UTSYA

This year our theme is inspired by YANTRA "a tool for contemplation, concentration and meditation. Any YANTRA consists of simple triangle shapes. The triangle (TRIKONA) is the symbol of SHAKTI, the feminine energy or aspect of Creation. The triangle pointing down represents the YONI, the symbol of the supreme source of the Universe, and when the triangle is pointing upwards it signifies intense spiritual aspiration. The fire is always oriented upwards, thus the correlation with the upward triangle "SHIVA KONA. On the other hand, the downward pointing triangle signifies the element of water which always tends to flown and occupy the lowest possible position. This triangle is known as SHAKTI KONA. The intersection of two geometric forms represents forces that are even more intense, the union of PURUSHA and PRAKRITI or SHIVA and SHAKTI, without which there could be no Creation.
