Sakti or Devi is the divinity of one Universal Goddess representing 'Prakriti' or
Earth. We have a great range of literature dealing with the immanence of Saktism.
Devi Mahatmyam, Devi Bhagavatam, Brahma Vivarta Purana and Skanda Maha
Purana are some of the important Devi literatures. Out of the multifarious forms of
Devi worship, two major forms have gained fame, still persisting in Modern India
are Devi as Kali and Devi as Lalita. Among them Lalita cult is the path of higher
philosophical order.
The legendary origin of Lalita cult is found in the Brahmanda Purana which consists
of forty four chapters out of which the chapters 5 to 44 narrate the story of Lalita
namely Lalitaupakyana. The purana of Lalita explains about the manifestation of
Goddess for the destruction of demon called Bandasura. It details about the
construction of Sripura the abode of Lalita in the form of Sri Chakra. Lalita
Sahasranama consists of one thousand names and Trisati is of three hundred names,
praising her divine attributes. Sri Adi Sankaracharya and Sri Bhaskararaya had
contributed commentaries for Trisati and Sahasranama. These texts have shown new
dimensions towards understanding and practice of Sri Lalita Cult.
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa considered his body as the great Yantra. He praised
Sakti as 'I am the device and you are the operator'. Bavanopanisath also defines the
human body as the Yantra. Sri Vidya treats equally all the paths to attain salvation.
Brahmavidya and SriVidya are unique. Sri Lalita can be worshipped by both saguna
and nirguna paths. Sri Lalita Cult accepts Bakti yoga, Karma yoga, Raja yoga and
Jnana yoga. It considers both family life and hermitage as the ways to reach God. Sri
Lalita is the form of all and accepts and all forms of worship. The Kundalini Sakthi is
the supreme power in the human body. It could be invoked to realize God in this
very life, with in the physical body. Sri Lalita Sahasranama mentions the names of
Chakras present in the human body. According to it there are six chakras namely
Muladara, Svadhistana, Manipura, Anahata, Visudhi and Ajna. The supreme locus of
the Paramatma is in the Sahasrara. When the Kundalini Sakti is roused by
appropriate means, it travels along the suksumana nadi in the vertebral column and
reaches the Sahasrara. Thus Sri Lalita cult emphasizes the excellence of Yoga. It
harmonizes Hata yoga, Raja yoga, Mantra yoga, Laya yoga, and Bhakti yoga.
Negative notions on the reality of the world find a suitable answer in Sri Lalitha Cult.
Seeing the mother pervading everything, it sees the world not as a battle field but
as a play ground. The Lalita doctrine explains Goddess Lalita as Cidswarupini and
Anandarupini (pure and blissful consciousness). The material universe is nothing
but her play (lila). Human beings can remain cheerful in the world, like her
children playing by the side of their mother. Living exemplary lives, they finally
find eternal rest on the lap of the Divine Mother. The desire less devoted state of
mind enables the devotee to experience her 'lila' in a calm and happy spirit.
There are so many branches in Sri Vidya. Dr.Sri Jagannatha Swami a Sri Vidya
Guru in India imparts the path of Samayachara with refrence to the great work of Sri
Baskararaya, the Varivasya Rahasyam. External worships and rituals are given
lesser importance and the inner journey through meditation is highly emphasized
in this method. Click here to learn more....
