Panchmahabhutas

These are the five basic elements which make the whole universe. In a way these individual-element mandalas when together make a universe mandala. The panch mahabutas are fire(Agni), water(Jal), air(Vayu), earth(Prithvi) and space(Avkash). In many south eastern philosophies Space is derived and not elemental, such as Charaka and  Buddhist have only four elements.

These elements can be meditated upon separately, considering their characteristics with our personality. Jal element can be used for a person who needs flexibility and dynamics. Mandalas have always been used in yogic school for mastering self. Art of mastering elements is called Bhuta Shuddhi. Seven Chakra according to the yogic science is associated to this elements. Meditating one by one on this chakra, makes us self aware following is a chart of the characteristics’ relation to chakras.
