Comment: Mantras are recited Sanskrit, Yantras are drawings, such as on the cover of book 2 (left, bottom). These are by far the finest works on these subjects I have ever seen, it is hard to imagine what might surpass them. In book 1, on Mantras, we have not only many, many mantras, but (and this is very rare) precise & detailed instructions for them. In book 2, on Yantras, not only are there, again, precise & detailed instructions, but large, detailed & well-printed illustrations. These books are high magic, you alone are responsible for what you do with them.
