Guest guest Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 >>"namaste someone gave to me a gold kali yantra as a gift, which i have on my alter. i also have a sri yantra as well. i have come across various conflicting information as to what direction they need to be pointing. so what direction would, say the bottom side need be pointing (corresponding to the pointy end in a female yantra)? and is there an exception with the sri yantra as some believe? thank you kalidas"<< Hi Kalidas, triangle in center points downwards on both yantras. In Sri Yantra the downward pointing triangles are Shakti, the upward: Shiva. Interlocking, they form all of creation. Maybe you were thinking about how people worship Sri Yantra? from the bindu outwards or from the bhupura inwards? I have seen Kali Yantra with the triangle pointing upwards but it is not the usual way it is depicted...sometimes people paint it that way to "tamp down" the fiercer aspects of Kali, as I have been told. sadhvi <*> / <*> <*> Your Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
