Ashram West Store

The Ashram West Store features merchandise displaying the Ashram West logo, Gay Tantra logo, and photos of Bear Chest Contest winners or the photo art of Br. William. The meaning of the Ashram West logo is as follows: In the center is the Sanskrit syllable OM, an ancient Hindu word for the divine Self. The interlocked triangles are a Tantric symbol that represents the integration of spirit and matter and of male and female. The circle and square both represent spiritual wholeness as they manifest in the mind and in the outer world respectively. The message is that one may experience the divine Self and manifest spiritual wholeness by integrating spirit and matter, male and female within oneself and in the world.
