Aum Gam Ganapathaye Namaha| Aum Agastheeshwaraya Namaha | Aum Lopamudraya Namaha|

Its 2020 Navarathri 4th day, mothers presence felt through out. As usual, took photos of pooja and posted in groups. Never thought my niece Isha would ask about Shree Yantra and was keenly looking for a Shree Yantra Locket. So thought of writing this for her during Navarathri.

Sri Yantra is formed by 5 downward triangles which represent feminine energy Shakthi. And four upward triangles male energy representing Shiva. So Shiva Shakthi forming 9 triangles which inturn forms a multitude of 43 triangles giving the awesome structure of Sri Yantra geometric representation of the mystical Supreme Goddess.( ShivaShakthaikya Rupinne Namaha)

The Yantra is composed of a series of nine overlapping triangles around a small central point, Bindu, forming 43 triangular projections. Around the central diagram there is the first Lotus with 8 petals and a second with 16 petals encased in three circles and a square fence (bhupur) of three lines with four entrances on all four sides. The Bindu at the center represents the cosmic Union of Shiva and Shakti and contains the potentiality of the universe within itself. It is the universe before the Big Bang. All other parts of the diagram represent the Cosmos evolved from Bindu, expanding to Tripura Sundari or cosmic creative power. The presiding deity the Shri Yantra is Maha Tripura Sundari, the Great Mother.

The Shri Yantra is the two-dimensional representation of the Sacred Mount Meru, the center of the universe in Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain cosmology. There are nine chakras in the Shri Yantra. Each of these nine levels has a distinct shape, a distinguished name, and is associated with a number of incarnations or aspects of the Supreme Mother. Each level is one of the triangles or circles of Lotus petals, with the outermost square representing the ground level, and the Bindu in its Center is the highest peak of the mountain.  They are:

Trailokya Mohana or Bhupur, a square of three lines with four portals

Sarvasa Paripuraka, a sixteen-petal lotus, which fulfills all the desires

Sarva Sankshobahana, an eight-petal lotus, which agitates everything

Sarva Saubhagyadayaka, composed of fourteen small triangles, which gives all the auspiciousness

Sarvartha Sadhaka, composed of ten small triangles, which accomplish all purposes

Sarva Rakshakara, composed of ten small triangles, which gives all the protections

Sarva Rogahara, composed of eight small triangles, which removes all the diseases

Sarva Siddhiprada, composed of 1 small triangle, which gives all the realizations

Sarva Anandamay, composed of a point or Bindu, which is full of bliss for all.

Practise with Sri Yantra for students.

Take print of the given Sri Yantra and stick on the wall as the central point comes to  centr of eyes and start gazing or do tratak on the figure for 3 min and daily increase by 3 min until it reaches 30 min. Keep slow rythmic breath. After each gaze palm your eyes for 3 mins. Cover your closed eyes with your palm and relax( palming). 

Meditating upon the symbols of the yantra will help in the clarity of thoughts and mind. This is a very efficient and effective way of re-focusing on our goals and life. This auspicious and powerful Sri Yantra offers many benefits to the individual. It brings the spiritual as well as material wealth.

The Sri Yantra is an ancient sacred symbol used for meditation to help achieve higher states of consciousness. Mediating on it is thought to enable the activation of the pineal gland (Third Eye) and aid manifestation.  The visual patterns are said to also be able to connect the right-hand lobe of brain with the left-hand , thus helping balance and improving mental performance. The Vedas explain the Shree Yantra as a scientific, cosmic and planetary energy zone. For students its a great tool.
