The Sri Yantra - or Yantra of Creation - is the most revered of all Hindu yantras. There is a mysterious beauty that arises in the way that 9 diverse triangles can inter link to form a state of perfect balance and harmony - creating 43 smaller triangles that comprise the Sri Yantra.

This very ancient symbol made an interesting appearance in modern times. It happened as a result of a series of experiments in the field of cymatics (the study of the interrelationship between energy and matter.) The sacred Hindu symbol "OM", when correctly intoned into the tonoscope (a devise that transforms sounds into their visual representations on a screen), produces a circle which is then filled in with concentric squares and triangles, finally producing, as the last traces of the 'M' disappear from the screen, the Sri Yantra.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The sound vibration patterns which are generated by the many angles of the triangles of the SRI YANTRA were calculated by using the essential element of the circle around the triangular patterns, PI (3.1416) as the basic unit to which all the other ratios could relate. Therefore 3.1416 became a frequency vibration rate which, when doubled in value 6 times becomes 201.0624 cycles per second (or Hertz, ab. Hz) which is a sound tone equal on the international tuning scale of G+43 cents. Cents are divisions of micro tuning between notes on a piano keyboard. Each cent equals 1/100th division of sharp or flat between notes.

On both tracks, Jeffery Thompson played the completed Sri Yantra through a series of thirteen different octaves (each octave being exactly twice or half of the frequency before or after it). This would correspond to Sri Yantras of different colors (each sound frequency has a color frequency correspondence separated by 40 octaves) and also to different sizes of Sri Yantras - extremely small with a high pitch and extremely large with a deep pitch. This approach makes these sound tracks a powerful tool for reaching deeper states of consciousness. Enjoy!

"I just purchased Sri Yantra and it is profound. I am a long time meditator in the tradition of Vedanta and I can hardly believe what you have accomplished, as these are truly the sounds I hear in my deepest reveries." Sam B., Portland, OR |
