Note:(Yantra is a geometrical diagram, or any object, used as an aid to meditation in tantric worship.)
The meaning of Sri Chakra:
Sri Yantra means “sacred tool” and it can be said that it’s the energetic outline of creation. It is indeed a tool of meditation, as using it can reveal the secrets of the Universe and Creation. If used regularly in meditation, it can reveal the deep truths that are hidden from the rest of the humanity.
If you focus on the Yantra long enough, the mental chatter will eventually stop, and you’ll gain awareness of the subtle natural laws. Sri Yantra is the best tool to gain mental focus and lengthen your attention span.
Sri Yantra is the symbol of cosmic perfection, so focusing on it brings more beauty and harmony into your inner and outer worlds. It’s a visual symbol of a primordial sound OM.
The centre point is the very start of Maya. It’s the explosion of God into being. This smallest dot sustains the Maya, and if it would move even slightly to any direction, the whole reality would collapse.

What Sri Yantra symbolizes
The dot in the centre represents the big bang as we call it, the point from which the entire creation sprang. It also represents the unity that underlies all the diversity we see in the Universe. The dot is the element of ether in the Yantra.
The triangles represent male and female energies whose interaction sustains the Maya (illusion). Maya dances in forms and shapes as long as it’s observed, and once the spiritual seeker decides to turn the gaze inwards, Maya releases her from the grasp.
The downward-pointing triangles are female and represent the water element. The upward pointing ones are male, and represent the fire element.
The circle enclosing triangles represents the cycles of our existence, as well as time, which, like a circle, has no beginning or end.
The lotus petals represent the unfolding of knowledge as well as the heart chakra. When the heart chakra opens, we naturally become open to higher truths, and our knowledge blossoms like the lotus petal. Lotus represents all five elements of the universe: Ether, Air, Water, Fire and Earth.
The square represents our physical world and therefore is of the element of Earth. Each square wall has an opening, which is a portal into the Inner World, leading you to the very cause of creation – the central point, called ‘bindu’ in Hinduism. There are four T-shaped portals in total, as you can see in the image.
