The word mandala itself simply means "circle" in Sanskrit. Definitions of mandala - any of various geometric designs (usually circular) symbolizing the universe; used chiefly in Hinduism and Buddhism as an aid to meditation type of: design, figure, pattern. Mandala painting is a symbolic picture of the universe, the circle that represents wholeness, totality, infinity, timelessness, and unity. It has been proven to be an effective tool in meditation, stress reduction and self-discovery. While drawing a mandala is quite an intense process and requires precision and self-diligence, you can give it an easy start and begin with coloring in simple mandala designs. When looking at a mandala next time, remind yourself of the spiritual context of mandalas: They are seen as means to put an end to suffering, to reach enlightenment and to attain a correct view of reality. The purpose of the mandala is to demonstrate the sanctity in the universe - and its potential in yourself!
