Variations may exist in different texts. I would suggest looking up Nityotsava, Nityaṣoḍaśikārṇava, Śrīvidyārṇavatantram etc. There are many books published on Śrīvidyā that you may refer to.

They should be practiced by initiates. You can safely practice Purāṇic mantras of any deity. They are meant for general welfare and for all.

It includes the five states of Creation, Sustenance, Destruction, Concealment and Revelation. It also has the Daśamahāvidyās etc. You may refer to the books published by Shri Prahalad Giri to learn more. In my opinion, this is the most profound explanation and practice of the Śrī Cakra followed in the Dakṣiṇāmūrti tradition and it is an expansion of the Daśāvaraṇa Śrīcakra followed in the same lineage. The specific texts that you may refer to are Śrīcakra Nirūpaṇam and Yatidaḍaiśvarya vidhānam. It is best to start with an initiation into Śrīvidyā and Kālīkrama before venturing into the Ṣoḍaśāvaraṇa worship.

We have not published the Tripura Rahasya translation on our site yet. There are some very good books that you may purchase and study. It is definitely a recommended study for all Śrī Vidyā upāsakas. Shri Ravi ji spent two decades writing thousands of articles plus the books and also assisting interested students in their spiritual pursuits. He did all of this without expecting any material gains, without any discrimination or favor and out of pure love for humankind. He was one in a million. We certainly are very proud to be in the Ānandanandanātha lineage.

sadly, I am filled with thoughts of hopelessness and sadness. no matter how much sadhana we do, we are always back to square one - it turns out the effect of the external world and the influence it has on us is too great. i wish someone could understand this feeling, which is too hard to even express in even words. i hope, we will have a kinder world free of discrimination, and self-inflicted shortcomings soon.

I will always regret, deep in my heart, not being fortunate enough to hold your lotus feet to my chest, Gurudev. You are an ocean of humility and compassion to all of us—surely you are our divine mother itself. Now my heart will ache until my last day, for all I ever wished in this life was to have your guidance. My tears fall as I realize that you left us physically just when I was reading your books and articles, ready to connect with you.

Who will be compassionate and sincere enough to help me to finish my spiritual journey, i wish Sri Ravi you could read me atleast once.. Love you Gurudev

Namaste! Thank you for all your wonderful resources on Sri Vidya! Could you clarify a few on the positions on the Sri Chakra nyasa. 1. In sarvarthasadhaka chakra both 8th and 10th steps are right arm pit? 2. In sarvarakshakara chakra, could you clarify the position for the 5th step? 3. For 8th avaranas a - you say our left and our right for steps 2 and 4. For 8th avarana b - step 3 and 4, is it our right and our left? It says right of the triangle and left of the triangle. 4) Could you direct us to references for the nyasa? Thank you! Namaste!

Om Shree Maathrey Namaha Namaskaaram, Ravi gaaru. I have completed reading once the Tripura Rahasya (English book, just reading) but many things, I could not understand as it is like all concepts are revealed for and at higher level of consciousness and only enlightened souls can understand. I would like to know the explanation of Tripura Rahasya from you, Sir. Please let me know where, in Manblunder portal, I can find the articles or explanation of Tripura Rahasya. Thanks. Om Shree Maathrey Namaha
