Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Greetings, I was not able to access the info on " how to draw the SriChakra " (no power point) However, I have been collecting information on the subject for a long time. Some of the best sites I have found are below. The numerous links they provide should offer much information on history and construction methods. http://www.sonic.net/~galen/SY/SY.htm http://www.sriyantraresearch.com/ http://www.selfreferral.com/sriyantra/References/PatFlanagan.pdf http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/george/ There is a wonder-full sense of connection to a Sri Yantra one has created personally. It is truly (in my experience) an offering to the Great Mother no matter what one's artistic or drafting skills. My earliest attempt (39 years ago) is in a frame next to my gold plated copper (flat) and crystal meru (3d) versions on my meditation altar. The latter two are beautiful pieces of art and energized by numerous pranapratishta and years of devotional work with them, but they are not the work of my own hands, heart and mind. I drew it in high school, not really knowing it's purpose, by measuring the lines and angles from a 3 inch drawing in a book on comparative religion. The simultaneous geometry class learning was helpful. I did not understand why it called me for almost ten years, even after a lot of yoga practice and study of Hindu thought. SHE was calling to my heart's yearning even then. For appropriate materials to use and mantrams see: http://www.shivashakti.com/yantra.htm These last two links are interesting computer annimations of the Sri Yantra moving in three dimensions. http://www.zayra.de/soulcom/sriyantra/index.html http://www.zayra.de/soulcom/gifs32000/sriyantra2.html Namaste Cliff / Nadananda With appreciations to Venkat Bhaskr, NMadaswamy and Shri Harsha for clarifications on the Nityas. Thank you all. - h p Thursday, April 19, 2007 9:27 AM Re: How to Draw a Sri Chakra On what material do we draw the sri chakra and with what material?

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 The structure of Sri Chakra and its symmetery can be appreciated fully only by drawing it. One should try even if all you have is a school Geometry box.
