Sri Yantra, better known as King of Yantras

1.- Sri Yantra: What is it?

According to the scriptures, Sri Yantra is considered the oldest, most powerful and auspicious Yantra, symbolizing the primordial energy that comes from the union between male and female. It comes from sanskrit, ‘Shree’ meaning ‘wealth’ and ‘Yantra‘ meaning ‘Instrument‘.

Atman, from the Sanskrit ātman, literally means “essence, breath or soul“. So, in Hindu philosophy, and especially in the Vedanta school of Hinduism, Atman is the first principle, the true self of an individual, beyond identification with phenomena. In other words, it is the essence of an individual. So, to attain liberation (moksha), one must acquire self-knowledge (atma jnana); that is, realizing that the true self (Atman) is identical to the transcendent Brahman self.

2.- Sri Yantra: What does its shape mean?

2.1- Composition

Sri Yantra is the mother or “queen” of all yantras, because all other yantras are derived from it. First of all, it is made up of a geometric pattern that represents the totality of creation and existence; through the Advaita Vedanta philosophy, or “non-duality” between the “I” or soul (Atman), and the infinite or higher metaphysical reality (Brahman). Second, it symbolizes the spiritual release and freedom found through self-realization and awareness of the divine within ourselves; the divine in others and in all beings, and the non-dual Oneness of Atman with Brahman.

2.2.- Components

Second, these nine main interlocking Shiva–Shakti triangles form forty-three smaller triangles, which house all the Deities, who are the conscious forces that govern the various powers of nature both in the cosmos and in an individual.

Two circles of lotuses, one with eight petals and the other with sixteen petals surround these triangles and represent creation and vitality. The outer frame denotes a temple-like sanctuary, with four openings or entrances to the infinite regions of the universe.

Shiva and Shakti are involved in the entire process of “Becoming” or “awakening” in its microcosmic (Atman) and cosmic (Brahman) aspects. With Shakti comes creation through the awakening of the kundalini, and with Shiva comes dissolution and a constant recreation of all that exists.

3.- Sri Yantra: What is it for?

It has been used for thousands of years as a focus of meditation, prayer, or concentration to help the individual “awaken” or become aware of infinity and their Oneness with God. It is a tool that is used to visualize the totality of our existence. In other words, our spiritual journey from the stage of material existence to self-realization and enlightenment is mapped out in the Sri Yantra.
