Try drawing Hindu symbols

In the Hindu tradition, artistic expression is seen as a form of margi, or a "spiritual path" that can help liberate the soul. Hindu tradition has developed many iconic symbols over the centuries, each of which have spiritual meaning based on either Hindu scriptures or cultural traditions.

Here are a few ideas of Hindu symbols you can draw to help you connect spiritually:

The "Om" symbol. This word is often found at the beginning and the end of chapters in the Vedas, the Upanishads, and other Hindu sacred texts, and is believed by Hindus to be the primordial sound of the universe and the most sacred syllable and mantra of Brahman - the ultimate reality of the universe.

A yantra. This is a geometric figure used in Hindu prayer and meditation that represents higher levels of consciousness.

A conch shell. The sound of the conch shell symbolizes the sound "Om", a sacred sound that Hindus believe formed the universe, and as a result many Hindus use the conch during spiritual ceremonies.

A lingam. This is used symbol of the power of fertility and strength. In Hindu tradition it represents divinity in all three aspects – Creator, Sustainer, and Destroyer.

A trident. This is a highly revered symbol in Hindu tradition and represents the three aspects or "gunas" of the divine: creation, protection, and destruction.

A lotus blossom. In Hindu tradition these flowers symbolize water, creation, beauty, and fertility.

A banyan tree. These trees are a Hindu symbol of longevity that in mythology are able to fulfill wishes and other material gains.

A snake. In Hindu tradition, a snake is a symbol of rebirth as it sheds its skin after a time. As a result, snakes are not feared the same way they are in the west. Rather, they are revered.
