SOLID GOLDEN KALACHAKRA GAU STERLING SILVER PENDANT

Quick Overview

A solid sterling silver amulet box (gau) with the kalichakra symbol on the outside inscribed by gold. Kalachakra, varyingly known as Wheel of Time or Circle of Time is both a Buddhist Tantric doctrine and its emblem.

The Kalachakra philosophy is often depicted as a seven syllabic monogram in the stylized Sanskrit Lantsa script that was typically used for writing or engraving mantras. Above the syllables are a crescent moon, a sphere and a curved shape, making ten elements in all – this “seed syllable” (in Tibetan, “mam bcu dbang Idan”) is also known as the Tenfold Powerful One. The symbol is encircled by a ring of fire. To its left and right are two characters, E and VAM, standing respectively for nothingness and bliss.

The seed syllable is studied at three levels – the Outer Kalachakra represents the universe as manifested in the ten planets and elements, the Inner Kalachakra refers to channels and centers of subtle energies within us. Finally, the Alternative Kalachakra consists of initiations and the practices leading to enlightenment.
