Sri
Yantra
A UNIVERSAL and SACRED SYMBOL TRANSLATED
INTO SOUND for MEDITATION, CHAKRA BALANCING, RELAXATION and WELLNESS.
Presented at the Deepak Chopra, M.D. and David Simon, M.D.'s
seminar, " The Seduction of Spirit".
The Sri Yantra - or Yantra of Creation
- is the most revered of all Hindu yantras. There is a mysterious beauty
that arises in the way that 9 diverse triangles can interlink to form a
state of perfect balance and harmony - creating 43 smaller triangles that
comprise the Sri Yantra.
This very ancient symbol made an interesting appearance in modern
times. It happened as a result of a series of experiments in the field
of cymatics (the study of the interrelationship between energy and matter.)
The sacred Hindu symble "OM", when correctly intoned into the
tonoscope (a devise that transforms sounds into their visual representations
on a screen), produces a circle which is then filled in with concentric
squares and triangles, finally producing, as the last traces of the 'M'
disappear from the screen, the Sri Yantra.
The sound vibration patterns which are generated by the many angles
of the triangles of the SRI YANTRA were calculated by using the essential
element of the circle around the triangular patterns, PI (3.1416) as the
basic unit to which all the other ratios could relate. Therefore 3.1416
became a frequency vibration rate which, when doubled in value 6 times
becomes 201.0624 cycles per second (or Hertz, ab. Hz) which is a sound
tone equal on the international tuning scale of G+43 cents. Cents are divisions
of microtuning between notes on a piano keyboard. Each cent equals 1/100th
division of sharp or flat between notes.
Both on side A and side B, I played the completed Sri Yantra
through a series of thirteen different octaves (each octave being exactly
twice or half of the frequency before or after it). This would correspond
to Sri Yantras of different colors (each sound
frequency has a color frequency correspondence separated by 40 octaves)
and also to different sizes of Sri Yantras -
extremely small with a high pitch and extremely large with a deep pitch.
This approach makes these sound tracks a powerful tool for reaching deeper
states of conciousness.
Enjoy!
Sincerely, Dr Jeffrey Thompson.
"I just purchased Sri Yantra and
it is profound. I am a long time meditator in the tradition of Vedanta
and I can hardly believe what you have accomplished, as these are truly
the sounds I hear in my deepest reveries." Sam B., Portland, OR.
