Sri Rama Yantram
\r\n‘Mahatantra, Mahamantra, Mahayantra Mahasana’
‘Dhyana, Dhyatru, Dhyeyarupa’
In our Sanatana Dharma there are various Upasanas and Upasana Paddhatis. The manifestation of divinity in Vigrahas, Yantras & Mantras help the Upasaka to contemplate on particular Devatha to achieve Kaivalya Gnana with its blessings. The worship of Devatha Swaroopa in Vigrahas, the Mantra Swaroopa in Yantras is an inherent feature in this. The Dhyana of Bhagavan with silent chanting of Mantras is considered as a highest form of propitiation. Hence Lalitha Sahasranama has the following names of Bhagavathi as Mahatantra, Mahamantra, Mahayantra as all are her own manifestations. When the meditator meditates the divine Bhagavan, in any of the above manifestation, in course of time, with Guru Anugraha & Devatha Anugraha, the three divisions of Dhyana, Dhyatru & Dheya sublimate and emerge as one divine consciousness. This is the intention with which our Sages blessed us with various Upasana Paddhatis.

His Holiness Pujya Shri Shankara Vijayendra Saraswathi Shankaracharya Swamigal, 70th Jagadguru of Sri Kanchi Kamakoti Peetam has blessed a Nutana Swarna Yantram to be installed in the sacred premises of Rama Mandir, Ramajanmabhoomi Ayodhya. The Yantram is 3x3 ft sized copper based gold plated divine symbol of Sri Rama. The Yantram has been sculpted following the ancient Sri Rama Yantram being worshipped in Upanishad Math, Kanchipuram. The Yantram in Upanishad Math is of Saligrama stone embossed with very select Mantras covering the main aspects and Avatars of Maha Vishnu. The Mantras are embedded with various Bijaksharas and embossed in old Grantha Script which has been used in South India since millenniams. The Mantra of Rama and inside that the Bijakshara of Sita Devi is the Madhya Bindu of the Yantra. It is surrounded by a prayer to Srirama to bless one & all with Videha Kaivalya and unconditional Bhakti like that of Sanaka Maharshis. There is then a special prayer which mentions Sri Rama to manifest in the Yantra like in Vaikuntha with all his aspects, powers, making Anjaneya Swamy to punish wrong doers and protect the good and to finally manifest in the devotees heart. Then the Yantra expands with Gayatri Mantras of Mantra, Yantra & Sri Rama again embedded with other Bijaksharas in the Shatkona design. Then it is surrounded by a special Mantra on Sri Rama, then by Akstakshara, Vasudeva, Sudarshana & Narasimha Mantras all embossed in Padma Dalams. Then the word Vashat is written 86 times around these Mantras denoting their submission to Sri Rama.
Special shlokas denoting to Jyotish Shastra praying for well-being & happiness of one & all with the blessings of Sri Rama even during adverse planetary positions are embossed. Finally the Yantra prays to Rama to immerse himself in the Yantra with all his sensory & physical aspects along with Manas, Buddhi, Ahankara & Chitta to bless one & all. The eight direction have his divine Ayudhas to protect us from any negativity or evil and derive divine strength. The four bows and arrows are each distinctly designed. The Yantra is aesthetic, divine, embedded with Vaishnava Mantras & Bijaksharas and praying for Videha Kaivalya.
Jagadguru Shankaracharya who consecrated several Yantras in our Bharata Varsha consecrated Shrichakra in Kamakshi Mandir, Kanchipuram and other Shakti Kshetras, Janakarshana & Dhanaksrshana Yantras in Venkateshwara Swami Mandir, Shrichakra Tatanka in Jambukeshwaram. These are a testimony to his great blessings through Yantras. The Birudavali of Kanchi Math mentions this great work of Acharya ‘ Sakalabhuvanachakrapratishthapaka Shrichakrapratishthavikhyata Yasholankrutanam’ meaning the one whose fame is profound by his establishment of Shrichakra which is the foundation of creation.
His Holiness Pujya Shri Shankaracharya Swamiji, the 70th Jagadguru in the Acharya Parampoara blessed the Nutana Suvarna Yantra of Sri Rama based on the ancient Srirama Yantra of Kanchipuram. The main feature of the New Yantra is that it is embossed in Devanagari Script, it is bigger in size and made in gold. This is being offered to Sri Ram Mandir for Dashavarana Pujas praying for everyone’s welfare and spread of Rama Chaitanyam everywhere.
