These cosmic diagrams generate nourishing, life-supporting energies. Yantras embody the energy of particular sacred archetypal energies, such as deities and planets or grahas of <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Jyotish\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>&gt; Vedic astrology (Jyotish) &lt;<\/strong><\/span><\/a><strong> . Yantras are especially useful in buildings that were not Vastu-designed. They protect from negative, disruptive energies in the environment. The directions, elements, and planets exert powerful vibratory effects on our bodies, minds, and emotions. Yantras help us have the support of nature rather than resistance from nature. There are mantras, or sacred sound vibrations, associated with most yantras. There are both two- and three-dimensional yantras. I have been studying them for years and offer yantras and a 25-page yantra guidebook on my website.&#8220; <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong> <\/strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\">Sherri Silverman, &#8222;Ph.D., author, <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vastu\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\"><strong>&gt; Vastu &lt;<\/strong><\/span><\/a> : Transcendental Home Design in Harmony with Nature&#8220;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\">This book details all kinds of historical Yantras as revealed in various Vedas (historic Hindu scriptures). Yantras are cosmic machines which directs energies to the human body\/mind to attain various psychic states. The author dwells deeply in to the philosophy behind it, which in essence is Hinduism. Understanding the Hindu concept of the world, the cosmos and the human being is the key to unlocking the power of Yantra. A reader who is not exposed to Eastern religious philosophies will find it difficult to comprehend the description of concepts behind the Yantra.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\">This book has many illustrations of historic Yantras and details of the significance of its geometric drawings. I liked this book for the depth of analysis and the description of underlying concepts. Please note that this is NOT an instruction work book on Yantras which details about how to make a Yantra.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\"><strong><span style=\"font-size: xx-small;\"><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"123\" height=\"100\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/at50acNlke8\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"123\" height=\"100\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/at50acNlke8\"><\/embed><\/object><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"133\" height=\"100\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"src\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/fCXZF3NiPIk\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"133\" height=\"100\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/fCXZF3NiPIk\"><\/embed><\/object><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-small;\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana,geneva;\">One disappointing fact is that the author uses little space to describe Occult Yantras which are commonly used by ordinary people for protection, healing and power. The Sri Yantra, which enables a person to attain higher states is described in detail.
