Yantra is a tool to human development
and growth. According to the spiritual concepts in India, the mind and the
consciousness are guided by certain archetypes. The behaviour of the
consciousness is decided by the impressions that are latent and inherent in the
consciousness. This notion of consciousness is different from the theories in
modern psychology, where consciousness is divided as conscious, subconscious
and unconscious faculties.
From
the yogic perspective, consciousness is a continuous evolutionary process in
which we become more and more aware of our internal spiritual nature. As we go
deeper into the consciousness, the language and the understanding of the
consciousness changes. At one level we use words to communicate, convey an idea
or thought. At a deeper level thoughts become powerful and are conveyed
directly. At a certain stage of sadhana, the aspirant can receive as well as
transmit thoughts. At an even deeper level, words which are a creation of the
intellect cease to have any meaning and one connects with the inherent
archetypes. These are the conditionings of the consciousness and are called
samskara in yogic terminology. However, even here there is a progression and
development, a sequential movement.
The
archetypes are not language, thoughts or ideas. They are impressions. In the
spiritual dimension, words do not exist because words are creations of the
intellect. Thoughts do not exist because thoughts are creations of the mind. So
how do we discover or express an internal experience? Through symbols. And
these symbols are known as yantras and mandalas in yoga. There are different
stages or grades of yantras. The Sri Yantra is the most important yantra in the
entire collection of mantras and yantras.

the Sri Yantra is the symbol of cosmic energy, the cosmic mother. She has been given many names, but traditionally she is called Mahamaya. Maha means great, maya means the power of illusion. We do not perceive this power of illusion through our eyes. It represents the identification of the spirit with the material dimension. That is the actual meaning of maya: identification with something which is not real. For example, you have a nightmare that somebody is chasing you with a knife to kill you and you are running. While you are in the dream, the dream is real. You feel the fear, you know that you are running. You know that you are living an experience in the dream. Then suddenly you wake up and heave a sigh of relief that it was a dream. When you are awake, the intensity of the dream does not affect you, but when you are sleeping, in a state of dormancy, the dream has an influence on your personality, mind and nature. So which is real? While we are dreaming the dream world is real and when we are awake, the visible world is real. And when we go into deep sleep where we do not experience anything, no body, no time, no space, even that is real. We cannot negate that. We may have been sleeping for eight hours without being aware that we were sleeping when we experience deep sleep.
In the waking state we are subject to time, space and object. In the dreaming state we are under the influence of time and space, not the object. In deep sleep even time does not exist, we are contained only in space. And beyond time, space and object lies the realm of the spirit. This spiritual dimension is symbolized through yantras and mandalas. This is the dimension of Mahamaya. It is because of that force that we identify with the outer world and are able to experience pain, suffering, happiness and joy as real. However, when we transcend that experience, pain and pleasure, happiness and discontentment do not exist. We identify with the spiritual reality and not the material reality. That spiritual reality is Mahamaya. The cosmic power which controls and governs the illusion is Mahamaya.
Sri
Yantra is the symbol of Mahamaya. It has been experienced by many and also
stated in the scriptures that when we wear a yantra, when we wear the symbol of
any cosmic force, it acts like a magnet to attract that cosmic energy. So when
we concentrate or practise meditation on Sri Yantra or any other yantra, we are
using that as a tool to focus the cosmic energy within us. Just as a satellite
identifies a building and then directs a missile to that building, in the same
manner when we wear a yantra, it creates a force field around us. We cannot see
it through the naked eye, but the force field exists and attracts the greater
force to itself. When we concentrate on a yantra, we are focusing the cosmic
energy within us. When we wear a yantra, we are directing the cosmic energy
pervading the universe to that point of the yantra on us.
In
the higher states of meditation Sri Yantra is used to access the deeper realms
of the consciousness. However, yantra meditation is not for those who are still
struggling to manage their conscious level, who are trying to find a balance in
their mental vrittis. So, even if you use the yantra, use it only for trataka –
use it as a symbol on which you focus your senses and the mind. However, as the
sadhana continues, as the journey continues, the visual and sensorial focus
ceases to play any role in the life of the aspirant. This happens when we are
able to manage the vrittis of the conscious, the sub-conscious and the unconscious
mind. And that is when the yantra comes alive within us, we enter into that
dimension. So the actual sadhana of the yantra is higher yoga, but initially
people can use the image of the yantra to focus the sensorial, visual and
mental perceptions and to reach a state of concentration. Once this power
focuses on us, all that is auspicious, good and benevolent will come to us. It
will be a force that protects us from negativity and distresses of life.
