Yantra
for Prosperity - Meru Yantra
"Koorm Pristhiya (Meru) Shri
Yantra" is one of the oldest, rare and precious Yantra created by 'Aadi Guru
Dattatreya' for the welfare common man. Perhaps, the thought of conceiving
Yantras for the benefit of mankind was formed during the Vedic age when metal
came into being. Literally, "Koorm Prishthiya Meru Shree Yantra" means Shree
Yantras which is mounted at the back of tortoise upwards. It is also believed
that the tortoise lifted weight of the earth over its back.
Shree Yantra designed over the
back of Koorm or tortoise has eight petals as in the case of the original Shree
Yantra where the flower Lotus or Kamal has eight groups with sixty four Lotus
dal. It is also seen that most of the designs of Yantras are based on the
growing Lotus flower.
Here the question arises as to
why Guru Dattatreya chose only the Lotus flower as the base of Yantras. The
reason is, Lotus is the only holy flower which originate from the navel (Nabhi)
of Lord Vishnu. Where the God of knowledge and creator of Veda i.e 'Lord Brahma'
is also believed to be seated. Guru Dattatreya is said to be the representative
of the United Trinity' i.e. Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Mahesha.
Therefore, the force which pushes man to worship the Yantras lies in the strong
belief that these Yantras are created by this "Trinity themselves who are the
creator, preserver and destroyer of the world respectively, who also control the
Sun, the Moon, Planets and hence, the whole universe itself.
Meru Yantra, like Shri Yantras,
has Bindu(Point), Trikona (Tringle), Ashtakona, Samghar Chakra (destroying
wheel), Sthithi Chakra (Preserving wheel), Chaturdahkona, Ashtdal Kamal (Group
of Eight Lotus), Shodash dal Kamal(Group of 16 Lotus), Teen Vrit (Three Crcles),
Bhupur (first square), Sampoorna Srishti Chakra (whole system of uiverse and
surrounded by Ridhi-Sidhi(prosperity and fame) gates in four directions of
Yantra.
It is also believed that the 'Koorma
Prishthiya Shree Yantra' was vividly used by the learned Brahmin community of
coastal area in Rames-hwaram, Kerla in Seventh or Eighth Century. The Shree
Yantra designed on the mount over the back of a tortoise looks similar to the
dome of any temple which is slightly mounted. It also depicts one of the
fundamental of "Vastu Kala" which says that any residential house, palace or
temple must be mounted at the centre to the top, so that the personresiding in
it should get more and more energy radiation & solar reflections from the cosmic
universe or Brahmanda to be more healthy, wealthy and wise.
The Koorm Prishthiya Shri
Yantra is worshiped similarly as Shri Yantra has another importance. This Yantra
is explained as the tortoise in itself is a very powerful and protected living
being and can live in water and land simultaneously, but does not harm any body
and is anon-violent creature. Natural has protected the delicacy of tortoise by
providing it with a strong cover or jacket which is harmproof and protects him
in the ups and downs of life.
Now a day, this Yantra is
Mounted in ASHTA-DHATU. It can be had in different sizes as Small, Medium and
Large. It can be placed either at the foundation of a house, temple or at the
strong room, locker and cashbox etc.
In all, it is a rare, spiritual
antique which helps to lessen the ill fortune and rotten fate.
