Shree Yantra is a holy geometrical depiction of feminine
divinity, Shakti. Geometry of Shri Chakra (Shri Yantra) and its importance has
been explained in detail in Yogini Hridaya, second part of the Vamakeshvara Tantra. It also describes the
nature of Shakti and origin of Universe. Four upward pointing triangle represents
masculine divinity Shiva and five downward pointed triangle represents feminine
divinity Shakti. Combination of these
four upward pointed and five downward pointed triangle in Shri Yantra is
perfect demonstration of fusion of Shiva and Shakti which creates universe and
life.
Contrary to the common believe that Shri Yantra represents
goddess Laxmi, The truth is Shree Yantra represents all feminine divinity and
of course goddess Laxmi is one of them.
In southern part of India it is common to see Shree Chakra in many
temples and in almost every household. It is equally popular in Northern India
where people worship Shree Yantra for better fortune and luck. In Tantra
Shashtra, it is believed that worshipping of Shakti with devi mantra along with
this Yantra gives speedy result. Though there are different Yantra for
different form of Shakti (Kali, Durga, Laxmi), but worshipping Shri Yantra
gives balanced effect of worshipping all these form of Shakti.
