🔸Y A N T R A S🔸
From very simple to very complex, these wordless aspects of mantra: “yantras” can be drawn for all manner of purposes:
health, wealth, prosperity, fertility,
to invoke deities and to worship the mother goddess (see lower right ie Sri Yantra).
These geometric designs are meant only to be drawn by hand (hence the wobbly bits: see lower right) and be drawn with intention and care...colour has no relevance, mere decoration (hence lower right 🙈) Of course, I’d heard of mandalas but the yantra has been (surprisingly) unknown to me until I discovered a book by SKRamachandra Rao of Sri Satguru publications. It’s been interesting learning more about Vedic teachings and ancient Indian cultural practices through a tactile as well as visual medium.
Relaxing, powerful, educational, non-verbal head-sorting.
