The "Sri Chakra" is an important device used in the worship of the primordial energy which is the cause for the creation, maintenance and destruction of the cosmos. The 'tantra' deems it essential to inculcate the doctrine that no worship of the Deity is complete without the worship of the Deity’s body in a material image-an idol or a picture or some symbol in the physical world. Worship is done to the goddess in the Sri Chakra as it is the form-pattern of the goddess, the spot in which all the rays of the great Radiance focus. There develops an intimate relationship between the worshipper and the Sri Chakra. As the worship proceeds the worshipper begins to feel this emblem of the great goddess as a part of himself. He looks to the Chakra for everything and always gets the needed response, guiding him through the labyrinths of the sadhana.
