Śrī Cakra Study

This site grew out of a living practice with the Śrī Yantra — drawing it, painting it, studying its geometry, and gradually learning to see it as a map of consciousness rather than a symbol of it. The tradition is Śrī Vidyā, approached through the lens of Kashmir Śaivism.

What this site is

Three things, held together:

The living yantra — an interactive Śrī Cakra built with geometric precision from the Kavi Mahesh paper on marma sthānas. The sixteen Nityā Devīs are placed in the outer petals; tapping any goddess invokes a ray of light back to the innermost triangle she is worshipped around. The āvaraṇa layer is in development.

Writings — essays and contemplations. These are not commentaries on traditional texts, though they draw from them. They are attempts to articulate what practice reveals — slowly, and in full acknowledgment of how much remains unknown. Keywords in the writings link back into the yantra.

The body practice page — a working map of how the cakras correspond to the nine āvaraṇas of the Śrī Cakra. The internal practice of imagining oneself as the energetic pattern of the yantra is difficult to describe, but the correspondences offer a structure for sitting with it.

The tradition

The study takes place within a living lineage, through srividyatantram.com. The understanding here is rooted in that transmission. Nothing on this site should be taken as authoritative teaching — only as notes from someone learning.

On being public

This site is findable, but not promoted. It exists because the practice of putting things into words — even imperfectly — clarifies them. If it is useful to someone else who is studying, that is a gift. The goal is not attention.

The Śrī Vidyā tradition is received, not constructed. These pages hold what is being received — openly, incompletely, and with gratitude.
