Guest guest Posted November 1, 2005 Report Share Posted November 1, 2005 Hari Om and Happy Deepawali to everyone, I m making a research into Sri Yantra. This Yantra itself seems to be a great mystery and pretty complicated but there are also many different opinions about the deity it represents and its mantra. So far I have come across some websites that claim that the Yantra is dedicated to Godess Laxmi. Other claim it generally represents shakti and some well known authors like Harishi Yohari and Robert Svoboda claim in their books that the Godess associated with it is Tripura Sundari, also known by the names Sri Vidya, Sundari, Laleeta, Sontasi, Bala. This is the third of the ten Mahavidyas, the ten different aspects of Shakti, the divine Mother. Strangely the third mahavidya seems to have a different yantra than the sri Yantra. Impressive is also the fact that some use the sri yantra with 5 yoni and 4 shiva triangles whereas others sketch it with 4 yoni and 5 shiva triangles. I suppose this changes the constructive or destructive nature of the yantra. Does anyone know any further information on this subject and does anyone know the mantra associated with Sri Yantra?

Search for Sri Vidya to know which worship which Sri yantra exactly I have no idea, what is the philosophy behind it. Though i am ignorant of exact detail, just heard it somewhere.

Guest guest Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 Instead of looking for the mantra of the sri vidya mantra, I decided to look for the mantra of the deity it represents, tripurasundari. That was easier to find . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
