Increasing Concentration - The Sri Chakra


When I was in my intermediate college( Adarsha Junior College), our Managing Director, N. Raghava Rao used to give us lectures about NLP( Neuro Linguistic Programming).This was one among those lectures which attracted my attention.

The Srichakra is an ancient Indian symbol or design which consists of a concentric series of triangles cumulating in one singular triangle at the center. There are 43 triangles in all.

The power of concentration can be increased by focusing at the central dot in the Srichakra, which is located in the central triangle of the Srichakra.. It is almost impossible to maintain focus on the dot during the first instance, due to the complex geometry of the yantra. At first it was quite difficult to maintain the focus as my eyes would keep moving away to other parts of the yantra. But with constant effort i have been able to progress further. This activity does not take much time as well.
