Omkaram..
The Causal Word, om, represents the divine thought, the source of existence. It corresponds to the power of will, known as Siva Intention, or icchha shakti. The power of knowledge known as Vishnu Formulation, or jnana shakti, and the power of action known as Brahma Expression, or kriya shakti, also express the Causal Word, om.
Omkara signifies the Supreme Siva, being both vyashti (individual) and samashti (cosmic). Thus, Ganesha om, the divine son of Siva, is the support of the whole universe. His sound-symbol om is indestructible in past, present and future. It is immortal and ageless. He is ever Pillaiyar, the cherished child of Uma-Parameshvara. By meditating on Him in the three aspects of A-U-M, devotees can realize the reality of the Godhead. The mahavakya om Tat Sat implies "That is what it is," and it is transmuted into the form of Ganesha. He embodies the Truth of Tat Tvam Asi, "Thou art That."

VEDAM

This Veda is almost like a vast ocean of knowledge, which has come into being while the god was sleeping. It was stored in the heart of the god, which evaluated in the form of noise (Naod). How long this Noad lingered around is difficult to say. Those ancient scholars, Rishis acquired the knowledge of the Vedas in the form of sound. The same got spread among the common intellects who further glorified the knowledge in the Vedas. To receive the correct interpreter and the deep meaning of the Vedas, from Bramhadeva and to experience it, the Rishis applied inner ears. They were overjoyed, being spellbound by the sound and seeing the maintestation of the Vedas. They in turn gave literary shape to this sound. This collection of letters is known as the 'Richas' of the Vedas. In turn these Richas are known as Mantras. The meaning of Mantras is more valuable than the letters with which they are written...sound even more valuable than meaning, and the effects of these sounds (Parinaam) are far more valuable than sounds. All together is called the knowledge of the Vedas (Veda Dynana)Every part of the Vedas, thus seperated and named have a prestigious value and importance. The names of these four vedas are :
1 Rigvedam
2 Yajurvedam
3 Samvedam
4 Atharvavedam.

RIGVEDAM

The first humming sound in the world of sound - The first letter in the world of letters. The Veda is defined as the Nidhior Sanchay or storage of knowledge of unique nature and which is regarded as the ideal of all that is auspicious. The Veda is not simply a knowledge-oriented literature, to be critically discussed, it also conveys the significance of the utilization of knowledge, how and when? In addition acquiring it. Till the time, you don’t realise how to use the knowledge, it is futile to only acquire the same… it is of no use. The glory and grandeur of knowledge is visible to the public, when utilized properly. In this respect, Rigveda is regarded as the vast and richest treasure of knowledge. This veda is the largest of all the vedas. There are in all 10 mandals (Assemblies), with 1020 Suktas, and 10552 Richas or Mantraj. In all these Richas, there are 1,53,526 stanzas and the total letters are 4,32,000. These are two branches of this Veda available, one is ‘Shakal’ and the other is ‘Bashkal’, out of this, the exhaustive and complete code of shakal branch is unavailable. Although Rigveda is totally full of Mantras, these evolute valuable exhaustive information. If we look minutely, we will notice two independent concepts, one is spiritual and other is practical, which are included in the subjects of the Mantras.There are many hymns (suktas) in this Veda. There is Brahmanspati Sukta popular with Ganesh Devatas, Pavmanpanchasukta of Lord Vishnu’s devotees, Saurasukta, Agnisukta etc. In addition, there are Parjanyasukta, Mandooksukta, Krishisukta, Gosukta, Shantipath and many others. One Ushasukta, displays literacy grandeur & style at its best, used by the Rishis. It reviews the behavior of creatures in the world, on the backdrop of nature. Famous Gayatri Mantra is also a part of Rigveda.There are many other topics, such as Kalgati, Geography, Organization, Measures, effects of Navagriha, Power of each material, their effects social ethics, social system, Medicinal herbs different forms of fire (Agni) and water, origin of creatures in the world etc. have been analytically discussed in Rigveda.

YAJURVEDAM

After Rigveda comes Yajurveda. The Prime teacher of this Veda is Acharya Vaishampayan. There are however two types of Yajurvadas, one is Krishna Yajurveda and second one is Shukla Yajurvada. With this division taking place, their leadership (Archarya) got changed. While the first of the two was taken over by Vaishampayan, the second one was headed by Yadnyavalkya.Taitariya is the main branch of Krishna Yajurveda and in which there are 44 chapters (i.e. Adhyayas). The number of Mantras are 1975.Major portion of the Krishna Yajurveda is prose. The religious rites like Rudra, Udakshanti etc., which are very common with public, have been elaborated with thoughts; similarly from the performance of small yadnyas to the performance of Rajsurya Yadnya, all the established actual actions (Kruti) have been covered in these Vedas. These Vedas have further narrated about business and trades of different people, their customs traditions, social ethics, about animal husbandry etc.If we carefully think about both the Vedas, we will find that even though Rigveda is bigger in Volume, the Yajurvedas contents are multifaced. In this veda, there are 65 sub branches of Shukla Yajurveda and 24 sub branches of Krishna Yajurveda. However today all are non existent only few are surviving.

SAMAVEDAM

This is third Veda. We may not name it as independent Veda, since it is a collection of few special Mantras from the Rigveda and Yajurveda. Further because, there are only 75 Richas in this Veda, which could be distinctly termed as Sammantra. According to Patanjal Mahamuni there can be 1000 branches of this Veda. As on today however, there are only the codes of two branches available. This Veda has been honoured and distinguished as having musical (poetical) tone. During the performance of the Yadnyas different Mantras used to be sung and recited. This tradition of singing Richas got a dignified status. Lord Shri Krishna, in his Bhagwatgeeta opens out his distinctive identity by mentioning this Veda against three others.

ATHARVAVEDAM
This is the fourth Veda. It has 20 segments, and the total number of Stotras is 730 with the number of Mantras is 5987. There are different subjects included in this Veda. The scholars claim that it has 15 Branches. The subjects like Grihastha Dharma (accepting the responsibility of the family) Brahmacharya (period before Marriage), Nation, Vishanash (destruction of Visha-poison-evil) Paap-Nash (destruction of ill-doings) are tackled.This Veda was handed over as a responsibility to Pippaload by Maharshi Vyas, when he divided the Vedas into four. Out of the 15 branches only nine branches are prominently familiar. These nine branches are Paipload, Tauda, Mauda, Shaunakiya, Jajala, Jalada, Brahmveda, Devdarsha, Charan Vaidya. The codes of only two branches are available. There is quite a difference between these codes.

GAYATRI MANTRAM
Om..

OM Bhur-Bhuvah-Svah.Tat savitur varenyam bhargo devasva dhimahi.Dhiyo yo nah pracodayat.

'Gayatri Mantra', the ultimate Vedic prayer to awaken the intellectual powers of a person, first found its reference in the 'Vedas' believed to be the storehouse of all Divine Knowledge and the most ancient scriptures known to mankind. The universal prayer is addressed to the Sun God, addressed as 'Savitha' as the Life-Giver on Earth. Goddess Gayatri or Annapurna is believed to be the Mother-God that animates all Life. Considered to be the essence of the Vedas, Gayatri Mantra fosters and hones the knowledge-yielding faculty of a person. The four 'mahavakyas' or ultimate sentences of Gayatri Mantra, is a sacred mantra that demonstrates the unity that underlies multiplicity and manifoldness in creation.The essence of the Mantra can be stated as follows - 'Oh God! Thou art the Giver of Life, Remover of pain and sorrow, The Bestower of happiness, Oh! Creator of the Universe, May we receive thy supreme sin-destroying light, May Thou guide our intellect in the right direction.'
The individual words and characters of the Mantra have a meaning of their own than can be defined as follows:

Om: The primeval sound that represents Brahma,

Bhur: The physical world that embodies the vital spiritual energy or 'Pran',

Bhuvah: The mental world and destroyer of all sufferings,

Swaha: The celestial and spiritual world that embodies happiness,

Tat: That or God, referring to transcendental Paramatma (Ultimate Spirit),

Savithur: The Bright Sun or the Creator and Preserver of World,

Varenyam: Best or most adorable,

Bhargo: Destroyer of all sins,

Devasya: Divine Deity or Supreme Lord,

Dheemahi: We meditate upon and take in,

Dhiyo: The Intellect,

Yo: The Light,

Nah: Our,

Prachodayath: Inspire or Enlighten.Thus,

the Gayatri Mantra can be translated as follows:
We meditate on the glory of the Creator; Who has created the Universe;Who is worthy of Worship; Who is the embodiment of Knowledge and Light; Who is the remover of all Sin and Ignorance; May He enlighten our Intellect.

SRI RUDRAM

jaya siva sambhu..
Sri Rudram is one of the most sacred and powerful mantra found in Krishna Yajurveda. We present here the Sanskrit words in English and word-by-word in English meaning. Hope you will find it useful in understanding the most sacred, most powerful Mantra of Lord Shiva. Rudram is divided into 11 sections called Anuvakas. In the first Anuvaka, Rudra is asked to turn away his Ghora rupa (fierce appearance) and to please keep his and his followers’ weapons at bay. Having been pacified, Rudra is requested to destroy the sins of those for whom it is being chanted. Apart from being a hymn devoted Lord Shiva, Srirudram also contains may hidden secrets in coded format. For example the verses contain coded instructions for preparing various ayurvedic medicines.
Namakam and Chamakam are the two main sections of Sri Rudram

SRI CHAKRAM

The structure of Sri Chakra




The basis of Sri Chakra is its mantra; the fifteen lettered mantra in three groups:ka e i la hrim; ha sa ka ha la hrim; sa ka la hrim. The sixteenth letter “srim” is present in a subtle form. Sri Chakra is basically a triad. The triangle which is primary to the chakra has three angles and the deity residing in it is Tripura. The mantra of each of the nine enclosures of Sri Chakra is three lettered; the mother goddess is worshipped in her three forms; the Kundalini energy in the individual is threefold, and the phenomenal processes arising out of the union of Shiva and Shakthi are also three. The Chakra design represents Tripura or Tripura Sundari; while her manifest powers (yogini) are nine.

All its other interpretations are also in terms of three and nine. The three groups that constitute the mantra are called Kuta (peaks) or Khanda (segments).They are interpreted variously in sets of three as: Agni(fire),Surya(sun) and Chandra(moon); srishti(creation), Shtithi (preservation) and laya (dissolution); Iccha( will), jnana(knowledge) and kriya(action); Sattva,Rajas and Tamas; Jagrat(wakefulness); swapna(dream state) and sushupthi(deep sleep); jnatra(the knower), jnana(the knowledge) and jneya( the known) ; as atma(individual self), antaratma(inner being) and paramatma (supreme self)and  also as past , present and future.

In general, the Sri Yantra is a 'cosmogram' - a graphic representation of the universal processes of emanation and reabsorption reduced to their essential outline.

The diagram of the Sri Chakra is primarily a Matrix (i.e. womb) of nine interlocking triangles. Five of these triangles have their apex facing downward. They are 

   

Shakthi trikonas, the triangles representing five forms of feminine energy, Shakthi. The other four triangles with their apex facing upward are Shiva trikonas representing the male aspect, Shiva, Consciousness. In Tantra, the feminine is the active principle; and the male is passive. The Tantra texts mention that Sri Chakra is produced when five forms of Shakthi and four forms of Shiva unite. The intersection of these nine triangles creates forty-three triangles. It is customary to regard the point at the centre also as a triangle. Thus, in effect there are forty-four triangles in Sri Chakra; and these are arranged in nine enclosures (navavaranas), in groups of three.

The intersections of two lines is called Sandhi; and there are are 24 such Sandhis.These intersections have a certain significance. The meeting of two lines represents union of Shiva and Shakthi.





And, the points where three lines meet are called marma sthanas . There are 28 such marma sthanas.

The meeting of three lines represents explicit harmony between Shiva and Shakthi; and they are vital spots in the body where the life-energy resides as well as accumulates. The marma has thus been called the Seat of Life or Jiva-sthana.

   

A total of 43 triangles are created from the overlapping of the nine original triangles





As regards the Bindu , the dimensionless point at the core of the Sri Chakra Yantra, the Tantra texts explanain that Bindu is Kameshwara , the ground of the universe; and the immediate triangle is Kameshwari the mother of universe; the union of purusha and prakriti. The union of these two is the Sri Chakra, which represents the entire phenomenal pattern.This is denoted by the secret syllable shrim. In fact , it is this point colored red , that really is the Sri Chakra. Every other detail is an expansion or a manifestation of its aspects. The mother goddess worshipped in Sri Chakra is the universe. The devotee has to identify that principle in his body, for his body is the Sri Chakra or the universe in epitome. He is guided in this endeavour by the guru who is the representative of Shiva.

The bindu also represents, at various times, the principles or activities known as the Pancha Kriya of: Emanation of the cosmos from its primal source; Projection of creation into the primal void; Preservation of the created universe; Withdrawal of the creative and preservative energies in cosmic dissolutions; and lastly, Retention of the withdrawn energy-universe for the next cycle of re-creation. These five activities are regarded as the five modes of expression of the Universal Mother.

 

There are several other explanations.

Bindu is regarded a sphere in its own right. The expanded form of the Bindu is the triangle formed by three points and is called Sarva siddhi prada (the sphere of fulfillment of all aspirations). It is described as Prakriti (Mother Nature) composed of three gunas (fundamental fabric of all existence) sattva, rajas and thamas. the Kadi school explains sattva as that which covers and conceals (aavarana); while the other two gunas as that which project the world of duality or multiplicity(vikshepa). The three gods Brahma (creator), Vishnu (preserver) and Rudra (destroyer) are actually the representations of these three gunas. They are in turn the three aspects of the Devi represented as trikona chakra.

It also explained that from Shakthi flashes forth the creative impulse known as nada (sound), which manifests as Kundalini or the creative urge, in all living beings. Here, Bindu is Shiva; Bija is Shakthi; and nada is their union. These give rise to the power of will (icchha shakthi); the power of knowledge (jnana shakthi); and power of action (kriya shakthi).These in turn give rise to Rudra, Vishnu and Brahma.

Another explanation is, Bindu, also called Sarvanandamaya (all blissful), represents the transcendental power (Para Shakthi) and absolute harmony (saamarasya) between Shiva and Shakthi. This is equivalent to what the Vedanta calls the Brahman. Owing to the power of the will (icchha shakthi) there comes about an apparent differentiation of Shakthi from Shiva, expressed in the form of triangle. Here again, the triangle is the expansion of the Bindu (bindu vikasana).If the Bindu represents the Para_nada, the triangle represents the Pashyanti, the second stage of the sound, nada. The enclosure next to this, the eight sided figure (ashta kona chakra) is the Madhyama or the third stage in the development of sound. The rest of the Chakra represents the physical or the phenomenal stage, the Vaikhari, which is the manifest and articulate form of sound. The Vaikhari form is represented by the fifty letters of the alphabet, called matrikas or the source of all transactions and existence. The sixteen vowels (from aa) constitute the lunar sphere (Chandra mandala), the twenty-four consonants (from ka to tha) the solar sphere (Surya mandala); and the remaining ten consonants (from ma to ksha) the sphere of fire (Agni mandala). Thus, the triangle is also known as tri kuta, tri khanda and tri mandala.

Bindu is identified with Shiva and trikona with Shakthi. The process of evolution (shristi) or the apparent separation of Shiva and Shakthi is referred to as adi_dwandwa. The evolution from the primary state into the mundane level is regarded as a descent, avarohana krama; whereas  the withdrawal from the gross to the very subtle state is termed Samhara krama.  Here the devotee moves into higher spiritual levels; and therefore it is termed arohana krama. It is a gradual process.

The significance of the triangle is explained thus:

The name of the goddess is Tripura; and number three is important in approaching her. She is of the nature of the sun, the moon and the fire. She is masculine, feminine and neuter. Her form is red, white and the mixture of the two. Her mantra has three letters (hrim, klim, sauh); and from this mantra three segments of time – past, present and future – emerge. From this mantra too emerge the realms, three Vedas, three states of existence( waking, dreaming and sleeping) and three gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva.


****

All these geometric designs are  contained within Sri Chakra , arranged in nine enclosures or nava_ avaranas.They are also termed as nine chakras. Each of this has its name, a characteristic physical form and a spiritual significance. Each has its color suggesting its tendencies. Each Chakra has its presiding deity (chakreshwari or Chakra nayika); and she is a variant form of the mother goddess abiding at the Bindu. The Chareshwari rules over her set of attendant divinities; such as Yoginis who aid the devotee on in his spiritual progress, and the Mudra Devatas, seal-divinities, who welcome, purify and delight the devotee.

The yoginis have a special role in Sri Chakra worship. They make explicit the union of the male and female aspects of the Sri Chakra in each of its enclosures. They are in fact, the symbols of urges, aspirations, inhibitions, limitations, obstructions and powers active in each individual. The yoginis aid the devotees, but derive their power from the mother goddess.

Sri Chakra is verily the body of the mother goddess, who resides as energy in the universe and as pure consciousness in the individual. The nine enclosures symbolize in a graded series the significance of the universal and individual; the ideological and ritual; expressive and contemplative; and the in inner and outer aspects of Sri Chakra.

The outer group of chakras (1, 2 and3) symbolizes extension or shristi. They represent Shiva aspect of the chakra. The middle group (4, 5 and 6) symbolizes the preservation or sthithi. They represent Shakthi aspect of the chakra. The inner group (7, 8 and the Bindu) symbolize absorption or samhara. The Bindu represents the transcendental aspect of mother goddess. The other two avaranas (7and 8) are also Shakthi aspects.

The nine chakras are interpreted in terms of Time(kaala),the five elements that compose all things(Pancha_Bhuthas); and three states of awareness-wakefulness , dream and deep sleep.

The nine charras are also interpreted as corresponding to parts in human body . 

No.	Chakra	Corresponding to part of human body
01	Bhupura	First line: feet;Second line:knees; and third line : thighs
	Triple girdle	Mid portion of the body
02	Shoidasha_dala padma	Region below navel and  upto penis region ; kati
03	Ashta_dala padma	Navel region – nabhi
04	Chaturdasha	Abdominal region-kukshi
05	Bahir _dasha	Neck-kantha
06	Antar_dasha	Region between eye brows- bhru_madhya
07	Ashtara	Forehead-lalata
08	Trikona	Top of the head- masthaka
09	Bindu	Opening on the crown of the head leading to Sahasra Dala padma (Brahma randra)

The nine avaranas are again recognized as chakras said to be situated along the central channel or the Shushumna nadi.

No.	Avarana in Sri Chakra	Nadi_chakra
01	Bhupura	Muladhara
02	Shoidasha dala padma	Svadhistana
03	Ashta_dala padma	Manipura
04	Chaturdasha	Anahatha
05	Bahir _dasha	Vishuddha
06	Antar_dasha	Ajna
07	Ashtara	Manasa-chakra
08	Trikona	Soma_chakra
09	Bindu	Sahasra Padma

The nine avaranas , enclosures that compose Sri Chakra are briefly as under. These are described in the order of absorption (Samhara-krama) according to Dakshinamurthy tradition. It starts with the outermost enclosure-Bhupura- and leads to Bindu , the central point.

!. Bhupura also called Trilokya _mohana_chakra (Deluder of the Realms) , is the four-sided enclosing wall. The three lokas being three levels of experience, attainments, obstructions and powers.They are also  related to the body_mind complex of the devotee.

A tantra design is always enclosed within an outer wall serving as a protective cover. As the devotee enters into the Mandala he leaves behind the nomal woldly distractions and conflicts ; and emigrates into a world of symbols and vizualizations. A Mandala is thus a mansion of gods and goddesses , a symbol of a higher form of existence.

There are actually six gateways to the fort Sri Yantra, if we take a three-dimensional view of it; the four obvious dwaras and those 'above' and 'below'.The Eastern gate is the way of the mantras. The Southern gate is the way of devotion or bhakti. The Western gate is for the performance of rites and rituals, or karma-kanda. The Northern gate is the way of wisdom, or Jnana. The gate 'below' is the 'path of words' while the gate 'above' is the way or 'road of liberation'. These are located at the Southern and Northern gate, respectively, i.e. 'above' is north, 'below' is south. Each of these gates also stands for one of the six primary chakras in the body.

The Bhupura Chakra , the earth stretch , includes within its spacial scope the entire design even as the earth supports the entire existence.Bhupura  is a Shiva aspect and is made up of three lines or ramparts.The first(outermost) line is identified with the attainments of yoga powers called Siddhis.They are needed for self-protection along the inward journey. Such Siddhis are eight in number; and are attained consequent on gaining  control over the elements and the mind.

The second or the middle line represents the powres of eight mother_like divinities Mathrika who rule over emotions such as  passionate longing(Brahmi ), violent anger(Maheshwari), avrice(kaumari) obstenecy(Varahi) etc

The third (inner) line of the square is identified with ten feminine deties , Mudra devathas, carrying seals of authority. The mudras are an approach to the divinities.These could be gross(sthula) being body postures and gestures by hand; subtle(sukshma) by way of seed-mantras; and para transcendental that is mental or intutional approach.

These three lines are also taken to represent the Mother goddess; the outermost line corresponds to her feet; the middle line to her thighs ; and the inner line to her knees.

There are also three concentric circles(trivritta) representing three objectives of life: Dharma , Artha and Kama.

The avarana is Bhoopura and the Chakra is Trailokyamohana chakra ‘enchants the three worlds’. The yogini is Prakata;Mudra is Sarva Somkshibhni;Siddhi is Anima; and  the mental state of the aspirant is Jagrata.The oresiding deity is Tripura . Her Vidya is Am Am Sauh.The gem is topaz. The time is 24 minutes and the Shaktis are 28 that include the ten starting with Anima, the eight starting with Brahmya and the ten Mudra Saktis. 28 is the dominant number.

This avarana corresponds to the feet of the mother goddess.

2.The sixteen petalled lotus(shodasha dala padma) called sarva asha paripuraka chakra , the fulfiller of  all desires , is the second enclosure. In the sixteen   petals , the sixteen vowels of Sanskrit alphabet is inscribed.These symbolize sixteen kalas or aspects or phases. They are also called nithyas and named Kamakarshini (fascinating the desires), Budhyakarshini (fascinating the intellect) etc. These relate to powers in the Five Elements, the ten senses of perception or Indriyas (being further divided into five organs of action and five sense organs) and the Mind. 

The significance of this enclosure is explained as self-protection(atma raksha) of the devotee.Since frustrated desire is the strongest obstacle to spiritual progress, the next stage is wisely concerned with satisfying them. Only he who has experienced can renounce. The values of virtue, wealth and pleasure are granted at this stage.

The craving Asha springs from discontent; and is  quenched when discontent is eliminated. That is possible when devotee  identifies himself with Shiva , ever complete and ever content.

This is acheived by the cultivation or strengthening of power over mind, ego, sound, touch, sight, taste, smell, intellect, steadiness, memory, name, growth, etheric body, revivification, and physical body.

The avarana is Shodasa Dala, and the Chakra is Sarvasaparipuraka chakra ‘fulfills all expectations’; the yogini is Gupta Yogini; Mudra is Sarva Vidravini; the Siddhi is Laghima; and the mental state is Swapna, The presiding deity is Tripureshi. Her vidya is Aim Klim Sauh.The gem is sapphire.The time is three hours.  The Shaktis are the sixteen starting with Kamakarshini.16 is the dominant number.

 This avarana corresponds to the Savdhistana chakra of the mother goddess.

3. Eight petalled lotus (astha dala padma) called Sarva-samkhobhana –Chakra the agitator of all, is the third avarana.Each petal has a consonant inscribed within it that begins with 'Ka'  The petals represent eight divinities associated with erotic urges , independent of physical body(ananga).These relate to mental pleasures derived through five organs and through the modalities of mind: rejection(repulsion or withdrawal), acceptance (attention or attachment) and indifference(detachment).

This enclosure represents the last of the first group of the chakras that symblolzes Shrusti or emanation.

The avarana is ashta dala; The Chakra is Sarvasamkshobana chakra ‘agitates all’. The Yogini is Gupta_ tara; Mudra is Sarvakarshini; the Siddhi is Mahima; and the mental state is Shushupti. The Presiding deity is Tripura Sundari. Her vidya is Hrim Klim Sauh.The gem is cat's eye.The time is day and night .the Shaktis are the eight starting with Ananga Kusuma. 8 is the diminant number.

This avarana corresponds to the navel region of mother goddess.

4. Fourteen triangles(chaturdasha trikona) called sarva sowbhagya dayaka , the bestower of all prosperity is the fourth enclosure. This is in the form of a complex figure made up of fourteen triangles. The fourteen triangles are inscribed with fourteen consonants beginning with ka and ending with dha.The fourteen corners represent fourteen powers of mother goddess. These are said to preside over fourteen principle channels of vital forces  in human body(naadis) corresponding with fourteen powers Sarva _Samkshobhini and others.

They are also related to the seat of Shaktis who represent: the Mind (Manas), the Intellect (Buddhi), Being (Chitta), the Conscious Ego (Ahamkara) and the ten Indriyas.

This enclosure refers to the channels of life currents in the human body(prana) and their identity with the aspects of Sri Chakra.The explanation given in Tantra texts is that the breathing in human body is influenced by five elements present in the body; and in turn those five elements are influenced by the manner we breathe.Normally , we breathe 360 times in a unit of time called nadika( equivalent to 24 minutes). A day (dina) consists 60 such nadikas.Therefore , in a day(24 hours) we breathe 21,600 times.The collection of all breathes is mother goddess herself.This is called nadi_chakra , the organization of winds within the body.The distribution of breathes among the body centers is as follows:

Chakra	Number of Breathes	Time taken Hrs-mins-sec
Muladhara	0,600	00-40-00
Svadhistana	6,000	06-40-00
Manipura	6,000	06-40-00
Anahata	6,000	06-40-00
Vishuddha	1,000	01-06-40
Ajna	1,000	01-06-40
Sahasra	1,000	01-06-40
Total	21,600	24-00-00

                                                           

The navel is the central point for distribution of all breathes and life forces moving along the channels. Normally breath alternates between the ida channel reaching the left nostril and pingala the channel reaching the right nostril. The former is moon principle and cools the body; and the latter is sun principle warms the body. The two meet at muladhara, close to kundalini. Around this central channel is a network of 72,000 channels of which the more important are the 14 mentioned earlier in this paragraph. These are referred also as 14 divinities. In this avarana the number 14 is dominant.

Sri Chakra is also described as the diagrammatic representation of the cycle of time (kaala chakra) and of the chakras in human system.

The Avarana is Chaturdasara; the Chakra is Sarva soubhagya dayaka chakra, ‘grants excellence’. The Yogini is Sampradaya Yogini; the Mudra is Sarva Shankari; the Siddhi is Ishitva The mental state is Iswara Vichara. the presiding deity is Tripura Vasini. Her vidya is is Haim Hklim Hsauh.The gem is coral.The time is day and night . The Shaktis are the fourteen starting with Samkshobhini.14 is the dominant number.

This avarana corresponds to the heart of mother goddess.

5.Ten-sided figure (bahir_dasara) called Sarvartha Sadhaka chakra (accomplisher of all objects) consisting ten triangles , is the fifth avarana. It is named “ the outer ten cornered figure”(bahir dasar) inorder to distinguish it from a similar figure enclosed within it.

The ten triangles in this avarana house ten auspicious deties , such as Sarva siddhi prada, Sarva sampath prada, Sarva priyamkari, Sarva mangala karini and so on. The five of the triangles are inscribed with consonants beginiing with Ka; and the other five triangles are inscribed with consonants beginning with Cha..These represent ten powers of mother goddess who presides over ten vital forces pranas active in the body.The idea of vayu the winds  or vital currents is fundamental to the concept of channels.

The vital currents are divided into two groups : prana_panchaka and naga_panchaka.The first group consista prana, apana, vyana,udanaand samana vayus.These are responsible for body functions such as respiration, blodd circulation , digestion, voice and seperation of nutrients from food etc.

The second group consists vital currents such as naga,kurma, krkara, devadatta and dhananjaya.These are involved in body movemen like belching, yawning movement of eyelids,causing various sounds in the body. The Dhanajaya vayu , it is said, is the last to leave the body at its death. In this avarana the number ten is dominanat.

The Avarana is Bahirdasara; the Chakra is Sarvarthasadhakachakra, the ‘accomplisher of all’. The Yogini is Kulotteerna yogini;; the Mudra is Sarvonmadini; and the Siddhi is Vashitva. The mental state is Guroopa Sadanam. The presiding deity is Tripura Shri. Her vidya is is Haim Hklim Hsauh.The gem is pearl.The time is lunar day. The Shaktis are the ten starting with Sarva Siddhi Prada.10 is the dominant number.

 This avarana corresponds to the neck of mother goddess.

6.Ten sided figure (antar dasara) called Sarva raksha karaka ( one that protects all ) consisting ten triangles is the sixth avarana. It is named antar dasara , the inner ten cornered figure , since it is placed within a similar ten cornered figure , mentioned earlier.

The ten triangles are inscribed with ten consonants beginning with the five of Tha and the five of Ta group. They represent the powers of the mother goddess who presides over ten vital fires (vanyaha).These represent  the ten  specific fires within the body;  being the fire of purgation (Rechak), digestion (Pachak), absorption (Shoshak), burning (Dahak), the secretion of enzymes (Plavak), acidification (Ksharak), to take out or excrete (Uddharak), the fires of pessimism and frustration (Kshobhak), the fire of assimilation (Jrambhak) and creating luster (Mohak).

This enclosure is the third of the secong group of chakras representing Preservation. The advent of inner realization begins here.The significancew of this avarana is explained as protection from all obstacles.The devotee distances himself from all that hinders his spiritual progress ; and he begins to  develop an awareness he is Shiva( the consciousness).

The significance of this enclosure is its power to eradicate the most basic disease viz. involvement with impure , fleeting existence that is laden with stress. The blessed state is attained when the distinctions between the subject, the object and transactions between them are dissolved.

The Four Weapons

In between the mandalas of eight triangles and the central triangles are the four weapons -- flowery bow, flowery arrows, noose(pasha) and goad(ankusha). They are red in color.They are the wepons of both the mother goddess as Kameshwari and also of Shiva as Kameshwara.

8.The primary triangle with its apex downward(East) and colored white(Sattva) sorrounding immediately around the central point , Bindu , is the eigth avarana. It is called Sarva Siddhi prada chakra , the one that bestows all accomplishment. This triangle does not intersect with other triangles; and stands independent.It is Kama Kala. It is femine in its aspect; and represents three fundamental manifestations of the mother goddess: Kameshwari (symbolizing moon - creation); Vajreshwari (symbolizing sun- preservation); and Bhagamalini (symbolizing fire -dissolution).

The three angles of the triangle also represent three forms of speech : Pashyanthi,Madhyama and Vaikhari. The triangle is therefore the speech aspect Vak Bhava.

It also represents the three powers of iccha (will) , jnana (knowledge) and kriya(activity).The three corners of the triangle stand for three peaks(kuta) of the fifteen_lettered mantra; or as three dimensions of all existence. The triangle itself is regarded the abode of the mother goddess (kama_kala).

The Avarana is Trikona; the Chakra is Sarvasiddhiprada chakra, ‘grants all attainments’. the Yogini is Athi Rahasya Yogini;the Mudra is Sarva Beeja; and the Siddhi is Iccha. The mental state is Nitidhyasana. The presiding deity is Tripuraamba. Her vidya is is Hsraim Hsrklim Hsrsauh..The gem is Gomaya .The time is a ritu- two months. The Shaktis are the three starting with Kameshwari. (4+3=7)is the dominant number.

This avarana corresponds to the top of the head (masthka) of the mother goddess.

9.The ninth enclosure is strictly not an enclosure. It is the central dimensionless point , the Bindu . It is called Sarvananda_maya chakra , the supremely blissfull one.  It is independent of the intersecting triangles.It is colored red.This, in a temple, would be the sanctum sanctorum, with all the other circles or enclosures representing various parts of the temple as you move inwards.

 It is this Bindu that is in reality the Sri Chakra;  it represents the mother goddess Maha Tripura Sundari , Lalitha or Rajarajeshwari hersef ; and everything else is a manifestation of her  aspects.

The goddess is nothing other than the devotees own self.The self here does not refer to jiva , engaged in organizing the body, mind and senses.The self here refers to individual conciousness(buddhi) which is beyond the body-mind complex. It is filled with all bliss(sarvananda maya). This constant , abundant bliss is the epression of the union of Shiva( consciousness) and Shakthi (power of deliberation Vimarsha). It is the very basis of existence. it is called beautiful , sundara , in this sense. It is in this sense the supreme mother goddess is called Maha Tripurasundari.

The significance of this avarana is the complete harmony(samarasya) of principles of pure consciousness (Shiva) and the principle of energy as deliberation(vimarsha shakthi).It signifies a state of nondualty, where all tendencies of approach and withdrawal become nonexistent,  dissolve in a state in which the devotee ultimately rests.Bliss , in Tantra , is explained as resting in oneself(Svarupa pratishta).

There is also a school which propounds that the central point is composed of three dots or drops(Bindu traya) representing three fires(vanhi): Moon(soma);Sun(surya); and Fire(Agni).The top dot symbolizes the head of the deity; and the pair of dots at the bottom symboloze the breasts of the Mother.It is explained that the central point expandin into the three is an act of swelling(ucchuna); and that is how the central point becomes the primary triangle in Sri Chakra.

The avarana is the Bindu and the Chakra is Sarvanandamaya chakra, ‘replete with bliss’. The yogini is parathi para Rahasya; the Mudra is sarva yoni; and the Siddhi is Prapthi. The mental state is Savikalpa Samadhi. The presiding deity is her Transcendent Majesty Lalita Maheshvari Mahatripurasundari. Her vidya is Kamaraja vidya : ka e i la hrim ha sa ka ha la hrim sa ka la hrim, plus a secret 16th syllable.The gem is ruby. The time is year. The Shakti is Maha Tripura Sundari the personification of Brahman.

 This avarana corresponds to Brahma_randra on the top of the head of the mother goddess.

Traveling from the outer periphery wall to the inner bindu is an ascent through various levels of consciousness and mystical significance, overcoming myriad obstacles of conditioning and fears along the way. As he proceeds inward from the outermost enclosure the devotee’s thoughts are gradually refined; and the association of ideas is gradually freed from the constraints of conventional reality.The Devi is felt or visualized in his heart and then drawn out through the breath and installed in the yantra. She is then worshipped as actually residing there. The true home of Devi is  however in his  heart .The devotee identifies himself with the Devi and goes through the worship guided by the symbolism. Whatever be the details , the symbolism involved is important in the external worship ; and more so in internal worship( contemplation on the import of the chakra). 

Sri Chakra is also a contruct of space and time, just as the universe is a space time continum. The way of the universe is continious and consitant change. That change , in a relative existence , is measured by the phases of moon . Mother goddes is the principle of time ; she is kala or nitya. The Sri Chakra also puts forth the interdependence of time and space. The devotee views the evolution of the universe as the unfolding of a changeless reality of Mother goddess




.

The Sri Chakra represents the interplay of the purusha and prakriti; the universe and its energy. The union of the Devi (energy) and Shiva (consciousness) worshipped in Sri Chakra is the universe and its evolution. The universe is trhus stylized into a pattern of energies, symbolized by the patterns and layout of Sri Chakra.It provides a model to the individual for transformation . The conciousness of the individual finds in it an articulation; and the model helps in breaking the barriers of subjective feelings and limitations of the objective world. The devotee identifies that  his body is the Sri Chakra or the universe in epitome; and that TheYantra too is the Devi. The aim is to realize that oneness, the bliss of pure consciousness.
