Saravana Bava Yantra – The Divine Geometry of Lord Murugan’s Blessings
The Saravana Bava Yantra is a sacred geometric design dedicated to Lord Murugan (also known as Kartikeya, Skanda, or Subramanya), the divine son of Lord Shiva and Goddess Parvati. The term “Saravana Bava” is one of the most powerful mantras of Lord Murugan, said to embody his six divine faces (Shanmukha). “Saravana” refers to the sacred Saravana Poigai lake where Murugan was born, and “Bava” represents pure divine consciousness.
The yantra is traditionally inscribed on copper, brass, silver, or paper, with precise geometric symmetry believed to attract and channel Murugan’s spiritual energy. It is used in homes, temples, or personal altars for worship, meditation, and protection.
