Why did we chose the word mandala?
The word mandala in Sanskrit literally means center and circle. It conveys the notion that any center is tied to its circumference and any circumference is always determined by its center. Together they represent wholeness. The center and the outer appear separate, yet one does not exist without the other. The center represents the eternal now. The circumference reflects its infinite potential as well as its boundaries. …and Mark creates mandalas.
