Mantra, Yantra, and Tantra Communication

From the ancient tradition, we can see that, on special occasion or in Yagna, we recite Mantra. The mantra has been constituted with some distinct purpose and with profound connotation. The repetition of the Mantra, means, something is being tried to be communicated to us to make our life suffer-free.  Mantra is a form of a verbal communication. It is suggested in scriptures that recitations of the Mantra without understanding its meaning is the bereft of the result. That is so apparent, if you do not understand what is being communicated to you, you cannot implement those in your life, and hence, you will not see any improvement in your life. Second form of communication is Yantra communication, Yantra communication means visual communication. Putting mark on your head, putting threads around your neck or wrist, putting turban, talisman, keeping Yantra or mark of auspicious at your home etc. these are the form of Yantra, the visual communication. Through this medium something worth is being communicated to us, to make us understand and implement those in our life, to save us from being entangle in unnecessary stuff in our life. Like putting marks on head with red color or ashes or sandal etc. Human is human because of his brain. Brain of the human is so puissant that he can surmount any kind of problems of his life, and can create a life of his choice. It is the power and flexibility of the thought of the human, by which, he can survive or suffer in his life. Most of the problems and solutions of our life are in our brain. For an illustration, the mark on the head indicates that we are human being, and have the most precious wherewithal as head, use it. Similarly, all the Yantra, we wear or keep at home or in temple, all are for the reminder. It constantly provide us the visual communication, so that, we as a human being, choose the right path, and by following those, should get our share of success, happiness, peace and harmony in our life. Ignoring those insinuation means following wrong path, which leads us into destitute.

Third mode of communication is Tantra; Tantra is a form of ritual communication. Almost in all religions, distinct rituals are performed. It is advised that ritual should be performed without any distortion, it means, the ritual what we perform, communicating something imperative to us. Any form of communication, one can choose and understand to get his life better. Simply doing it, because, others are doing, not going to bring any fruit or sooth in your life. Whenever, you do or encounter these kinds of communications Mantra, Yantra or Tantra, ask yourselves, why you are doing, what the message, you are getting, why the scholar of ancient, made necessary to perform for everyone to get a better life. None of these modes of communications is without significance, the meaning is startling, and its implementation is prolific.
