<strong>M<strong>and</strong>alas</strong>: <strong>Their</strong> <strong>Significance</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Charm</strong><br />

Drawing may have repulsed you in your younger years, especially if you weren’t<br />

that good at it by h<strong>and</strong>. Fortunately, not all forms of art need finesses or talent in<br />

creation. There are certain art forms that can be created by anyone, anywhere,<br />

<strong>and</strong> any time.<br />

One of those art forms would be the m<strong>and</strong>ala.<br />

What is a m<strong>and</strong>ala?<br />

A m<strong>and</strong>ala at its base form is a square with a circle inside. The drawn circle is<br />

done in a way where it touches the 4 sides of the square internally. This provides<br />

sort of a symmetrical frame that can allow for all sorts of creative drawing.<br />

The creative drawings can be symmetrical figures to create a beautiful<br />

decorations. They can also be non-symmetrical figures, where a person or event is<br />

drawn in those frames.<br />

To basically put, a m<strong>and</strong>ala is a prototype shape where a person can express what<br />

they wish with ease.<br />

Use of m<strong>and</strong>alas in religious practices of eastern cultures.<br />

<strong>M<strong>and</strong>alas</strong> were a symbol of wholeness <strong>and</strong> enlightenment by ancient eastern<br />

cultures. It was not uncommon to see religious symbols positioned in a m<strong>and</strong>ala’s<br />

circle. A common example of that would be Buddha drawings in a m<strong>and</strong>ala.


Another example that demonstrates the favoring of m<strong>and</strong>alas in the east would<br />

be swastikas. Swastikas are a symmetrical shape which may seem to have their<br />

origins in the m<strong>and</strong>ala. Just like the m<strong>and</strong>ala, the swastika is seen as a symbol of<br />

wellbeing <strong>and</strong> good fortune.<br />

Translating the use of m<strong>and</strong>alas into modern society.<br />

<strong>M<strong>and</strong>alas</strong> are indeed a strange shape appearing throughout history. It is actually a<br />

shape that inspires a lot of focus for the mind, religiously or psychologically. In<br />

fact, one of the easiest shapes to practice doodling to perfection, would be the<br />

m<strong>and</strong>ala shape.<br />

The space of creativity <strong>and</strong> ease drawing m<strong>and</strong>alas, has allowed many<br />

to adopt m<strong>and</strong>alas as a main art form. Of course, there is a touch added to those<br />

m<strong>and</strong>alas that matches the 21st century. A lot of them seem to have a glittery<br />

<strong>and</strong> techno theme. A lot of them may seem to have a color blend, which may be<br />

difficult to take your eyes off.<br />

The reason for that would be the availability of the graphic technology we have<br />

today. Not only can we draw beautiful m<strong>and</strong>alas in design, but we can provide<br />

sharp coloring to please the eye. Figures like that fit perfectly for those who<br />

appreciate m<strong>and</strong>ala art collections.<br />

Is there a place where m<strong>and</strong>ala art is sold for collection!<br />

Absolutely, <strong>and</strong> it is sold in many forms too! Soul Structures is a website that<br />

provides m<strong>and</strong>ala designs for a variety of easy art lovers!<br />
