Kali Yantra

 

 

 

This yantra form is based on the one given in Shakta Pramod

The outside square, known as bhupur, the seat of the yantra, is

the same as for any other yantra, with four gates at the east, west,

north, and south, corresponding to the four cardinal points.

 

The two lines around the bhupur and the gates-colored gold and

chrome yellow-form the two layers, and the deep blue color of the

bhupur forms the third. These three layers are the three states of

matter: solid, liquid, and gaseous. Each layer inside and outside the

bhupur (seat) is marked by a gold line, which helps to maintain the

geometrical structure of the diagram.

 

Inside the bhupur and outside the circular pattern appears a

triangle that is only partially visible at its base line and two

corners outside the circular pattern. This triangle represents the

Cosmic Mother (Tripuramba), inside of whom is the entire phenomenal

world, represented by an eight-petaled lotus. This partially visible

triangle is symbolic of the infinity of the Divine Mother, who is

only partially manifested as Kali.

 

The eight-petaled lotus represents the octave of prakriti, the

manifested phenomenon:

 

Akasha.

 

Air.

 

Fire.

 

Water.

 

Earth.

 

Mind.

 

Intellect, and

 

Ego.

 

The three gold circles inside the eight petaled lotus symbolize

the three aspects of time to which these eight petals of the

phenomenal existence contribute their karmas These three golden rins

of tune are past, present, and future, which are connected with the

same point, the center being concentric.

 

The three triangles overlapping each other represent the three

gunas - sattya, rajas, and tamas - which are the three qualities or

modes of energy, the shakti. These three triangles are connected with

the three rings of time.

 

In the center is the bindu, the central point of meditation-the

Divine Mother Kali herself.

 

The color of this yantra is dominated by a dark or deep blue.

Meditation on this color forms its complementary color, orange, which

gives inspiration, makes one ready to accept the ideas of others,

makes one sociable, and cures depression and pessimism.

 

The crimson with a touch of blue, which is the color of the

central triangle, inside of which is the golden bindu, is a color of

love (faith).

 

Its from a web page i had seen ages ago...all the pedantics please do

not expect me to quote exact source...really no time today!!

O the Sri yantra when placed with the central triangle pointing

towards you (ie. downward) it is srishti or creation form. when the

apex of the riangle faces away from you 9upward) it is called Shahara

(or dissolution) form.
