Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Shri Yantra used for?
The Shri Yantra is used for attracting abundance, wealth, and prosperity into all areas of life. It is also a powerful tool for spiritual practice and meditation, as its geometry is said to represent the cosmos itself.
Which direction should the Shri Yantra face?
The Shri Yantra should ideally face east (towards the rising sun) or north (towards Kubera, the god of wealth). It should never face south, as that direction is associated with Yama, the god of death.
