Abstract

This research article delves into the depths of two ancient spiritual practices originating from the Vedic tradition of India. Yantra, an intricate geometric medium representing cosmic energies and Vedic elements, and Yagya, the ritualistic offering of Mantras through fire, have been integral parts of Indian spirituality for centuries. The article explores the Philosophy and purpose of Yantra Sadhana, unveiling the symbolic significance of geometric patterns and their connection with higher energies. Additionally, it illuminates the mechanics of Yagya Shala, where the energies of the practitioner and the cosmic forces harmonize through meticulously crafted rituals and Yagya kunds, Mandalas, and Yantras. Through this exploration, the article seeks to bridge the ancient wisdom of Yantra and Yagya with contemporary understanding, offering insights into their spiritual significance and scientific principles.
