Can you explain the Shri Chakra clearly?

Shri Chakra means the illusion of money existing in the heart of any human being. Shri means money. Chakra means the whirlpool. This Chakra is considered to be the root of this world. It is true because Vashishtha said that money is the root of this world (Dhanamula Midam Jagat). The word Dhanam means money as per the tradition in the world, which is represented by Goddess Lakshmi. You may interpret Dhanam word as the wealth of knowledge, which is Goddess Saraswati. Health is wealth and health is power. So you can interpret the word as Goddess Parvati [Goddess of Power]. Therefore this word Dhanam means Shakti [power] or Prakriti [nature] which is also modified as the soul. Goddess Lalita also means the soul because the word Lalita means the awareness, which is a weak power flowing through the tender nerves. Therefore the Shri Chakra represents the Jeeva (soul). One has to dedicate his wealth (Karma Phala Tyaga), his physical power in doing service (Karma Sanyasa) and his knowledge to the world through propagation of Divine Knowledge (Jnana Prachara).

The Shri Chakra is of two types. In the first type it is called as Srishti Chakra in which the four triangles of Shiva have their bases turned downward. The five Shakti triangles have their bases turned upward. This means that the knowledge or Jnana (Shiva) is based on material wealth (Shakti). This is the formation of the bond with wealth—wealth is controlling this knowledge. In the second type, of Shri Chakra, which is called the Samhara Chakra, the four triangles indicate the four forms of awareness (Manas [mind], Buddhi [intellect], Chittam [memory], and Ahankara [ego]). The five triangles indicate the five elements. The two sets of triangles are reversed in this type, which indicate that wealth is under the control of knowledge. This represents Shiva destroying the world. This second Chakra indicates the destruction of the bond with the wealth.

The three circles indicate the three qualities. The four Bhupuras represent Dharma [justice], Artha [desire for wealth and security], Kama [desire for pleasure] and Moksha [desire for liberation]. The eight petals and the sixteen petals in the first Chakra represent the eight forms of wealth and the sixteen radiations of the mind. The same petals in the second Chakra represent the eight super powers and the sixteen incarnations of Datta. The Shri Chakra is the most important aspect in the spiritual effort because the sacrifice of your wealth for the sake of the Lord proves your real state of spiritual maturity. Your real colour comes out in that aspect only. Therefore the Veda says “Dhanena Tyage Naike” i.e., only by sacrificing wealth can one attain the grace of the Lord.
