• Introduction
• The Shree Yantra, Shri Yantra, or Shri Chakra is
  a mystical diagram (yantra) found in Hinduism's
  Shri Vidya school.
• It is made up of nine interlocking triangles,
  four of which point upwards to represent Shiva
  and five of which point downwards to represent
  Shakti.
• All of this is centred on the Bindu, the centre
  point. The cosmos and the human body are
  represented by these triangles.

• Shree Yantra is also known as the Navayoni
  Chakra because of its nine triangles.
• A Mahameru is a three-dimensional representation
  of the two-dimensional Shree Yantra.
• This form is what gives Mount Meru its name. The
  Shri Yantra is the source of all other yantras,
  including Mount Meru.

• Appearance
• Subhash Kak contends in a 2009 edition of
  Brahmavidya (the Adyar Library's journal) that
  the description of Shri Yantra is identical to
  the yantra described in the R Skta in Veda.
• The 9 constituent triangles of the Shree Yantra
  vary in size and shape, intersecting to generate
  43 smaller triangles grouped in 5 levels.
• They reflect the entirety of the cosmos and
  express Advaita, or non-duality, when seen
  together.

• The PowerPoint (Bindu) in the centre depicts the
  cosmic centre.
• Two concentric circles of 8 and 16 petals
  surround the triangles, representing the lotus of
  creation and reproductive vital power.
• The whole thing is framed by the broken lines of
  an earth square, which represents a temple with
  four doors that open onto the outside world.

• Symbolism
• The worship of the Sri Yantra is central to the
  Sri Vidya system of Hindu worship.
• It represents the Goddess in the form of Devi
  Tripura Sundari, the natural beauty of the three
  worlds Bhu Loka (Physical Plane, Consciousness
  of the Physical Plane), Bhuvar Loka (Antariksha
  or Intermediate Space, Sub-Consciousness of the
  Prana), and Swar Loka (Svarga or Heaven or
  Super-Consciousness of the Divine Mind).
• The Shree Yantra is the symbol of Hinduism,
  which is based on the Hindu philosophy of the
  Vedas. The Sri Yantra is the object of devotion
  in Sri Vidya.

• The Shree Yantra represents the evolution of the
  multiverse as a result of the natural Divine Will
  of the Godhead Aadi Paraa Shakti.
• The four upward-pointing isosceles triangles
  represent the Goddess's masculine embodiment,
  Brahman, while the five downward-pointing
  triangles symbolize the female embodiment Jagat
  Janani.
• The 12 and 15 sides of the four upward and five
  downward triangles also correspondingly
  symbolize, on the physical plane, the 12 sidereal
  zodiac signs of the Sun and 15 'city's'
  phase-signs of the Moon.

• The Shree Yantra is also known as the nav chakra
  because it can be seen to consist of nine
  concentric layers that radiate outward from the
  Bindu.
• ("Nau" or "Nava" means "nine" in Sanskrit.) Each
  level corresponds to a mudra, a yogini, and a
  specific form of the deity Tripura Sundari along
  with her mantra.
• The various deities residing in the nine levels
  of the Shri Yantra are described in the Devi
  Khadgamala Mantra. These levels, listed from
  outermost to innermost, are
