Contents: Introduction. 1. The Tantrik background. 2. The text.

"The Tantric texts which are influenced by the Atharvana Veda speak of ten
Vidyas or cultic Goddesses whose worship is recommended for health and
happiness in this world and for liberation from rebirth. The ten Vidyas are
classified into three groups, Maha-Vidyas or extraordinary Vidyas, Vidyas or
ordinary Vidyas and Siddha-Vidyas or adept Vidyas which are very arduous.
The first among the ordinary Vidyas is Shodasi Vidya or Srividya.

The Sri-Chakra is the representation of the Sri-Vidya. It is the chief
instrument through which the mother Goddess is propitiated. This book
explains in great detail the symbolism behind the Sri-Chakra , the rituals
involved in the worship of Sri-Chakra and the textual background going back
to the Vedas. The source materials have also been given."
