What the Yantra Means

There is no mantra as powerful as this for giving siddhi, desired results, and destroying enemies. It should not be given to the foolish, to the undisciplined, to those not on the path, to the bad, or those fettered by the five kleshas. This alone is the very thing destroying enemies.

Prepare it 400,000 times, or half that. Never perform this method less than 100,000 times. Give a tenth of recitation, a tenth of homa, a tenth oblation, a tenth sprinkling, and a tenth feeding. All this the devotee should do if he wishes to prepare the mantra. Give dakshina to the Guru as required. The rules relating to the unfolding of the yantra of Devadeva,is all complete curse-removal.

How to meditate and visulise

Use Om Jum Sauh with six long vowels to bow with. Start with the heart first.
Using the root bija do three pranayamas. Sip water for the three tattvas
which are Atma, Vidya, and Shiva.

In the image for meditation is dhyana of the God of Gods. Which ever mantra
one meditates on, one becomes one with Shiva. Meditate on Mrityunjaya as having three eyes which are Moon, Sun and Fire; smiling face; seated within 2 lotuses, Whose hands hold Mudra, Noose, Wine and Rosary; bright as the Moon; with 10 million Moon Kalas of nectar drenching His body; begemmed wlth radiant pearls ; the Pashupati or Shiva.

In the centre of Rudra's forehead one should meditate on the circle of the Moon. By meditating on this place one may accomplish what one desires, and obtains freedom from death. Meditate on the mantra which Is the supreme seed of all, to obtain what one desires. One should carefully conceal this meditation on Rudra's head.
