Charkha
The Spinning wheel that was a symbol of Indian Independence.
Date of Origin: 500-1000 CE
India is known for the finest cotton textiles in the world. Factory-made cloth that resulted in weavers going bankrupt in the early 20th century made the symbol of hand-made cotton thread and the charkha became a matter of national identity and in 1931 when India adopted its first flag – a charkha was placed at its centre.
Charkha was invented in India and empowered women, men, and inspired Mahatma Gandhi who used it to symbolize the Indian freedom movement to gain independence from the rule of the British.
The Charkha laid the foundation for economic independence as well as achieved the freedom to rule and spin ourselves – Move Forward as the Way Forward.
The Charkha is a monument by itself as are the Eiffel Tower of Paris, Rome’s Colosseum, the Tower of London, and the Burj Khalifa of Dubai. The Taj Mahal is not the only representative of India and its Culture.
To summarize the theme of the original spinning wheel, the ADI CHARKHA must be resurrected which is a unique concept, the first of many in the present world.
Sri Yantra also known as Sri Chakra is a sacred geometrical design that originated in India. It comprises 9 interlocking triangles. There are three main forms of the Sri Yantra: 2 Dimensional, Pyramidal and Spherical.
The Sri Yantra which is over 12,000 years is a symbol of Sacred Geometry and is used for meditation. The Pineal Gland (Principal seat of the soul) is also considered the Third Eye. The Sri Yantra connects us to the Universe and is considered to be the symbol of Immense Power.
The Charkha and Chakra Project is a monumental project which involves the heart, soul, and pleasant memories evoking India’s sentiments and guiding it into the future.
