b4 3 Sri Chakra Nyasa On Body
The following lengthy and complex nyasa is translated from Nityotsava, a work based on the Kalpasutras, and
written by Umanandanatha, a disciple of Bhaskararaya (Bhasurandandanatha), an 18th century devotee of Shri
Vidya who wrote an extensive commentary on the Lalitasahasranama (Thousand Names of Lalita).
This last work is in English translation in an Adyar Library tradition. Bhaskararaya also wrote a work called
Varivarahasya, also in English translation. (See bibliography).
The Shri Chakra Nyasa identifies the different elements of the Shri Yantra with different parts of the human
organism. As the devotee touches the particular part of the body, she or he visualises the particular aspect and at the
same time pronounces a mantra, linked to the particular matrikas or letters of the Sanskrit alphabet.
For a full understanding of this complex nyasa, look at the other sections on Shri Vidya on this web site, in
particular, Lalita and the different mandalas of the yantra. The translation of the Bhavanopanishad, along with the
prayoga or practical application, is also worth having at hand.
