| From Guruji Amritananda |
| |
| I studied Sri Vidya. I built a major Sri Chakra Temple. I have practiced Sri Chakra Puja/Tantra every day for 33 years in a row. I think I understand it enough to dare to simplify its content, not compromising its purity of intent. |
| |
| We live in three bodies. The physical, lotus, and yantra. The king of yantras is called Sri yantra. Nirvana is the process of moving from physical to lotus body and lotus to Yantra body. Nirvana means to cut the causal chain forcing us to get rebirth. The soul may still decide to come down by choice as an avatar. |
| |
| As I understand, the upasana of Sri Chakra has 3 streams called Sri Kram, Lalita kram and Navavaran. We have given the name Triveni Kalpa for this new version based on Sri Vidya. |
| |
| The first part is Sri Kram, where immortality is invoked into a fluid in a holy vessel. The vessel is called visesha patra. But the best vessel we can think of is our own body. The vital fluid in it is the life itself. |
| |
| To make the gross physical body fit to receive nectar, first we need to remove its grossness by connecting it to the lotus body. One very good way to do it is to touch each point of physical body with a vibrator as we are saying the mantra in all the lotuses. The vibrations should be strong enough to go to the petal and force attention there, but not so strong as to cause discomfort. It is much better to use the vibrator than just think about it. Use of vibrator is an innovation to cut the time required to activate all chakras. |
| |
| Normally we would use Datta mantra for 16 petals of visuddhi, Krishna for 12 of Anahata and so on. But why use different mantras? Guru mantra has all mantras in it. Why not use it alone? This is another innovation. We use the mantra of trinity in the form “ Om am hrim krom ehyehi dattatreyaya svaha”. We use it 16 times round neck, 12 times round chest, 10 around waist, 6 around yoni and 4 in womb and 3 in the eyes. |
| |
| In preparing nectar, we invoke fire, sun and moon. We also invoke the powers of creating new ideas, preserving the best ones, destroying evil, powers which are concentrated and diffused into the body. Brahma, Vishnu, Rudra, Iswara, Sadsiva are these powers. In this kalpa, we use pictures saving thousands of words, directly into the charkas of womb, yoni, navel, chest and neck. We invoke the compassionate look of the mother into her eyes; she can give life back by a mere look. We invoke all these and more powers into the vessel, the person receiving empowerment. We tell that all is the creator, the creator is in the creation; one life animates all, even if forms differ. And then the panchamrits are given making the person a divine being. |
| |
| The second stream is a massage, bath and a beauty treatment, worship and food offerings. Here we think of the lady as Lalita Herself. |
| |
| The last stream is to keep the greatest of yantras, the Sri Chakra near the yoni and worship it with Khadgamala, the limbs of Goddess Sri Chakra. The Sri Chakra is formed when four male principles unite with five female principles. The fifth transcendent goddess who is Herself the guru blesses all this. The person gets fully empowered, and receives worship as a living God/Goddess. It is the ultimate honor and fulfillment to receive worship for your divinity. |
| |
| The Offering: From beginning to end the process just takes half-hour to an hour. Every seeker will be able to commit this much of time. It is our fond hope that people will really enjoy this new Triveni Kalpa, do it every day, and reach nirvana. That is our samkalpa and blessing: Soubhagya for all of us. |
