INTRODUCTION

Manifest anything using the symbol of everything

Everything is energy and thats all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.

Albert Einstein

We are all constantly manifesting; we are just not aware of it. Our current situation in life can be traced directly back to our thoughts and feelings that we have experienced at some point in time in the past. We are shaping our own reality, unconsciously or consciously, all the time. Remember how as children we would say I want to be a scientist or I want to be an author; today we may be a scientist or an author or whoever we wanted to be when we were little. This is an example of unconsciously manifesting based on our upbringing, belief systems and outcome of our conditioned mind.

We can also manifest with determination and by working towards a goal when we set our minds to something (studying for a degree, saving to build up a house) or we can consciously manifest when we come to a realization that it is possible to connect with and tap directly into a higher energy, which then empowers us by turning on our deepest inner potential. Conscious manifestation is about creating what we desire with a clear vision, deep belief and absolute awareness and appreciation of the fact that there is an unseen force that will guide us to our goal(s).

All spiritual traditions have upheld the belief that everything in the cosmos is energy (it is called chi, qi, prana, etc., in different cultures) and that every aspect of existence is deeply interwoven in this giant web of energy.

Modern advances in science, especially studies in Quantum Mechanics, have led to a vindication of this long-held belief that everything is energy as scientists realized that all particles are merely vibrations of energy. If the universe is pure energy and we are but a small part of this same energy, it then stands to reason that there exists a possibility for us, as individuals, to tune into the frequency of the universes energy.

There are several methods of tuning in (such as through the power of sound, crystals, meditation, prayer). One such powerful method is by using symbols (such as the Sri Chakra Yantra) as a tuning fork. Just as we are able to tune into a specific channel on television, on the radio, by selecting a particular frequency, these symbols allow us the ability to tune in and engage with the powers of creation in the universe.

So, what exactly is a yantra?

A yantra is a graphic and geometric representation of the Universal energy.

Thoughts and words cannot exist in the spiritual dimension since they are a construct of the intellect and mind. Sacred geometry arises from this fact that many philosophical truths cannot be expressed with words. The world around us is filled with geometrical designs and shapes. Ancient cultures, including those of Greeks, Egyptians, Chinese, Mayans and Hindus, observed that certain geometric patterns are found recurring throughout nature - spirals, hexagons and concentric circles to name a few) - and believed them to be the building blocks of all creation in the universe.

In Hindu Tantra, three kinds of external symbols are used to relate to and connect with the Universal energy.

An image showing the energy in a human or animal form (such as Krishna, Hanuman or Ganesha)

A yantra depicting the energy in the form of geometric shapes

A mantra which is energy in the form of a sound

The word yantra is derived from the root verb yantr meaning to restrain or control. It can be understood as a machine or a device that controls human effort in performing a task by providing assistance. A mantra uses sound energy to bring about a balance between the mind and the body, while a yantra uses the visual medium to bring about a state of equilibrium.

A yantra can work as a transformer of our psychic energies, allowing us a glimpse into the beauty and power of the universe. There are hundreds of yantra designs which are specific to planets, gods and principles. These geometric patterns can be drawn out on the floor in the form of rangoli (kollam), painted on a paper or tree bark, or etched on metal sheets such as copper, silver or gold.

One of the most powerful, auspicious and important yantras in the Tantra tradition is the Sri Chakra Yantra. Known as a Rajayantra (or king of yantras), it is a symbol of all energy, power and creativity - hence a symbol of everything. Advaita Vedanta sages have said that this yantra holds the key to mastering the science of Creation (acquiring all that we desire) and Destruction (getting rid of all that we no longer desire).

The Sri Chakra Yantra is believed to have been divinely revealed rather than invented. It is not a creation of human intellect, and the geometry is said to have appeared to self-realized yogis in their peak meditative state (samadhi). This supremely powerful symbol is a representation of the infinite power of the Universal energy and is a geometric form of the process of creation itself.

The physical yantra can be used as a tool to turn our every thought into a directive to the u niverse.

As you channelize your energy to be in synchrony with that of the universe, you will notice that:

all internal and external roadblocks that have sabotaged your ability to forge ahead will be removed, one by one

enriching circumstances and opportunities will come your way, helping you move forward on your path(s)

Manifestation is not accomplished by spending hours in the meditation of the yantra but as a result of retraining your everyday thought processes and by merely using the Sri Chakra Yantra as a device to optimally amplify your connection with the universe.

This book is an endeavour to introduce an element of change in your personal thought processes, to help connect with the Universal energy and to manifest your deepest desires.
