The Great Miracle of this Holy Place is that it is one of the famous Shakti Pith of the Universe. It is one of the original source of the Supreme Cosmic Power of Universe. It is the symbol of Supreme Cosmic Energy and hence there is no idol or picture in the Nij Mandir or Temple of Shri- Arasuri Mata Ambaji, but there is simple a cave like Gokh in the inner wall, in which a Gold Plated Holy Shakti Visa Shree Yantra is visible. And this Holy Gokh of Mata Ambaji with Shakti Yantra is used to be so decorated by the Pujari of this Holy Place that one can see it or imagine it as an idol of Mata Ambica. Again on each day of a week , Shri Amba Mataji's Gokh having this Holy Shakti Visa Yantra in its centre in the Nij Mandir is also decorated in such different way and manner that it may look one of the famous Incarnations of Goddess Nav Durga, sitting on its special Vahan.

Thus the Visa Chakra Holy Yantra, in a symbol of one of the above said Maha Devi Shakti Swaroopi, sitting in the Holy Gokha of Nij Mandir with tradition Shringar is worshiped on the relevant day as shown in the above said table, with Sodashopachar Shastrokta Vidhi i.e., with all kinds of Vedic rituals and traditions by the priests or pujaries of Patan, belonging to the ancient priests of the Temple of Ambaji i.e. Pujari Kul of Bhatt Family. The Visa Yantra in the Gokh of the inner wall of the Nij Mandir or Temple of Mata Ambaji is here worshipped and there is no idol of Devi Arasuri Ambica. A Gold Plated Holy Shakti Visa Yantra is fixed on a marble plate. The ornaments and holy attire are placed in such a way and manner that it looks like an idol of Mataji Ambaji. As per the Indian Scriptures and legends, this Gold Plated Shakti Visa Yantra is entirely a holy Shree Yantra. This golden Yantra has kurma back with gold and is connected with that of the original Yantras of Nepal and Ujjain Shakti Piths and has 51 letters therein this Shakti Shree Yantra. It is also believed that the worship of this Visa Shree Yantra is done only after tying a bandage on the eyes as it is prohibited to look at it.This Yantra is also worshiped ritually with Nav Chandi Yagna and with other traditional Sodashopchar Puja, on each eighth day of every month. It is also considered as Kalpavruksha, because of which this Devasthan has also flourished like anything. In the main temple the silver sandals or Paduka of Mata Ambaji are also worshiped. There is also a big idol of a Holy Lion in front of Gokha of Mata Ambaji, and the devotees use to worship this holy lion with Kanku Puja, which is also a traditional symbol of Indian married woman who use to keep Kanku on the front of the middle of her head and hairs, for the sake of her happy matrimonial life. There is no discrimination of any caste, creed or religion in front of Mata Ambaji. The Darshan of Mata is available to all kinds of people. But nobody is allowed to worship the Holy Yantra, except the priests of the temple and the family members of the former rulers of Danta State, after taking ritual baths and in silk apparels only. There is always worships of Goddess of Mata Ambaji with Durga Path, Mantras and stotras of Bhawani, together with all other daily and occasionally Puja, Devotions and Pilgrimage Offerings made by the pilgrims and tourists, under the direct supervision and administration of Shri Arasuri Ambaji Mata Devasthan Trust. Usually Mata Ambaji is worshiped with Arti Puja & Naivedya everyday in morning and evening during Sandya Kal, except in summer time when Mataji is worshiped with Three Arti Puja & Naivedya every day.Moreover There is a special arrangement for Annakoot and Thal of Devi Bhagawati, for which Shri Ambaji Temple Trust and the priest Bhattji makes all the necessary arrangements at the request of any devotees,seeking to perform this Special Seva of Annakoot and Thal of Devi Bhagawati, There is also an Akhand Divo - a Holy Lamp in Chachar Chowk, which has been burning since many years i.e. since the period of Akheraj , a merchant and the devotee of Mata Ambaji as per the legend. The same Holy Lamp is still burning in front of Mata Ambaji and the devotees use to fill Ghee therein and keep it burning before Mataji. The Main Temple of Ambaji is short and small but there is a huge Mandap and there is a Holy Gokh of Mataji in the Garbh- Gruh, and in front of this there is a big Chachar Chowk. So Mata Ambaji is also known as Chachar Chowkwali too. The ritual worships of Ambaji is usually performed in this Chachar Chowk, and during the period of Navratri the devotees use to play and enjoy Garba of Mata Ambaji in front of the main temple in this Chachar Chowk, which is also illuminated with colorful lightings from all corners, as it is so done during the Festivals of Ambaji Devasthan.

Importance of Shree Yantra

In the cosmos there are three states-Creation, Establishment and Destruction and these are represented by the three circles in the Shree Yantra which in itself is the symbol of the universe or cosmos. When this circle is elevated it stands as a symbol of Sumeru Mountain balancing the whole universe and it contains of all the worlds situated in the Sumeru Mountain, as described in Puranas. It is called "Meru Prastha Shree Yantra" and is the best of all. Shri Yantra is the worshipping place of the form of the super goddess, Mahatripur Sundari. It is Her divine abode. All the gods and goddesses are worshipped in it and all other religious adorations are done here. It includes all the conducts, all the learning and all the elements. The rightful person of all sects, castes and creeds can believe in it as the religious practitioners and priests.

But out of all these Shree Yantras, the Yantra which is dug out of crystal, chiseled minutely in an elevated form i.e. in Meru Form is regarded as the best of all. Crystal Shree Yantra is the best for the householder also.

Yantra Guidelines

FOR HINDUS

Shri Yantra Sthaapana in your home/office/vehicle is done on a Friday . Soak in saline water overnight (Thursday night ) . This takes away all negativity from the crystal . Then take it out , wash in normal water and keep on moist earth (mud) under sunlight for few hours . Then take it for Puja . Place Yantra on a plate and wash it with water, and milk mixed with saffron . Then wash it again with water . Light incense and sprinkle water where the Yantra is to be kept chanting "Aim Hreem Namah" . Place yellow cloth and a sheet of silver/gold and place Yantra on it . Put Kum Kum/ Sandal paste and a coral mala on the Yantra . A Shivling is also placed near the Yantra during Pran Prathistha . Offer flowers (yellow) , Gur (jaggery) , raw turmeric and incense to the Yantra . Chant 108 times the following mantra on a Lotus seed rosary: "Om, Shreem Hreem Shreem Kamle Kamalalaye Praseed, Praseed, Shreem, Hreem Shreem Om Mahalaxmaye Namah"Then cover Shree Yantra with red cloth . Pray and worship every Friday without lifting from Seat . Every Friday take off the red cloth and offer fresh flowers and offer Gur (jaggery) , raw turmeric and incense to the Yantra . Rest of the days only have sight (darshan) of the Yantra by lifting the red cloth. The tip of the Shree Yantra is called the aerial or antenna in scientific term and is called Mahatripur Sundari which means Niwas Sthan (home) of Sampoorna (all) Devis and Devtas (God and Goddess) in religious term. Meditation is done on the tip of the Shree Yantra (Mahatripur Sundari) and while chanting Mahalaxmi Mantra concentrate on the tip and meditate with open eyes. It is also helpful for students in achieving focus and intelligence .

FOR OTHER RELIGIONS Since Sri yantra works on the cosmic ray theory, apart from Hindus even Muslims, Parsis, Christians and people following other religions also believe in it because they believe in the cosmic ray theory of the stones. They do not do Puja like the Hindus but they keep it near their Holy Books or at the place of worship. They also concentrate on the tip and meditate while chant the lines from their holy books with open eyes.
