Iconography in Yantras
According to Tantra texts the practice of
representing things by means of symbols or of attributing symbolic meanings or
significance to objects, events, or relationship are the basic of yantras and
these complex artistic forms and gestures are used as a kind of key to convey
religious concepts. The basic figures of yantras are Outline of Yantra
(Bhupura), Dot (Bindu), Six Point Star (Sathkon), Triangle (Trikon), Circle
(Vrat), Square (Chaukor), Lotus (Kamal).
It may be worth to mention
here that intersection of two geometric forms (lines, triangles, circles, etc.)
represents forces that are even more intense than those generated by the simple
forms. Such overlapping indicates a high level in the dynamic interaction of
the correspondent energies. The empty spaces generated by such combinations are
described as very efficient operational fields of the forces emanating from the
central point of the Yantra. That is why we can very often encounter
representations of mantras in such
spaces. Yantra and mantra are complementary aspects of Shiva and their use
together is much more efficient than the use of one alone. These signs
represent different aspects in the Yantras. If these geometrical diagrams are
sketched in a proper manner then the Yantras give their fruitful results.
Auspicious
interval of time
Some particular period is
assigned for writing the yantras. One should keep in mind these periods while
writing the yantras.
Months:-
The auspicious months for writing the yantras are Sharavana, Bhadrapad, Asvina, Kartik, Margshir, Vaishak, Pause, Magha,
and Phalgun. These months are of Hindu Vikram
Samvat. The yantras prepared during these months indicates successful
results. They are beneficial for wealth, gold, gain, respect, comforts from
children, promotion, success, education etc. The months of Chaitra, Jyestha, and Asar
are middling for writing of yantras. Other months are not fit for writing
yantras.
For success in business,
wealth, victory, fulfillment of desires etc., the yantras be write during first
ten days of a month. For love, affection of opposite sex, etc., ten to
twentieth days of month are auspicious. During last ten days of month, yantras
for spiritual attainment, defeat of enemy, separation should be prepared.
Paksha:-
Every month has two pakhshas. One is
Shukla and the other is Krishna paksha. Bright half is known as Shukla Paksha
and Dark half is known as Krishna Paksha. It starts after sunrise. Shukla Paksha is better than Krishna Paksha. The former is auspicious
whereas latter is average. The yantras be prepared and written for vashi karan
during Shukal Paksha on seventh tithi morning. For success in business,
the appropriate time is third or twelfth tithis.
Uchattan, Maran etc., yantras are to be written during Krishna Paksha on second, sixth, seventh, or first, fourth, or
fourteenth of Shukal Paksha. For Love
affection etc., the best dates are eighth tithi in Krishna Paksha or fifth, tenth, eleventh, tithis in Shukal Paksha.
Nakshatra:- Hast and Pushya Nakshatra falling on Sunday are suitable for Kashatriya; Rohini and Mrigasira nakshatras falling on Monday
are good for spiritual purposes; Aswini
falling on Tuesday for jewelers; Anuradha
on Wednesday for Brahmins; Pushya
falling on Thursday for Vaish.; Rewati
falling on Sunday is auspicious for persons in troubles, diseased and facing
turmoil.
Day:-
Monday morning is best for writing yantras for success in business Vashi karan and for recovery of
diseases, the appropriate time is between morning and noon. Morning of Thursday
and Friday is used for yantras relating to promotion, wealth etc. Saturday and
Tuesday are termed appropriate days for Maaran,
Uchattan, separation, enemy etc. Sunday and Wednesday are good days for
controlling speech etc., and time is between noon and evening. The evening time
is good for dream control etc.
There are some digits
assigned to specific planets and deities. In case a particular deity is to be
appeased, that particular digit is to be written first. This also applies to
the directions.
