In the case of the original Shree Yantra where the flower Lotus or

Kamal has eight groups with sixty four Lotus dal. It is also seen

that most of the designs of Yantras are based on the growing Lotus

flower.

 

Here the question arises as to why Guru Dattatreya chose only the

Lotus flower as the base of Yantras. The reason is, Lotus is the only

holy flower which originate from the navel (Nabhi) of Lord Vishnu.

Where the God of knowledge and creator of Veda i.e 'Lord Brahma' is

also believed to be seated. Guru Dattatreya is said to be the

representative of the United Trinity' i.e. Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu

and Lord Mahesha. Therefore, the force which pushes man to worship

the Yantras lies in the strong belief that these Yantras are created

by this " Trinity themselves who are the creator, preserver and

destroyer of the world respectively, who also control the Sun, the

Moon, Planets and hence, the whole universe itself.
