The Basics of Sri Yantram: Before starting the worship it is advisable to know about the way the Sri Yantram is constructed, what all it represents, about the 9 Avaranas, the deities, their gunas and significance, so that your worship is more meaningful. The peak represents Mount Meru, abode of the Gods. Now, imagine a vertical spine down the center of the mountain, then at each point that the spine and a tier intersect, there is a chakra. The imagine that the mountain is built up in tiers, each tier being one of the circles of triangles or lotus petals, with the outermost square representing ground level. If we returned to the two dimension Sri Chakram, and imagine that the Bindu in its center is the peak of a mountain. The Meru is the three dimensions of the Sri Chakram. Meru is a 3D object while Sr iChakram is a 2D rendering of the Meru! Hence by worshipping the Devi in Sri Chakram one is actually worshipping the highest ultimate force in the Tantrik form. Apart from that the Sri Chakram also embodies countless number of deities and represents the whole of creation. The Bindu in the center of the Sri Chakram is the symbolic representation of the cosmic spiritual union of Shiva and Shakti. Shiva along with Shakti is engaged in the eternal dissolution and recreation of the universe. For his consort Devi he gave the Sri Chakram and the highly coveted and the most powerful Shodashakshari mantram, which is the equivalent of all the other 64 put together. Originally Lord Shiva gave 64 Chakrams and their Mantrams to the world, to attain various spiritual and material benefits.
The worship of Devi in Sri Chakram is regarded as the highest form of the Devi worship. Only those who are endowed with purva punya will have inclination to worship Sri Chakram. That is why, they place this chakram beneath the chief idol in the sanctum sanctorum of the temples. Instead fixing our thought on a picture of image or a concept, our elders thought worshiping Sri Chakram is better. This form of worship leads our mind to gradually evolve into Para Psychological levels. You can take Sri Adi Sankarar as your Guru or whoever you think a guru who has the qualities. The Sri Chakram Yantra was installed by Sri Athi Shankarar in many temples in Tamilnadu. It is the residing power of the great power that directs, protects, destroys their make and ceaselessly work. Both Sri Chakram and Sri Mahameru possess same quality. It is not necessary to light incense sticks and camphor for pooja. Flowers without smell should not be used. Ghee and gingerly oil can be mixed and used. Coconut oil with cotton wick should be used for lighting lamp (Thiruvilakku Jothi). Likewise in the temple where the deity faces East. The force of gravity of the northern direction will help you in your pooja. You should sit facing North and to the right of platform. The Sri Chakram, Sri Mahameru platform should always face East flat on ground.
