Sacred Geometry & the Cosmos
Introduction to Sacred Geometry
Sacred geometry is the study of geometric patterns and shapes that hold spiritual significance. These patterns are found in nature, art, and architecture, and are believed to represent the fundamental principles of the universe. In Sanatan Dharma, sacred geometry is deeply connected to the cosmos and the divine.
Mandala & Yantra
Mandalas and Yantras are sacred geometric designs used in meditation and rituals. Mandalas represent the universe and the interconnectedness of all life, while Yantras are tools for focusing the mind and invoking divine energies. Both are integral to Sanatan Dharma and are used to align with cosmic energies.
Golden Ratio
The Golden Ratio (approximately 1.618) is a mathematical ratio found in nature, art, and architecture. It is considered aesthetically pleasing and is believed to represent harmony and balance. In Sanatan Dharma, the Golden Ratio is seen as a reflection of the divine order of the cosmos.
Flower of Life
The Flower of Life is a sacred geometric pattern consisting of overlapping circles arranged in a hexagonal symmetry. It is found in ancient temples and is believed to contain the blueprint of creation. This pattern symbolizes the interconnectedness of all life and the unity of the cosmos.
Cosmic Patterns
The cosmos is filled with geometric patterns, from the spiral arms of galaxies to the hexagonal storms on Saturn. These patterns reflect the underlying order of the universe and are mirrored in sacred geometry. Understanding these patterns helps us connect with the divine harmony of creation.
Scientific Approach
Modern science recognizes the presence of geometric patterns in nature, from the structure of atoms to the formation of galaxies. Fractals, the Fibonacci sequence, and the Golden Ratio are examples of how sacred geometry manifests in the physical world. This scientific perspective bridges ancient wisdom with contemporary understanding.
