UNDERSTANDING AND WORSHIPING SRI CHAKRA by V RAVI Pdf
Divine Mother abides in Sri Chakra. This is also known as Sri Yantra and Chakra-raja. This is the most supreme amongst all the yantra-s. Uttara bhag (the chapter containing the benefits of recitation, also known as phalashruti) of Lalita Trishati elucidates Sri Chakra in a comprehensive manner. Sri Chakra is the body of Shiva and Shakti. Sri Chakra is compared to a human body and Shiva and Shakti are compared to the soul within. Sri Chakra is full of life and energy and should be worshipped with great reverence. Any god or goddess can be worshipped in Sri Chakra, as all of them have a place in it. The book has three sections. First section is titled “Journey to Sri Chakra”. This part elaborately deals with Sri Nagara the outer portion of Sri Chakra. We can enter Sri Chakra only after crossing Sri Nagara, which has several forts guarded by different gods and goddesses. Our journey to Sri Chakra begins from Sri Nagara. During this journey, we worship various gods, goddesses, sages and saints. We also come across various rivers, ponds, forests and gardens. When we have traversed through Sri Nagara, we are able to see Sri Chakra and we continue our journey towards the innermost triangle after passing through various devi-s guarding Lalitambika by remaining in various triangles of Sri Chakra. We worship them and finally proceed to the innermost triangle where we are completely purified. Inside the triangle, we are blessed to have darshan of Lalitambika. After spending sometime at Her feet She takes us to Shiva in the Bindu to get us liberated. The second section of the book deals with Navavarana Puja. Every aspect of mantras is explained in detail by quoting references form Lalita Sahasranama and other sacred Scriptures. This part of the book is a complete guide to perform navavarana puja and all the mantras with explanations and images are given. This section of the book is eloborate, as it contains mantras, images and explanations and detailed procedure for performing the Navavarana puja. Third and final section of the book is Bhavanopanishad. Bhavana means imagination or formation of a concept in the mind. Like any other Upanishad, this Upanishad also does not deal with practices. It helps us to contemplate our body with Sri Chakra. There are totally thirty seven verses (some texts call these as sutra-s). Detailed interpretations are given for all the sutras. At the end of this portion, we will be able to contemplate our body as Sri Chakra. Print edition consists of both Sanskrit and English texts. English texts are given in IAST format so that, those who are not conversant with Sanskrit can pronounce the mantras properly. Pronunciation guide is also provided. This book can be acclaimed as an encyclopaedia of Sri Chakra.

Sri Yantra Bhavana Upanishad by Ashwini Kumar Aggarwal Pdf
The Sri Yantra Bhavana Upanishad is attributed to the Atharvaveda. It is a later Upanishad that illuminates the Bhavana or Deeper Emotions connected to the Sri Yantra, the body of the Mother Divine, and also the body of Divine Yogic Union of Purusha and Prakriti. It expounds the innermost intense feelings of the Soul, its basic desire, and ways and means to connect and unite with the ultimate consciousness. What is a Sri Yantra? A healing mandala diagram made by 4 Upward Apex Triangles and 5 Downward Apex Triangles, properly intertwined to represent • the cosmic forces in creation, and • the principles of duality, harmony, and divinity. The 9 Basic Triangles create a total of 43 Triangles due to the overlapping, which are grouped (shaded) as 14 + 10 + 10 + 8 + 1 = 43. Apart from these Triangles, • there is a central Dot (Bindu) • there are three Circles with 8 and 16 petals encircling the Triangles • there are four Gates encircling the entire Mandala, composed of three lines. Sanskrit Seed Sounds (bija mantra) like ॐ Om, are potent healing and nourishing energies. Sound is an energy. Pleasing sounds (meditative music, blessings) have excellent effects on one's behavior, attitude, and long-term all round success in life. An aesthetically made Mandala can become vastly superior when infused with Seed Sounds.

Tantra, Mantra and Yantra of Sri Vidya by Vinita Rashinkar Pdf
“Sri Vidya begins where the current understanding of quantum physics ends,” say modern-day scholars about this little-known, highly esoteric spiritual tradition that has been carefully kept under wraps by its secretive and serious practitioners. The study of Sri Vidya is fascinating as much as it is frustrating because information about its various aspects is exceptionally hard to find. Tantra, Mantra and Yantra of Sri Vidya is an endeavor to explore the Sri Vidya tradition and understand it as the unfolding of Shakti, the inherent power which lies at the core of our being and holds the key to our worldly and spiritual success. Sri Vidya practice comprises tantra (a technique or framework for worship) whose two main elements are mantra (sacred sound) and yantra (sacred geometry). Tantra can be described in simple terms as the utilization of the mental faculty to pursue the objectives of worship using mantra and yantra. Mantra is the use of sound energy to bring about oneness with the Divine while yantra is a geometric drawing that serves as a tool to reach the Divine. The book delves into concepts such as Sankhya, Yoga, Karma and Kundalini in order to establish the context of how Sri Vidya is to be approached, combining elements of knowledge, devotion and ritual. The author has kept in mind the sensibilities of the modern spiritual seeker and their needs and interests, presenting the information in a non-dogmatic and practical manner, thereby allowing everyone an opportunity to learn and experience the benefits of Sri Vidya. This is the third book by the author in the Spirituality Series. The first book was about the Sri Chakra Yantra and the second book had Chakras as its subject.
The Known Secret (Golden ratio and Sri Yantra) by Pisipati S.S. Prasad Pdf
Sri Yantra is linear approximation to nonlinear reality i.e. Brahman, the Ultimate God. Sri Yantra represents micro and macro objects which include Universe, individual, any matter in the Universe. Hence all Universal laws should be applicable to Sri Yantra. Golden Ratio is the universal ratio and can be seen everywhere. This was first known to Indians over 2000 years ago. Since Golden Ratio is Universal and Sri Yantra represents the Universe, both should have correlation. My efforts through this book would be to prove the same. The idea is to understand geometry of Sri Yantra (other Yantras in Sri Vidya) and relate it to universal laws.
Sri Yantra with Golden Ratio Triangle and Inscriptions by Ashwini Kumar Aggarwal Pdf
Avaranas - the nine enclosures, and their Sanskrit Alphabet Letters. There are principally three texts that throw light on this topic. a) Bhavana Upanishad (Bhavanopanishad) from Atharvaveda b) Soundaraya Lahiri of Adi Shankaracharya c) Sri Matrika Chakra Viveka of Kashmir Shaivism We have taken the commentary of Bhavana Upanishad for this book. At the end, the slightly alternate view from Sri Matrika Chakra Viveka is also given. In the Sri Yantra, we travel anticlockwise since East is depicted below. Sequence is: i.East ii.NorthEast iii.North iv.NorthWest v.West vi.SouthWest vii.South viii.SouthEast An ultra powerful Mandala for immense healing and sparking devotion. Made using the Golden Ratio. Lists each of the - Nine Enclosures, - the 9 basic triangles (4 Upward Apex Shiva Triangles + 5 Downwards Apex Shakti Triangles) - the 43 subsequent triangles, - the 8 and 16 petals and 4 gates of the Bhupura, with clear and precise Diagrams inscribed with Sanskrit Seed Sounds. ------------ 8th Enclosure Aṣṭama Āvaraṇa शब्द-स्पर्श-रूप-रस-गन्धाः पञ्च-तन्मात्राः पञ्च-पुष्पबाणाः ॥ २१॥ मनः इक्षु-धनुः ॥ २२॥ रागः पाशः ॥ २३॥ द्वेषः अङ्कुशः ॥ २४॥ śabda-sparśa-rūpa-rasa-gandhāḥ pañca-tanmātrāḥ pañca-puṣpabāṇāḥ ॥ 21॥ manaḥ ikṣu-dhanuḥ ॥ 22॥ rāgaḥ pāśaḥ ॥ 23॥ dveṣaḥ aṅkuśaḥ ॥ 24॥ • Sound, Touch, Form, Taste, Smell are the five direct sensory tolerances, and are called the five alluring arrows. • The thought producing Mind is the desirous bow ever shooting outwards • The feeling of Infatuation is that which initially entangles and ultimately strangles • The feeling of Aversion is that which hobbles and restricts one’s own evolution. अव्यक्त-महत्तत्त्वम्-महत्अहङ्काराः इति कामेश्वरी-वज्रेश्वरी-भगमालिनी अन्तस् त्रिकोण-अग्रगा देवताः ॥ २५॥ avyakta-mahattattvam-mahatahaṅkārāḥ iti kāmeśvarī-vajreśvarī-bhagamālinī antas trikoṇa-agragā devatāḥ ॥ 25॥ • The unmanifest primordial nature, • The individual consciousness, and • The human ego are the leading divinities of this innermost triangle, also named Kameshwari, Vajreshwari, Bhagamalini. Sanskrit Seed Sounds (bija mantra) like ॐ Om are potent healing and nourishing energies. Sound is an energy. Pleasing sounds (meditative music, blessings) have excellent effects on one's behavior, attitude, and long-term all round success in life. Harsh and deterring sounds (cruel speech, improper audio-video) wipe away our enthusiasm, drain our energy, block talent and result in suffocation and clouding of our neural activity, thereby reducing success. An aesthetically made Mandala can become vastly superior when infused with Seed Sounds. It is like getting a good vehicle and then employing a proper driver. The Sri Yantra is one of the most ancient mystical, benevolent and highly rewarding mathematical forms of sacred geometry. Recent archaeological and scientific explorations have again and again highlighted that famous and affluent cities of the world e.g. Washington DC, Paris, Bombay have been built using principles of sacred geometry. Architects and Engineers like Leonardo Da Vinci, Mayan Vishwakarma; and Structures including the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Taj Mahal, the Shiva Shakti temples of Thanjavur; have made extensive use of sacred geometry. Contains sample procedure to draw the Sri Yantra using an engineering software like AutoCAD. It is hoped that modern architects and builders and Yantra manufacturers can employ precise techniques to get it right. ------------- Contains Full Color Plates.
The Sacred Sounds of Sri Vidya by Vinita Rashinkar Pdf
“Sri Vidya begins where the current understanding of quantum physics ends,” say modern-day scholars about this little-known, highly esoteric spiritual tradition that has been kept under wraps by its practitioners. Sri Vidya practice is a three-fold one, encompassing mantra (sacred sound), yantra (sacred geometry) and tantra (a technique or framework for worship). Learning about the mantras used in the Sri Vidya tradition is fascinating as much as it is frustrating because information about its various aspects is exceptionally hard to find. This book endeavours to explore the main mantras used in the Sri Vidya tradition and understand them as the unfolding of Shakti, the inherent power which lies at the core of our being and holds the key to our worldly and spiritual success. Our minds and beliefs can be our strongest allies or our worst enemies. The book delves into concepts such as the importance of building the right narrative about life and the need for ritual in modern-day lifestyle. Samskara, vritti and vasana are described along with a detailed study of tantra and Sri Vidya before a discussion on mantras in general and then focusing on the mantras used in the Sri Vidya tradition. The subjects covered seek to establish the context of mantra sadhana in Sri Vidya is to be approached, combining elements of knowledge, devotion and ritual.

This book offers everyone an opportunity to learn and experience the benefits of mantra sadhana of Sri Vidya and enjoy a life of abundance in all aspects of life – good health, meaningful relationships, success at work, peace and bliss in the spiritual path. The author has kept in mind the sensibilities of the modern spiritual seeker and their needs and interests, presenting the information in a non-dogmatic and practical manner.

The first book was about the Sri Chakra Yantra, the second was about Chakras and the third was Tantra, Mantra and Yantra of Sri Vidya.
The temple for the Lord of Vengadam in Tirumala (Andhra Pradesh, India) is one of the richest places of worship in the entire world with ever-increasing popularity, the footfall of devotees on the Seven Hills touching a whopping figure of seventy thousand on weekdays and one hundred thousand during the weekends. The Temples annual budget hovers around 25 billion rupees. This world record to fame and riches is not without its flip side. The temple has become the focal point for a variety of controversiessome created by the political class, some by historians with an axe to grind, and some more by Hindus with a sectarian outlook. The never-ending dispute is over the identity of the idol as a result of the age-old conflict between the worshippers of Siva and Vishnu, the two most important deities of the Hindu pantheon. Taking their cue from this, Neo-Buddhists joined the fray with the claim that the temple was a Buddhist shrine and that it was converted into Vishnu temple by wily Brahmins. The book aims to unravel the mystery over the history of the temple, providing a historical perspective to the issue and thus establishing the real identity of the Lord, which is indisputably that of the Vishnu.
The Lalitha Sahasranamam is one of the important and famous hymn in the Hindu way of life. It is a hymn in praise of Lalitha Tripurasundari also called as Lalithambika. The Lalitha Sahasranamam occurs in the Brahmanda Purana. It is a hymn that describes the 1000 various names of Sri Lalitha Tripurasundari as the Divine Mother. While doing so, the hymn provides a beautiful mix of poetry, romance, religion and philosophy. It is presented during the course of instructions imparted to Sage Agasthya by Lord Hayagriva who is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Broadly, the Sahasranamam describes the beauty of the Goddess, her kingdom known as Sri Puram or Sri Nagara, the great lotus forest known as Mahapadma vana at the centre of this city of Sri Nagara and her ultimate battle against Bandasura and his annihilation. I have divided the subject into sixteen chapters and tried to briefly explain it to the extent of my understanding.
