Guest guest Posted October 20, 2008 Report Share Posted October 20, 2008 sri yantra pooja is a complicates ritual to be performed by an initiated sri vidya upasaka. It seems you mistake the Sri in Sri Yantra to be Sri Devi @mahaa lakshmi. It is not so. --- On Sun, 10/19/08, aksha.rudra <aksha.rudra wrote: aksha.rudra <aksha.rudra Please explain Sri Yantra Pooja Vidhi Sunday, October 19, 2008, 5:27 PM I request all Gyani members here to explain Shri Shri Yantra pooja vidhi which one can do on Dhanteras day before Diwali in details.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 Actually, when practiced regularly, counting the mechanical actions such as " touch yantra this way " and " say or chant this " CAN be relatively simple. However, it is the focus and devotion one brings to the act and not the repitition of the " steps " or who one is initiated by which makes the rites of Sri Vidya such a powerful vehicle of worship as they are. This is where the teacher or Guru is so important as an example. I remember as a teen learning a musical instrument. There were many, many manuals and books on theory and technique, and being devoted to the work I made great progress. Several years later when I took some actual lessons from a teacher that would meet me at the level I was - rather than begin me at the very beginning - I truly began to make progress, because he could diagnose errors in technique and execution and help me to correct them for optimal result. Again, that is where the Guru is so very important. I attempted to practice Sri Vidya for a number of years prior to initiation as I could not find a teacher in the US who would accept a westerner, no matter how devoted. I plodded on, making Goddess knows how many mistakes in technique and pronunciation, but always offering the best I could. When I did find the teacher, (and it may be argued that, as the saying goes, I the student was finally ready - having done Sri Puja as devotedly as possible without the benefit of formal initiation) and took Diksha I noticed that my practice seemed subjectively " enhanced " . I asked if it was due to the actual act and rite as well as his correction of my tech and pronunciation, but he told me that it was more an issue of my personal need to be doing it " right " being out of the way, and particulalry, that so much of practice is simply getting out of one's own way to hear HER more completely, than a matter of the Goddess finally accepting me due to having been initiated. He said that Shakti was with me from birth and even before, and that she accepts and loves all of her children and their offerings from all perspectives, and levels of sophistication - from the poorest mother offering a bowl of rice to the most grand and elaborate temple rite, insofar as the offering is one of true devotion. He did stress that following the prescribed procedures brought me into alignment with the ancient tradition and allowed me access to the accumulated Shakti (as Power) of the sampradaya and that would be helpful in my spiritual developement. My Guru had actually written a book several years earlier so that those outside the traditional schools might have access to the rites of Sri Puja, and It was this that formed the basis of my pre Diksha practice and I thank Goddess that someone offered it so. It would be difficult to think of him as a " fool " . Namaste, Nadananda - sankara menon Sunday, October 19, 2008 9:26 PM Re: Please explain Sri Yantra Pooja Vidhi very simple n'est ce pas?
