M.H.K. Shastri, Pt. Laxmi Kant Vashisth.

This book is a compendium of the work on Tantra, Mantra and Yantra. This book is purely based on Old Sanskrit classics. In this book the authors have tried to
associate the mantra shastra with astrology. In addition to this, some of the problems of the devotees have been addressed in the work on mantra sadhana.
It deals with mantras for worship, sadhana, appeasing of deities, will power, concentration and many other aspects on mantra sadhana.

Remedies Through Mantras: "Classics say that mantras are sounds which originated from the five faces of Lord Shiva in different forms. The basics of mantra i.e., sabda, is more ancient then any thing which was subtle in form. It could be said that sabda, the sound was born before deity and human being. It is said that sound leaves its impact on common human being from heart to soul. In philosophy of Paanini it was said that Sabda is Brahm."

"All 'Matter' (moveable or immoveable) in the universe are considered to be creation of God and Humans are supposed to be His best creation. Say our classics that God create/generates. He sustains His creations and also destroys them giving place to new. It is we humans who revere these powers of God in its various forms such as Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh, Shakti, Agni and so on. Our seers who dwelt deeply into it discovered that these "powers" of God can be awakened by means of To get best out of it, the seers ritualised ways and means in the course of actions. This whole exercise is known as Tantra (technology) of whose mantra and yantra are two pillars. Mantras are the spells of single syllables or short phrases which when chanted correctly as well as repeatedly produce vibrations which set the nerves in motion and stimulate them for suitable action in consonance with desired achievement."
