Sri Yantra Bhavana Upanishad

The Sri Yantra Bhavana Upanishad is attributed to the Atharvaveda. It is a later Upanishad that illuminates the Bhavana or Deeper Emotions connected to the Sri Yantra, the body of the Mother Divine, and also the body of Divine Yogic Union of Purusha and Prakriti. It expounds the innermost intense feelings of the Soul, its basic desire, and ways and means to connect and unite with the ultimate consciousness.

What is a Sri Yantra? A healing mandala diagram made by 4 Upward Apex Triangles and 5 Downward Apex Triangles, properly intertwined to represent

• the cosmic forces in creation, and

• the principles of duality, harmony, and divinity.

The 9 Basic Triangles create a total of 43 Triangles due to the overlapping, which are grouped (shaded) as

14 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 1 = 43.

Apart from these Triangles,

• there is a central Dot (Bindu)

• there are three Circles encircling the Triangles

• there are four Gates encircling the entire Mandala, composed of three lines.

Sanskrit Seed Sounds (bija mantra) like ॐ Om, are potent healing and nourishing energies. Sound is an energy. Pleasing sounds (meditative music, blessings) have excellent effects on one's behavior, attitude, and long-term all round success in life.

An aesthetically made Mandala can become vastly superior when infused with Seed Sounds.
