Kesar Zems Brass Lalita Tripura Mahalaxmi Yantra (7.5 cm x 7.5 cm x 0.03 cm;Gold)

Lalita tripura mahalaxmi yantra : tripura is the ultimate;primordial shakti;the light of manifestation. vamakeshvaratantrawhat is shri vidya and what relationship does it have to the goddess lalita and to her yantra;the shri yantra? Vidya means knowledge;specifically female knowledge;or the goddess;and in this context relates to her aspect called shri;lalita or tripurasundari whose magical diagram is called the shri yantra;is a red flower;diagram is a flower too.The tantrik tradition views its symbols as having a gross aspect;a subtle aspect;and a supreme aspect. In terms of lalita;the gross form is the image of the goddess with her four arms and so forth;the subtle form is as yantra;and the supreme form is her mantra;all three being the goddess in different aspects. Behind the sometimes colourful symbolism is deep wisdom coupled with practical methods for realising oneself. Lalita loves puja. This term is usually translated as worship. However;this is misleading;as it introduces a duality into a process intended to bring the practitioner (sadhaka or sadhvika) to a non-dual position. There can be various pujas including daily rites;those performed at the four twilights;rites done for specific objects;optional rites done on festival days;or on otherwise auspicious days such as lunar eclipses or the entrance of the sun into a sidereal constellation;rites in assemblies or groups;and rites accomplished with a partner. Subhagodaya;on this site;is a translation which gives the full puja of tripurasundari or lalita.Lalita means she who plays. All creation;manifestation and dissolution is considered to be a play of devi or the goddess. Mahatripurasundari is her name as transcendent beauty of the three cities;a description of the goddess as conqueror of the three cities of the demons;or as the triple city (tripura);but really a metaphor for a human being.This yantra is made on 30 gauge metal sheet.
