SHREE YANTRA
Sri Yantra, also known as
Sri Chakra, is a complex sacred geometry used for worship, devotion and
meditation. Yantra means 'instrument' or 'machine' in Sanskrit. This sacred
symbol is in use for thousands of years, and its origin is clouded in mystery.
The Sri Yantra in its
central portion contains nine triangles. Four of them point upward and
represent the unmanifest power of the universe; all that is beyond
our quotidian sense perceptions. They are thought of as being masculine and
represent the masculine aspect of divinity.
A Sri Yantra
should be placed in the North-East directing of your space and should only be
placed on a Friday. Before you
place the Sri Yantra you must clean that place following the rituals using
milk, saffron (Kesar), and water, and after that just by water.
This ancient symbol is very
powerful because it was built with Sacred Geometry allowing it to clear
the fog that surrounds a person’s life. Shree Yantra is the source of pure
energy. Meaning, it is highly sensitive and has magnificent magnetic powers.
