I. Sri Kramam
Nature of Lalita: Purpose
Lalita is a Goddess who is transcendental and immanent (existing beyond the
known and also in the known). Her main rasa is Sringara or the erotic sentiment.
Dharma, artha and kama are all obtained Herea moksa is obtained Here and There by the
upasana (regular worship) of Sri Lalita, whose mūla mantra is Panchadasaksari (15-
lettered mantra beginning with the letter ‘ka’). Upasana of this Brahma Vidya is given
fully here without any omissions.
The tradition followed here is that given by Guru Dattatreya to Parasurama, who
has codified it in his Kalpa Sutras. Dattatreya is a combination of the determination of
Brahma (iccha sakti), the knowledge of Visnu (jnana sakti) and the action of siva (kriya
sakti).
The other tradition comes from Daksinamurti. It follows an identical procedure to
this except that there are no external props required for puja, such as a Sri Yantra or a
suvasini, etc. It is fully meditative in character. It demands a study of the vedas for 18
years under a proper Guru before this sadhana is taken up. As such, it cannot be
prescribed for all people in the present age of Kali. The Dattatreya tradition does not
require such austerities. It can be performed by all people irrespective of caste, colour,
creed or religion. Although it is an external worship, it combines in it all the benefits of
internal worship too. Because of the external nature of the worship, it can help others also
in getting liberated.
1. Guru Mantra
Recite the guru mantra twice with the Mrgha (deer) mudra on top of the head.
Knowledge about the nature of illusion and the nature of grace, of creation, protection
and absorption, life-breath siva, sakti. I am all that I see. Eliminate the names and the
forms in my mind for space travel. Move the Kundalini from ajna to Muladhara and up
toVisuddhi and vice versa. That such is my nature is proved to me by my Sri Guru’s
Power and Sri Guru. I worship the two feet of Devī as the feet of my Guru with flowers
and with water.
5. Ganapati Dhyanam
Chant any Ganapati mantra or just recite the following:
Aim hrim Srim Rakta dvadasa sakti yuktaya dvipa nathaya namah
This means: to the Guru who is in the form of this light here, accompanied by the 12
saktis always attached to him, I request him to illuminate me as to the nature of
immanence and transcendence.

The three celestial lights of Fire, Sun and the Moon represent the three channels of
nervous currents called susumna, pingala and ida. Among them, they exhaust all the
letters of the Samskrit alphabet, except the letter ‘ma’. The letter ‘ma’ means contact.
Since every act of worship involves contact, it is implied in every kala whether it be of
fire, sun or moon. Lalita Devī is fond of the letter ‘ma’ because ‘ma’ also means mother.
