The Shri Chakra is not a symbol of the goddess — it is the goddess herself, encoded as the blueprint of the entire cosmos. Radha Marthi from Devipuram guides this hands-on session at Shakti Kumbh 2024, opening with the foundational insight: the Sri Yantra is the Yantra Raja, the king of all yantras, because it contains everything. Its nine interlocking triangles — five downward (Shakti) and four upward (Shiva) — encode the triad of subject, object, and the act of knowing; space, time, and matter; and the entire Brahma-Vishnu-Shiva trinity within a single geometric structure.
The critical philosophical question is addressed directly: why does Shakti receive five triangles and Shiva only four? Because if they perfectly cancel each other, creation collapses back to zero. Shakti’s numerical dominance is the principle of manifestation — without it, there is only the silent witness, no world to experience.
The session then maps the 108 deities of the Sri Chakra onto the Nava Yoginis and the nine Mudras of worship, explaining that Mudras exist because speech is the grossest form of communication. The closing instruction is Devipuram’s gift: draw 108 Sri Chakras and give them away, because each drawing carries the presence of a deity.
