Yantra Theory and Practice

The Sri Yantra and the the Creative Dance between Male and Female Principles in the Emanation of Being from a Central Point

The Sri Yantra, or Yantra of Creation, originated in our pre-history. It has been known in the Hindu and Buddhist traditions and since the Vedic times as the most powerful and mystically beautiful of all yantras (geometric mandalas known as power diagrams).

It represents the timeless creative principle of the universe, the continuous unfoldment of all realms of creation from the central source, and with that mindfulness, it is used as an object of meditation.

The central point, called bindu, represents transcendental unity and the source of creation. The opposing sets of triangles represent the male and female principles which form creation, themselves being recognized as expressions of the polarity inherent in the creative force of the bindu. The surrounding geometries represent the realms of creation, entirely supported by the creative process, and which would have no reality whatsoever without the omnipresence of the transcendental source.

We meditate upon that Divine Sun,the true Light of the Shining Ones.May it illuminate our minds.
The Gayatri Verse of the Vedas(from a time long before the historical records)

Unity of purpose to achieve infinite ends. one creative process supporting the other. No one stands alone.
