What is Sri Chakra?

The Sri Chakra, also known as the Sri Yantra, is a complex and highly revered spiritual symbol in the traditions and teachings of Sri Vidya.

The Sri Chakra is a geometrical representation of the cosmos and symbolises the union of the Divine Masculine (Shiva) and the Divine Feminine (Shakti) principles. It consists of nine interlocking triangles surrounding and radiating from the central point (Bindu). These triangles are covered by a series of circles and lotus petals encased within a square with four gates, representing the earthly plane.

The nine triangles are arranged to create forty-three smaller triangles, each representing a particular aspect of the universe or a deity associated with it. The central point or bindu symbolises the origin and culmination of creation, the unity of being, or the divine presence.

Meditating upon the Sri Chakra helps unify the individual soul with the universal consciousness, leading to spiritual awakening and liberation.

The Sri Chakra is thus a highly sacred symbol in the Sri Vidya tradition, embodying deep philosophical and cosmological meanings and serving as a focal point for meditative and ritual practices aimed at spiritual advancement.
