Siri Jyoti ~ 'Abundant Lights'
Introduced by Guruji in 2012, Siri Jyoti is a unique and concentrated variation of the Navāvaraṇa Pūjā, central to the revered Śrī Vidyā tradition. This group ritual focuses on harnessing the collective energy of participants, offering immense benefits through the worship of the Sri Chakra.
Harnessing the Power of Group Participation
: Siri Jyoti Puja is a transformative group ritual that enables participants to experience the abundance of life, allowing them to sing and dance through their journey. By coming together in devotion and creativity, the communal construction of the Śrī Cakra symbolizes unity and spiritual harmony.
Essence of Siri Jyoti
Realizing who you really are, the importance of your body, and how it is related to the universe.
Feeling the state of love in yourself and everything that surrounds you, to make your own meaning of life.
Understanding why it is more blessed to give than to receive, by experiencing the divine presence in all people.
Transforming yourself, your life, and the world by realizing the power of love and the mind.

Guruji's Words
“What distinguishes a child from an adult? Given a choice between food and play, a child prefers play and an adult prefers food. But both like excitement. Excitement and play build relationships and bonds people into friendships. Most adults have lost their freshness, passion, and playfulness, forgetting and forgiving easily, the characteristics of little children. If society is to be more tolerant, cooperative, and creative, we need to reintroduce play function into learning. We need playful divine mentors who hold hands for the seekers in need of guidance.
Our vision is to develop childlike freshness and play to connect seekers with the divine hierarchy of angels and gurus to hold their hands every step of the way. Śrī Cakra has plenty of such playful angelic mentors in the form of parivara devatas and the lineage of gurus.
What is the entry point to such a serious study?
I call it Siri Jyoti, “Abundant Light”. In it, young and old gather in fun to draw a complicated Śrī Yantra and learn the geometry of the soul’s journey, decorate it with flowers and lotuses which are psychic powers and put collective life into their own bodies, connect to the one life coursing in all of us. It is all in a fun-filled day of community action. It yields positive experiences very soon.
I believe it is a perfect introduction to a serious study of Śrī Vidyā. It is the play class before kindergarten. The desire to study builds up with experience and understanding. We give this process as an appendix, yet it is easily the most important thing to learn first.
What is divinity? Divinity is caring for life in all, the characteristic of leadership.
So, let us get the ball rolling!
We have to move from “I” as an individual to “we” as a collective. We have to join as a team and work towards a common goal. One common goal can be empowering each one of us and the team. To achieve this goal, we can create a simple team-building fun event near our own homes. By shedding unnecessary alienation from each other, we glow emitting rainbow shades of light and love. I have created a simplified ritual from an ancient wisdom called Śrī Vidyā, which has stood the test of time. It is a good gift we can offer to ourselves. It takes 1 hr to draw a Srichakra, 1 hr to decorate it, 1 hr to do ritual and 1 hr to celebrate. Can be learned in a day!”
