The Star of David is the Perfect Yogic Symbol

[@juanmanuelvasquez5146]

This is incredible. About a year ago I intuitively started to draw this figure of the star of David with a symbol of infinity in the center. I keep drawing it randomly as I feel it is my natural spiritual signature, but I didn’t understand its deeper meaning until now. Im also working in a musical project inspired by whales and mysticism, so I resonate with the idea of being swollen by the divine. This video felt like a huge response of the universe to me. A beautiful synchronicity. Thank you Forrest!

Thanks a lot, dear gurujii. Thanks🌹🙏 💙

[@ForrestKnutson]

Thank you! 🤩🙏🌹

[@amanqz901]

The Star of David is actually a combination of Masculine and feminine. Upward facing triangle represents masculinity and downward facing triangle represents feminine. I'm wearing a pendent of Devi which has Yantra on its back and it is a downward facing triangle with various other things in the yantra

[@zechariah.bendavid]

Why not both??

[@Drippetto]

Of course both, the seal of Solomon (it’s correct Hebrew name). The Hexagram represents joining, of many things, more things than we can even comprehend in the lower dimensions. Not only feminine and masculine.

Truth is a many-sided diamond

[@amanqz901]

@@zechariah.bendavid because Devi means Devine Feminine. She is a celestial Entity.

Love your explanations of the triangles. Practical, no nonsense. Amazing ! Got to read "The Body Of Myth!" Thanks, for information, Forrest!

Thank you for this wonderful video of the mystic symbolism of the Holy Star of David. Om Shalom !

Perseverance, practice, continuous discipline shows us how to achieve the ultimate. Time is an illusion.

Brilliant !! loved it. In music melodies work using the concept "call and response" it's all about that.

[@ForrestKnutson]

Yes! Absolutely! 🤩🙏

[@jannareindel6263]

Thank you Forrestji! Very interesting.

Thank you 🌹 🙏 😊

[@AngelinainHolland]

Hi Forrest, I’ve been following your channel for a while and I’ve been learning a lot from your teachings. I’ve just wanted to say thank you so much for being so kind and for sharing such precious knowledge with others. Soon I’ll be following the trainings on your website and hopefully someday I will be able to ask you for a initiation in the teachings of Kryia Yoga, according to your lineage, from Lahiri Mahasaya. Thank you so much and a big big hug all the way from The Netherlands. May God always bless you and your beautiful family.

[@ForrestKnutson]

Wonderful! Once you finish the first two trainings that are on my website please send me an email at [e-mail] and remind me about your interest in Kriya Yoga. 🤩🌹🙏

[@HMALDANA]

Beautiful image, Forrest! The symbol loving self in me really appreciates this. It somehow helps me be more aware of my practice. Thanks!

[@ForrestKnutson]

So fantastic! I so agree! If we have a language or a symbol or a way of talking about these things and representing them so that we can more easily understand them and hold them for use, then everything becomes easier!

[@markluma98]

Beautiful and Incredible !

[@raamkumar1979]

Wow..... fantastic brother 💕🙏

[@ForrestKnutson]

Thank you Raam! 🌹 🙏

[@ivarhakuse8572]

It’s always uplifting listening to you. I remember reading a similar type of description for the two interlocking triangles by Maharishi Aurobindo. The descent of the Supramental into the practioner.

[@ForrestKnutson]

Beautiful Ivar!

[@intotheoverlap]

I had an obsession with Greek mythology growing up and would get the same books from the library over and over. Excited to revisit those stories through the lens of The Body of Myth!

[@ForrestKnutson]

That's so fantastic. I was the same! 🤩🙏🌹

[@sumitkashyap7868]

Can it's Lucky symbol....for anyone....

[@AkshayChaitanya]

Excellently summarized. Fortunately got this video. Similarity of few symbols is the gift of almighty. It isn't simply a case of copy paste. Same thing comes before a seeker. None takes or steaks from others.

[@manjunathgangadhargangadha4364]

Somthing new and refreshing... Like the explanation... Thank you 🙏

[@ForrestKnutson]

Fantastic! 🙏

Atma namaste sir heartfelt gratitude God bless much love from India 🙏🙏🙏🙏❤🇮🇳

[@ForrestKnutson]

Atma namaste Vimala! Blessings and blissings to you and your loved ones! 🙏🤩🌹

[@brandonhogan3678]

Interesting idea. Reminds me of Advaita Samkhya, except the triangles are reversed. It associates sat, ananda, and chit with the upward facing triangle and sattva, rajas, and tamas with the downward facing triangle. Might want to Google it if you like esoteric symbols.

[@ipurple3694]

Without knowing all this knowledge, i have it inked in my body.

[@dakotahsimonson631]

Om my gosh yes another symbol 🤩

[@pavneetkaur4545]

Thank you for explaining the symbol of the star of David, Forrest. It makes perfect sense when in the notes above you compared it in relation to sri yantra. In a way, all religions are pointing in the same direction. Namaha! 🌹🌹🙏🙏

[@ForrestKnutson]

That's exactly right! 🤩🙏🌹

[@35ahallie]

I recently experienced 3 days of what felt like dying. I asked for relief then I saw an inverted triangle appear in front of my face then floated down to Svadisthana. Now, I focus on the inverted triangle during meditation. I love your explanation of the inverted triangle, I was very curious to know it’s meaning. So grateful for you!! 🙏🙏🙏💜

[@ForrestKnutson]

Beautiful! The vision of the inverted triangle is a very deep perception in the spiritual eye. Well done! I'll put this on my list of videos to make to talk about the inverted triangle. Yogananda mentioned that you could look at each of the sides and see which side was the most prominent or pronounced and that would give you an indication of your balance within the three gunas.

[@fhoniemcphonsen8987]

Neat. Thanks so much.

[@AkshayChaitanya]

Great description. Similarity of symbols isn't a case of copy paste. Yup mediation is a way of seeing life and not limited to a posture in the long run. In the beginning it is taught as a technique like a kid is taught alphabets.

[@jjiteshh]

its true that it is the point of decent and accent, symbolically its true but its not just a symbol but it an actual, star of david is the heart chakra- anahata . it is not just a symbol but it is a real geometry at heart center., its also 3 dimensional in appearance. the pran shakti can reach each of these points and it can spin and make radial geometric pattern at the center and it can also move out wards and become larger. it where your soul rests when its in the body.

[@robbentvelzen6807]

I was under the impression that the mogen david was the 2D depiction of metatrons cube. Like your explanation too however. It makes sense and connects some of the dots. By the way, thank you for last weeks video. Started working on it rightaway and ran into a blockade, wich did not surprise me. The excersise works but needs more time. And as a central european I can confirm that I've been places where you can almost touch that heritage, and in some cases literally touch. Don't indigenous americans have a strong heritage?

[@varenyaaum]

Wow Forrest ji! I have seen that if I indulge in eating unhealthy food due to temptation, my meditation suffers. But if I resist the thought of eating desired unhelathy food then also it keeps bothering . So what's the solution? Both indulgence and saying no to temptation don't work. Sorry it might be a foolish question but I can't figure it out. 🙏Would love to hear you talking about this topic.

[@ForrestKnutson]

I will often try to find a healthy alternative so then I can forget about the craving of food. It also helps if you increase the amount of nutrition that you are taking as this supplies the body what it is truly craving vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. 🙏

[@OuilmaEnyaGypsey]

Triangle upwards is male holy trine. Downwards is a female holy trine. As above, so below. Astrological birth chart configuration.

[@bricktea3645]

Can u expand upon your experience on aikido and what your teacher taught you about violence and peace and your thoughts on it? It's just your training to be a more understanding person but self defense isn't roses,you have to take action first and have a merciless mindset.

[@ForrestKnutson]

That sounds like an interesting subject for everyone. I'll put it on my list of videos to make. 🤩🙏

[@SharkFishSF]

People who worship Aurobindo/The mother use this symbol....

[@kingklank6732]

The star of David is a merkabah.

[@voidreap3366]

Is not really what people think, this symbol refers to Saturn in Astrology, research its implications and question why we see it everywhere.

[@OuilmaEnyaGypsey]

Hexagram formed 31st July 1966. Moon at 0°Capricorn. I've seen quite a few in birth charts, but yeah Capricorn, saturn...metatrons Cube...of spiritual vibrations

Dawid NEVER had a star, ...but he did profess to have a REAL shield >>> Psalms 3:3 & Psalms 5:12 & Psalms 18:35 & Psalms 28:7 & Psalms 33:20 ( but view whole chapter ) & Psalms 35:2 & Psalms 59:11 & Psalms 84:9 -11 & Psalms 115:10-11 & Psalms 119:114 & Psalms 144:2, .....all this is scripture, - anything else is just pathetic CONJECTURE! Amos 5:26 shows the pagan symbol ✡people couldn't let go of back then and can't let go of today! ....nuff said

[@fredreygan]

Sir, your Insight is priceless to Seekers but when you say stuff like "Star of David is a perfect Yogic Symbol" , you are putting the lives in danger of Jews living in India who may be held responsible for stealing a Yogic symbol. India is not the same, today there is call for Muslim genocide, demolition of Goa churches and demonization of all minorities. You don't need to rely on such references. After all Vedic wisdom was not born or created in India.

[@ForrestKnutson]

Thank you for bringing that to my intention. So tragic.
