After receiving guidance and initiation from a competent guru, the first chakra envelope in Shri Vidya is the Trailokyamohana Chakra. Its name reflects its extraordinary power! Here, the yoginis (female energies) of the deities arrive, and the external worship creates a positive energy field around you.
When I mention yoginis and their mandal (circle), don’t imagine physical, beautiful women surrounding you, offering wealth, fame, and glory! These energies operate subtly, influencing your life. Past karma may surface, but focus on being a witness, letting go of attachment.
The Trailokyamohana Chakra is responsible for the fulfillment of worldly desires in Shri Vidya. When activated, it creates an attractive force around you, developing your intellect and aura. You’ll speak from the heart, and people will feel you’re expressing their deepest thoughts.
Your presence will bring peace to many. Not only will you experience spiritual growth, but also worldly pleasures and success. Unresolved issues will disappear, and the impossible will become possible!
However, beware! When this chakra is active, let the three worlds be enchanted by you, but don’t get trapped yourself! Be like Arjuna, focusing on the eye of the fish (your spiritual goal, Moksha).
As you embody the qualities of this chakra, remember to respect and acknowledge them as divine gifts. Enjoy the fruits of your spiritual labor, but don’t get attached or lost in worldly pleasures. If you do, your spiritual progress will stagnate, and you’ll become a slave to your ego and desires.
The yoginis test your worthiness for higher states. Will you let wealth, fame, and glory control you, or will you master them? I’ve seen people lose their way in this pursuit. A capable guru’s guidance is essential in Shri Vidya sadhana.
Remember, Adi Shankaracharya composed the Kanakadhara Stotra, but he never used it for personal gain or to fulfill his desires. He remained detached, living a life of simplicity. Such is the power of a true sadhak, with yoginis at their command!
For now, this is enough. If the divine wills, we’ll continue this discussion another time…
