The Sri Yantra - Reflection

When asking my beloved Gurudev what I should do to protect myself from lower energies, he suggested that I wear a pendent of a deity.
I decided to wear a pendent of a Sri Yantra, which is simply the energy pattern of a deity.
And so Gurudev blessed the Sri Yantra pendent which I wear every day for the protection offered by his holy blessing and also by the energy pattern created by the nine triangles.
Every Monday evening I perform a ritual in which I bath the pendent. I bathe the pendent in Water, Milk, Honey, Ghee, Yogart and Sugar. I offer fruit and flowers and perfume to it. And at the very end, I sing special, heartfelt prayers to it.
The other day, not so long ago, my friend looked at the pendent and said wow, that’s a lovely OM around your neck. I chuckled and said, “No, that is a Sri Yantra”.
When next in front of a mirror, I noticed that inside the Sri Yantra pendent, the condensation of water (remaining from the Monday ritual) had formed the sign of the OM.
My friend had been correct!
This happens now on a regular basis. The water (remaining from the Monday ritual) dries up inside the pendent. And then, the following week after the next bathing ritual, the sign of the OM reappears when the remaining water condenses inside the pendent.
I have treated this pendent as a living spiritual organism with the love and respect it deserves and in so doing, it revealed itself to me when I least expected it.

Sri Yantra: Meditation

Yantra’s are visual tools that serve in meditation either as centering devices or as symbolic compositions of the energy pattern of a deity.

Using Yantra’s in meditation connects to the Divine energies inside yourself.
