Beyond Geometry!

What is considered by Western world as Star of David, is a mandala in Indic Religions - in Hinduism and Jainism, it epitomizes the essential meditative balance between Man & God and in Buddhism, it symbolizes the Origin of Phenomenon (of life/world/God).

 

What will seem like an ordinary hexagram to a non-believer or man of science, is so laden with meaning and philosophy in ancient religions and its interpretors. Isnt it fascinating?:)

 

This one was seen at Monkey Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal.
