in "Kularnava Tantra" says Yantra mantra MAYYAM proctitis MANTRATIM DEVATAYV CI DEHAT MANOR Yatha bhedam YANTRA DEVATAYOSTATH A This means that divinity is present in the yantra and mantra * . Between yantra and mantra there is the same difference as between mind and body. Yantra can be compared to the body, or external appearance, the gods (demigods) , while the mantra is the mind, the mind, the spirit, the name. At the same text states that body needs the spirit, and yantra deity as much oil to the lamp, as the yantra is an external, visible expression through which the deity accepts invitation to worship him. When yantra is used in worship and filled with energy, it becomes a symbolic personification of the deity - and becomes by god, if sadhak casts an analytical and critical attitude to the ceremony, while in his senior centers begins the cycle of energy. Each yantra is the abode of the deity to whom it is dedicated. In the external form of the yantra remains the essence of the iconographic image of the deity, his spirit, but no icon does not compare in its power to yantra. The iconographic image always has individual traits and yantra is universal, since it consists of archetypal parts common to all events.
DEFINITION: Yantra
In Sanskrit word yantra has at least two meanings. It comes from the root of the pits , meaning "to support, retain." The word "hold" also means "keep, preserve" the essence of the object, thoughts and concepts. Syllable tra comes from the word ladder : "liberation from bondage." Thus, the yantra is what keeps the essence and releases. In a broader sense, the word yantra in Sanskrit means "tool." When the word yam is used in its symbolic sense (Yama - the god of Death), and tra means the achievement of thrones , or freedom, yantra is understood as something that brings moksha - liberation from the grip of death (the cycle of death and rebirth).
