Mantras, Yantras and Fabulous Gems

by Howard Beckman

Mantras, Yantras and Fabulous Gems was written to enable people, especially from the West, to understand and appreciate the ancient healing techniques that have been passed down verbally for generations and finally put into verse by the great sages and seers of ancient Bharata-varsha (India).

Just one part of the vedas-mantras, yantras and gemstone therapy have been utilised with Vedic astrology and ayurveda as a form of prescription for thousands of years. It is the authors wish that the reader, once having tasted this knowledge, will feel excited at the prospect of delving further into the Vedas and all the secrets they contain.

In this decade of the twentieth century many fads and trends from fashion to language and philosophy use some portion of Vedic science incorporated into western lifestyle. There are so many people giving their own views of what they mean, but these sciences must be understood as they were originally presented to be effectual. Our feeling is that the book will be recognized as the work of a man who is a true devotee of not only Vedic science, but overall spiritual culture of ancient India.
