Dear
Shakun,
This
is Ranjana again. Can you throw some light on the Shree Yantra
and the effects of keeping it in the house and the care
required to do so. How was is created and by whom and for what
purpose etc. etc. Thanks a ton in advance
With
love,
Ranjana
My
reply is as follows :
It
is believed that the Shreeyantra has been in existence since
time immemorial.
Old
Scriptures claim that it brings good fortune and wards off
evil influences. People generally keep a Shreeyantra made of
pure crystal stone in their house, place or worship and
place of work for good luck.
The
size of Shreeyantra varies from 10 grams
onwards and its size is entirely dependent
on the availability of the crystal .
Shreeyantra
has a connection with "Vaastu Shastra" . The upward
triangles of Shreeyantra corresponds with
the fire element, the circles with the air, the point
with the sky, base with the earth and the downwards triangle
corresponds to the water. It is believed that the Shreeyantra
is effective in balancing the negative effect where the Vaastu
has not been done correctly.
The
Shreeyantra should preferably be kept in your place of
worship. One can do a Praan-Pratishta (Breathe life) into a
Shreeyantra. This can be done by meditating upon the tip of
the Shreeyantra which is believed to be the abode of Celestial
Beings. One should then chant the Maha Laxmi Mantra:
"Om,
Shreem hreem shreem kamale kamalalaye Praseeda, Praseeda,
Shreem, hreem shreem Om Mahalakshmiye Namah"
It
is believed that the Shreeyantra has the power to absorbs the
negative rays and positively charge the atmosphere.
The
Shree Yantra can be placed either on red cloth or gold or
silver plates. both are fine, as plate is easier to clean.
For
joy and happiness, chant:
"Aum
Namo Bhagavate Vasu Devaaya"
addressed
to Lord Krishna
