"Truth is nobody’s property;
no race, no individual
can lay any exclusive claim to it.
Truth is the nature of all souls."
Vivekananda
What Is a Mandala?
"A mandala is a geometric configuration of symbols. In various spiritual traditions, mandalas may be employed for focusing attention of practitioners and adepts, as a spiritual guidance tool, for establishing a sacred space and as an aid to meditation and trance induction."
