 Yantra is a geometric figuration of a God or Goddess which represents His or Her Powers.

In worship Scriptures rule that with god/goddess idol, the related yantra should also be worshiped accompanied by the recitation of prescribed mantra according to tantra (specified process). The belief is that yantras carry the powers of the gods or goddesses they represent. The reverence shown to and worship or display of the yantra in itself is rewarding.

In the modern scientific age the yantra practice is integral part of corporate sector activity. The corporate house have their own yantras which they call Logo. Every big business house has its carefully designed logo which plays a big part in its activities.

Infact, over period of time logo becomes the symbol of the quality of its products or services. Logo or emblem becomes a firm’s stamp which is cherished and respected by all its employees, shareholders and the consumers.

Similarly yantra is logo or emblem of a god or the goddess. It symbolises the power of the deity. The worship of the yantra is as important as worship of the related deity.

A car carrying words ‘Mercedese Benz’ does not convince you until it displays its Merc Yantra,mercedes_benz.jpg the symbol.

The same psychology works on religious level too. That makes yantra an important figuration.
