Vedic Astrology
- Jyotish teaches us how to create horoscopes and use
the positions of celestial bodies to
understand and interpret Human existence on
Earth. Of course, to believe, or not believe
in astrology is the prerogative of every
thinking individual and just as in the case
of other disciplines, in astrology too,
there are those practitioners who are
proficient in their area of expertise and
those that need to hone their skills.
Science and astrology are based on two
diametrically opposite points of view.
Everyday, modern
science makes new discoveries about the
Cosmos, while the knowledge that gives us
(Vedic) astrology is based on the ancient
belief that, all that exists has already
been discovered and that this knowledge is
contained in the ancient scriptures.
However, the correlation between
astrological predictions and real life
events is what makes the existence of
astrology undeniable.
However, this
knowledge is not limited to making
astrological predictions alone, it also
teaches us how to mould bad situations to
our advantage and how to derive the most
benefit from good situations. The ancient
Hindu texts contain techniques for remedying
unfavorable astrological conditions. Some of
the better known methods are through the use
of Gemstones, Sri Nav Ratna Jewelry,
Yantras, Tantra and Mantras (chants).
Vedic Talismans or
'Yantras' are very powerful and effective
remedial tools, although they aren't perhaps
as well known, outside Vedic circles, as the
other mentioned techniques. 'Vedic
Talismans' come from the ancient Hindu
scriptures, the Vedas and Upanishads.
The literal
meaning of Yantra is 'Device', but it is
unlike any manmade device, as it's working
is in complete harmony with nature. It is
believed that a Yantra possesses infinite
power, that it's results are miraculous and
that it can not only remove problems, but
also realize wishes.
> What makes
up a Yantra?
Yantras are made
up from Vedic symbols, comprising of
straight lines, squares, rectangles,
triangles and circles. These symbols are so
precise in design, that even the angles
employed are determined to the last degree.
Some talismans may also comprise of numbers
and letters of the 'Dev Nagari' script.
These symbols
represent the five basic elements: Earth,
Wind, Fire, Air, Water and Ether. Each
element is associated with certain
properties. For example Earth denotes among
other things stability, patience, material
happiness and success. While Wind represents
dishonor, sorrow and ignorance. These
symbols are arranged so as to enhance one
property and enervate the other.
Vedic talismans
should not be confused with lucky charms, as
both are conceptually different. Also, in
most cases, the possessor of a Vedic
talisman is not required to be in physical
contact with the talisman itself, unlike
many good luck charms. 'Vedic Talismans' can
be created out of many different materials
such as 'Asht Dhatu' or a special eight
metal alloy, gold, silver, copper, crystals
or even plant leaves. Certain materials are
more suited to certain Yantras. However, any
Vedic Talisman has an intrinsic energy which
is always radiated, irrespective of size or
material and these factors are not critical
to it's power. You will find that even a
small Yantra, made of inexpensive material
is a powerful source of positive energy.
A Yantra is only
active when it has been consecrated or,
'Energized', then it becomes a Power Yantra.
A consecrated, Power Yantra is considered to
be the dwelling of the Gods and Deities it
represents. In fact Yantra also means
'Abode'. Once it has been energized, a
Yantra becomes an independent source of
spiritual energy that not only influences
those who worship it, or wear it, but also
the surroundings in which it is placed.
> How many
types of Vedic Talismans or Yantras are
there?
There are as many
types of Vedic Talismans or Yantras as there
are desires each having it's own unique
design and purpose. Some may have multiple
effects, such as the Sri Yantra. This amulet
is known to not only provide wealth and
prosperity, but to also enhance mental
concentration and harmony. Other talismans
may have a more specific purpose such as
neutralizing the effects negative thoughts,
evil wishes or adverse astrological
conditions. Vedic Talismans or Yantras can
help you realize your ambitions and achieve
success at work. They can help you resolve
conflicts within your home life or help you
overcome relationship problems.
At VedicStore we
have many different types of genuine Vedic
Talismans or Yantras, specially prepared and
energized according to the ancient
scriptures of the Vedas. All our talismans
are handmade and energized by Swami Veet
Chintan T'Zorba-Krsna, Jyotish Acharya and
Vedic Priest of India, with 29 Years of
experience in this line. Swami Krsna (as he
is known commonly) takes great care in
ensuring that the correct mantras are
chanted, clearly recited and correctly
pronounced during the energizing ceremony.
Through his exceptionally high levels of
concentration, developed through years of
practicing Yoga and meditation, he ensures
that the Vedic Talismans or Yantras are
awakened with positive, unselfish thoughts.
Without this, the Yantras will not bear the
desired results. Along with each Vedic
Talismans or Yantra you will receive
instructions on how it is to be used.
So there are many
types of Vedic Talismans: one to keep in
your home, to bury in the ground, to burn it
in fire, to wear it on person (e.g. around
the neck in pendant form), to keep in
wallet, to tie on an animals or birds neck
(e.g. pigeons neck and fly it), in fact
there are many many types of Vedic Talismans
or Yantras. VedicStore has a collection of
more than 2,000 Vedic Talismans or Yantras.
> How does a
Vedic Talisman or Yantra Work?
The sound by which
all things are created isn’t just any sound,
it is the Word of God, this word pervades
through everything that exists. The power of
the spoken word in the form of prayers,
hymns and chants, is a belief that is common
to all major religions and these sounds
resonate in churches, mosques and temples
throughout the world. In Hinduism, Mantras
are a combination of sacred words, composed
in Sanskrit.
According to the
ancient texts, the chanting of Mantras can
lead to spiritual enlightenment and oneness
with God. The visual equivalent of a Mantra
is a 'Yantra', it is in fact the graphical
representation of a Mantra. It has been
scientifically observed, that when sound
waves of certain frequencies are directed at
a Yantra, the reflected waves mirror the
patterns inscribed on the Yantra surface.
This principle of wave polarization is
believed to also extend to other energy
forms, such as light, heat, magnetic fields
and spiritual energy.
Essentially,
Yantras concentrate the various forms of
positive energy that pervade through the
Universe, when our ‘Inner Divinity’ is
focused on a Vedic Talisman or Yantra, this
energy is released upon us and into the
surroundings, thereby causing the profound
effects that are observed.
> How is a
Yantra Energized or consecrated?
A Yantra is
energized with the performing the complex,
ancient consecration rituals set out in the
Vedas. First an auspicious date is chosen,
in accordance with the astrological
positions. Then the exact time at which the
ceremony has to be preformed on that
selected date is calculated. At that precise
time, in the presence of a 'Sacred Fire',
the appropriate Mantras and prayers are
recited and offerings made. This is done so
as to invoke the Gods and Deities to invest
their power and presence on the Yantra,
igniting it with positive spiritual energy.
Vedic Talismans or Yantras find a prominent
place in many Hindu religious practices, as
well as religious places of worship.
At VedicStore

your Stars using Vedic Astrology - Jyotish

> Can you
explain the procedure how you make Vedic
Talismans at VedicStore?
Most of our Vedic
Talismans or Yantras are written on
"Bhojpatra" bark of a special tree which is
as thin as paper, but it is very brittle.
Some are written on Onion skin paper.
Writing is done
using a pen made of Jasmine or Nutmeg tree
branch. The ink is made of eight herbs
called Ashtagandha with 24 karat gold dust in Ganges
water.
After writing or
designing the Yantra, auspicious mantras and
ragas
(125,000 in all, see above for more details)
are infused upon it. All mantras (chanting
is done for the benefit of the wearer) are
personalized to the person who will wear it.
The Bhojpatra or
Onion skin paper is then folded many times
to fit inside the metal casing, tied with a
thread (with mantras chanting called Raksha
Bandhan) and pushed inside the metal casing
(see picture below).
.........
After the folded
Yantra is placed inside the casing, hot
melted pure bee's wax is poured inside the
casing to protect the filling and make it
water proof (the main Yantra).
Then a lid (on the
side of the casing) is placed and a chemical
sealant is used to stick the lid with the
casing body, it is sealed forever. Then
the casing is dipped in eight various
perfumes called Attar. It is then offered to
the Deity for blessing.
After offering the
Yantra to the Deity the Yantra is placed in
a purified jewelry box and packed secured
for the receiver. Parcels are sent fully
insured via US Post Office. Tracking info is
sent by email for your kind attention.
Total processing
time to write, design and consecrate mantras
and closing of the casing and up to actual
shipping of our Vedic Talismans varies from
one Vedic Talisman to another. However,
generally, the whole process can take up to
from 36 to 84 hours (not non-stop of
course).
In some Vedic
Talismans, 23.5K Gold gilding (gold paper)
is used to blanket the Yantra. For example
the Ultimate Sri Radha Krishna Kavacham,
click here for more info. In this Yantra
extra special inks are also used which is
made of sixteen herbs with 24K gold dust in
Ganges water. Other process remains the same
e.g. mantra infusion.
> Do Yantras
really work?
Yes, but then
you’d expect us to say that. But the fact of
the matter is that for thousands of years,
since the Vedic period, people who have
acquired such talismans, have found that
there have been positive changes in their
lives. You can see what some people have
told us at ‘experience with our Vedic
Talismans’.
These Yantra are
based on an ancient knowledge that
encompasses not only the creation of these
amulets, but many other areas, some of these
are relatively more well known, such as Yoga
and Ayurvedic, but they all follow the same
principles.
> How long
does it take for their effects to be felt?
Vedic talismans
are always sending out positive energy,
wherever they are placed. So once you
acquire one it will immediately start to
influence its surroundings.
> How should
a Yantra be worshipped?
The basic method
of maintaining and worshipping a Vedic
Talisman is provided by us in the
instructions we send with our Yantras.
Nothing much is required and the
instructions are essentially a list of 'Dos
and Don'ts'. More complex methods, as
described in the Vedas can been preformed,
but this does require a certain degree of
knowledge of Vedic teachings and principles.
We try our best that our clients do have to
do anything more than what we have done
already. Just experience the benefits of the
Vedic Talismans.
> Do my
religious beliefs make a difference?
Not at all. Vedic
Talismans respond to the wearer,
irrespective of their faith. Neither is one
required to adopt new beliefs.
> What
adverse effects can Yantras have?
None whatsoever.
By concept and design, a Vedic Talisman can
only deliver positive results and energy,
never negative.
> Are
Yantras a part of other cultures?
Yes, several other
faiths and cultures including Buddhism and
even Islam have their own amulets and
talismans, very similar to Yantras. These
are not known as Yantras, but they work the
same purpose.
> Can a
Yantra lose its power?
Only under
exceptional circumstances, if maltreated.
Otherwise once a Yantra has been activated,
it will remain that way.
> Can
Yantras be used with other types of
talismans?
Yes they can, just
as long as the characteristics of the other
articles are consistent with those of
Yantras and do not conflict with their
general nature. That is to say that, objects
related to satanical rites, black magic,
derived from animals (except for animal
skins for meditation), won’t be suitable.
>
Why
haven’t I heard about Vedic Talismans or
Yantras before?
Essentially
because this aspect of Vedic teachings
hasn’t been propagated much outside of the
traditional circles possessing this
knowledge and has mainly been the preserve
of scholars of the ancient scriptures.
However, awareness about this part of Vedic
teachings is rapidly expanding.
> Is there
anything I can do to improve the
effectiveness of my talisman?
Yes. Yantras must
be supported by proactive behavior and work
best if you concentrate your thoughts and
energy on achieving your goals.
