Thanks for posting this! The idea of 'approximates' on this piece seems a bit lazy and half hearted to me...sort of defeats the whole purpose. What about the petals though? Concentric circles, maybe? Or would it be better to divide it into sixteenths and then free hand from the center of each petal? Or just free hand all the way?
"The triangles at 1:47 and 1:49 seem useless. Why did you trace them, then erase them?"
Duh? Those are a hexagram inscribed in a circle. They mark 30 and 60 degrees from the 'equator' of the circle. They are being contrasted to the square inscribed in the circle at that point which marks 45 degrees above and below the 'equator' of the circle. If you think about it, those are indicative of the 'ad triangulum' and 'ad quadratum' forms, as are the Masonic square and compasses.
layout guys just are not satisified with approximations...leaves to much room for error in future work...besides anybody can get "close" by luck...great video
Outstanding. As a student of sacred geometry I appreciate your method. Even though my training originates from the Greeks and not Indian sources, I believe this to be the most beautiful method. Since the Sri Yantra is a division of the whole based on the male/female principal it is a proportional drawing, not a measurement. It is also appropriate to start with the Vesica piscis as that is the birth principle. What can be more male/female than that!
Thank you for posting this. It answered many of my questions on the most precise construction of the Sri Yantra using only a compass and a straight edge.
I am glad if I helped in any way. You may want to know that the large triangles are the same shape as the Great Pyramid cross-section and the large triangle in the Washington DC map as New Hampshire Ave.
The other lines are what I call astronomical lines and relate to the shapes in a Masonic Lodge floor. I have two videos about those that you may want to look at to see how they relate to this video.
This method is very intuitive and uses the basic building blocks of SG such as the Vesica pisces. Also like the idea of using concentric circles to develop the nested triangles which automatically gives us the exact sizes of the triangles inside. Great work!
the purpose of the image is for you to contemplate the shape through meditation. The symbol will become 3 dimensional in your mind. The benefit is learning all the possibilities from within your mind. Actually drawing it with your own hands will bring to you an even deeper meaning if that is your desire.

The 52 degree triangle is used in churches too.

Thank you so much for this. I'm gonna sit down at my drafting table later and see if I can reproduce this from your video

Definitely a much more precise way of doing it. The "approximate" labels didn't sit with me well either.
Thanks for this!
