Question on Yantras

[Guest guest]

Dear group members, Namaste,

 

I have a few questions and much appreciate if you can help me.

 

1) In the Shiva Mrityunjaya Yantra, I am trying to understand the significance

of the center triangle facing downward rather than facing upward.

I am referring to the shiva yantra at this URL.

2) In the visualization of Kali Khadgamala stotra, the deities of the Khadgamala

are placed in the various triangles and petals of the Kali yantra. Some of the

avaranas, like Sarvamangalamaya Chakra, Trailokyamohana Chakra are actually

imaginary circles and not really concrete lines/circles drawn on the yantra.

My question is what is the significance of certain chakras being concrete and

certain other imaginary ?

 

Much appreciate your answers.

Padma.
