    An excellent and timely post. How very fortunate to read about and view Lalitha Thripurasundari on the first day of Navarathri...!
    You have described Sri Chakra and Meru very well...

    Dear Birundha,
    Thankyou very much.
    Just make a deep intention that you must do Srividya.
    Leave it to the Goddess & She will do the rest. That was how it happened for me. Don't be frantic etc.
    I repeat, I find your interest extraordinary !
    Love,
    Chithra.

    Dear Sudha,
    Nice that you are getting into the navarathri mood !
    This evening, I went to Pavithra Sriram's house (she is here for 3 mths) for kolu. She has elaborated on the theme,
    Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow
    It was very nice & her arrangement was beautiful. In the hurry, I forgot to take my camera !:-(
    If she send, I will post them here.
    Love,
    Chithra.

    But C, I got to read it only today :)

    Seriously, It felt very good to start Navarathri and a friday with this post. Yes, I saw Durga posting as well. Looking forward to seeing Lakshmi and Saraswathi postings. All I can say is, you are keeping the spirits of Navarathri alive for those of us that are away from home.

    -Gayathri.

    My dear Chithra

    A wonderful post about Sri Lalithambikai, I liked the photo you have posted very much. Loved your description about Meru and Sri Chakram.

    I am chanting Lalitha Sahasranamam along with Mangala chadrika and Siddha lakshmi slokam, being Navarathri. Can u pl suggest me some other slokams too, to be chanted for Navarathri. I really enjoy chanting slokams and doing Naevidhyam. Pl take your own time to reply.

    Thanking u

    Love and regards
    Priya
