Sri Yantra Mandala

From: $55.00

The Holi Sri Yantra, also known as Sri Chakra, is a very important symbol of the Hindu philosophy known as Tantra.
It is composed by nine mandalas based on nine triangles of different size overlapping with one another.
The triangles facing upwards symbolize Shiva and the masculine, while the triangles facing downwards represent Shakti, the divine feminine also depicted in the Yoni Yantra Mandala.
The diagram is surrounded by lotus petals representing the heart that is the container of the Self, and when the heart opens, understanding comes.
The squared structures outside of the Yantra represents the material world that our senses show us and symbol of the illusion of separateness. Each side has a gate pointing toward the center. These doors represent the passage from the external and material to the internal and sacred.

This ancient symbol has an important cosmological significance as well. In fact is been observed that the design of the Sri Yantra, and in particular the triangles, is based on the rules of the Golden Ratio, a mathematical and geometrical equation observed in all of creation. The Sri Yantra portrait the expansion of the universe starting from the center of the mandala and describing the union of feminine and masculine energy.
This Mandala is a great visual aid to reach higher states of consciousness and deep meditation.
