Yantra
यन्त्र
/YAHN-trah/Tantra
Instrument — a geometric diagram that encodes a specific energetic architecture. Unlike a mantra, which works through sound, a yantra works through spatial and visual frequency. The most famous is the Śrī Yantra, which encodes the entire process of manifestation from unity to multiplicity and back. In the KALKI system, yantras are treated as visual operating systems.
