What does YANTRA mean in Scrabble?
noun
A geometric diagram used as an aid to meditation and worship in Hindu and Buddhist tantric traditions.
A yantra is built from interlocking triangles, circles and lotus petals arranged around a central point, and each pattern is linked to a particular deity or idea. Practitioners look at the yantra while meditating so that the mind settles on its centre. The Sanskrit word means instrument or support, which describes how it is used rather than what it shows.
