Devi Shree, Consort of Shiva, is known as SrI Chakra Rajeshwari in Soundarya Lahari. She is the embodiment of 'SrI Chakra' . In fact, 'Sri Chakra' is the cosmic design, a divine plan, the design of the architecture of the Universe. As the Reigning Queen of the Universe, the cosmos, Devi resides in Sri Chakra. She is Supreme and wields unlimited power. She is the Creatrix, the Sustainer and has the Power of Dissolution at Will! Verse 22 and 31 of Soundarya Lahari have the Sri chakra as the mandala and the rest all have different types of mandala with their own mantra and bijakshara.
How to worship the supreme Divine Mother? This is beautifully explained in the very firs stanza of the 'Soundarya Lahari'. First, Devi is known as the embodiment of 'mantra' with 'bijakshara' embedded in 'Sri Chakra'. In other words, She encompasses mantra, yantra, and tantra. This is like the science and technology - theory nd practical, along with a processing unit capable of production of the prototype, creation! The adept who takes up the worship of Devi with japa and yantra is blessed with abundant power! Such an upasaka is rare indeed!
The upasaka should sit in front of the yantra, Sri Chakra, and chant the mantra with offerings of asanam. arghyam, padyam, deepam, dhupam and naivedyam (specific fruits). The yantra is inscribed on a Gold plate and is highly charged with energy, chaitanyamayi. The number of days of worship and chants are prescribed and given in the Text. Each Stanza of the total 100 or 103 have distinct mandala and bijakshara that has to be taken up upasana! Maha-tripura sundari will bless the devotee with Her Grace. The devotee should wait for Her Grace and should not have any doubt. Only option left to the upasaka is to continue till the Devi is happy and smiles and it may take time. But, there is no doubt as to the ultimate moksha for such a devotee!
