Mandala Description: Meaning and Symbolism

     Integrated within the organic architecture of the kájha-síntha mandala is found the hexagram, a six-pointed star composed of two interlocking triangles, together in harmonious embrace. These triangles represent the coming together of opposite concepts such as fire and water, light and dark, male and female. They symbolize the act of bringing these elements together into a balanced and joyous unity. The downward-pointing triangle displays a star in each corner, symbolizing power, light and energy, while the upward-pointing triangle exhibits three eyes, representing vision, awareness and consciousness. In Yogic mythology, the upward triangle is Shiva, the Pure One who reveals Truth, while the downward triangle is Shakti, the Divine Mother, Preserver, and embodiment of universal energy. In the center of the mandala lies the Flower of Life, a spiritual symbol over six thousand years old, created from the common areas of six interlocking circles. The Flower of Life is an element of Sacred Geometry, revered for its perfect form, proportion and harmony, while the circles that form its structure represent the eternal and unbreakable continuity of the universe.
