I was sitting in the Chicago airport, on a rather long layover, when a out of nowhere, a stranger approached me and said “Hi. I was wondering what you are working on…because I work in math. I think I can help you.” I immediately thought- “hey- what are the odds?” Those word rolled around in my head, over and over, as I looked down at the sketchbook, ruler and protractor sitting on my lap. I looked up at this masked stranger and said “REALLY? you work in math? Really! have I
been waiting for you.” He didn’t get it until I showed him the picture of Sri Yantra 
I had been working on. Sri Yantra is a notoriously complex geometric design. It consists of nine interlacing triangles surrounding a center point called a bindi. It is the mother of all other yantras. He had never seen a sri yantra before- but he immediately recognized it as sacred geometry- he said he thought he could help me figure it out. We worked on it for over an hour- but
