    Location of Devis in Sri Chakra.

     

    Five downward pointing triangles representing Devi intersect with four upward pointing triangles representing Siva, forming 43 triangles including the central triangle.

    From the five Shakti triangles comes creation and from the four Shiva triangles comes the dissolution. The union of five Shaktis and four Fires causes the chakra of creation to evolve.

    At the centre of the bindu of the Shri Yantra is Kamakala, which has three bindus. One is red, one is white and one is mixed. The red bindu is Kurukulla the Female form, the white bindu is Varahi the Male form, and the mixed bindu is the union of Shiva & Shakti – the individual as the potential Shri Cakra. Varahi, the father-form, gives four dhatus to the child and Kurukulla, the mother-form, gives five dhatus to the child. Theses represent the nine dhatus of the human body.

    Varahi’s four fires are the 12 (4 x 3) sun Kalas, the 12 Zodiac constellations. Kurukulla’s five triangles are the 15 (5 x 3) Kalas of the moon, 15 lunar Tithis.

    These nine triangles also represent the nine stages of growth of the human child in the womb.Surrounding the 43 triangles formed by the intersection of the nine triangles is the 16 petals circle. Surrounding the 16 petal circle is an 8 petal circle. After that the 3 lines and at the outermost part of the Sriyantra there are 3 lines called the Bhupura.

     

    The Form of the Goddess is Kanchi Kamakshi.

     

    *The Poojas to be performed for the other Devatas, Ganesha, Surya, Shiva,  Vishnu and Devi are provided ina separate post.

     

    (Citation . http://www.astrojyoti.com/scpooja3.htm

     

    Perform Angannyasa and karanyasa as in Lalitha Sahasranama or simply recite the following Mantra.

     

    “Avahanam najanami, najanami visarjanam,
    poojamchaiva najanamani kshamaswa Maheswari.
    Yatkrutam yatkarishyami tathsarvam twamarpanam,
    poojam poorna phalam kuru”.

     

    The tip of the top triangle must be pointing at you, at the bottom right hand side corner of the Shreechakra resides Lord Ganesha.

    The bottom left hand side corner resides Lord Surya.

    The top left side corner resides Lord Vishnu and the top right corner of the Shreechakra resides Lord Shiva.

    They must be worshipped before starting the Pooja of the Nava-Avaranas.

  • Navavarana Pooja Lalitha Tripura Sundari Principle

    The Navarana Pooja for Devi is considered  as Supreme in the worship of Lalitha Devi, Tripura Sundari.

     

    This forms a part of Tantra Shastra of Hinduism.

     

    Avarana means concealment,masking, obstruction.

     

    The attempt to realize self is  is paved the path of Obstructions.

     

    This lies with the individuals mind and ego.

     

     

    Lalitha Tripurasundari image.image
    Lalitha Tripurasundari

     

    Losing one’s ego and the impediments of the mind clears the way for realization, first the Saguna Brahma,Reality of Name and Form.

     

    Once the level is reached, one is automatically guided to the Ultimate Reality, the Nirguna Brahman.

     

    The Avaranas of are of two kinds.

     

    1.Klesa Avarana.

    Klesa means confusion, unable to decide.

    Sinful desires, Lust,hankering after Wealth, lead to misery.

    These obstruct the individual in spiritual path.

    The removal of these obstacles,Klesaprahan is essential.( Gaudapadakarika)

    Kama, Krodha, Lobha, Madha, Mathsarya, Dvesha, Moha, Maana are some of the Klesas.

     

    The other in Jneya Avarana.

    Here the object of worship is seen as different from the subject, from the one who is worshiping.

    The merging of the worshiper and the worshiped is Realization.

     

    There are procedures laid down in the Tantra Shastras for the removal of the Avaranas.

     

    A form of Pooja performed to Goddess Lalitha Devi, Tripura Sundari is called the Navarana Pooja.

     

    This Pooja is performed for the Sri Chakra.

     

    It is essential to understand the construction of Ari Yantra before starting the Pooja.

     

    Five downward pointing triangles representing Devi intersect with four upward pointing triangles representing Siva, forming 43 triangles including the central triangle.

     

    From the five Shakti triangles comes creation and from the four Shiva triangles comes the dissolution.

     

    The union of five Shaktis and four Fires causes the chakra of creation to evolve.

     

    At the centre of the bindu of the Shri Yantra is Kamakala.

     

    It has three bindus. One is red, one is white and one is mixed.

     

    The red bindu is Kurukulla the Female form, the white bindu is Varahi the Male form, and the mixed bindu is the union of Shiva & Shakti – the individual as the potential Shri Cakra. Varahi, the father-form, gives four dhatus to the child and Kurukulla, the mother-form, gives five dhatus to the child. Theses represent the nine dhatus of the human body.

     

    Varahi’s four fires are the 12 (4 x 3) sun Kalasa, the 12 Zodiac constellations. Kurukulla’s five triangles are the 15 (5 x 3) Kalas of the moon, 15 lunar Tithis.

     

    These nine triangles also represent the nine stages of growth of the human child in the womb.

     

     

    Surrounding the 43 triangles formed by the intersection of the nine triangles is the 16 petals circle.

     

    Surrounding the 16 petal circle is an 8 petal circle.

     

    After that the 3 lines and at the outermost part of the Sriyantra there are 3 lines called the Bhupura.

     

    The 43 triangles constitute the six inner sections called Avaranas, the two circles of petals are two more avaranas and the Bhupura of 3 lines is the last Avarana.

     

    These 9 Avaranas of the Sri Yantra have various presiding Devis.

    They are the Devi’s Parivar (retinue) of total 108. In the Srichakra pooja they are systematically worshipped one by one with their names and mantras.

     

    The presiding Deity of Srichakra, Devi, is Known as Lalita Tripura Sundari.

     

    The form of Devi Kamakshi of Kancheepuram is the closest resemblance of the Devi as described in the scriptures.

     

    Lalita means The One Who Plays.

     

    All creation, manifestation and dissolution is considered to be a play of Devi.

     

    Tri-Pura means the three worlds and Sundari means beauty.

     

    She is the transcendent beauty of the three worlds.

     

    She is the ruler of the the three gunas of Satva, Rajas and Tamas; and sun, moon and fire – the zodiac and the planets, and therefore Time itself;

    She is also “tripura” as Will (Iccha), Knowledge (Jnana) and Action (Kriya).

     

    She is also “tripura” as intellect, feelings & physical sensation; and She is triple as the three states of the soul – awakening, dreaming and -sleeping states.

     

    Her five triangles also represent the Pancha Tatwas and the Pancha Bhootas. ( ”Panchami pancha bhuteshi pancha sankhyopacharini “. Lalitha Sahasranama)

     

    Lalita holds five flowery arrows, noose, goad and bow. The noose represents attachment, the goad represents repulsion, the sugarcane bow represents the mind and the flowery arrows are the five sense objects.

    Legend has it that Goddess Uma’s right foot fell during Her Dance competition with Lord Shiva.

    The temple in Tripura, North East of India, dedicated to Tripurasundari is also one of the SakthiPeetas, where Sati‘s right foot fell.

    There are two identical images of the same deity inside the temple.

    They are known as Tripura Sundari (5 feet high) and Chhotima (2 feet high) in Tripura.

    The idol of Maa Kali is worshiped at the temple of Tripura Sundari in the form of ‘Soroshi’.

    One is made of kasti stone which is reddish black in colour.

    It is believed that the idol was Chhotima was carried by king in battlefield.

     

     

    This temple is also known as Kurma Pitha because it the temple premises resembles kurma i.e. tortoise.

     

    Goddess Parvati (also spelt as Partvathi) is worshipped here as Tripurasundari, Tripureshwari and “Soroshi” (a local variation of the name).

    The temple is a small, square edifice, measuring just 24 square feet (7 square metres) at the base with a height of 75 feet (24m approximately). The structure of the shrine resembles that of a tortoise, with a roof shaped like the humped back of a tortoise.

    For this reason, the shrine is also known as “Koorma Peetha” (Koorma meaning Tortoise).

    As in other typical Hindu shrines, stalls along the approach road sell flowers and baskets of offerings that visitors can buy and take up to be offered to Tripura Sundari and returned as Prasadam.

    A specialty here is the sweet, brown, condensed milk Pedas that devotees carry back from the temple, to be distributed among family and friends back home.

    The red hibiscus flower is also prized as an offering.

  • Devi’s 51 Alphabets 15 Syllables Details in Hindi Telugu

    In the Tantra Shastra worship of Devi, Sanskrit letters are hidden as it were in the Sri Chakra and  Lalitha (She Who Plays) Sahasranama and Soundaryalahari of Adi Shankaracharya.

    The Vedas hide the letters and Mahamantras in the Texts dedicated to the Deity.

    Devi Worship, Matrikas
    The Matrikas.Image source: Wiki.

    Lord Rudra’s Mahamantra ‘Nama Svayacha, Sivadharaya cha’ is placed in the Eighth chapter (anuvakam) of the Sri Rudram .

    The Soundaryalahari contains the 51 Aksharas hidden in 51 slokas.

    It may be noted that the first portion of the SoundaryaLahari( was given by Lord Ganesha and the balance was composed by Adi Shankaracharya.

    Lalitha Sahasranama contains these Aksharas, Alphabets in them.

    Devi is described as ‘Mathruka Varna Roopini’ Lalitha Sahasranama.

    Mantrathmika-Lalitha Sahasranama.

    Tantra Roopa Manon mayee-Lalitha Sahsranama

    Sarva Mantrathmike, Sarva Yantrathmike0Shyamala Dandakam by Kalidasa.Lalita is also known as Matrika Devi, the Goddess of the Letters of the Alphabet. In Sanskrit there are 36 consonants and 15 vowels. In some arrangements of Her yantra these letters are to be found inscribed in the various triangles and petals of Shri Yantra. The combination of the 15 Vowels (the 15 Nityas) and the consonants (the 36 Tattvas) produces all sound, all mantra, all vibration, all word, and all music.

    There are 8 letter groups in the Sanskrit alphabet. These 8 groups are personified as the 8 Little Mothers, worshipped all over India. The 9th group is Lalita Herself. She is beyond language and description. It is little realised ‘that gods and goddesses do not have names, but instead are described. “She who Plays” (Lalita) is not the name of the red goddess, but merely one of Her characteristics. She is beyond Name and Form.

    In the first 12 verses (shlokas) of the Vamakeshvara Tantra is given a hymn to the Goddess as the Mother of the Letters:

    1. I bow to the Goddess made of mantra, who consists of the (51) Ganeshas, the (9) Planets, the (27) Lunar Constellations, the (6) Yoginis, the (12) Signs of the Zodiac, and the (51) Matrika-Seats.

    2. I bow to the great Matrika Devi, the Supreme Lady, who in Time is both a fraction of a second and the end of the Universe, the Destroyer and the Creatrix of Time.

    3. Who is the whole perfect measure of the letters of the alphabet, worshipped by the Sun, Garuda, the Moon, the God of Love, by Lord Shankar, the God of Fire, and by Vishnu.

    4. I worship the Devi of all Devis, the great Shri Siddha Matrika, whose letters of the alphabet, like moonlight, adorn the three worlds.

    5. Who is the great thread of the letters of the alphabet, from which is woven the three worlds, who extends from the top of the head to the base of the spine. I worship you, 0 Siddha Matrika.

    6. Who is made up of the 11 adharas (in the body), the universe-seed, the source of the primordial triangle. From the top of the head to the base of the spine you are the Origin of the World.

    7. Who is the aggregate of the 8 letter-groups A-Ka-Ca-Ta-Ta-Pa-Ya-Sa, the primordial Source and Many Rayed Dweller in the centre of the heart.

    8. Unfolder of the letter I, essence of essences, Most Ultimate One, I bow to you Great Devi, form of the Utmost Bliss.

    9. The primordial One, of whom other gods and goddesses have no inkling. Who knows what and from where She creates? O Producer of Form and Formlessness!

    10. I worship You, the imperishable letter-form from A to Ksha, O Devi, Supremely Auspicious Being. You are the Expansion Mirror, the Maya of the 36 Tattvas.

    11. The aggregate of the eight groups of letters, in whom the eight Little Mothers reside, I worship You, Great Lady of the eight siddhis which originate from the eight letter groups.

    12. Dwelling at the Auspicious Sacred Seats (Pithas) of Kamarupa, Purnagiri and Jalandhara, I bow to You Great Shree Tripura, the fourfold abode of the Elements.

    Syllables of Vidya.

    Vidya is feminine of mantra. Lalita has various forms of mantra, the most popular seeming to be the vidya of 15 syllables which runs Ka E I La Hrim, Ha Sa Ka Ha La Hrim, Sa Ka La Hrim. This is a mantra with three sections which correspond to Moon, Sun and Fire. There is said to be a secret 16th syllable which is the Goddess Herself. This vidya is called Kadi (Ka etc.) because of its initial letter. The Kadi doctrine deals with involution of the yantra, the Hadi vidya with evolution. These 15 syllables correspond to the 15 Kalas of the Moon.

    If you refer to the pages on Shri Puja and the Bhavana Upanishad as well as the Shri Yantra figure above and the page on the Nine Mandalas of the Shri Yantra, this text becomes much easier to follow..

    The Aksharas of the Devi.

    Panchasat (50) Shakti peethas resemble Panchast (50) matrikas (Sanskrit letters).

    I am unable to find these.

    Will some one contribute?

    Ashtadasa (18) Shakti peethas resemble few important letters out of 50:
    a,i,u,am,ah,ka,ca,Ta,ta,pa,nga,nja,Na,na,ma,ya,sa,ksha.

    Another logic for 18 Shakti peethas:
    This is based on Sanskrit pronounciation:
    (udatta+anudatta+swarita)*(hraswa+deergha+pluta)*(anunasika+niranunasika) [3*3*2] =18

    3 1/2 Shakti peethas resemble the parts of devine OM:
    A,U,M being the three and mmm… (ardha matra) being half.

    Sri Chakra mantra to follow.

    టంట్రా శాస్త్రంలో దేవి ఆరాధన చేపట్టి, సంస్కృత అక్షరాలు శ్రీ యంత్రలో మాకు కనిపించబడుతుంది. ఆది శంకరాచార్య ద్వారా లేదా, మంత్రుల భాషను మంచిగా చర్చించడం ద్వారా వేదాలు దేవతా కోసము అది మంత్రాలు మరియు మహామంత్రాలని మొత్తం చూపించబడుతాయి.

    శ్రీ రుద్ర మహమంత్ర ‘నామ స్వయాచం, శివధారయా చ’ శ్రీ రుద్రంలో ఎనిమా అధ్యాయం (అనువాకం) లో ఉండేది. సౌందర్యలాహరిలో 51 అక్షరాలు మరియు 51 స్లోకాల లో దుంపిలో ఉంచుకున్నాయి.

    లలిత సహస్రనామంలో ఈ అక్షరాలు, వర్ణమాలలు అందిస్తాయి. దేవిని ‘మాతృక వర్ణ రూపిణి’ లాలిత సహస్రనామంలో పనిచేయబడింది.

    దేవిని ‘టంట్రా రూప మనోమయీ’ అని కనిపిస్తుంది. అన్ని మంత్రాలనుండి మంత్రాన్ని, అన్ని మంత్రములనుండి విబ్రేషన్, మంత్రము, వాక్యము మరియు సంగీతము తయారవుతాయి.

    Matrikas మాతృకాలు. చారిత్రికంగా వేదంలో 36 స్వర్గీయ అక్షరములు మరియు 15 స్వరములు ఉన్నాయని నేను కనుగొనలేను. ఓన్లీ పర్సనేల్సు తనకు ఇవ్వవలేనని తెలుసుకోలేను.

    तंत्र शास्त्र में देवी की पूजा करते समय, संस्कृत अक्षरों की छिपी हुई संख्या श्री यंत्र और आदि शंकराचार्य के द्वारा लिखित श्री यन्त्र और ललिता (जो खेलती है) सहस्रनाम और आदि शंकराचार्य की सौंदर्यलाहरी में छिपे हुए हैं।

    यह उल्लेखनीय है कि सौंदर्यलाहरी का पहला भाग (जो भगवान गणेश ने दिया था) और बाकी को आदि शंकराचार्य द्वारा रचा गया था।
