The info you have quoted is correct going by the texts like

Nityotsava,

Tantra raaja tantra, shaaradaa tilakam, shree vidyaarnavam etc. This

is

widely accepted and practiced also.

 

When discussing various topics with Shree AbhinavOddhanda nrsinha

Bhaarathi swaamigal of the Bhuvaneshwari (gaayathri) peetam of Hampi

(Vijayanagar), I was told that grhasthas (householders) should

worship

the Shrichakram made out of pancha loha only. The golden one

(normally bhoo-prasthaara) must be used for prathistha of idols in

temples. He further added that Shree Vidyaaranya swamigal who

founded the Vijayanagar empire also used a golden bhoo prasthaara

shrichakram for the shilaa-nyaas of the empire.

 

I was blessed to have a look at the shrichakrams made out of

different

materials like the sphatikam, maanikya, gO-medha, vajra (diamond) etc

worshipped at the Mutt. I learnt that these different chakrams are

worshipped for different purposes viz sphatika srichakram for jnaana,

gO-medha for mantravaada etc. But for a householder, the pancha loha

is the best.

wherein it said that the yantrams made out of different elements have

different shelflives after which pooja should not be performed to it

since

it loses efficacy. In the sense, the efficacy of a yantram made out

of

copper lasts for about 5 years while a silver sri chakram has a life

of

about 12 years, but those made of gold or panchaloham last for ever.

Could the upasakas of this group please advice me regarding this?
