form of a yantra, it would not have the desired effect. Furthermore, to be perfectly honest, it would be all but useless if not created by a qualified person and then "infused" with the specific energy via the medium of mantra. Otherwise, it becomes just an interesting form or picture to look at, but has no real effect on time or circumstances within life.
Yantras are not "lucky charms" to be worn or displayed as icons of power in and of themselves. Much specific knowledge and ability must go into their preparation and much dedication and worship is required to achieve the desired effects. Yantras should always be used on the level. Before any Yantra is a suitable object for puja, it must be given life (pranapratishta).
In todays world, a Yantra is certainly substantial & essential in every field of your life. Yantras are specifically designed
& formed in a way to remove the troubles to attain some desirableresults like, success in your profession, to acquire wealth, to win in court cases, to have a child, to have a positive balance in the bank, or to have the awareness to control one's temper in order to enhance one's performance at work, to ward off diseases and to progress in meditation etc. By having a Yantra and keeping it in a sacred place in your house, looking at it everyday can fulfill your desires and help in attaining your goals.
There are different types of Yantras for different purposes. They can help you to attain success in your business, bring the person under your control, and bring wealth and prosperity to you. The Yantras have to be purified and energized before using it. Yantras energized during the nights of Maha Shivratri, Holi and Diwali are most effective and powerful. Normally the related Mantras are also chanted in the presence of the Yantras for quick results.
Yantra is not a magic but a path or technique through which one can attain siddhi and attain desired goals &objectives and is the shortest way provided followed with instructions and directions. There is no doubt, that Yantra shakti is very wide. Do good and reap good. In our various Shastras, Yantra has been held in high esteem as it is belief that it is the only way of realisation of God and desires. It is said that Devas reside in Yantras so without performing pooja of Yantra you can not appease Devas and neither you can attain the desired results of Yantras.
The Yantras are inscribed with the mystical inscriptions of the afflicted beneficial planets at a particularly auspicious time to suit the individual wearer.The diagrams such as circles, triangles, squares and even a 'dot' are used as Yantras. All these represent cosmic energies. A dot known as bindu in Sanskrit symbolizes all pervading space-the origin of all that exists.
The Yantras are mainly for Pooja and Use. The Yantras are made for different purposes. Every purpose has to be gained through specific type of Yantras. As we know that, Devas resides in yantras so in many parts of country Yantras are placed in temples and worshipped, after due decoration with Ornaments, cloths etc.

Vedic Yantras are Energised (Pran pratishta) by learned purohits, by reciting the vedic mantra of the particular Devi or Deva.
Yantra literally means loom, instrument or machine. In actual practice, a yantra is a symbolic representation of aspects of divinity, usually the Mother Goddess. It is an interlocking matrix of geometric figures, circles, triangles and floral patterns that form fractal patterns of elegance and beauty. Yantras function as revelatory symbols of cosmic truths. It is believed that mystical yantras reveal the inner basis of forms and shapes abounding in the universe. A Yantra is for the visual sense the same as a Mantra is for the auditive sense - they are both instruments used to induce a specific resonance. Practitioners oftgen use a Yantra and a Mantra at the same time, usually representing the same aspect of the Divine.
Though drawn in two dimensions, a yantra is supposed to represent a three-dimensional sacred object. Three-dimensional yantras are now becoming increasingly common.
Meditating with a Yantra effectively is not culturally dependent, so a person can use it even outside the spiritual school it originated from. What is required though is a keen awareness and sensitivity in order to be able to "tune in" and feel its specific resonance
A Mantra is a religious or mystical syllable or poem, typically from the Sanskrit language. Their use varies according to the school and philosophy associated with the mantra. They are primarily used as spiritual conduits, words or vibrations that instill one-pointed concentration in the devotee. Other purposes have included religious ceremonies to accumulate wealth, avoid danger, or eliminate enemies. Mantras originated in the Vedic religion of India, later becoming an essential part of the Hindu tradition and a customary practice within Buddhism, Sikhism and Jainism. The use of mantras is now widespread throughout various spiritual movements which are based on, or off-shoots of, the practices in the earlier Eastern religions.
Mantras are interpreted to be effective as sound (vibration), to the effect that great emphasis is put on correct pronunciation (resulting in an early development of a science of phonetics in India). They are intended to deliver the mind from illusion and material inclinations. Chanting is the process of repeating a mantra.
Mantras were originally conceived in the great Hindu scriptures known as the Vedas. Within practically all Hindu scriptures, the writing is formed in painstakingly crafted two line "shlokas" and most mantras follow this pattern, although mantras are often found in single line or even single word combinations.
The most basic mantra is Aum, which in Hinduism is known as the "pranava mantra," the source of all mantras. The philosophy behind this is the Hindu idea of nama-rupa (name-form), which supposes that all things, ideas or entities in existence, within the phenomenological cosmos, have name and form of some sort. The most basic name and form is the primordial vibration of Aum, as it is the first manifested nama-rupa of Brahman, the unmanifest reality/unreality. Essentially, before existence and beyond existence is only One reality, Brahman, and the first manifestation of Brahman in existence is Aum. For this reason, Aum is considered to be the most fundamental and powerful mantra, and thus is prefixed and suffixed to all Hindu prayers. While some mantras may invoke individual Gods or principles, the most fundamental mantras, like 'Aum,' the 'Shanti Mantra,' the 'Gayatri Mantra' and others all ultimately focus on the One reality.
In the Hindu tantras the universe is sound. The supreme (para) brings forth existence through the Word (Shabda). Creation consists of vibrations at various frequencies and amplitudes giving rise to the phenomena of the world. The purest vibrations are the var.na, the imperishable letters which are revealed to us, imperfectly as the audible sounds and visible forms.
Var.nas are the atoms of sound. A complex symbolic association was built up between letters and the elements, gods, signs of the zodiac, parts of the body -- letters became rich in these associations. For example in the Aitrareya-aranya-Upanishad we find:
"The mute consonants represent the earth, the sibilants the sky, the vowels heaven. The mute consonants represent fire, the sibilants air, the vowels the sun? The mute consonants represent the eye, the sibilants the ear, the vowels the mind"
In effect each letter became a mantra and the language of the Vedas, Sanskrit, corresponds profoundly to the nature of things. Thus the Vedas come to represent reality itself. The seed syllable Aum represents the underlying unity of reality, which is Brahman.
Mantra japa was a concept of the Vedic sages that incorporates mantras as one of the main forms of puja, or worship, whose ultimate end is seen as moksha/liberation. Essentially, Mantra Japa means repetition of mantra, and has become an established practice of all Hindu streams, from the various Yoga to Tantra. It involves repetition of a mantra over and over again, usually in cycles of auspicious numbers (in multiples of three), the most popular being 108. For this reason, Hindu malas (bead necklaces) developed, containing 108 beads and a head bead (sometimes referred to as the 'meru', or 'guru' bead). The devotee performing japa using his/her fingers counts each bead as he/she repeats the chosen mantra. Having reached 108 repetitions, if he/she wishes to continue another cycle of mantras, the devotee must turn the mala around without crossing the head bead and repeat.
It is said that through japa the devotee attains one-pointedness, or extreme focus, on the chosen deity or principal idea of the mantra. The vibrations and sounds of the mantra are considered extremely important, and thus reverberations of the sound are supposed to awaken the prana or spiritual life force and even stimulate chakras according to many Hindu schools of thought.
