Lit: A machine, equipment, device. In Sadhana, Yantra is a geometric figure inscribed on a metallic plate or a paper, which consists of mystic numbers, Mantras and figures. The Yantra is in fact the confluence of the powers of the concerned God. When a Mantra is chanted the sound vibrations gather force from the Yantra and after reflecting from its surface spread out into the universe and reach the concerned God. These vibrations come into contact with the form of the God, gather divine powers and blessings from Him and return to the Sadhak, thus instilling divinity into him.
