  3. What is a madala? • The word "mandala" is from the classical Indian language of Sanskrit. • Loosely translated to mean ‘circle,’a mandala is far more than a simple shape. • Mandalas are broadly defined as a geometric design that symbolizes the universe. • It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a model for the organizational structure of life itself--a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds.”

  4. What is a symbol? • Identify various symbols in the mandala shown for the “Think, Pair, Share.” • What do you think each of these symbols represent?
