Explantion of Shri Yantra found on this page and in our meditation room.

The Sri Yantra may be meditated upon as a representation of the universe as macrocosm and the human body as microcosm. As a macrocosmic image, it represents the union of Consciousness and Energy, or the masculine and feminine divine principles that comprise all of creation. The four upward triangles represent Shiva, or the Divine Masculine, the return of divine power to the Source, and the five downward triangles represent Shakti, or the Divine Feminine, the descent of Spirit into matter. The interplay of Shiva/Shakti gives rise to forty-three triangles, which symbolizes the wholeness of existence. At the center of the yantra, the bindu, or seed-point, represents the still point of Supreme Consciousness - infinite divine potential with the power of manifestation at rest. As the individual soul is an expression of Supreme Consciousness, the yantra may also be viewed as the human temple of Spirit, where the bindu point expresses the devotee’s own being or consciousness.
