MAHAKAAL- THE TIME KEEPER
The Sri Yantra is perhaps the greatest Yantra in Hinduism, Representative of , and dedicated to Shakti. It comprises of a base of Nine triangles which go on to make 43 triangles.
This beautiful pic showing the Sri Yantra behind Shiva seems to suggest that Shiva Himself is the greatest knower of Sri Vidya- knowledge of the Devi.
This is apt because it is only Shiva who can know the Devi not only as a Bhakta or Gyani, but also as a personal soul mate, whereas we humans have the limitation of only being a Bhakt or Gyani.
Shiva, who is the eternal consort of Mother Durga, also keeps a Damaru as His sound instrument. The damaru is interestingly shaped like an hourglass- a time keeping device.
Not only can Lord Shiva signal the end of a life and beginning of a new one, not only can he signal the end of an era, but He can verily change the Yuga itself: Such is the power of Shiva’s Dhyana that he can fast forward time itself. May We all pray to Shiva to take us safely to a great new world cycle.
Aum Namah Shivaye.
