Nav Durga Yantra - the yantra of the nine Durgas
The Yantra is the graphic, mathematics and magic
representation of the divine one. It is an ancient tradition that
get lost in the night of the times; we can find graphic
representations of God in the prehistoric mural paintings,
games of numbers and magic squares in a lot of ancient
cultures. But it is in the tantric tradition that
theYantras assume a bigger spectrum of uses.
Many Yantras are contained in a square (bhupur) with four
gates. The square represents the material world while the
gates are the points of access into the Yantra.
Apart from invoking the divine, the Yantra is used by the
Aghoris as object of meditation. It is painted in the walls of
the temples or next to the dhuni (sacred fire). It is engraved
on small copper plates and usually positioned in
the mandir (temple). Or It is written within small squares of
paper inside a silver or copper container as amulets
(kavacha); for every application there is a specify Yantra.
The study of the Yantras is an important footstep in the
particular sadhana (spiritual path) of the Aghoris.

VASTU YANTRA
Vastu Shastra is an ancient doctrine which consists
of precepts born to a traditional view of how the laws
of nature affect human dwellings. The designs are
based on directional alignments. It used to be
applied in Hindu architecture, especially
for temples, and extends to other areas,
including vehicles, boats, furniture, sculpture,
paintings, etc.
The Vastu Yantra is an indispensable part of
Vastu Shastra and constitutes the mathematical
basis and schematic for the generation of design. It is
themetaphysical plan of a building that
incorporates coarse bodies and supernatural forces. It
provides the method that determines the requirements
of architecture in relation to its directions.
Vastu Yantra according to Mahanirvana Tantra Vastu Purusha Mandala
KAAL SARP YOG YANTRA
Kaal Sarp Yog happen when in a Horoscope, all the seven
planets (Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Venus, Mars, Mercury
and Saturn) are placed between Rahu and Ketu Axis
(north and south nodes of Moon), Rahu is serpent’s head
and Ketu is dragon’s tail. This planets
combination is considered very evil andharmful for the
person. However have Kaal Sarp Yog in the horoscope does not
mean that the person will be totally unlucky and devoid of all the
joys of life.
One of the remedies for this problem is the Kaal Sarp Yog Yantra
to establish in your home and worship it regularly.

Swastika
In the West the swastika association with Nazism has largely overshadowed its
religious and cultural significance. The word swastika comes from Sanskrit and
signifies well being and good luck and it is still used extensively throughout the east
as decoration on homes, temples and at festivals. Further more ancient Greeks,
Hittites, Celts and even Native Americans also used the symbol. The swastika was
subverted and adopted by Adolf Hitler in the 1920s as a symbol for his Nazi party, a
meaning which has taken on significance in the west. It's time to clear up the
misconception and re-claim the swastika.
The Flower of Life
The Flower of Life is another symbol found in many cultures that use sacred
geometry. Ancient representations of this symbol can be found in India, in the
Assyrian palaces, Egypt, China, Japan and many other places. Kabbalistic Tree of
Life symbol is derived from the diagram of the Flower of Life.
Sacred Geometry
Sacred geometry is used in every culture in the construction and structuring of
sacred buildings like temples, mosques, megaliths, monuments, churches and
sacred spaces such as altars, sacred fires, as well as the creation of sacred art or
objects. Here are some examples:
