garimA siddhi in shrIchakropAsanA

[Guest guest]

Shri Harsha Ramamurthy's post on garimA siddhi in shrIchakropAsanA:

==================================================================

 

The Structure of Srichakra varies in the three Prime Sampradayas of

Srividya. The popular shloka which describes the Srichakra is as

follows:

 

bindutrikoNa vasukoNa dashArayugma manwashranAgadalasaMyuta

ShoDashaaram

..

 

vR^ittatrayaM cha bhuumIsadanatrayaM cha shrIchakrametaduditaM

paradevataayaaH .. (Rudrayamala - 25, 3) and (Siddheshwarimata -

13,5).

 

This describes vR^ittatraya (three girdles or circles) after the

bhUpUra trailokyamohana chakra. As per Samhara Krama, this will thus

become the dwitIyAvaraNa of the chakrarAja. In Hayagriva Sampradaya,

these three circles will be absent in the Srichakra. In the

Anandabhairava Sampradaya Chakra, these lines are present in the

Srichakra, but there is no Archana performed for this AvaraNa.

However, in the Dakshinamurti Sampradaya, these three lines are

present in the Srichakra and are also worshipped as one of the

AvaraNas. In the outermost line, which is described as white in

color, the mAtR^ika shaktis or Yoginis of the letters kaM to kShaM

(kalarAtri and others) are worshipped. In the second circle, which is

described as red in color, following an anti-clockwise pattern, the

shaktis of the swaras i.e. aM to Ah (amR^itA etc.) are worshipped. In

the third and the innermost circle, described as having kR^iShNa

varNa, the nityA goddesses are worshipped. The chakreshwari of this

AvaraNa is tripureshinI, mudrA is mahAyoni and the siddhi is garimA.

So, this is where the garimA siddhi fits in. Hence, people who are

following the khadgamAla of the sampradayas other than Dakshnimaurti,

should not include garimA siddhi in the first AvaraNa. Also, this

AvaraNa, which is found only in Dakshiamurti Sampradaya and which

houses garimA siddhi is called Trivarga sAdhaka Chakra.

 

namAmi sha~Nkaratrayam.

When my Gurunatha Shree Shankara Shastrigal, who happens to be the

Gurunathar of Shree Harsha Ramamoorthy (Harshaananda naatha), taught

me " dEvee Khadgamaala ", instructed me not to chant "garimaa siddhi"

as it is having a curse. My wisdom is very limited and I didn't ask

him then, the reason/background for the curse. I hereby request Shree

Harsha to kindly enlighten us on this topic.
