SRI CHAKRA RAHASYAM

In the very beginning, before even the emergence of Space

and time, Para Brahman The Universal Consciousness or
GOD existed as a CONCEPT in the dimensionless BINDU
which is independent of space and time.
The Parabrahman is EVER-EXISTENT and is described as
SAT.
The whole universe, consisting of both living and non-living
matter has come out / evolved / got created from this
Parabrahman. Logically, a living entity can not come from a
non-living entity. Hence Parabrahman must also be some
form of a life Principle.
Thus the parabrahman is also described as CHIT --
CONSCIOUS.
The Universe operates with an astounding accuracy
according to pre determined and well defined laws, without
any catastrophic events. Because of this, even the nuclear
scientists and Astro-physicists who were once Atheists, are
now concluding that this universe with all its variety of living
and non-living entities and dynamic phenomenon of
formation and dissolution of stars, rotation and revolution of
planets and moons with such great accuracy could not have
come out of an accident. In fact in nature, there is nothing
like a random event. Every thing, billions and billions of
events, seem to operate with some predetermined purpose.
Karanam is the

ANANDA or BLISS is i

All the activities in Universe are Blissful activities of the

Universal consciousness because every event successfully
ends paving the way for the successive event.
Thus the nature of Parabrahman is BLISS -- ANANDA.
To sum up .THE NATURE OF PARABRAHMAN IS SAT, CHIT &
ANANDA

SRI CHAKRA RAHASYAM

(Incorporating some views from Bhashyam of Kamakala
vilasa Chitvalli & its Hindi translation Sarojini published by
Chowkamba Vidya Bhavan)
Reference Pages from 83 to 96 from the bhashyam book.
-- Kamakala vilasa Slokas 22 to 26.
Some Noteworthy Concepts--There is no difference at the root level between Bindu and
Trikonam.
Bindu manifests (PariNamam) itself as Thrikonam.
Bindu is kAraNam and TrikoNam is kAryam.
The relationship between them is that of cause and effect.
Bindu is space and nAda is triangle.
Bindu is conceptually referred to as Anything and Every
thing - that is the cause for unfolding itself into three
elements. Thus Bindu is the MoolAdhAram for three peetams
(kAmagiri, PoorNagiri, jAlandara),
three Gurus (Mitresa,
shashteeSa, uddeeSa), three powers of SivavAmA, jyeshtA
& raudri, the three basic forms of ShaktiicchA, gnyAna &
kriyA, the three manifestations of nAda (paSyanthi,
madhyamA, vaikari) etc.
Bindu is beyond conceptual comprehension / transcending
every thing Even transcending Siva & Shakti thathvas. It is

referred to as Para Brahman in Vedanta or simply as

PARA or PARAMAYAM in K.K.V. Sloka 22.
Another concept detailed in K.K.V. Sloka 22 is ucchoonam
meaning Flowering / Unfolding from within. From the
principle of bindu every thing unfolds itself Threefold from
within.
Sloka 22 & 23 to be typed in Sanskrit
As per Sri ThrimSikA SAstra, from within ParA Bindu. -Out of Anutthara-Ananda- srujana-iccha -- SrungAra
thrikoNam - A beautiful triangle of visargAnandammanifests. The sets of triads are iccha, gnyAna & kriyA
Shakti -- paSyanthi, madhyama & vaikari pramANam,
pramAtha & pramEya.
K.K.V. refers to kAmakalA as ParamA kalA i.e. kalA of ParA
or ParA Shakti. Kamakala Shakti is also referred to as
Atma SpuraNa spanda The creative urge to look within
for experiencing Ananda.
One more concept that emerges is vaikari viSva vigrahA
Sabda srushti happens first out of primordial sound nAda
which manifests itself (ghanee bhootham) into physical
world.
Taking into account the above concepts, the kAmakalA
vilAsam explains creation from bindu as follows.
PARAAMAYAM BINDU --- Sloka 22
ParA bindu is a transcendental concept. This refers to
NirguNa -- guNAtheetha -- para brahman (as per VedAnta
also). Creation has not yet begun. The entire prapancham is
parA bindu prapancham --which is described as the THREE
attributes of Para Siva.
SILENCE -- (niSsabda prapancham)

BLISSFUL PEACE -- Santhi

STILLNESS -- Nischalam / No movement / No activity)
1)

BLISSFUL PEACE in the STILLNESS of SILENCE (9TH

Av)

2)

ANUTTHARA SRUJANA ANANDA SPANDA

3)

SRUNGARA THRIKONAM OF
PRAKASA VIMARSA -- PARA VAK (8th Av)

AMBIKA -- SHANTHA -- PARA VAK

Siva thathvam is PrakaSa, Shakti thathvam is VimarSa and
Para Vak is Siva + Shakti eikya Anandam that leads to Sabda
Prapancham (Srushti)
Sabda (Primordial Sound nAda) unfolds out of SILENCE
(PARA VAK)
Activity Srushti/Sthithi/Laya unfolds out of STILLNESS
(AMBIKA)
ANANDA (Anubhava) unfolds from Iccha/Gnyana/Kriya(SHANTHA)
Thus from SrungAra Thrikona, at Causal level (kAraNa) EIGHT
POWERS unfold to create Sabda Prapancham. This is
described as NAVA YONI with PARA VAK as the central
triangle which unfolds the triad of PaSyanthi, Madhyama and
Vaikari and the four powers of Siva and four powers of
Shakti.

Thus Seventh AvaraNa is the following eight powers four

each of Siva & Shakti by which PARA VAK becomes Sabda -->
sthoola Prapancham.
AMBIKA + SHANTHA+
VAMA+ICCHA+JYESHTA+GNYANA+RAUDRI+
KRIYA
Srushti in itself is the cause for Sthithi and Layam. If Srushti
is not there , sthithi and layam can not happen. Similarly
Iccha desire to do is the cause for doing an act
intelligently. Thus Iccha Shakti is the cause of Gnyana Shakti
& Kriya Shakti.
Siva with the power of Srushti VAMA and the desire to
create Iccha Shakti is represented by 6 th Avarana.
Siva with the power of Sthithi- Jyeshta and the intelligence
to sustain Gnyana Shakti is represented by 5 th AvaraNa.
Siva with the power of Raudri and with ability to do
everything Kriya Shakti is represented by 4th AvaraNa.
Thus each AvaraNa is formed with the super imposition of
powers of Siva and Shakti alternatively.
AmbikA + SanthA in sAmarasya bhAva forms parA vAk
vAmA + IcchA = pasyanthi,
jyeshtA + gnyAna = madhyamA
raudri + kriya = vaikari viSva vigraha ( 4 th AvaraNa
subtle form of
Universe that manifests
as14 worlds)
Both Siva & Shakthi principles are subtle energies only,
complimentary in nature by definition. Thus both are
represented as triangles with a difference that apexes are
opposite in direction balancing each other since from the
same energy source Bindu both of them originate.

The kAraNa Sri Chakra -9th, 8th & 7th AvaraNas depict the
Prak bhAva
Of Siva / Shakti thathvAs. The sookshma Sri Chakra 6 th,5th
and 4th AvaraNas depict athyanthA bhava of Siva & Shakti.
The sthoola Sri Chakra 3rd, 2nd & 1st AvaraNa depict the
anyonyA bhava. The energies of Siva & Shakti get
manifested ( Ghanee bhootham / pariNamathe ) as physical
world.
It is interesting to recall Soundaryalahari slokas at this stage.
The first sloka begins with Siva as the principle that holds
Shakti within. In the 34th sloka Devi is described as the
principle that contains Siva within. This type of paraspara
annyonyA bhAva is described as sesha-sEshee bhAvam
common to both Siva & Shakti.
Thus in physical world of andAndam, Shakti will be the
Sareera with Siva inside, where as in pindAndam (human
beings) Shakti becomes the life principle with Siva as body.
To be continued.
