The Sri Yantra
Learn How To Draw The Sri Yantra
Sri = Magnificent Beauty
There are many ways to work with the Sri Yantra — drawing, painting, colouring and doing rituals with the 3-D Meru, or creating the chalk drawings filled with flowers and coloured sand and candles known as Siri Jyoti.
The Sri Yantra can be seen in many ways: as a mirror of your physical body, as a mirror of your energetic body, through the nadis and chakras, as a depiction of Tripura Sundari — also known as Lalita — as a grouping of goddesses surrounding Tripura Sundari, and as a map of the Universe. Working with the Sri Yantra can help you feel better in yourself, physically, mentally and emotionally, and align you with the Universe and Mother Earth herself.
I have been working with the Sri Yantra deeply since 1998 when I met Sri Amritananda. The practice is like the proverbial onion — it gets richer and more layered with every Sri that I encounter. It is my great honour to share some of the discoveries I have made along the way.

There is also a chant that accompanies the Yantra — the Khadgamala, the puja done to worship Sri, the Goddess.
