Dreamkraft White Metal Meru Shree Yantra On Tortoise, Shree Yantra, Tortoise Meru Yantra for Good Luck & Evil Eye Protection (Golden - 5X7.5 cm )Kachchhap Meru or Krum Prishthiya Sri Yantra is one of the oldest, rarest, and most precious Yantras and is believed to have been created by Adi Guru Dattatreya for the welfare of the world. The name, Sri Yantra, which means mounted at the back of tortoise upwards is also significant because, in Hindu mythology, it is believed that the tortoise lifted the weight of the earth on its back. The tortoise is particularly relevant as it is a very powerful, protected being that can live in either water or land. It is also non-violent and Nature has provided it with a strong cover or jacket to protect it from danger. Shree Yantra designed over the back of Krum or tortoise has eight petals as in the case of the original Shree Yantra where the flower Lotus or Kamal has eight groups with sixty-four Lotus dal. It is also seen that most of the designs of Yantras are based on the growing Lotus flower. Here the question arises as to why Guru Dattatreya chose only the Lotus flower as the base of Yantras. The reason is, Lotus is the only holy flower that originates from the navel (Nabhi) of Lord Vishnu. Where the God of knowledge and creator of Veda i.e 'Lord Brahma' is also believed to be seated. Guru Dattatreya is said to be the representative of the United Trinity i.e. Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Mahesha. Therefore, the force which pushes man to worship the Yantras lies in the strong belief that these Yantras are created by this "Trinity themselves who are the creator, preserver, and destroyer of the world respectively, who also control the Sun, the Moon, Planets and hence, the whole universe itself.
