Namo Chandramouleeshwaraaya !

Namo Naarasimhaaya !

 

1. Trailokyamohana Chakra : Here, the word Loka indicates Maata, Meya

and Maana i.e the seer, the object seen and the act of seeing itself

or in other words Kartru, karma and kriya. The compound of these

three is Trailokya. This great chakra enchants these three i.e the

trailokya and dissolves the three into a single non-dual entity which

is what leads to complete Advaita.

2. Sarvaashaaparipooraka Chakra : Here, the word Asha indicates the

insatiable desires of the mind and the senses which lead us more and

more towards duality. This great Chakra grants all desires by uniting

its Sadhaka with the ever satisfied, all fulfilling, eternal

Parabrahman or Paramashiva. This stage is indeed the Kamakoti…the

state of accomplishment of all desires or actually going beyond all

desires by achieving the most desirable thing, which indeed is the

liberating Brahma Jnana.

3. Sarvasamkshobhana Chakra : During dissolution all tatwas right

from Prithvi upto Shiva dissolve into one another. This great Chakra

which creates the destructive agitation ( Kshobha ) in all the tatwas

causing duality, thus dissolving any duality in the Sadhaka. It

agitates and destroys duality in the sadhaka.

4. Sarvasoubhagyadayaka Chakra : Saubhagya is something that is

desired by everyone. This great Chakra grants the most desired object

to the sadhaka which is nothing but the great Paramashiva or

Mahatripurasundari. What greater fortune or Bhagya does a sadhaka

long for other than his beloved mother? Thus this chakra is indeed

Chintamani-Kalpataru-Kamadhenu, all put in one.

5. Sarvarthasadhaka Chakra : The ultimate goal of all Vedic and

Tantric rites and ceremonies is the attainment of Paramashiva.

Various scriptures elaborate numerous methods to achive this final

beatitude. In the same way as all rivers merge into the great ocean

finally, any of these legitimate means take the sadhaka to the same

destination. This great Chakra results in the siddhi of all these

paths or means i.e it grants the final siddhi which is doubtlessly

Parabrahma Prapti.

6. Sarvarakshaakara Chakra : This great Chakra protects the sadhaka

from all forms anf kinds of Avidya and duality, which are the only

reasons for misery and grief. The visible world, constituted of the

36 tatwas is impermanent and since these tatwas grant Bhedadrishti or

a sense of seperation between the Aatma and the Paramatma, the world

has to be rejected as falsehood. By flooding the Sivaaham Bhavana (

the sense of Iam Shiva i.e the Advaita Bhavana) through the sadhaka,

this chakra protects him from the treacherous Samsara composed of 36

tatwas, all leading to duality. When the sadhaka realizes himself and

the entire world as not separate from Paramashiva, he is

automatically protected from Avidya. What this chakra does is to

destroy `Idamtaa or sense of this' by the pure awareness of `Ahamtaa

or Iness'.

7. Sarvarogahara Chakra : There is no worse disease than Samsara

which induces duality. Due to its constituent 36 tatwas which are

different from each other. This great Chakra destroys the disease of

this Samsara which is the root cause of all other types of diseases.

When Vamakeshwara Tantra and also the mudra khanda of Rudrayamala

speak of KhechRI as destroying all diseases, this is what is hinted

at.

8. Sarvasiddhiprada Chakra : Yoginihridaya says that this Chakra

indicates the potentiality to create-maintain-destroy the universe.

As Pratyabhijnaahridaya says `Chiti shakti is indeed responsible for

the siddhi of the universe'. Thus, the trikona or the triangle chakra

is responsible for creation, destruction and preservation, while the

other two acts namely Tirodhana and Anugraha are indicated by these

three only.

9. The state of complete harmony of Shiva and Shakti exists in

Sarvaanandamaya Chakra. Thus this Chakra is the very personification

of eternal, limitless bliss. This grants Brahmananda to sadhaka.

>From the above verses, it becomes clear that though the nine charkas

seem different due to their differing geometry, names, deity, mudra

etc.. the oneness or the non-dual aspect of all these is proved by

the fact that all these represent the non-dual Paramashiva and hence

the entire Srichakra is Parabrahman itself.

Though there are no limits to the worldly boons obtained by

worshipping srichakra, the real purport of worshipping srichakra is

Parabrahmaavaapti.
