Sreechakra Poojakalpam

Sree Chakra Poojakalpam by Chattampi Swami is the translation of an old and rare Tamil work explaining some rituals and techniques coming under Tantra Sastra. The first part of the book deals with the mode of worshiping Goddess in the Sri Chakra. In this work the mode of drawing the Sri Chakra for the worship of Goddess Kali and the related rituals are described in a simple manner. The variations followed by different schools are also discussed. The book was first published in 1926 and recently (2011) an authentic edition was brought out by Panmana Asramam. This is not an independent work of Swami; but a commentary on ancient texts for the knowledge and practice by all Hindus irrespective of caste. It was undertaken by him and inspired by his conviction about the equality of castes. Till then such knowledge was not accessible to any one who was not a Brahmin. It is also the first Tantric work in Malayalam meant for practice.
