Shri is the sacred sound of cosmic auspiciousness and abundance and when written or spoken it carries a spiritual potency (shakti). Written as Sri or Shree or Sree or Shri, it stands for affluence, grace, wealth, light, lustre, splendour, beauty, loveliness and authority.

There are various levels and manifestations of Sri

  • She is seen in many forms, such as Bhudevi and Sridevi. Most people think that they are separate beings although they are one. Bhudevi is the representation

    and totality of the material world or energy, in which she is called Mother Earth. The analogy of milk that transforms into yoghurt is used to demonstrate how Sri who is transcendental, transforms into Durga in this material world. Durga is approached by her devotees for fulfillment of material desires. She is also called “the beauty of three worlds” and in this context she is called Sri Tripura Sundari whose magical diagram is called the “Sri Yantra”.

  • Sri embodies the spiritual world, also known as Vaikuntha, the abode of Laxmi-Narayan or Vishnu. She possess the divine qualities of God, as she is the embodiment of God’s superior spiritual feminine energy, which purifies, empowers and uplifts the individual. Hence, she is called the Goddess of Fortune. She is believed to be the Mother of the Universe
  • Goddess Laxmi is a soothing, kind, warm and approachable mother figure who willingly intervenes in the lives of devotees. When asking Visnu for grace or forgiveness, the devotees always approach Him through the intermediary presence of Laxmi Devi.
  • Sridevi or Laxmi as the power and consort of Lord Vishnu, is present on His chest on the heart, as She is the embodiment of love, from which devotion to God or Bhakti flows. It is through Love/Bhakti or Laxmi that the atma or soul is able to reach God or Vishnu.
  • She is also the personification of the spiritual fulfilment and is described as an ocean of compassion and mercy. Maha laxmi is liberal and can infuse our hearts with spiritual knowledge without considering our qualifications. She resides within the hearts of Her devotees.

  • The name Sri always precedes the Lord’s name for example: Sri Narayan, Sri Krsna. Why ? The significance of this is that Narayan is never without Her, He is the energetic and She is His energy, and in this way they are simultaneously one and different. The yin yang concept symbolises this oneness and difference.
  • She also presides over 16 forms of worldly wealth which she easily grants: Fame, Knowledge, Courage and Strength, Victory, Good Children, Valor, Gold, Gems and Other Valuables, Grains in abundance, Happiness, Bliss, Intelligence, Beauty, Higher goals, High Thinking and Higher Meditation, Morality and Ethics; Good Health, Long Life.

    The First manifestation of Lakshmi
    Granary wealth
    Wealth of courage
    Elephants, symbols of wealth
    Wealth of continuity, progeny
    Wealth of victory
    Wealth of knowledge and education
    Monetary wealth
 
 
Although Mother Laxmi is worshiped as the goddess of fortune, when she is worshiped with Narayana, the worshiper is blessed with not only wealth but also peace, prosperity and spiritual protection. They can be worshiped in forms, such as Laxmi Narayan, Laxmi Narasingha, Sita Rama and the original source Sri Sri Radha Krsna.
Sri Laxmi Devi

Sri Laxmi Devi

The ancient scriptures of India ultimately advise us all to pay extreme regards to Laxmi, and any person who disregards her is sure to fall on evil days. This means that wealth should be well protected and properly used. The misuse of wealth is sure to generate negative karma, and the resultant suffering and unhappiness that is accompanied with it.

Laxmi devi’s quality of being chanchal, denotes her fickle nature. She tends to not stay in one place too long and can just as easily leave as she arrives ! However honouring Sri Yantra and Meru Chakra with Her mantra, offers you an opportunity to petition her to remain here.

What is a Vastu Yantra ?

There are thousands of different types of yantras, however in the art of Vastu, twelve specific and authentic yantras are used as space correctional tools.

  1. According to ancient Vedic tradition the Avatars (incarnations of Krsna) are the presiding controllers of the four cardinal points and as well as the four sub directions. They reside within the various points of the respective Vastu Yantras, and once invoked by their respective mantras, they open our minds and hearts to Their transformative power.
  2. Yantras have been used in Vastu for thousands of years in order to balance defects on the energetic and karmic plane. Simply by applying yantras, the energetic quality of a room is being influenced, especially if it is applied to one of the energetic key points of a room.
  3. Corrections applied on the physical plane such as changes in the building structure are especially important, because those changes most directly affect the overall energy situation. However, a deeper level of Vastu is the karmic plane, focussing on the combination and interaction of planetary influences inside the house. Such subtle means of correction are effective, because Vastu qualities mainly affect the subtle plane, and therefore one can also find counteracting means on this plane using Yantras
  4. This effect is due to the Geometric elements: In general, yantras are made of complex geometric elements, which form a geometric whole that creates a dynamic field of force or matrix of energy.
  5. If you look closely at a Vastu Yantra you can see Sanskrit names of the Avatars and astrological symbols representing the effectual planets. One or more of the 5 great elements (Earth, Water, Air, Ether and Fire) and the Devas or Universal maintainers of the cosmos, are also automatically included within their respective yantras.
  6.  The Avatars govern the spiritual level of our being and all the other levels; Geometric, Karmic, Energetic are working as subservient to that principle. This explains why wearing a Yantra or concentrating upon it bestows spiritual and astrological benefits.

Parashuram Yantra

Parashuram Yantra

 

Parashuram Yantra  The Southeast is ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty which represents our sense of harmony, passion and enjoyment. On the material level, Venus stands for sexuality, wealth and beauty, while on a inner level it represents devotion to truth and spiritual sciences. It mainly affects women, children and the second son within your home.

The do’s

This area is well suited for a kitchen, since the creative energies of cooking are complemented by the Venetian influence .                                                                       In the home, it is a good idea to keep this area clean, tidy, and you may place diamonds, artefacts or images depicting qualities of Venus. You can use the colours of the rainbow, turquoise and silver, as well as extract from the Yantra above for choice of decor within this room.

In the workplace, it is a good place to manufacture goods or operate machinery and heating or lighting systems.  Any room using fire, electrical storage would be a positive room function in the Southeast of your property as well as a kitchen or a home gym or workout space, office with many electrical gadgets, a fireplace, recreation room and a home theatre

 The don’ts

If you can refrain from storing sell by date food or fresh food on the Southeast point of your home or kitchen, this would give it a longer life, however storage of cooking oils is fine . Agni, the celestial deity in charge of fire element pervades this area, therefore in order to avoid a clash of elements, water is also not stored on or near this point.

Possible Negative Outcome

Weak Vastu in this area may lead your business to have drawn out transactions and slumping of stocks and investments. In terms of your health , eye infections, kidney and reproductive problems as well as lethargy may manifest and uncontrolled sexuality.

Remedy

Whilst chanting the Parashuram mantra you can place this Yantra, on a Friday, in the Southeast point of your home or work place thus nullifying any Vastu discrepancies on the energetic and karmic levels and thereby create a space where you can get in touch with the higher qualities of Venus.

Any severe spatial defects can be further transformed and harmonised with the installation of the Vastu pyramid in the centre of your property or on the southeast compass point point and it will work in conjunction with the Parashuram yantra on your wall.

The Positive outcome

It enhances loving relationships, friendly interactions and awards comfort, luxury and sensuality, creating a space in which to have fun, love and more joy in your life.

Sri Yantra 300px

Sri Yantra 

 

  • The Vedas explain Shri Yantra as a scientific, cosmic and planetary energy zone and is one of the most auspicious, powerful transformative tools used for obtaining desired consciousness and results. It is proven to be universally beneficial for all.
  • This timeless symbol of good fortune has been used to invoke prosperity and well being, as well as an aid for meditation for centuries. It’s complex geometry is the key to it’s extraordinary effect, transforming and harmonising living spaces as well as counterbalancing a large percentage of energetic disturbances.
  • Sri yantra, also known as Sri Chakra, is called the mother of all yantras because all other yantras are derived from it. It is often referred to as the ‘The king of Power Symbols”.

Where is it best placed?

 It is best placed in the Northwest, North, NorthEast or East of your home. In all images the centre triangle with the dot in it usually points downwards, however In Vastu when installing this yantra this triangle should point towards the East for generating auspicious energies.

The Five Great Elements represented within the Geometry 

Our universe is composed of the five great elements in perfect proportions and harmony with each other, allowing us to maintain our existence on this planet as we know it. The Sri yantra’s geometry demonstrates the significance of this balance.

Circle = Energy of the element water

Square = Energy of the element earth

Triangle = Energy of the element fire

Diagonal lines = Energy of the element air

Horizontal line = Energy of the element water

Vertical line = Energy of the element fire

Point = Energy of the element ether.

 The Design and Significance

  • In the image above, the diagram consists of nine interwoven isosceles triangles : four point upwards, representing the divine primordial feminine dynamic energy. The male aspect are the five triangles pointing downwards, representing Siva, the primordial male essence of static wisdom
  • The centre, there is a big dot (known as the bindu), which is the primordial matter or the starting point of creation resulting from the union of the male and female energies.
  • The triangles are angled in such a way that they produce 43 subsidiary triangles, which form the abodes of different demigods (Universal rulers).
  • The sri yantra has outer rings consisting of an eight-petalled lotus, enclosed by a sixteen petalled lotus,girdled in turn by three circles, which represent creation, maintenance and dissolution.
  • The lotus flower typically represent chakras, with each petal representing a psychic propensity. They are all enclosed in a square with four doors or gates, one on each side. which represents the boundaries within which the deities reside, protecting you from the chaos and disorder of the outside world.

The Evolution of Man

Man’s spiritual journey from the stage of material existence to ultimate enlightenment is mapped on the Sri Yantra. This spiritual journey or pilgrimage in which every step is an ascent to the center, is a movement beyond one’s limited existence, and every level is nearer to the goal. Such a journey is mapped in stages, and each of these stages corresponds with one of the circuits of which the Sri Yantra is composed from the outer plane to the bindu in the center. The ‘bindu’, the dot in the centre, represents the original unity of the male and female principles prior to creation point from which the manifestation of the cosmos emerges

Now that we have familiarised ourselves with the significance of the Sri Yantra geometry, we can better understand the Meru Chakra and how it works.
 
NB. This Yantra is included within the twelve Vastu Yantra set .                                                                  Activate your Sri Yantra with Mantra

By 2 Comments

The energies of Mercury planet in the North direction are supportive in a karmic way to help you develop the ability to plan and manage your finances and communications in a productive way. This means that positive Vastu adjustments in this area are shown to improve your income and finances.                                                                                 The North area of your building is very important because this is where the vital magnetic, female energies of the Earth flow from its centre, and into your home or office. This energy circulates within the building after meeting in the Northeast with East male, electrical energies of the Earth. Here they combine to provide balance and harmony in any given space as they travel around the building.

8 Ways to Adjust to your North

  • Open up your energy field in the North of your home and create a light, clear and clutter-free environment. Avoid using the North for heavy or bulky storage.
  • If there are no windows or doors in this area you can open up the space with the use of a large mirrors on the North point of the wall.
  • Using Vastu floor plans, a Vastu consultant will help you choose the best location for main entrance on your plot or building placed in the North. This also attracts money flow.
  • Communicate more and better to stimulate your cash flow by placing a flowing water feature in the North. If this is not possible you can use images of water cascading down through a green environment.
  • Use of green decor and gemstones of Jade, Peridot or Emerald are well placed here and can they also be activated with the Buddha mantra.
  • Small green potted plants helps to encourage positive bioenergetics of plant life.
  • Invoke Lord Buddha in His yantra and place it on the North wall of your room or property. Faithfully chant His mantra and install the Buddha yantra. Meditate and be open to receive an abundant cash flow.
  • A Sri Yantra, the Meru Chakra (She benedicts Her devotees with good fortune, wealth and auspiciousness on all levels.) and /or the Vasati pyramid  placed here can also work wonders for improving cash flow and enhancing our communications
