Geometric Yantra with Temple Flags
A geometric yantra flanked by temple flags that draws a sacred boundary and is said to bring all-round protection and blessing.
✦Meaning & Background
In the Sak Yant tradition the geometric yantra represents an enclosed, consecrated space in which the wearer is protected. The temple flags on either side evoke offerings made at the temple and the raising of the spirit, while the hanging pennant and the Khom syllables hold the blessing of the teachers. Together they form a sacred boundary that keeps harm out and draws good fortune in.
✦More about this design
This Yantra framed by temple flags is one of the most blessing-rich Sak Yant designs in our studio in Breda. The geometric yantra draws a sacred boundary and is traditionally worn for all-round protection, peace of mind and the blessing of the temple. The flanking flags and the hanging pennant evoke offering and the raising of the spirit, while the Khom script holds the power of the gatha. Every Sak Yant here is applied by hand using the handpoke technique, line by line with a single needle, exactly as tradition prescribes. This is what gives this temple yantra design its precise symmetry and its living, consecrated character. Visit our studio next to the Grote Kerk in Breda for advice on placement, size and meaning.
