				Wikipedia ftw 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandala
Though mandalas, their 'deeper' meaning and their spiritual worth are excellently portrayed by this wikipedia article, I'd like to add that they're not only an eastern thing - as proven by the rose-shaped designs in leaded glass found in churches from the middle ages etc.
They were a big influence in Carl Jung's theories, and they're recently being used in psychology as a way of therapy, in finding inner piece by colouring in (hence; not necessarily drawing!) different mandalas.
Not only does this show the 'patient' - in the Vajrayana way - the qualities of the enlightened mind in harmonious relationship with one another, and does it symbolise the path of spiritual development (mandalas have poles, and usually spiral - or otherwise lead - down to a 'path' that has no clear end), it also teaches them to be disciplined, and not try to take 'control' over everything, hence the colouring in as opposed to actually drawing something yourself. It teaches man that not everything is under his control and some things can't be changed or understood, whilst the western individual usually has the tendency to want to take control over things, or at least know how it works completely (one could say; in order to find out how to take control over it).

				Well, I'm not enlightened, and I obviously drew this wallpaper and didn't color it, so it's no mandala 
(At least, since it consists of only 2 colors, yellow and blue, I think you can't call it coloring ...)

				Enlightment..pff 

All quatsch anyway 
Though meh..your drawing just reminded me of a mandala 

 somehow.
Blind guess maybe.
Then again..the Jungian theory on the collective unconscience (or the Platonic world of ideas) would surely suggest that this might be the very same thing, regardless of whether you knew about mandalas in the first place 
What inspired you to draw it? :p

				I was bored to death 
And I already drew stuff like this on a paper during school lessons, just not in this size.
Maybe by being able to call enlightenment Quatsch you're already enlightened

				When one has threaded through ravines so deep and upon mountains so high that no man has ever been there, where the oxygen is rare and the air is cold, where eagles feed us; we look down upon the ordinary man, upon god and upon enlightment 
ps: OMG PROVN!1 IT CAME FROM TEH COLEKTIV SUBCONSIUS!
No really, for someone who would strongly believe in the collective unconscious this would be truly inspiring 
pps: off to bed, so don't expect any more replies from me today
