About the work
The Sanskrit word yantra comes from the prefix yan, which means to conceive and by definition, mental conception. Yantra, then, literally means "device," "artifice," "mechanism," "tool," or, more precisely, "instrument." It refers to complex geometric representations of levels and energies of the cosmos (customized in the form of a chosen deity) and of the human body (insofar as it is conceived as a microcosmic replica of the macrocosm).
