The word yantra comes from the Sanskrit root yam (to hold, to sustain) and tra (instrument or tool). A yantra is thus a “sacred instrument,” a device designed to contain, channel, and concentrate energy. While often depicted as a geometrical diagram on paper, metal, or stone, the essence of yantra is far subtler: it is a pattern that links the human mind to cosmic principles.

Meditation is a wonderful way to make contact with the soul. It cultivates the mind and refines it gently and with love. Just as our body needs care, so too our soul requires attention, care and mindfulness.
Only you decide whether to listen to your soul in order to lovingly and consistently integrate it into your being. For this, constant mental hygiene, which can also be called "soul care", is of great importance. Meditation is an invaluable tool of mental hygiene and prepares the pathway to our soul. Singing also lifts the mind and connects us with soul, especially devotional singing and kirtan.
