What is Sri Chakras
It is said that in the beginning God, who was one, wanted to become many and enjoy himself. As the first step to creation, he created Devi – the total cosmic Female Force. For the male part, out of his left, he created Shiva, out of his middle he created Brahma and out of his right he created Vishnu. That is why many regard the Devi as stronger than the Trinities and hence She is called Parashakti or Paradevi – Para meaning beyond. Brahma created the universe.
Vishnu controls and runs the universe. Shiva along with Shakti is engaged in the eternal dissolution and recreation of the universe. The Bindu in the center of the Shreechakra Yantra is the symbolic representation of the cosmic spiritual union of Shiva and Shakti. Apart from the power of Shreechakra, it also embodies a countless number of deities and represents the whole of creation. Hence by worshipping the Devi in Shreechakra Pooja, one is actually worshipping the highest ultimate force in the Tantrik form.

Sri Chakra Stotram and Sri Chakra Meaning
At one time the Shodashi Vidya was one of the most guarded secrets of Tantra. Usually, the Guru used to give it to a highly deserving and tested disciple. Very few used to get it. Even in the Mantra Shastra, where all other tantras are openly and clearly given, the Shodashi Vidya is not directly given. Several hints about the Shree chakra mantra are given and you are asked to get the mantra if you are capable and deserving. The opening verses of the Mantra Shastra chapter on Shreechakra Yantra Mantra say, “Your head can be given, your soul can be given but the Shodashi Vidya of the Devi can not be given”. However, times have changed and the rules of Tretayuga are no longer applicable now. Anyone how wishes to worship HER can do it even without a guru. You don’t need a guru to give you mantra Deeksha. In the olden days, there were no books to learn and even the palm leaf writings were few so a guru was necessary. So forget the rules of Treta Yuga and accept Devi and Shiva (as Guru of the world Dakshinamurty) as your Gurus and practice with faith and you will get their blessings.

Sri Chakra Explanation
The simple Shri Chakra Puja will bring prosperity in your lives. Before starting the worship it is advisable to know about the way the Sri Chakra Yantra is constructed, what all it represents, about the 9 Avaranas, the deities, their gunas, and significance, so that your worship is more meaningful. The following are the authentic details as given in various Tantra & Mantra scriptures.
Five downward pointing triangles representing Devi intersect with four upward pointing triangles representing Siva, forming 43 triangles including the central triangle.
From the five Shakti triangles comes creation and from the four Shiva triangles comes the dissolution. The union of five Shaktis and four Fires causes the creation of Shree chakra Yantra.
At the center of the bindu of the Shri Chakra Yantra is Kamakala, which has three bindus. One is red, one is white, and one is mixed. The red bindu is Kurukulla the Female form, the white bindu is Varahi the Male form, and the mixed bindu is the union of Shiva & Shakti – the individual as the potential Shri Chakra. Varahi, the father form, gives four dhatus to the child and Kurukulla, the mother-form, gives five dhatus to the child. These represent the nine dhatus of the human body.
Varahi’s four fires are the 12 (4 x 3) sun Kalas, the 12 Zodiac constellations. Kurukulla’s five triangles are the 15 (5 x 3) Kalas of the moon, 15 lunar Tithis.
These nine triangles also represent the nine stages of growth of the human child in the womb. Surrounding the 43 triangles formed by the intersection of the nine triangles is the 16 petals circle. Surrounding the 16 petal circle is an 8 petal circle. After that the 3 lines and at the outermost part of the Sri Chakra Yantra, there are 3 lines called the Bhupura.
The 43 triangles constitute the six inner sections called Avaranas, the two circles of petals are two more avaranas, and the Bhupura of 3 lines is the last Avarana.
These 9 Avaranas of the Sri Chakra Yantra have many presiding Devis. They are the Devi’s Parivar (retinue) of total 108. In the Srichakra pooja, they are systematically worshiped one by one with their names and mantras. The presiding Deity of Sreechakra pooja, Devi, is Known as Lalita Tripura Sundari. The form of Devi Kamakshi of Kancheepuram is the closest resemblance of the Devi as described in the scriptures.
