Sri Yantra, handmade pendant with mandala

This piece of jewelry is the perfect gift for spiritually minded people and those seeking the truth.

Yantras are very powerful symbols of the deep unconscious; they are symbols of the psychic part of us. Just as we can connect images in our minds with objects in and around the world, yantras likewise represent symbols and images inherent in creation, archetypes of human consciousness that represent the growth of the human mind. There are not many studies through which the true meaning of yantras can be understood, because our knowledge is currently quite limited. Yantras are true symbols that connect the individual with true consciousness. Yantras are means through which we can experience transcendental consciousness.

Yantras influence creative and intuitive intelligence, but their true purpose is the creation of a spiritual experience. This is achieved through the gradual unfolding of the many layers that make up our entire being, from the material to the transcendental.

Sri Yantra

The Sri Yantra is one of the most auspicious, important and powerful Yantras. The Sri Yantra is believed to be a symbol that is 12,000 years old.

The Yantra is beneficial for almost everyone. The Sri Yantra is said to be a source for attaining all earthly desires and fulfilling all wishes through inner cosmic power and mental strength. “Sri Yantra” – Sri means wealth and Yantra means “Instrument” – an instrument for wealth. Sri Yantra brings material and spiritual wealth. Sri Yantra has the inexplicable power to fulfill all our wishes (of course, those that are good for us) and to change our lives for the better.

Sri Yantra may be the answer to all problems and negativity in our lives. Every person who uses Shree (Sri) Yantra attains much greater prosperity, peace and harmony. Sri Yantra helps break all obstacles in our lives. It helps us expand our boundaries of growth – spiritually and materially. It helps reduce negative energies and negative situations that prevent us from achieving greater success, prosperity, harmony and peace.

We often find ourselves in situations of extreme stress, lack of peace and harmony, high levels of anxiety, problems in relationships with others, poor investments, unsuccessful business, stagnation in life and profession, diminishing financial prospects, feelings of insecurity, repeated failures and bad luck – despite putting in our greatest effort, hard work, intelligence and good intentions.

The power of Sri Yantra lies in its sacred geometry. The main “instrument” used by the Yantra is known as the Golden Ratio. The sacred geometry of Sri Yantra is a purely visual representation of life’s journey, which is born from cosmic unity (the Source), unfolds into multiplicity (our individual expressions of the Universe), and then returns once again to unity – while maintaining a sense of unity and wholeness throughout. Sri Yantra is itself a meditation.

Sri Yantra is composed of nine interlocking triangles that emerge from a central point and ultimately form 43 smaller triangles. The central point is also known as the “Bindu” – a converging focus between the physical realm and its unmanifest source, symbolizing the Universe with all its abundance. The Yantra also symbolizes the masculine and feminine Divine principles.

Because it is composed of 9 triangles, the yantra is often called Navayoni Chakra (nava means “nine”, yoni is the female womb as the source of life, and chara – or chakra – means energy center.). Interlocking, the 9 main triangles form a network of 43 smaller triangles that symbolize the entire Universe, the whole Cosmos as the symbolic womb of Creation. The triangles (the Universe) are surrounded by an 8-petaled Lotus, a 16-petaled lotus and a temple (square) with four gates symbolizing the four directions of the World.

Sri Yantra or Nava Chakra can also be illustrated as a structure of 9 levels:

1. Sarva Anandamaya, which consists of a single Bindu point – a converging focus between the physical realm and its unmanifest source, symbolizing the Universe with all its abundance.
2. Sarva Siddhi Prada, which consists of one small triangle.
3. Sarva Rogahara – consisting of 8 small triangles.
4. Capea Rakshakara, which consists of 10 small triangles.
5. Capea Arthasadhaka, which consists of 10 small triangles.
6. Capea Saubhagyadayaka, which consists of 14 small triangles.
7. Capea Sankshobahana – a circle containing an 8-petaled lotus.
8. Capea Aasa Paripuraka – a circle containing a 16-petaled lotus.
9. Trailokya Mohana or Bhupura, which consists of a square with three lines and four portals.
