TRISULA YANTRA

Cast in Lead-free, Kid-Safe, Pewter in the USA by skilled American Crafts People.

The Sanskrit word, Yantra, translates as a ‘meditation symbol’. By focusing on a mandala or yantra during meditative practice, the devotee is guided toward spiritual enlightenment.

Our “Meditation Mandala” is designed to invoke the great Spiritual of Power of the joining of masculine and feminine energies; the union of Shiva and Shakti; the divine being.

Belief in the Divine Mother, the Goddess from whom the universe was born, has influenced many religions. Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, even Chinese Taoism has been impacted by the belief in this limitless energy- the life force, the prana, the supreme ultimate, the chi- from which all life was created.

The geometric shape is the Yantra, used to help focus during meditation. It represents the four primal rivers.

The eight-pedaled lotus is a symbol of the loving, nurturing aspect of the Goddess. The lotus is known as the flower of life; rooted in the earth, surrounded by water, releasing its perfume to the air and fertile from being fired by the sun.

The Circle at the center of the lotus surrounds the consecrated space where all are looked upon as equal. The spirals surrounding the inner circle are symbolic of life and death and represent the womb of the earth. Each dot represents a new spark of life, like the bindu in Hindu tradition.

Finally at the center is the “Trisula”. It is a symbol of great mystery and importance in India. Worshippers of Buddha say it is their deity’s monogram and a symbol of the dharma (law). Worshippers of Shiva believe it to be their God’s Trident. Some call it “The Flame in the Lotus”, or the cosmic joining of male and female energies.

Use the Meditation Mandala as an enhancement to your own Spiritual Journey to Enlightenment!
