Why speak at length? In all situations of dire need—whether poison courses through the veins, disease takes hold, pacification is sought, delusion clouds the mind, or destruction threatens—in times of subjugation, on the battlefield, when wounded, in matters of the divine, when seeking release from bondage, or when wandering deep in the great forest—there exists a supreme remedy. I shall now describe the Hanuman yantra, a sacred diagram that bestows every accomplishment. At the very center of this yantra, one must inscribe the syllable ‘Sādhya,’ placing within it the mystical Pāśi seed-letter. Around this, a line is to be drawn, and enclosing that, a quadrangle. At the eight thunderbolt points surrounding the base, the same seed-letter is written again, marking the yantra with power at every direction. The entire design is then to be encircled with three rings, forming the complete yantra. This sacred diagram should be drawn with pigments of various colors, upon palm leaf or birch bark. Once crafted, the life-force of Hanuman, the mighty monkey, is to be invoked and established within, and worship must be performed according to the prescribed rites. When thus empowered and worshipped, the Hanuman yantra destroys all afflictions—fevers caused by Marīci, sorcery, and other torments. Merely by its presence, ghosts, spirits, and fiends are driven away. The yantra, adorned with three long lines, incorporates the five secret syllables previously described. At the ends of the encircled quarters, the banner of fame is established, and the yantra radiates with the brilliance of a blazing fire or ten million suns. Within the yantra’s design, the epic journey unfolds: the city of Lanka appears, the burning ocean is crossed, and by Sita’s side, the mark of the wind is inscribed. At the end of the wind’s path, the son is to be written. Where the letter ‘n’ ends, the army rampart is marked. At the close of the syllable ‘kāraṇa,’ the sound of the Drona drum and the uprooting of the mountain are inscribed. Further, at the conclusion of the cutting, at the protection of the monkey, and at the end, the assembled group is marked. The episode with Lakṣmaṇa is recalled, and here the phrase averting the splitting of the missile is recited. When the child is mentioned, one must say, “the eclipse of the solar disc.” After Indrajit’s act of deception, the phrase, “let there be the destruction of the wicked,” is pronounced. At the end of the narration concerning Kumbhakarṇa and others, the supreme refuge is invoked. When the leaping over the celestial tree is recounted, the declaration of great prowess is made. At the conclusion of the battle accomplished by the master’s command, Arjuna’s episode is recited. When the phrase ‘Mārttāṇḍa-Meru’ is spoken, one must add, “the seat of the mountain.” At the end of ‘ācārya-mama,’ the destruction of all planets is recited, ensuring the removal of all calamities and the expulsion of all evil ones. After mentioning all diseases and fears, the word “removal” is uttered to dispel them. Then, “the destruction of all enemies” is said, for both oneself and others. At the end of phrases concerning all living beings, the pair: “what is born, bring under control” is recited. Thereafter, all the various names of the king are pronounced. At the close of all weapons, the pair: “destroy both” is said. The fivefold spells are recited in reverse order, followed by: “destroy all enemies.” When hostile forces are mentioned, the phrase: “agitate the armies” is spoken, and then: “accomplish all my undertakings.” Finally, the threefold utterance of “dhe,” the threefold “armor,” the threefold “phaṭ,” and the threefold “hān” are recited in succession. This mantra, known as the garland mantra, is beloved of fire and grants all that is desired. Another mantra, composed of eight syllables beginning with ‘va’ and ending with ‘ba,’ accomplishes all aims. Setting aside the six sections of the twelve-syllabled mantra, its seed and beginning are then revealed, marking the start of a profound and sacred practice. Thus, the Hanuman yantra and its mantras are established as the supreme means for protection, accomplishment, and the destruction of all obstacles.
