⚜️Shatkona symbolism in Sanatan and around the world⚜️

Two overlaid equilateral triangles form a six-pointed star. The symbolism of the 6 pointed Star is a powerful Yantra symbol known as “The Shatkona”.
It's a symbol used in Hindu yantra that represents the union of both the masculine & feminine form.
More specifically it represents Purusha (the supreme being) & Prakriti (mother nature or causal matter).This sacred symbol is associated with Shiva,Shakti and Murugan (Kartikeya).
It appears on synagogues, Jewish tombstones, and the flag of the State of Israel.
What maybe the possible reason behind this symbol, which is being accepted by different communities of different countries around the world ??
The star was almost universally adopted by Jews in the 19th-century as a striking and simple emblem of Judaism in imitation of the cross of Christianity.
The yellow badge that Jews were forced to wear in Nazi-occupied Europe invested the Star of David with a symbolism indicating martyrdom and heroism.
