Guest guest Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Namaste Brother Ashokbaba, Shree Yantra as you have described, if I understand correctly, should be sitting on the base. It should not be upside down. For example, take a Parad Shree Yantra which is 3 dimensional and set it on its base and it will sit comfortably. The same for a Sphatik Shree Yantra that is 3 dimensional. Think about a mountain, meru or sumeru -- these cannot sit upside down. Think of a tortoise or koorm, whose shell carries the entire universe. If this is upside down, then the "universe" is upside down which defies the law of Mother Nature. I think the pictures you saw of "Upside-down yantras", may well have been that of the Yantra of Maa Kali in which case, the triangle is upside down with the tip pointing downwards. If the yantra you have described is nevertheless a "Shree Yantra" as you've mentioned, please try and scan a pic to upload to our Photos Section on this List. One of us will check it out for you. It is unusual for a Shree Yantra to be upside down. Traditionally, it sits on the base. Pictures that have them downside up, are probably "Neo" and invented in recent times. Just a few humble guesses from your sister.
