Kalachakra is a Sanskrit word made up of two terms; Kala meaning “Time” and chakra meaning “Cycle”, literally translated into English as “Cycle of Time”. But what does that actually mean? To answer this question, we will need to look at Kalachakra from multiple dimensions or levels of understanding.
Keeping Kalachakra mandala at home, office or in a meditation area of a home brings out the pure positive energy. Meditating or performing yoga sow the positive seeds upon the mind stream of the observer which will ripen beneficially in the future in all spiritual, physical and emotional level.
The floors of the palace depicted in the Kalachakra Mandala, from the ground up, represent:

- Enlightened great bliss
Arrayed around the palace are four elemental rings and two outer rings. From the inside out they are:

- Water
