Guest guest Posted December 13, 2001 Report Share Posted December 13, 2001 Dear Sir, I search for information about the Hrit- or Hridaya-Chakra. I am in need for this information because in this Chakra there is the spiritual heart, it is the seat of the Atman and the place where ones Ishtadevata should be worshiped. But so far I could not find a satisfactory description of this Chakra. It is variously described as a lotus having 8, 16, or 1000 petals, being golden, red, reddish-yellow, or white of colour; inside of the lotus there are the circular regions of sun, moon, and fire and in the centre of the Chakra, there are a whishing-tree (kalpa vriksha), a throne, and an altar. However, I am not sure what is meant with these "circular regions" - does that mean one should visualize sun and moon circling round over the top of the wishing-tree, and fire burning around it? And where is the altar placed - before or at the side of the throne? I would also like to know if there is also holy water in the Chakra. If you have some more information, I would be most grateful for your kind help. Kind regards, Alexandra Kafka alexandra.kafka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
