Yantra Mandala

Yantras come from the more than 2000 years old tantric
tradition. A yantra is the yogic equivalent of the Buddhist mandala.
Sri yantra is called the mother of all yantras because all other
yantras derive from it.
The Sri Yantra is a configuration of nine interlacing
triangles centred around the bindu (the central point of the yantra),
drawn by the super imposition of five downward pointing triangles,
representing Shakti ; the female principle and four upright triangles,
representing Shiva ; the male principle.
Man's spiritual journey from the stage of material
existence to ultimate enlightenment is mapped on the Sri Yantra.
The spiritual journey is taken as a pilgrimage in which every step
is an ascent to the center, a movement beyond one's limited existence,
and every level is nearer to the goal.
Each of the circuits of the Sri Yantra, from the
outer plane to the bindu (the center), corresponds with one of the
stages of the spiritual journey. The goal of contemplating the Sri
Yantra is that the adept can rediscover his primordial sources.
The circuits symbolically indicate the sucessive phases in the process
of becoming.

What is a Mandala?
'Mandala' is of Hindu origin, the
term being used for the books of the Rig Veda, but is
also used in other religions such as Buddhism. In the
Tibetan branch of Vajrayana Buddhism, mandalas have
been developed into sandpainting. They are also a key
part of anuttarayoga tantra meditation practices.
In various spiritual traditions,
mandalas may be employed for focusing attention as a
spiritual teaching tool; for establishing a sacred space;
and as an aid to meditation and trance induction. According
to David Fontana, its symbolic nature can help one "to
access progressively deeper levels of the unconscious,
ultimately assisting the meditator to experience a mystical
sense of oneness with the ultimate unity from which
the cosmos in all its manifold forms arises."
