Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Namaste Friends, Received my parcel today containing a sphatik Shree Yantra amongst other items. Absolutely beautiful it is. For anyone interested, there's a little info about Sri Chakra or Shree Yantra down below. Friends, you are all welcome to share comments, thoughts and experiences, whether you use a Shree Yantra for worship, display it as an ornament or use it to eat up negative energy, would love to hear all. It is a vast subject and something that has taken me a long time to grasp a little proper understanding of. Would be wonderful to learn more from everybody, whether layman or adepts. Thank you all in advance. Jai Maa Sy -------------------- The King Of Chakras ------------------- In the Tantra Sastra, the most celebrated and potent Yantra mentioned is the Sri Chakra, famously known as the abode of Lalita, the Mother of Grace who has her play far transcending all worlds: "Lokan atitya lalate". In the cosmos there are innumerable myriads of of universes that undergo the triple process of creation, maintenance and destruction. These functions are presided in each universe by a Brahma and a Saraswati, a Vishnu and a Lakshmi, and a Shiva and a Parvati. The myriads of gods and goddesses derive authority and power from the Supreme Goddess Lalita, Her most Imperial Majesty, Para Bhattarika. A beauty par excellence in the triple states, she is also Tripurasundari, the Empress of all sovereignities, Rajarajeswari. The abode is therefore called the "King of Chakras" or "Chakraraja". The Sri Chakra contains and sustains all other chakras like the Divine Mother, the abiding deity in the Sri Chakra, the source and sustenance of all the gods and goddesses. Tantrikas mentioned that the worship of any deity can be conducted in Sri Chakra as it is the foundation, basis and continent of all the other chakras. Sri Aurobindo's Translation of the Rig. Veda, X. 129: "That One lived without breath by his self-law, there was nothing else nor aught beyond it. In the beginning, Darkness was hidden by darkness, all this was an ocean of inconscience. When universal being was concealed by fragmentation, then by the greatness of its energy, That One was born. That moved at first as desire within, which was the primal seed of mind." "Seed of mind" -- "manaso retah prathamam". Sri Aurobindo described this as an "unthought Idea" while the Tantra noted it as "divine deliberation" or vimarsa. --------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Dear Respected Syji Namaskar My Friend and thanks for this post.....found this in the Gems and Rudraksa Book by Anil Gupta Shree Yantra the combined form of Lord Shiva and Shakti Among the ten Great Deities of learning the third One is Shodashi Lalita Raj Rajeshwari, MahaTripuraSundari. She is also called Shree Vidya, Brahma Vidya and her Yantra is Shree Yantra The Knowledge about the Mantra of Goddess Shri Tripur Sundari and its fonuder Goddess is gained from the words Shree Vidya. Its real meaning is Lakshmi and is well known to all It is said in the books of various learnings and in the studies of Deities and their hymns that money, food, grains, name and fame, and slavation are gained by duly worship of and concentrated meditation on the Deities. The worshippers and adorers of Shree Yantra not only get worldly gains but also the salvation simultaneously In the cosmos there are three states of Creation Maintenence and Destruction and these are represented by the three circles in the Sri Yantra which in itself is the symbol of the the universe or cosmos. When these circles are elevated in third dimensional form they stand as a symbol of Sumeru Mountain balanceing the whole umniverse and this form also contains all of the worlds situated on the Sumeru Mountain as described in Puranas It is called Meru Prastha Shree Yantra and is the best of all Shree Yantra is the worshipping place of the form of the Super Goddess MahaTripurSundari and is Her Divine Abode. All the Gods and Goddesses are worshipped in it and all other religious adorations are done here. It incluedes all the conducts, all the learning and all the elements. The rightful persons of all the sects, casts and creeds can believe in it as the religious practitioners and priests The Meru Prastha Shree Yantra that is carved from crystal in an elevated form in Meru form is regarded best of all and is the best for householder also , "syzenith" <syzenith> wrote: > Namaste Friends, > > Received my parcel today containing a sphatik Shree Yantra amongst > other items.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2003 Report Share Posted November 19, 2003 Dear Freinds The New Book Shakti Mantras by Thomas Ashley Farrand can be found onwebsite www.sanskritmantra.com He has described a Mantra for Shree Chakra Symbol in Chapter 7 page 159 There is a specific Mantra associated with the Sri Chakra Symbol that can activate the Kundalini in an exceedingly powerful way and that has the attributes of being both powerful and safe. Number one below is one of the thousand powers contained in the Lalita Sahasranama To Invoke the Primal Creative Power of the Universe This Mantra will gently and powerfully activate Kriya Shakti. Indra states in his hymnn of praise to Lakshmi called the Maha Lakshmi Astakam that although she is the spouse of Vishnu she is also the power of Shiva manifesting through Parvati. As such when the celestials and demons churned the ocean of consciousness in search of the Nectar of Immortality it was the great Kriya Shakti of Lakshmi they invoked. So porwerful were those efforts originally recommended by Shiva that the physical universe was created and Lakshmi made her apperaance to take her part in the Divine Drama Om Shrim Shriyei Namaha Om Shreem Shree - yei Nahm - ah - ha Om and salutations to the creative abundance that is the very form of this universe Dhanyavaad cha Pranams Mitra DharmaDev Arya , "syzenith" <syzenith> wrote: > Namaste Friends, > > Received my parcel today containing a sphatik Shree Yantra amongst > other items.
