adhikara for meru

[Guest guest]

An excerpt from Shri Harsha Ramamurthy of Kamakoti Mandali:

 

 

*********************************************************************

The minimum requirement to keep a Srichakra in a house would be initiation into

Panchadashi or any of the higher Srividya mantras.

To keep a Meru, one must necessarily have had upadesha of Mahashodashi and Purna

Diksha (Rudrayamale, Rajarajeshwari Parishishte). Also, like Saligrama,

Srichakra when kept at home, requires a great deal of attention and purity on

the part of the Sadhaka. It may be noted that along with Sridevi, crores of her

Shaktis also reside in the Chakra. One should, at the least perform a

Shodashopachara Pooja with Abhisheka using Sri, Durga, Purusha Suktas or Rudra

and archana with Khadgamala.

One should also periodicially perform the elaborate ritual of Navavarana Pooja,

if not every day. Before all this, the

Srichakra has to be installed as per the procedures detailed in the Shastras.

For a simple one, you may refer to Nityotsava.

There are also certain Pramanas which ban the Pooja of a Meru Chakra in a house.

One should consult his own Guru in matters like this.

While using a Sabija Chakra, more rules come into picture. A Grihastha or

Grihini, who wants to worship Devi can do so through a

Vigraha (preferably smaller than one's fist) using Sri Lalita Ashtottara

Shatanamavali and other Stotras like Devi Chatushshatyupachara Stotra etc. One

should think very carefully before bringing a Srichakra into the house.
