|| The Nine Mandalas of Shri Yantra ||


|| The Nine Mandalas of Shri Yantra ||


The two bindus, white and red, are Shiva and Shakti, who in their secret mutual enjoyment are now expanding and now contracting...the Sun is Kama, which is so called because of its desirableness; and Kala is the two bindus which are Moon and Fire.- Kamakalavilasa
