A mandala is a geometric configuration of symbols with a very different application.
It can be understood in two different ways: externally as a visual representation of the universe, or internally as a guide for several practices that take place in many traditions, including meditation.
The word mandala comes from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. Literally mandala means “circle.”
The circle is seen as a magical form, without beginning and end, just as the universe is believed to have no end.
In religions such as Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Shintoism, it is used as a map representing deities, or specially in the case of Shintoism, paradises, kami or actual shrines.
The word mandala conjures up steady breathing and concentration patterns.

. The mandala can also be filled with all kinds of patterns: geometric figures, Buddhist saints, flowers, designs, nature, and more.
Mandalas can be found in stained glass windows, floor paintings, paintings, carved pieces, books, scarves, clothing — any place you can focus on while mediating, praying, thinking, or dreaming.
Next time your heart or mind is racing, find a mandala that calls you, take time to look at it’s beauty, and calm yourself.

India indeed is full of beauty — and history. For a lot longer than my world. And the Sri ranganathaswamy temple is breathtaking! Maybe I should do a blog about India’s temples! What glory!
