Śrī-yantra

The Śrī-yantra is a sacred geometrical symbol that consists of nine interlocking triangles that radiate outwards from a central point.

A yantra is considered a representation of the divine and can be viewed as the physical expression of a mantra: The mantra represents an aspect of the divine in the form of a sound, while the yantra represents a geometric figure.

At the center of the representation is a starting point, the bindu, meaning dot, drop, essence), from which the other forms radiate.

Thus, the visual sensory perception is guided through the representation from this starting point.

Mantra-vidyā

Vidyā means knowledge and Mantra means spiritual sound-vibration. Thus Mantra-vidyā ist the secret knowledge of spiritual sound-vibration.

The Word mantra comes from the Sanskrit language of ancient India, in which humanity's oldest texts, the Vedas, are written. In its original sense, the term mantra refers to sound vibrations in the Vedic Sanskrit texts that have a particularly beneficial effect on consciousness.

The word mantra is composed of the two syllables "man" and "tra" derived from manas and trajate, which means "mind" and "liberating." A mantra is therefore a (spiritual) sound vibration that liberates the (materially polluted) mind.

The material pollution of the mind is removed through the mantra, allowing the soul to reflect itself in the spirit. By chanting (singing, reciting) mantras (spiritual sound vibrations), the consciousness is purified so that one can recognize the true inner self.

The Vedic scriptures describe a mantra as a spiritual sound vibration that has the power to liberate the materially polluted mind. Mantras are therefore spiritual sound vibrations and have the power to purify people's consciousness from materialistic tendencies and influences.

In order to see oneself in the mirror as one truly is, it must be free of dust. A dusty mirror has no reflective properties. Similarly, our mind, which is said to be the mirror of the soul, must be free of the dust of material contamination. This is what mantras are meant for. » more here The meaning of Mantra
