Everyone who reads Sthapati knows already that I don’t consider myself much of a “bhakt,” although I readily acknowledge the value it brings to one’s spirituality and I can often recognize the influence of the bhakti marg in my life.
Sporadically, I’ll feel creative AND devotional and will attempt to marry the two modes until they are sufficed in my system. What you see below is a progression of this kind of expression. I located some images online of the yantra ( sacred geometry ) associated with my ishtadevata and then began sketching. I took photos with my phone along the way and of the final product.
I hope you enjoy!
Aum Shri Mahaganeshaya Namaha
Aum Shanti
It’s really quite lovely, this. Interestingly I was planning to research and post on one of the shastras which expounds “sacred architecture” which surely draws off of this geometry as its source.
