It does not have the patriarchal bias to the age old traditions when woman was God. It is not a cheap imitation or a pruned down version of the ritual. There is a good chance it will, if you approach the subject with respect. Whether it works for you, you have to discover. To say that a book on gynecology should not be published because it shows the pictures of genitals is ridiculous. To practice or not is your personal decision. After all, the purpose of this book is to inform about practices that were followed in olden days. But to hide the science of ritual from public eye because it may not be in tune with the present norms is not correct. You may or may not agree with what is said here.
It is also the first time that the authentic texts have been explained the way they are here combining the modern and ancient views. Much of the matter presented here is being spoken from a direct personal revelational stand point, and so carries no references. It is the author's belief that such an attempt to open up these mysteries has not been made before in a book which anyone can read.
This is the first attempt that really tries to go into the mysteries of every mantra, and every procedure in the Sri Chakra puja as described in Parashu Rama Kalpa Sutra to convey a deeper understanding of the ritual. Redundancies have not been totally removed because they are sometimes needed as reminders but an attempt has been made to reduce them. Conversational style was preserved to a large extent to preserve readability. She took painstaking trouble to transcribe what was said, typed it out and Amrita edited it again. She used to ask questions, and tape the answers. Sri Devi inspired Devi Parvati to seek this information for the benefit of every devotee of Sri Vidya by asking questions to Amrita at Devipuram, India. And there are simply no books available on this subject. But very few understand the meanings of the mantras and procedures, why they are being done, what is a good way of doing things.
There are millions of people in the world who are doing Sri Chakra Puja. This book had to be written to fill a gap.
