CHAKRA AND HUMAN BODY The body may be divided into two main parts, namely the head and trunk on one hand and the legs on the other. In man the centre of the body is between these two, at the base of the spine where the legs begin. Supporting the trunk and throughout the whole body, there is the spinal cord. This is the axis of the body, just as Mount Meru is the axis of the Earth. Hence man’s spine is called Meru-danda, the Meru or axis. The Sri Chakra, is represented in the form of Meru. There is no differentiation existing between the Sri Chakra and the human body. The human body encases a spark of the Divine as its living, The soul and Sri Chakra being a radiation from the Divine in the form of light. In this way way both Sri Chakra and the human body are one and the same. First line of Bhupura The meditation starts from the outer most Chakra of Sri Chakra. In the first line of the Bhupura are situated the Siddhis: anima minuteness, laghima lightness, mahima greatness, isitva lordship, vasitva control, prakamya power to have whatever one wants, bhukti enjoyment, iccha desire, prapti attainment and sarva kama siddhi the accomplishment of all desires.

Avyakta the unmanifest, Mahat the vast cosmic principle of Force and Ahankara the divisional principle of Ego-formation are the three deities in the primary triangle, Kameswari, Vajreswari and Bhagamalini. Thus the identity is established part by part, limb by limb between the human body and Sri-Chakra. The meditation proceeds from the outermost to the innermost being the very soul of the Sadhaka. The most fundamental archetype of our universe is the Sri Chakra. Sri means supreme and Chakra means circular structure. The Sri Chakra exists as a three-dimensional construct within which all evolving beings exist. One of the most important functions of the Sri Chakra is to act as a communications device – much like an antenna – that connects the individual mind with the Mind of the Creator, Lord Brahma.
