Temples in Amarkantak

Shri Yantra Mandir is located in Amarkantak, Madhya Pradesh. The construction of Shri Yantra Temple started in 1991 and is expected to be completed within seven to eight years. The construction work of this is done only in Guru Pushya Nakshatra. Guru Pushya is most auspicious for the formation of Nakshatra. The incomplete Shri Yantra Mandir is actually the Shri Yantra Mahameru Shakti Peeth. It is being built under the Bhartiya Prachya Yog Shodh Sansthan. The temple is the brainchild of Acharya Mandaleshwar of the Attal Akhada Sri Swami Shukdevanadji and is being constructed according to the ancient tenets of the Hindu temple building contained in the ancient Agama Shastras. The reason why the Shri Yantra Temple is still not completed even after more than 30 years is that construction is undertaken only during the Guru Pushya Nakshatra, which is considered auspicious. The Guru Pushya Nakshatra falls on an average of about 4 to 5 days a year.
