ZENTANGLE IS A MIND EXPLORING EXERCISE TO DEVELOP INTUITION.
Zentangle is a free drawing that consist of shapes with recurring patterns from a combination of POINTS ; CURVES ; LINES and CIRCLES.
Zentangle is very similar to Indian Mandala.
The only difference is that MANDALA uses CIRCLES ; TRIANGLES AND OTHER COMPLEX POLYGONS.

There is a PATTERN that exist in the UNIVERSE.
ORDER ; DISORDER AND REORDER ARE THE 3 MAIN PATTERNS OF THE UNIVERSE.
They are like LINES ; POINTS AND CURVES AS PER ZENTANGLE (AND)
CIRCLES ; TRIANGLES AND OTHER COMPLEX POLYGONS AS PER MANDALA.
You can detect this PATTERN at a MACRO LEVEL ; MICRO LEVEL or even at PERSONAL LEVEL.
In your personal life you may experience ORDER for a while.
Then suddenly comes DISORDER - Ex. UNEMPLOYMENT.
DISORDER is when outside materialistic people challenge that ORDER. They want you to get out of the system to fulfill their material desires.
Since people fear Financial Instability ; Career Instability ; Loan Burden ; Marriage Delay's etc. they try to avoid the DISORDER by GIVING UP TRUTH. Such people stick to the ORDER of life without exploring DISORDER AND REORDER. On such a path UNIVERSE WILL NOT PROTECT YOU.
If you are RESILIENT and decide to experience DISORDER ; You will be able to REORDER LIFE and Universe will help you REORDER your life because you are EXACTLY following the PATTERN of the UNIVERSE.
DISORDER is the REALITY OF LIFE and we must learn to EMBRACE IT ; once we face FEARS universe will start providing you with a SENSE OF SECURITY that no INSURANCE PLAN OR A BANK SAVING OR A SPOUSE CAN PROVIDE YOU WITH.
Once you follow the patterns of the UNIVERSE (ORDER ; DISORDER ; REORDER ) life will become a MAGIC.
YOU ARE NOW ALIGNED WITH THE UNIVERSE.
It is the same principle that is applied in NATYA VEDA.
Take a look at the Bharatanatyam Margam Table from Natya Veda. The direction of growth is very important for our PURPOSE IN LIFE as it is the INSTINCT FOR SUBLIMATION AND TRANSCENDENCE that gives TRUE FIBER AND CHARACTER either in LIFE OR IN CLASSICAL DANCE.
Items 6/7/8 represents entry into Garba Griha - Sanctum Sanctorum.
Garba Griha inside the Hindu temple is a very DARK CHAMBER without any electricity.
The main deity is located inside the dark chamber.
Human beings have the tendency to avoid the DISORDER ; But disorder is the DARK CHAMBER.
DISORDER = DARK CHAMBER = GARBA GRIHA.
This inner most chamber is shrouded in TOTAL DARKNESS and the progression into the DARK CHAMBER is a ritual movement where the devotee go through a dynamic experience of dark spaces ; by the time the devotee reaches the darkest chamber his / her EYES are accustomed to DARKNESS.
Career Instability ; Financial Instability ; Marriage - WORLDLY THOUGHTS DOES NOT EXIST ANYMORE. The LIGHT you see in the DARK CHAMBER will help you COMPREHEND EVERYTHING that is inside the DARKNESS.
CLARITY IS THUS OBTAINED.
There are 10 types of Mandalas in NATYA VEDA and they are borrowed from RIG VEDA.
The first 2 items of Bharatanatyam (ALARIPPU AND JATISWARAM) are pure NRITTA ITEMS that extensively uses only MANDALAS to create PATTERNS IN SPACE.
You make CIRCLE ; TRIANGLE ; AND OTHER COMPLEX POLYGONS in space using your body. I have merged 3 videos and put together all the 7 Jatiswarams in one video.
All the 10 MANDALAS have been used in 7 Jatiswarams.
Jatiswaram helps you align with the PATTERNS OF THE UNIVERSE.
