Mantras and yantras have been in existence since prehistoric times. The Vedic scriptures describe that once the devas (deities) and the asuras (demons) argued as to what was superior - mantra or yantra? The demons regarded yantras as superior and mightier, as material resources and capabilities were more important to them. The deities affirmed the prominence of mantras, that is, spirituality was of greater significance to them.
We all have seen and used several types of yantras in this age of materialistic progress.
Let us acquaint ourselves with some knowledge of mantras here. The effects of mantras largely pertain to the mental, emotional and spiritual realms of life. Mantras inspire positive and penetrating thoughts, and enlighten the emotional and deeper levels of consciousness.
