It is important for a Yantra to be energized as it has to be brought "to life" through the specifically prescribed ritual so that it can radiate its beneficence optimally. An un-energized Yantra can be compared to a very complex music system that has been plugged in but not tuned or turned on and the aspirant has no idea which button will activate it. Trial and error over a period of time will cause the music system to function with erratic and irregular efficiency until one finally manages to figure it out, if at all.

Energized Yantras are immediately "tuned and turned on" so to speak. A Yantra will function even if not energized but it will take years, even decades, before it absorbs enough energy (from normal prayers and worship) to function as it should. The ritual of energizing Yantras prevents all this delay and uncertainty while ensuring efficient peak functions from the moment of purchase. It pays to remember that Yantras find their own homes; the intended worshipper does not find it just because he or she buys it.
