Book review of Yantra Tantra Mantra Vidhya by Dr Deepak Singla
Yantra Tantra Mantra Vidhya
Astrology, as an applied science, is still considered one of the most imprecise branches since there is no super hard proven factuality about it. However, in recent times, this mindset has been slowly changing thanks to the dozens of studies we have witnessed over the years. Yantra Tantra Mantra Vidhya by Dr Deepak Singla is a handbook written after a lot of meticulous research, delving into these obscure paths, albeit with hard-found, well-researched means to solve issues that appear in our daily course of life.
Astrology is assured of recognition from psychology without further restrictions because astrology represents the summation of all the psychological knowledge of antiquity.

Indeed, astrology, too, is a science in the true sense of the term. Be it numerology, astrology, or any of its allied fields, there is a cause-and-effect science involved since they too operate upon a foundation of strongly held principles of factuality and hence are accurate in many regards. For instance, planetary conjunctions as per astrology that are considered windfall, favourable, or extremely unlucky have been seen to be pretty much on point, in tandem with what the particular science says about them. So, like Saturn, which is a strong planet, has certain effects, so does Venus, which, BTW, is a planet of beauty and love too!
Hey, but today I am not going there. My discussion today is upon a book I recently read that was so precise and on-point with regards to its data and also the solutions it presented that I was confused as to the status of its current consideration, as usually astrology, astronomy, and numerology, which are considered sciences of an inexact nature, happened to be so closer to accuracy.
I am referring here to Dr Deepak Singla’s book titled “Yantra Tantra Mantra Vidhya.”, a brilliant handbook suggesting numerous ways and means to not only get rid of problems in one’s life but also gain success and live a better life. In a nutshell, all those little tricks and traits, the use of which will surely benefit one in the long run.
Okay, before we proceed, you might argue, why believe in the “Totka” or “hack,” as I like to call it in English, to solve a problem or overcome a situation? Well, my answer to you in this case is “Marta, kya na karta!”. Exactly my point here, meaning that when in doubt and conflict, when faced with challenging scenarios, one always resorts to means to solve and overcome them, right? So, why not use these hacks, which, BTW, are perpetually harmless and of a spiritual and religious nature? Involving the use of chanting, meditation in a particular manner and at a specified time, the use of certain plants and leaves, and also prayers in a certain format to specific Gods, all of these comprise the almost 150 odd “totkas” which Dr Deepak has expertly assimilated for us through this treasure mine of his.
A well-known astrologer, spiritual coach, and writer, Dr Singla holds a Ph.D. in Vedic Sciences from Chandigarh in astrology and has been sharing his knowledge and inputs on the subject for the last 18 years through a newspaper titled “Agyaat Darshan”, He is also the winner of several gold medals as well as accolades in the field of astrology. He also features on the Divya TV channel, sharing his expertise and teaching us the “hacks, as he calls them.
Acclaimed widely nationally and internationally, naturally, when the book came into my hands, I was intrigued to first see what it was that Dr Deepak had put forth differently from other astrology experts.
To begin with, Dr Deepak has researched the entire science from cause to effect, deeply understanding as well as depicting right from the top why these “totkas” or tantras are needed. Not mistaking them for any black magic, I realized these are religiously inclined, natural solutions that have a deep-rooted meaning and are thereby inclined to be useful and successful. For instance, we know that giving water to the Tulsi plant is very beneficial for the one who gives it, but have you ever thought about why, when and how? Similarly, to get a particular leaf of a plant to be used in a puja or vidhi to do the totka, you simply cannot do so at any time. Surprisingly, I discovered that you need to do the same in a specific manner at a specific time, ensuring all is done in that precise way, to be able to get the correct and maximum advantage of the entire exercise.
There are solutions, aka totkas, in this one, right from monetary, marital, business, financial success, education, and health-related ones to even graver ones such as the evil eye, failure, grave life conditions and so on. Overcoming these scenarios by way of simple solutions involving the use of some herbs and leaves and certain meditational, chanting, and prayer techniques in combination, one can very easily get rid of them, as per this one.
I was impressed by how every situation or issue has been meticulously broached and solved by way of simple hacks, which are not at all difficult to do, and surely the results are bound to be positive. Yes, I support the results since any type of positive chanting, prayer or meditation has always been proven to do only good, so no harm here.
Simple yet effective writing, Dr Deepak surely knows his craft and is a master of his craft when it comes to these astrological hacks, and I for one would strongly recommend you all read and preserve this one for your own sake, delving into it whenever faced with a scenario in life.
Go for this one since one needs to have an “agony aunt” of sorts always at hand in life, and this one is your agony aunt for all the problems of life.
