Fractals of Reality: Living the Śrīcakra - Paperback

by Kavitha Chinnaiyan (Author)

The Śrīcakra is ubiquitous in modern culture, and found everywhere, from store fronts and yoga studios to logos and jewelry. Yet, this ancient and celebrated symbol remains a mystery.

The Śrīcakra is an extraordinary map of the macrocosm that flawlessly reflects the microcosm. In this book, the Śrīcakra is examined in a practical fashion as it applies to the microcosm - the body and mind that are readily available for observation and transmutation. The practice of the Śrīcakra reveals its elements within the body-mind, which becomes the yantra (instrument) enlivened by the mantra (sacred sound) of the breath. No aspect of existence is excluded in the practice of the Śrīcakra, which contains and projects the infinite fractals of Reality. The esoteric and the mundane come together within its lines and curves to provide the perfect map of the enlightened life.

This book is the modern description of the Śrīcakra with an emphasis on the practical application of its principles even while adhering to the tradition of Śrīvidyā and Śākta tantra.
