Mandala

In Indian tradition, time and space are considered cyclic, with neither a beginning nor an end. One rotation of the great wheel of time is divided into four ages (yugs): Satya Yug, Treta Yug, Dwapara Yug and Kali Yug. It is believed that Lord Vishnu ("the preserver") through his various avatars keeps this cycle moving.

The Mandala ("circle" in Sanskrit) is a symbolic representation of 'wholeness' and the connections between the body, the mind and the cosmos. It also serves as a spiritual tool that can be used for Dhyan (meditation), helping an individual attain a higher state of being. A Mandala can have a number of different compositions and symbols, depending on its function. However, it is always symmetrical, symbolising the cosmic balance.

The Mandala motif can be seen in various sizes, forms and colours in the Centre. The motif balances visual elements, symbolising unity and harmony.
