Ganesha — the elephant-deity riding a mouse — has become one of the commonest mnemonics for anything associated with Hinduism. ... He is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. ... The elephant head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents Om, the sound symbol of ... Ganesha is Vighneshvara or Vighnaraja or Vighnaharta (Marathi), the Lord of Obstacles, both of a material and spiritual order. He is popularly worshipped as a remover of obstacles, though traditionally he also places obstacles in the path of those who need to be checked. Lord Ganesha is embodiment of three virtues namely Buddhi, Siddhi and Riddhi known as wisdom, spirituality and prosperity respectively. Lord Ganesha is the personification of Buddhi Himself. The other two virtues are personified as Goddesses and considered to be the consorts of Lord Ganesha. Most of the art works show Ganesha flanked by two consorts who are named as Riddhi and Siddhi. It is believed that Riddhi and Siddhi were daughters of Lord Brahma who himself conducted wedding ceremony of Lord Ganesha. Parvati is a form of Devi, the Parashakti (Supreme Energy). In the human body She resides in the Muladhara chakra as the Kundalini Shakti. It is said that when we purify ourselves, ridding ourselves of the impurities that bind us, then the Lord automatically comes. This is why Shiva, the Supreme Lord, came unannounced as Parvati was bathing. Next step is Syama (Rajasyamala)....

24th November Rajasyamala homam at Prashant nagar,Malkajgiri, Secendrabad... Syama :Matangi is one of the Mahavidyas, ten Tantric goddesses and a ferocious aspect of Devi, the Hindu Divine Mother. She is considered to be the Tantric form of Sarasvati, the goddess of music and learning. Like Sarasvati, Matangi governs speech, music, knowledge and the arts. Her worship is prescribed to acquire supernatural powers, especially gaining control over enemies, attracting people to oneself, acquiring mastery over the arts and gaining supreme knowledge. Matangi is often associated with pollution, inauspiciousness and the periphery of Hindu society, which is embodied in her most popular form, known as Ucchishta-Chandalini or UcchishtaMatangini. She is described as an outcaste (Chandalini) and offered left-over or partially eaten food (Ucchishta) with unwashed hands or food after eating, both of which are considered to be impure in classical Hinduism.
Matangi is often represented as emerald green in colour. While Ucchishta-Matangini carries a noose, sword, goad, and club, her other well-known form, Raja-Matangi, plays the veena and is often pictured with a parrot. Syama : Raja Matangi is the Minister - Mantrini of Goddess lalitha Parameshwari. She was created by Lalitha from HER sugar cane bow during HER battle with Bandasura. She rules the Empire(the Cosmos) on behalf of “Para Bhattarika” Herself as indicated in Lalitha Sahasranam as “Mantrini Nyasta raajya dhoo” and also bears the sovereign Mudra modiram (the ring of the Queen). Matangi represents the mind and its activities. 'Vishanga', who represents the crooked mind was killed by HER. She has eight arms holding: paddy-past karmas, lotus-mind in worldly activity, paasha -love, ankusaanger, japa mala and books - knowledge, and the veena -yoga. Her right foot is down indicating must do sadhana in the world by looking at her manifestation. The devotees of Matangi is known to be blessed with Her grace of proficiency in poetry, Music, Dancing and other fine arts—thus they become highly learned in their chosen field. Varahi : Varahi as a very powerful and active Goddess who destroys evil forces, protects spiritual aspirants, and grants wishes. According to her mythology, she is commander of the forces of the mothergoddess, symbolizing the might of SriVidya (knowledge of yogas, rituals and devotional service). As Varahi she destroys evil forces that obstructs the devotees progress, paralyses the enemies, and leads the devotees ultimately to Sri-Vidyas. Varahi represents the new-moon and the illumination aspects of the mother-goddess. Varahi is also said to be one of the Yoginis, taking the form of a boar. She is said to lift up the earth with her tusks to confer benefits on all creatures. About Sri Vidya..... The concept of Sri forms the entire Hindu-buddhist civilization, directly or indirectly, quite often in small segments and powers. However, even in this area of ancient civilizations, with the exception of, say, one in half a billion people, no one really understands what Sri Vidya is because learning Sri Vidya is not like mastering any of the sciences, it is mastering one's own self. It is God's science of the universe, God's science of self-knowledge, that very self-knowledge where God within us also knows Herself. The highest tantric practices are the ten schools of mahavidya (the great knowledge), and among them Sri Vidya is the most complete and comprehensive. (The practices related to the other nine maha vidyas are subsumed, directly or indirectly, in Sri Vidya.)
The goal of Sri Vidya is to give the aspirant a direct experience of the primordial life-force, or shakti, that holds all the cells and molecules of the body in place. This life-force is endowed with intrinsic intelligence; its vibration animates all creation; all forms of energy and matter emerge from it. And because this shakti vibrates in all aspects of creation, there is a perfect synchronicity among all forms of life. By unveiling the mystery of this life-force, Sri Vidya adepts are able to understand the relationship between the different parts of the body, between the body and the mind, between humans and plants, and ultimately between the microcosm and the macrocosm. When the adepts discovered how to access this shakti and the domain of matter and energy animated by it they were able to pinpoint the precise nature and characteristics of the forces governing our anatomy and physiology as well as all other aspects of nature. And to communicate this knowledge to those who had not had the direct experience, tantrics referred to these forces as "deities," explaining that any deity (force) that dwells within us also dwells outside us. The deity that governs the formation of the human fetus, for example,also governs the germination of a seed. By knowing the nature of the force that regulates the development of the fetus we can also know the nature of the force that regulates the sprouting of a seed, and vice versa. This is the basic premise underlying all tantric thinking. The tantrics developed another method of communicating their knowledge: yantras, or diagrams that express a practice visually. Just as modern scientists have developed equations such as E=mc2 to communicate their knowledge, so have the tantrics developed equations to communicate theirs yantras are equations expressed in the language of geometry. There are hundreds of yantras,some simple, some extremely complex.The most comprehensive of all is Sri Yantra (also called Sri Chakra), which contains the entire doctrine and practice of Sri Vidya. Sri yantra: Sri yantra, also known as Sri Chakra, is called the mother of all yantras because all other yantras derive from it. In its three dimensional forms Sri Yantra is said to represent Mount Meru, the cosmic mountain at the center of the universe. The Sri Yantra is conceived as a place of spiritual pilgrimage. It is a representation of the cosmos at the macrocosmic level and of the human body at the microcosmic level (each of the circuits correspond to a chakra of the body). The Sri Yantra is a configuration of nine interlocking triangles, surrounded by two circles of lotus petals with the whole encased within a gated frame, called the "earth citadel". The nine interlocking triangles centered around the bindu (the central point of the yantra) are drawn by the superimposition of five downward pointing triangles, representing Shakti ; the female principle and four upright triangles, representing Shiva ; the male principle. The nine interlocking triangles form forty three small triangles each housing a presiding deity associated with particular aspects of existence
Man's spiritual journey from the stage of material existence to ultimate enlightenment is mapped on the Sri Yantra. The spiritual journey is taken as a pilgrimage in which every step is an ascent to the center, a movement beyond one's limited existence, and every level is nearer to the goal. Such a journey is mapped in stages, and each of these stages corresponds with one of the circuits of which the Sri Yantra is composed from the outer plane to the bindu in the center. The Sri Yantra is a tool to give a vision of the totality of existence, so that the adept may internalize its symbols for the ultimate realization of his unity with the cosmos. The goal of contemplating the Sri Yantra is that the adept can rediscover his primordial sources. The circuits symbolically indicate the successive phases in the process of becoming.

As per Kalavahana, Every Cell (randramu) in the Human Body are the areas of the heighest density of energy ("Shakthi Peetham") and therefore these are easiest places to exchange energy with the Divine cosmic energy.

We are all suffering from some problem or other all the time whether created by ourselves or the society we live in. Society demands conformity. We are punished if we do not conform to its standards. Most of the time we can’t solve our problem all by ourselves. We do need help. First, we do seek and get help from people known to us. But the people we know are very limited, may be a thousand in the entire human population. Next we consult internet to get help. Even that cannot solve if nature is disruptive. Nature can be violent as for example in extremes of heat and cold, tsunamis, volcanoes, hurricanes, and breakdowns of power and communications. Nature can also be wonderful and lovable when controlled. We can get unlimited abundance and powers not only from people, but also from all of nature when controlled. We call unseen controllers of Nature powers as Devas and Devis. To get help form Nature, we have to follow its law: first we have to sow before we can reap. It means we have to give first before we can get help from to controllers of nature. Help from Goddess Nature is what we really need to solve all our problems and enjoy our life in peace. We have to move from I as an individual to we as an individual. We have to join as a team and work towards a common goal. One common goal can be empowering each one of us and the team. To achieve this goal, we can
create a simple team building fun event near our own homes. 2. How can we design such an event? Suppose we first draw a geometrical diagram which can attract all benign powers of nature . Such power diagrams are well known in all cultures as mandalas or chakras. Let us put each participant’s life force into a light placed in its centre. Into that light, we call powers of Fire, Sun and Moon, and all elements including time. Then we invite the unending happiness flowing from blending all feminine graces and masculine powers. Then we invoke compassion into eyes, music into speech, nectar of love into its heart and creative powers into its womb. We share in fun what we have and get what we really need to solve our problems. Suppose 100 of join as a team. Each one of us gives one unit of life energy into the center light. When we take it back into us, every one of us receives 100 units of pure life energy. The team receives 100x100 life energies. Such is the potency of power working in team work. By letting go of alienation from each other, we glow with love, grace and power, sharing and caring for each of us. Our life becomes that much easier because all around us are fields of love, light and laughter. 3. We call such event Siri Jotis meaning abundant lights: emitting rainbow shades of love. The procedure is easy to learn and easy to do. It comes from ancient wisdom called Srividya, It is time tested. It can be learned in just a day and done in 4 hrs once a month. 1 hr for drawing, one hr for decoration with lights, flowers and snacks, one hr for calling in powers of nature along with its controllers, and one hr of fun and sharing with music and dance. It is spreading like an expanding like a wave front enveloping our globe. Interested to learn more? Please make sure you visit the website www.devipuram.com .

of the Sri Chakra puja, it honors the God/dess in each participant moving us closer to the revelation of the intrinsic truth of the divinity within us all. This puja combines the Mantra (sound form) and Yantra (geometric form) through the vehicle of Tantra. We gather as community, draw and decorate a central yantra with flowers and grains, then offer our individual lights to the central flame.

We call upon the forces of the cosmos, first the celestial lights of Fire, Sun and Moon, followed by the wild aspects of the five elements, then followed by the forces that control them. We bring these forces into our bodies, from the base to the crown. Then we invite in the nectar, bringing the grace of Siva and Shakti into our crown and the Goddesses of Speech (Saraswati), Love (Lakshmi) and Passion (Devi) into their respective homes in our physical bodies; mouth, breast, genitals... Now that our vessel has been cleansed and purified we
transfer our own divine energies into center of the chakra where they are energized and amplified and receive worship by the group.
