Sri Yantra Linework - Laser Engraved Agate

A yantra is a visual Mantra, something to focus upon during meditation to assist in deepening and strengthening medtitative states. The Sri yantra, also known as Sri Chakra, is called the mother of all yantras because all other yantras derive from it. In its three dimensional form, Sri Yantra is said to represent Mount Meru, the cosmic mountain at the center of the universe.

The Sri Yantra is conceived as a place of spiritual pilgrimage. It is a representation of the cosmos at the macrocosmic level and of the human body at the microcosmic level (each of the circuits correspond to a chakra of the body).

The Sri Yantra is a configuration of nine interlocking triangles, surrounded by two circles of lotus petals with the whole encased within a gated frame, called the "earth citadel". The nine interlocking triangles centered around the bindu (the central point of the yantra) are drawn by the superimposition of five downward pointing triangles, representing Shakti ; the female principle and four upright triangles, representing Shiva ; the male principle. The nine interlocking triangles form forty three small triangles each housing a presiding deity associated with particular aspects of existence.

The four lines of the outer frame denote the figure to be a sanctuary with four openings to the regions of the universe.

This design is laser engraved into a Brazilian agate. When we laser engrave the design, the surface of the stone is chemically changed. It "crazes" the surface, making the polished shine grow microscopic opaque white hairs.

Each agate slice that we engrave is variable in color, shape and size. When purchasing this listing, you are purchasing a custom engraved item that we will create for you after purchase. We stock our agate supply with wonderful pieces and hand select the stone for the engraving, to make sure it is the best one that we can possibly make. If you are concerned about color, shape or orientation, just contact us for a custom order!

At LaserTrees, we create items as they are ordered, so please allow us a one-week lead time to create and ship your order. If you have a need-by date, don't hesitate to contact us. All orders ship from California, where they are produced.
