Yantras in general are also referred to as machines or engines in Vedic culture because they are supposed to set something in motion and create something new. In India and the Vedic culture, they are not only used in meditation but also used for religious purposes. Painted as an energy image on wall paper or fabric, they are omnipresent in India and are present in almost every house.
In addition to the Flower of Life and the Platonic Solids, the Sri Yantra is another very powerful symbol of Sacred Geometry. The Yantra depicted here is the most powerful in the universe, with the origin of the motif dating back 12,000 years. Its structure reflects the cosmic plan and symbolizes the highest form of consciousness.
The Sri Yantra is said to be one of the oldest, purest and most powerful symbols. His powers should help our wishes come true and our lives change for the better. It is said to bring us wealth, both spiritually and materially. It is also said to help the user achieve peace, strength and success. The motif serves to remove obstacles in life and to dissolve bad influences. The Hindu symbol is called the Yantra of Mahalaxmi, the deity of wealth and well-being.
The special feature of the Sri Yantra is the highly complex geometric shape it contains. It consists of nine triangles, with five pointing downwards and representing female power. The four triangles pointing upwards represent the masculine. The round dot in the middle symbolizes the origin and completion of creation. The special arrangement of the nine triangles creates a fascinating diagram with a total of 43 small polygons.
Already in 2020, Veskor Cassiopeia decided to implement this tantric work of art as a linocut. Now a new edition will follow in 2022. By popular demand, this is now in a square format and has a signature on the back. For the variant offered here, Veskor chose oil-based printing ink in shimmering gold and black Himalayan paper (approx. 135 g/m²). The edition is limited to 170 prints.
The product dimensions are approximately 35 cm x 35 cm. Deviations occur due to the deckle edge and the irregularities that occur during the manual production process of the paper.
Here is a suggestion for the presentation: To show off the Sri Yantra particularly beautifully, a picture frame measuring 40 cm x 40 cm with a suitable background paper can be used. Framing with a passe-partout is also possible.
Shipping is plastic-free and carefully packaged in a flat box. The loving packaging makes the lino print ideal as a surprise or gift for a loved one.
