Yoga Ganga

Since ancient times, the mandala has been a symbol and embodiment of the Universe. The universe that surrounds us and envelops us, but also the universe within us—our center. When we create a mandala, we create a new reality of the world, as we dream it, as we want it to be. In the circle that surrounds us, we place people, events and states that we are ready to open up to and accept into our lives. By creating, we embark on a journey toward our very selves, toward the deep source of wisdom, love, and healing within us. The mandala can be our guide in finding the answers to our most intimate quests and the dreams of our souls. When we build a mandala, we experience contentment with our lives and joy in everything that surrounds us. According to Buddhists, the mandala is an expression of the cosmic principle that governs the universe, a means to achieve various states of consciousness and a way to draw closer to God. It has the power to restore broken harmony in us and in the world. They believe that even a single look at the mandala can cleanse us of illness and bad habits.
