When we take water in our palm and chant the mantra, then the vibrations produced by the chant are absorbed by the water and we drink this energized holy water. This produces good vibrations in us.We should do the Sandhya Vandan for 1 year. Gayatri Japa of 108 times at morning, noon, and dusk is best. At noon we may shorten it to 12 times when we have less time.The whole Sandhya Vandan procedure should take 15 minutes or so.---------------------In the long forgotten folds of time, the elite class were privy to a special ritual. One was the physical birth, the other was the wisdom-yoked birth. Not everyone qualified, mostly because the physical mind had not been lived to the full. For the planet Earth had to have its say. Nature had to be tamed first.The whirr ofthoughts and emotions, tendencies and proclivities, likes and dislikes, multiple infatuations;needed to be diluted first. It did not happen overnight.Nay, it did not happen in o n e lifetime. It took a f e w lifetimes, say a mind of 200 years living over a change of 3 to 4 anatomical bodies. Only such an old mind albeit in a fresh body, was now capable. Capable of receiving and assimilating and expressing the finer principles. Emotions and desires bereft of fear, untinged with lack, not prone to guilt.For such a man, boy, child of 7 or older, the subtle forces paid a visit. Upanayanam Yagyopavit SandhyaVandan was established to reinforce the Intellect, give it proper direction, enable one to make correct choices and take pragmatic decisions for a brilliant life on planet Earth.

The Sri Yantra Bhavana Upanishad is attributed to the Atharvaveda. It is a later Upanishad that illuminates the Bhavana or Deeper Emotions connected to the Sri Yantra, the body of the Mother Divine, and also the body of Divine Yogic Union of Purusha and Prakriti. It expounds the innermost intense feelings of the Soul, its basic desire, and ways and means to connect and unite with the ultimate consciousness.What is a Sri Yantra? A healing mandala diagram made by 4 Upward Apex Triangles and 5 Downward Apex Triangles, properly intertwined to represent- the cosmic forces in creation, and- the principles of duality, harmony, and divinity.The 9 Basic Triangles create a total of 43 Triangles due to the overlapping, which are grouped (shaded) as14 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 1 = 43.Apart from these Triangles, - there is a central Dot (Bindu)- there are three Circles encircling the Triangles- there are four Gates encircling the entire Mandala, composed of three lines.Sanskrit Seed Sounds (bija mantra) like ॐ Om, are potent healing and nourishing energies. Sound is an energy. Pleasing sounds (meditative music, blessings) have excellent effects on one's behavior, attitude, and long-term all round success in life.An aesthetically made Mandala can become vastly superior when infused with Seed Sounds.----------Contains Full Color Plates

Sound is an energy. Pleasing sounds (meditative music, blessings) have excellent effects on one's behavior, attitude, and long-term all round success in life. Harsh and deterring sounds (cruel speech, improper audio-video) wipe away our enthusiasm, drain our energy, block talent and result in suffocation and clouding of our neural activity, thereby reducing success. An aesthetically made Mandala can become vastly superior when infused with Seed Sounds. It is like getting a good vehicle and then employing a proper driver. The Sri Yantra is one of the most ancient mystical, benevolent and highly rewarding mathematical forms of sacred geometry. Recent archaeological and scientific explorations have again and again highlighted that famous and affluent cities of the world e.g. Washington DC, Paris, Bombay have been built using principles of sacred geometry.
