Question: Namaskaram Sadhguru. We were fortunate enough to
receive a Devi Yantra from you last year. She has completely
transformed our home, and she is actually transforming lives in our
neighborhood too. There are people who, whether they have to deal with
family situations or a divorce or health issues, will come and sit in the
Devi room. I am just stunned to see her grace. She has revved it up quite
a bit for me, but I am still wondering, how to earn more of her grace?
Sadhguru: The processes that have been taught to you work best if you
make Devi your priority. This is not just so with Devi this is so with
anything subjective. Even for a love affair to work, it is a question of

yourself, that dimension becomes beautiful for you. But if you do that
with people, we do not know how mature the other person is. A man who
looks at a tree and thinks this is wood may look at a woman and think this
is sex, nothing more. The basic consciousness has been trained in such a
way that if you see something, you think of how useful it could be to you,

A Devi yantra is a powerful energy
form that has no intention of its

but you are not able to maintain a

because the compulsions of your
thoughts, your emotions, and your
body will rule and contaminate
your consciousness. You have seen
this with human beings: one
moment, they are so wonderful
next moment, they are shockingly
horrible.
So we create a powerful form that
has no concern about itself and no
compulsiveness because this is a
pure energy form. The physical form of mercury, copper, and stone is only
a scaffolding to hold up the energy form. A yantra is a kind of machine.

perpetual machine that does not need any real maintenance. You just
need to create a certain atmosphere because Devi does not want to stay in
an uncared-for space.
The Devi yantras are extensions of the mularupa, which means the
original energy form, of Linga Bhairavi [next to the Isha Yoga Center].
You can create millions of such yantras across the planet. All of them will
be alive as long as the original energy form is kept up in full vibrance. You
must hold Devi as the highest entity in your home. If your home catches
fire, the first thought on your mind should be how to save Devi. It is not a

phenomenal.
States were on a Caribbean cruise
and the cruise ship sinks, that is a
disaster, but by no stretch is it a
misfortune. This is not my
opinion.
You just have to set your priorities straight. You go to a temple, church, or
mosque because you believe that by going there, your life will be
enhanced. In India, there are various ways to relate to God. You can
relate to God as your father; you can relate to God as your mother; you
can see God as your husband; you can see God as your lover; you can see
God as your child; you can be a servant to God, or you can treat God as
your servant, as the whole world does. There are specific practices and
ways to be, depending on your choice of relating.
You can relate to Devi whichever way you want, but the important thing
is if you hold her as the highest priority in your home, she will function
in a tremendous way. If you think, She is a tool. Let me leverage it for
my benefit, she still works but in a mediocre way. If you see her as the
highest priority, if you see her as higher than yourself, the kinds of things
that will happen will be too phenomenal. Logical minds can never, ever
decipher how this works.
To the extent that you intensely relate to this simple, yet very powerfully
reverberating form, to that extent it functions. If you relate to it, it
becomes the most fabulous thing. To relate means you have become
willing. This goes for everything in life what is horrendous and what is
fantastic is just a question of whether you go through it willingly or
unwillingly. If you become willing towards something, it becomes a

I am sure Sadhguru would have taken care of it in some way, but isn't it a bit
dangerous to give such a powerful thing to anyone who wishes for it? As many
people have not reached a balance to know what material achievement is actually
good for them without creating something undesirable for others or even
themselves later on. And if the aim is to only ensure 'good for everybody' kind of
overall prosperity then why is it so expensive so as to be out of reach except for the
very well-off? Some answers would be helpful.

See the yantra is going to take care of your total well being ONLY if you are
a true devotee. A true devotee, as sadhguru said is someone who has no
stuff of his own. So if you think that lets say you want a ferrari and devi is
going to give it to you, you are wrong. Devi will not function for you if you
want to derive benefit from her. Only if you are a true devotee, she will make
your life frictionless.
Also if you experience her grace, you will naturally become blissful and want
to spread joy and peace in your surroundings. Also the yantra works for
anyone and everyone around it. So if you have lets say avighna yantra, you
are doing a social service by letting so many people around you experience
her grace.
Yantra is expensive but for the right cause. Ashram is doing so many social
activities including feeding people staying is ashram two times a day which
costs around 30,000 per day! Don't judge sadhguru's decision of pricing the
yantra high. After all, it is the only thing offered by isha which is this costly.

hope u got the clarity now gautham.. nice explanation sarthak.. as a
person becomes a true devotee the thoughts in his mind also gets
purified and naturally he prays for the joy only and never for any thing
which could be dangerous even if he does it would not take effect....
for sure!!!!

Suppose it is given at the price of a keychain...would you take care of it in a
similar way as a keychain or as something worth lakhs of rupees? We
humans have this tendency to value things by its price. That is why it is
priced so high in my opinion. This is probably serious stuff, and only serious
people need to have it. Also, it helps raise funds for the ashram.

+ Sashank. The cost also has to do with the materials used. Devi Yanthra
weighs a lot
about 25 kg. Copper and pure mercury are particularly expensive.

Despite being a sincere seeker and doing my practices without a day's
miss, witnessing Aadi yogi alayam consecration and experiencing
Sadhguru's grace as well as the puissant presence of the Devi at the
ashram, I still cannot relate to the need for designing these yantras.
Sometimes, I think it's just a way to make the rich, richer; I also feel that for
me my sadhana is the most important. Yet, I can vouch for the authenticity
of the yantras, and I trust Sadhguru. Maybe he wants people to live in
consecrated spaces. But most of these people will use these yantras as
tools to become more prosperous materially. It might also arouse fear and
superstition among them. But alas, Sadhguru knows best...

Hi gautam. As sadhguru says devi stays in a place where a certain care
takes place . People usually dont get that commitment if something comes
for free.

There's no chance of her getting misused. See if you want to get things out
of her (such as disturbing other people's lives) she won't function in that
respect. For her to work at her highest, you yourself have to be absent.
Therefore there is no question of her being used for negative purposes; she
will function whichever way she is made.

If someone else apart from the family members touches it will devi give bad

If I am right, Sadhguru has not told what will happen if any other
person touches the yantra. But, Sadhguru is very specific it should
not be touched by any one else. Actually, there is no need to worry
about it, because this discipline happens automatically. My daughter
who was just 7 years old when we received the yantra takes more
care not to touch it.
