Guest guest Report post Posted February 29, 2004 Namasakar. Sri Chakra is the sukshma rupa of divine mother , represents the cosmos, a gift of divine mother to be used for realising our hidden power -- the result is our salvation. It is said that after one having done upasana to various other forms of divine during the past births and who has tread the path towards light and truth, in the last birth by virtue of our samskaras, we get an opportunity to do the "Sri Chakra Puja " and become adhikari to receive her grace. Let our reverence make us worthy of Her grace. To understand Her we need to turn inwards with a spiritual gaze and quest with an intutive heart. As sathya Sai Baba said Quote : "" After long searches here and there, in temples and in churches, in earths and heavens, at last you come back completing the circle from where you started, to your own soul and find that HE ( SHE in our case ) for whom you have been seeking all over the world, for whom you have been weeping and praying in churches and temples, on whom you were looking as the mystery of all mysteries shrouded in the nearest of the near, is YOUR OWN SELF, the reality of your life, body and soul. That is your own nature. Assert it, Manifest it. -- it is truth and truth alone. "" Sathya Sai Baba ( Baba very rarely speaks in English and in this case he has written it in English with his own beautiful and Divine Handwriting about 50 yrs back.) We are relating this Sri Chakra in our physical body and She is present in the six adhara chakras as kundalini maha shakthi and has corresponding relationship with the Nava Varanas of the Sri chakra. Chakras in our body are conscious centres and sources of all the dynamic powers of ours organising their actions through the plexes -- the series from the lowest physical to the highest mind centre to the spiritual centre called the sahasrara or the thousand petalled lotus. The serpent power of the kundalini meets the Brahaman in sahasrara and the being is liberated from the cycles of births and deaths. ** PRAKATA YOGINI *** Prakata yoginis are those who are extremely perceptible and visible as the manifested world. we have three bodies viz sthula--gross, sukshma -- subtle, and karana-- the causal. shakthi is pervasive in all the three. when we are awake they function openly and come out from the gross physical body in a big way. they come out of indriyas, undergo different experiences. the gross body, the indriyas, mind,vishayas that feel the pleasures and pain of life are the result of the external experiences. All these are made aware by this shakthi is when we are awake and therefore called " Prakata yoginis" The seat of inspiration is Muladhara , the seat of coiled dormant serpent kundalini -- the Yogini is " Sakini " . she resides in the four petalled lotus, five faced, three eyed, smoke coloured, presiding over the bones. she has the in her hands the elepant hook, lotus, book, gynamudra attended by other deities like sree,shanda,varadha and saraswathi. With the grace of sakini with the body and mind used as instruments we have the potential of knowing our real SELF. *** GUPTA YOGINI ***** Gupta means secret and true to this the guptha yoginis are those who remain secretly hidden. they do not come out into the material physical body but are manifest in the vital sheath and function secretly like the mind caught in a dream state. the swapna derives its experiences in this state of consciousness swadishtanam. the Yogini is " KAKINI ". Resides in the six petalled lotus, four faced, three eyed, bearing in her hands the trident, the noose, skull, and abhaya, presiding over the fat and lymphs attened by other deities who are six --- panthini, bhadrakali, mahamaya, yasavini, raktha and lamboshti.
