Instrument for meditation
(In response to a question: what is the Sri Chakra and why does one sit and meditate on it)
Sri Chakra is a pictorial representation of Enlightenment! If you see it, there will be so many complicated diagrams in there. But with patience, in a relaxed manner if you analyze it, it is a very simple diagram. In the same way, enlightenment also when superficially seen appears very complicated. But in a relaxed way if you analyze it, it is very simple. The Sri Chakra can be energized and the lines in it will hold the energy. That is why you sit on it and meditate. It is like an appetizer when you are hungry. When you don't feel like meditating, sit on it, and you will start meditating! These are all instruments to make you meditate.
This is the sacred Sri Chakra (mystical representation of the cosmos) etched on a copper foil by Paramahamsa as a child. Practicing etching of the Sri Chakra was a childhood passion. These foils are now part of the archives collection in the Bangalore ashram.
