About Yantra:
Yantra is a mystical diagram or instrument with divine powers, used to control or restrain. The word comes from the Sanskrit root, Yam or Yantrati.
A Yantra is a spiritual and transcendental system that represents both macrocosmic and microcosmic forces working together to achieve control and liberation. It consists of a set of power diagrams that visually represent magical intentions and ideas. It is a system of divine energy in harmony with the larger universe and centered on the primordial center, with the aim of uniting self and cosmos.
All knowledge in India has its roots in the Vedas.
-
Rig Veda imparts knowledge of everything in the universe.
-
Yajur Veda transforms this knowledge into the practical form known as karma.
-
Sama Veda converts this karma to ecstasy.
When karma becomes pure and dedicated to the Almighty, liberation or moksha is achieved.
Yantra Vidya is thus a miniature form of the God concept.

According to this shloka, from the ancient classic Sharadathilakam, a Yantra performs two types of functions.
1) It controls the mental activities of a person.
2) It also gives him protection from all sorts of evil effects.
-
Yantra dharma is very much the same to Eshwara dharma or Vigraha dharma.
-
Yantras can be considered as vigrahas or Idols and are vessels for storing divine power.
-
They control the mind and deity - this is Yantraphalam or the function of the Yantra.
