245. Om cakra-raja-niketanayai namah: I bow down to Amma who abides in the Sri Chakra
'Sricakra is the most important cakra in Tantra and is called the king of the cakras. Devi dwells in the nine cakras, beginning with the Trailokyamohana, which are within Sricakra.'.....'It is clear from this that Devi who dwells in the Sricakra is not easily attainable and that constant worship is the way to obtain Her darshan, that unalloyed devotion alone is sufficient to win Her blessings.' (From The Thousand Names of the Divine Mother)
I heard a beautiful story narrated by Amma. 2 children are swimming in a pool while their mothers are sitting by the edge of the pool. One of the children gets agitated and begins to almost drown, ending up swallowing a lot of water. The second child meanwhile continues to play very happily in the water. The agitated child says he got scared and worried and thus lost his balance. The second child, when asked why he didn't get upset, says he was sure his mother would watch out for him and so continued to play happily. This story will never leave me. Ever. The more I have my faith strengthened in Amma, the more I can enjoy splashing about in the pool of life. Right now, many a times I lose balance and end up swallowing a lot of unnecessary water! And for this faith to stay strong, constant devotion is the best way forward. Not prayers as and when but a regular routine of prayer. Where we can totally lose ourselves to Amma and Her infinite wisdom and love!
Om Amriteswariye namah!
