Mandala Drawing is a therapeutic art.
It has been used by the Buddhist and Hindus as a method of meditation; They incorporated in their drawing a number of religious symbols. The mandala was originally drawn with colored sand, and wiped out at the end because the underlying message of a Mandala is that nothing is permanent. Drawing a basic Mandala is much easier than you would imagine. I remember when drawing a Mandala was a wonderful mystery. I still remember coloring Mandala books and wondering how they drew them, until one day I decided to give it a try. And ever since Mandala drawing became my therapy, my passion and my life. And I decided to turn it into my work and what they say is so true; When you turn your passion into your work, your work becomes your passion.
