Scientific Decodation of Sri Yantra (श्रीयंत्र)

The term yantra, which literally means an instrument for holding or restraining, may be used to denote a variety of linear diagrams which play a significant role in the meditative practices of Tantric Hinduism. Yantras may be simple designs such as the cross, triangle, square, circle or lotus pattern, symbolizing basic concepts, or may be more complex combinations of such elements in figures representing in abstract form the particular creative forces in the cosmos which are called divinities.

The Sri Yantra is an ancient Indian symbol depicting the vibrational form (a form of mystical diagram) that rishis saw during mediations using the tone OMM. The Sri Yantra (sacred instrument) or Sri Chakra (sacred wheel) or Mahameru (3D) is a yantra formed by nine interlocking triangles that surround and radiate out from the central (bindu) point, the junction point between the physical universe and its unmanifest source.

It represents the Goddess in her form of Shri Lalita the beauty of the three worlds (Heaven, Earth, Hell). The shapes of five elements, found in Sri-yantra are; Air/ wood : Rectangular, Fire : Triangular, Earth : Square, Space / Metal : Round and Water element : Wavy form. They are closely related to the mandalas used by both Hindu and Buddhist Tantrism, in which geometric design is supplemented by elaborate symbolic images of the deities which by their various forms and attributes indicate different aspects of the hidden order of reality.

As the yantra is ‘the linear paradigm of the mandala’, expressing the same principles in geometric form. Like mandalas, yantras are used in the context of meditation and worship as visual-aids to concentration of the mind leading to realization of abstract principle which is the inner meaning of the visible representation. The best known and geometrically the most complex yantra is the Sri-yantra, also known as the Sri- chakra. The structure of this yantra is enigmatically described in the Saundarya-lahari (the Wave of Beauty) a lengthy poem praising the great goddess whose dwelling place the Sri-yantra is said to be.

By reason of the four Srikanthas (srikantha is an epithet of Shiva) and the five damsels of Shiva (which have the nature of Shakti), which are penetrated by Sambhu (i.e. bindu- the dot in the centre) and constitute the nine fundamental natures, the 43 (or 44) angles of your dwelling place are evolved, along with the 8-petalled (Ashta Prakriti) and 16-petalled lotuses(16 Phases of Moon, the circles and the three lines (TriGunas ; Satva Rajo Tamo).

When the inquisitive Sati addressed her curiosity regarding the functioning of the universe to Lord Shiva, he gave her a detailed pictorial explanation by connecting a number of lines. These lines proceeded to interlace themselves to form 43 triangles within a circle. It is composed of nine triangles, it is known as the Navayoni Chakra. These nine triangles are of various sizes and intersect with one another. This circle was further surrounded by layers of petals contained in three additional circles which were finally encompassed in three more sharp layers.

Sri Yantra is a circuit showing chakras of the body. Each chakra of the yantra is a symbol of chakra of the human body. In the middle is the power point (bindu), visualizing the highest, the invisible, elusive centre from which the entire figure and the cosmos expand. The triangles are enclosed by two rows of (8 and 16) petals, representing the lotus of creation and reproductive vital force. The chakras present in the body represent superimposition of 4 triangles and 5 triangles in an upward position and downward position respectively.

These interlocking of upward and downward triangle lead to the formation of 43 smaller triangles in the Sri Yantra. The downward pointing triangle is a way of representing Shakti which is the female principle. On the other hand, the triangles pointing upwards are representing Shiva, male principle. The broken lines of the outer frame denote the figure to be a sanctuary with four openings to the regions of the universe.

The different parts or petals and lines of the yantra are usually arranged in concentric circles (mandalas) and contain rays or sub-limbs of devi. The Shri Yantra has nine of these mandals, each filled with various aspects of the Devi. In Shri Yantra there are 111 aspects. The Shri Yantra is said to be a geometric form of the human body, which implies that goddess as Macrocosm is one with human being as Microcosm.

According to Tantra, the creation of the world begins with an act of division of the opposites that are united in the deity. From their splitting arises, in an explosion of energy, the multiplicity of the world. Starting from pure unity (Shiva), the world is continuous unfolding (energized by the power of Shakti), until a state is reached when the process must reverse and involute back to the very beginning. Multiplicity must once again become unity. Yantras are symbolic representations of this process of evolution and involution.

In its three-dimensional forms, Sri Yantra is said to represent Mount Meru, the cosmic mountain at the center of the universe. The Sri Yantra is conceived as a place of spiritual pilgrimage. It is a representation of the cosmos at the macrocosmic level and of the human body at the microcosmic level (each of the circuits corresponds to a chakra of the body). The human being is a miniature universe. All that is found in the cosmos can be found within each individual, and the same principles that apply to the universe apply in the case of the individual being.

For human beings, the body is considered the most perfect and powerful of all yantras and is seen as a tool for inner awareness. Formation of these 43 triangles is happening by the intersection of circles, starting from a central point - Bindu this central point expanding as a circle, then in the same measurement four circles creating further intersections by repeating this process fractals are formed.

Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop, the central part of the Sri Yantra is 43 triangles out of circular fractals, after the fractal formation connecting the appropriate intersections 43 triangles, Sri Yanta is formed.

This formation will tell the secret of how the human body evolved in Karana (Causal) Sookshma (Subtle) level with the flow of Prana. Bodies are mere conceptions in the lower order of beings and they are not to the point in the case of God. Therefore, be wise, and worship the one pure, unblemished Transcendence. If unable to comprehend this pure state, one should worship God in the concrete form which is most agreeable to him; in this way, too, one is sure to reach the goal, though gradually. Though one attempted it in millions of births, one would not advance except in one of these two ways.

The main structural pieces in the Sri Yantra to start opening you to see multidimensionally beyond the simple lines and shapes. The Sri Yantra are surrounded by a square with four “T” shapes jutting out on each of its four sides. These “T” shapes are referred to as the gates of Bhuper, a reference to the earth (bhu). Each of these gates has a mystical significance beyond the representation of the four directions on the Earth plane (North, East, South & West). The square itself including the “T” gates form the foundation of the Sri Yantra and stabilize all energy within it for manifestation.

This square contains the earth (bhu) energy and when activated, the “T”s are the gates that control energetic access in the more Earthbound planes of the resident Divine energy for that specific Yantra (there are different types of Yantras with different Divine beings associated with them). Specific mantras are the keys to unlock or lock these gates. Looking inside the sacred geometry of this square you will find:

Circles which generally symbolize the Water element

Vertical Lines which are understood as containing the Fire element,

Diagonal Lines represent the Air element

Horizontal Lines which represent Ether element

Remember the Square itself is the Earth element

Looking at the center shapes of the Sri Yantra pay attention to the triangles:

Triangles, when pointed up, contain the Divine Masculine, as well as the Fire nature.

Triangles that are pointed downward, they contain Water element and the Divine Feminine.

For thousands of years, sages in India and other parts of the world meditated to discover sacred (self organising) life principles, how to enhance happiness and reduce misery in life. Sri Chakra arose in their visions. It combined geometry, sounds and life to channel the nameless, formless powers of God.

It is the king of yantras with nine layers of Shaktis (powers) covering the light of God in the forms of stars, lotuses and squares containing powers, passions and beauties. Their unmasked beauty and razor sharp intellects earned them a nickname- khadgamala- a garland of swords. They cut off and pierce through all limiting ideas of I and mine to release your unbounded bliss of God.

Learn the secret teachings of Sa-maya (Shakti’s happiness) Dakshina (Shiva’s happiness) or Kaula (Both happiness’s) and Vama (offering self in fire) acharas, and finally Ananda Bhairavis of devotees forming into a self empowering mandalas of Sri Chakras. The Guru at the center of such a circle is called Maha Mandaleswara.

Layers of coverings in Sri Chakra:

1. Square- 10 siddhis, 8 passions, 10 gestures. Use them to enjoy astral powers.

2. Lotus of 16 petals. Time is divided into 16 lunar days, each day bringing a special dream gift.

3. Lotus of 8 petals. Let go of inhibitions. Offer fruits of all your actions to Goddess.

4. Star of 14. Powers ruling the worlds place their riches at your feet.

5. Outer star of 10. These airy spirits blow away poverty.

6. Inner star of 10. They defend you from enemies.

7. Star of 8. They eliminate diseases.

8. Triangle. They teach secrets of controlling lust, enhancing wisdom and manifesting visions.

9. Circle or point. Take you to unending powers beyond mind. Merge with infinite peace, bliss and light of union with Shiva-Shakti.

The typical Sri Yantra with its central point (bindu) and concentric circles of petals and other geometries are conceived of as a sacred dwelling in which the presiding deity and their entourage take up residence. The bindu represents the location of the highest manifestation of the deity as well as the focal point through which the deity transcends the relative plane, with its form and structure to merge into the formless consciousness.

To help visually understand, the bindu is the center of the Sri Yantra and the dot is the symbol of AUM it represents the piercing, breaking or bursting through (bindu vedhana) and it is the final stage.

'यद् पिण्डे तद् ब्रह्माण्डे' Sri Yantra is a geometrical representation of the Human body as well as the Universe. Fractals are infinitely complex patterns that are self-similar across different scales. They are created by repeating a simple process over and over in an ongoing feedback loop, the central part of the Sri Yantra is 43 triangles out of circular fractals, after the fractal formation connecting the appropriate intersections 43 triangles, Sri Yanta is formed, this formation will tell the secret of how the human body evolved in Karana (Causal) Sookshma (Subtle) level with the flow of Prana.

This is the very same formless consciousness in which the devotee merges with the highest truth. The Sri Yantra is then fully activated in its Divine nature and reveals the true potential and nature of the devotee in this merging and loving relationship with the Divine as the divine.

Vidya means knowledge, specifically female knowledge, or the Goddess, and in this context relates to her aspect called Shri, Lalita or Tripurasundari whose magical diagram is called the Shri Yantra. She is a red flower, so her diagram is a flower too. Lalita means She Who Plays. All creation, manifestation and dissolution is considered to be a play of Devi or the goddess. Mahatripurasundari is her name as transcendent beauty of the three cities, a description of the goddess as conqueror of the three cities of the demons, or as the triple city (Tripura), but really a metaphor for a human being.

Sri Yantra is usually translated as a machine, but in the special sense of the tantrik tradition refers to the Devi in her linear or geometrical form. Yantras, by the way, are always used flat. They may be two-dimensional or three-dimensional. Every aspect of Devi has her own mantra and yantra. The yantra of Devi Lalita is Shri Yantra. The divinity of the yantra always occupies the centre or apex.

Sri Vidya (worship of the Supreme Being as Goddess) has a very holy tradition traced to the Vedas. The methods and intention for the worship of Sri Vidya has been extensively mentioned in the book Tripura Rahasya. Sri Tripura Rahasya, otherwise known as Haritaayana Samhitaa, begins with "OM Namaha" ("Salutations to Aum") and ends with "Shri Tripuraiva Hrim" ("Tripura is only Hrim"). Even Adi Shankara has used the story of Samvarta as found in Tripura Rahasya in his Brahma Sutra Bhasya. The book says that one should worship Tripura, the soul-sorceress, the all-hearted Vasini, the Siva and the Parameswari as the Satguru in the heart.

The seventh chapter of the book ends with the following: He is pure intelligence and His consciousness is absolute and transcendental. Such is the consciousness-intelligence in purity, Absolute Being, the One Queen, Parameswari (Transcendental Goddess) overwhelming the three states and hence called Tripura. Though She is undivided whole the universe manifests in all its variety in Her, being reflected as it were, in a self-luminous mirror. The reflection cannot be apart from the mirror and is therefore one with it. Such being the case, there cannot be difference in degrees (e.g., Siva, or Vishnu being superior to each other).

In its three dimensional forms Sri Yantra is said to represent Mount Meru, the cosmic mountain at the center of the universe. The Sri Yantra representation of the cosmos at the macrocosmic level and of the human body at the microcosmic level (each of the circuits correspond to a chakra or vortex of the body).

The Sri Yantra is a configuration of nine interlocking triangles ( 9×9 grid or gross body ), surrounded by two circles of lotus petals with the whole encased within a gated frame, called the “earth citadel”. The nine interlocking triangles centered around the bindu (8×8 grid the central point of the yantra or microabode or subtle body ) are drawn by the superimposition of five downward pointing triangles, representing Shakti ; the female principle and four upright triangles, representing Shiva ; the male principle.

The nine interlocking triangles form forty three small triangles each housing a presiding deity associated with particular aspects of existence. Man’s spiritual journey from the stage of material existence to ultimate enlightenment is mapped on the Sri Yantra. The spiritual journey is taken as a pilgrimage in which every step is an ascent to the center (8×8) , a movement beyond one’s limited existence, and every level is nearer to the goal.

Such a journey is mapped in stages, and each of these stages corresponds with one of the circuits of which the Sri Yantra is composed from the outer plane ( 9×9 ) to the bindu ( 8×8 ) in the center. The Sri Yantra is a tool to give a vision of the totality of existence, so that the adept may internalize its symbols for the ultimate realization of his unity with the cosmos. The goal of contemplating the Sri Yantra is that the adept can rediscover his primordial sources. The circuits symbolically indicate the successive phases in the process of becoming.

The Sri Yantra is composed of a central figure that is surrounded by two circular rows of petals and then by a rectangular enclosure called the bhupura. Here, we will be focusing mainly on the central figure which is composed of nine overlapping triangles and a bindu point. Four of the triangles point up, the other five point down. In the most popular configuration the two biggest triangles touch the outer circle on all three points.

When looking at the figure we notice that there is a high degree of interconnectedness between the nine triangles. This means that every triangle is connected to one or more of the other triangles via common points and they do not criss cross. Where the triple intersection points are located. These are the points that lock together the triangles. You can’t move one without also moving the others. This interconnections scale up to infinite small (Planck length a unit of length) protons etc. ) to infinite big ( cosmos, universe ). This is the principle of cosmic entanglement.

Notice also that the two biggest triangles are touching the outside circle on three points and that the apex of every triangle is connected to the base of another triangle. The up and down triangles when overlapped give a pentacle (पंचकोण जो तंत्र में प्रयुक्त होता है). Thus Sri Yantra is a geometry with five degrees of freedom. Pentadic scale of cosmic regulation is called panchmahabhuta in Hinduism and 5 energies in Chinese occult , which means that up to five different criterion can be used to define it. This is why we have to decide on the location of five lines when drawing the figure.

Five degrees of freedom is not a lot considering that there is a total of nine triangles. This is because of the high degree of interconnectedness between the triangles. This effectively limits the possibilities and variations that can be achieved. Lets now take a look at the bindu point; the small point located in the central triangle. It should be located in the center of the innermost triangle. This can be achieved precisely by placing the bindu at the center of a circle that fits inside this triangle. This is known in mathematics as the incenter of a triangle. To achieve a perfectly centered figure however, the bindu should also be located at the center of the outer circle.

The equilateral (समभुज) triangle is a perfect and minimal structure. It is the simplest, strongest and most fundamental structure in geometry and computer graphics. It has the highest degree of tensegrity (the characteristic property of a stable three-dimensional structure ) for a minimum amount of structural elements. This is also why the geodesic domea structure or building shaped like half a ball, made up of many parts that form triangles and other shapes with several sides ) a spherical structure composed of small triangles is the only man-made structure that becomes proportionally stronger as it increases in size.

The Sri Yantra symbolizes, among other things the unfoldment of creation. The bindu represents the unmanifest ( 8×8 grid of subtle body ), the silent state. The next level in the expression of the Universe is represented by the innermost triangle. This level represents the trinity of rishi, devata, chanda, or the observer, the process of observation and the object being observed.

At this point the symmetry of creation is still intact and will be broken when it reaches the next level which represent the grosser aspects of the relative. This reflects the unfoldment from unity or singularity to trinity as expounded (explain the meaning ) in the Vedic literature. According to the Veda the Universe becomes manifest when unbounded awareness becomes aware of itself.

The spark of self awareness ignites creation. At this point Unity divides into the trinity of rishi (the observer), devata (process of knowing) and chanda (the object of perception). The same idea is also found in the bible as the principle of the holy trinity. The central triangle is the central lens of the Sri Yantra. If as some suggest, this pattern is capable of emitting a significant amount of subtle energy, the importance of having a well balanced and centered figure becomes obvious. For these reasons the central triangle should be equilateral in an optimal . For this to happen the highest down pointing primary triangle must have an angle of 60 degrees .

The Centre of Mass (a point 'Bindu' representing the mean position of the matter in a body or system). Another measure of overall balance of a structure is the center of mass. This is the point in the geometry where it would balance if it was a solid object.

The central triangle of Sri Yantras shows a configuration/arrangement where only concurrency/agreement is achieved. In this case the bindu, the center of the outer circle and the center of mass are not aligned( arrange in a straight line). The central figure shows a Sri Yantra that achieves concurrency and concentricity. As a result the bindu and the center of the outer circle overlap nicely. The center of mass still doesn’t overlap however.

The three criterion that we have suggested (concurrency, concentricity and equilateral central triangle), the three centers overlap and we have a perfectly centered and balanced figure where the bindu is well centered and more importantly the centermost triangle has an angle very close to 60 degrees. This is called perfect balance or harmony with the source of all existence .

Since the Sri Yantra is based on triangles it is very appropriate that there are currently three main ways to represent this figure. The first and probably the most common is the plane form, which is what we have been looking at so far.

The second is the pyramidal form called Meru in India. Mount Meru is a mythical mountain. So named because of the mountain shape of the figure.

The third and rarest form is the spherical form or Kurma. Kurma was the second incarnation of Vishnu, the turtle incarnation.

This refers to the similarity between this form and the shell of a turtle. Ever wondered why the shell of a turtle is so robust. It is interesting to note that there seems to be some confusion with the use of these two terms. The pyramidal form is often wrongly referred to as Kurma.

A hymn from Atharvaveda is dedicated to an object that closely resembles this. The sriyantra (‘great object’) belongs to a class of devices used in meditation, mainly by those belonging to the Hindu tantric tradition. The diagram consists of nine interwoven isosceles triangles four point upwards, representing Shakti, the primordial female essence of dynamic energy, and five point downwards, representing Shiva, the primordial male essence of static wisdom.

The triangles are arranged in such a way that they produce 43 subsidiary triangles, at the centre of the smallest of which there is a big dot (known as the bindu). These smaller triangles are supposed to form the abodes of different gods, whose names are sometimes entered in their respective places.

In common with many depictions of the Sriyantra they have outer rings consisting of an eight-petalled lotus, enclosed by a sixteen petalled lotus, girdled in turn by three circles, all enclosed in a square with four doors, one on each side. The square represents the boundaries within which the deities reside, protected from the chaos and disorder of the outside world.

Tantric tradition suggests that there are two ways of using the sriyantra for meditation. In the outward approach one begins by contemplating the bindu and proceeds outwards by stages to take in the smallest triangle in which it is enclosed, then the next two triangles, and so on, slowly expanding outwards through a sequence of shapes to the outer shapes in which the whole object is contained.

This outward contemplation is associated with an evolutionary view of the development of the universe where, starting with primordial matter represented by the dot, the meditator concentrates on increasingly complex organisms, as indicated by increasingly complex shapes, until reaching the very boundaries of the universe from where escape is possible only through one of the four doors into chaos.

The ‘inward’ approach to meditation, which starts from a circle and then moves inwards, is known in tantric literature as the process of destruction ( a falling blackhole and emerging by big bang in a new universe ). The mathematical interest in the Sriyantra lies in the construction of the central nine triangles, which is a more difficult problem than might first appear. A line here may have three, four, five or six intersections with other lines.

The problem is to construct a sriyantra in which all the intersections are correct and the vertices of the largest triangles fall on the circumference of the enclosing circle. There is, however, a curious fact about all the correctly constructed sriyantras, whether enclosed in circles or in squares. In all such cases the base angle of the largest triangles is about 51.

The interpenetration of the nine basic triangles gives rise to a number of subsidiary triangles (43 including the central triangle enclosing the bindu) which form the abodes of the deities, representing the particularization of the original creative forces into more concrete manifestations. Sometimes the names of deities and Sanskrit syllables are written into these triangles, or images of the deities are placed in them.

In most versions of the yantra this central design is enclosed by two circular lotus-patterns with eight and sixteen petals, a girdle of three concentric circles, and finally a square arrangement of straight line with four openings ( Dharma Artha Kama Moksha). Dharma is duty, Artha means wealth, Kama is desire and Moksha means liberation.This square outline, which is common also to mandalas, symbolizes the royal palace in which the deities reside – an area of sacred space protected from the disintegrating forces of chaos.

In general, the Sri-yantra is a ‘cosmogram’ a graphic representation of the universal processes of emanation and reabsorption reduced to their essential outline. The yantra is an expression in terms of linear symbolism of the cosmic manifestations, beginning with the primordial unity.

The basis of Sri Chakra is its mantra; the fifteen lettered mantra in three groups: a e i la hrim; ha sa ka ha la hrim; sa ka la hrim. The sixteenth letter “srim” is present in a subtle form. Sri Chakra is basically a triad; and, is also related to number nine .

The triangle which is primary to the chakra has three angles and the deity residing in it is Tripura. The mantra of each of the nine enclosures of Sri Chakra is three lettered; the Mother Goddess is worshiped in her three forms; the Kundalini energy in the individual is threefold, and the phenomenal processes arising out of the union of Shiva and Shakthi are also three.

The Chakra design represents Tripura or Tripura Sundari; while her manifest powers (yogini) are nine. There are also three dimensions of the Sri-chakra corresponding to the three sections (kuta) of the mantra; and, each of these dimensions has a further division into three units. Each of these nine units are called as chakras that are encased in Sri Chakra.

All its other interpretations are also in terms of three and nine. The three groups that constitute the mantra are called Kuta (peaks) or Khanda (segments). They are interpreted variously in sets of three as:

1-Agni (fire), Surya (sun) and Chandra (moon);

2-srishti (creation), Shtithi (preservation) and laya (dissolution) ;

3-Iccha ( will), jnana (knowledge) and kriya (action);

4-Sattva, Rajas and Tamas;

5-Jagrat (wakefulness) ;swapna (dream state) and sushupthi (deep sleep);

6-Jnatra (the knower), jnana (the knowledge) and jneya ( the known) ;

7- Atma (individual self), Antaratma (inner being) and Paramatma (supreme self);

8- Past , present and future

Dude!! Skittle!! Skittle!! I can't rn- I just found out that Sun Wukong Great Sage Equal To Fucking Heaven, The Monkey King from Journey To The West, stated by Budha Himself is capable of moving Planets and Stars. And I was there's "there's no fucking way!!". So I went and searched it up-

LiKe OH MY GOSH!! if the reader and wukong's child somehow has this capabilities its going to be chaos utter CHAOS!!

And I also need confirmation if this is really true since I haven't read the books yet!

*slowly slides this post across the table* for whenever you have time to read jttw ofc~ •‵⩊′•

And yes, this is 100% true!🤩 Sun Wukong has a lot more power than what a lot of people realize. His physical strength alone is nigh impossible to measure.

In fact! One of Sun Wukong's greatest feat (imo) was when he held up the Buddhist physical embodiment of the universe, Mount Sumeru (aka Meru, Sineru, or Mahameru). And not only did he hold up the the mountain of the cosmos (containing the whole universe, infinity itself) he did so on one shoulder because the other shoulder was holding up another mfin mountain.

In other words, Sun Wukong got that dawg in him.

And any children he has, he will happily pass that trait down to as well. 😌

omg this has been in my drafts for days now im so sorry😅

This is the "pagoda flower" or "Mahameru", a unique auspicious flower in Tibet. The pagoda flowers in the Himalayas bloom every 400 years. Our generation is fortunate to see the pagoda blossom. Please share it for others to see. Good luck for the rest of your life!

Entah berapa kali, langit-langit kamar ini menyaksikan lelaki separuh dewasa yang buih-buih harapannya tak juga menjadi nyata. Belantara matanya masih saja terbuka oleh realita yang belum juga menjadi niscaya. Benaknya berderit-derit ketakutan seraya berbisik mengatakan; masa depan, masa depan, masa depan. Tidak hanya itu saja, hatinya selalu bergumam tentang keluarganya, ibunya, kakaknya, ayahnya, berjodoh dengan siapa, besok harus makan apa, nanti tinggal dimana, kerja dimana, hingga tempat peristirahatannya di akhirat kelak. Nampaknya kerikil-kerikil kecil yang mengendap menjadi satu sudah berubah menjadi mahameru. Sudah tak bisa ia genggam lagi, tak ada pilihan lain selain meminta kepada Rabb Yang Maha Tinggi. Bagi-Nya, semua yang ada di dunia ini hanyalah kecil atau angan-angan semata. Pun mahameru, gunung yang paling tinggi di tanah jawa. Memang harus seperti itu, kan? Semua rintangan yang kita hadapi harus bergantung kepada Yang Maha Suci. Bila Yang Maha Kuat tidak menjadi pilihan untuk meminta, lantas kemana lagi kita harus mencari? Bandung, yap setiap malam ovt selalu hadir dan menyapa.

Anak Gunung yang (Belum) Pernah Naik Gunung

Begitulah kurang lebih seloroh Pattara kepadaku, dulu. Sekarang pun masih sama. Kalimat "Mendaki Gunung Semeru" masih bersih tanpa coretan di kertas life planner ku. Belum pernah ku ganti ava twitter, profpict Instagram/WA/FB dengan diriku sedang memegang plakat bertuliskan "sekian mdpl". Nama-nama gunung belum menghiasi Highlight Instagramku. Belum ada footage-footage yang kemudian dirangkai menjadi sebuah video pendakian yang kemudian diposting di sosmed dengan caption "Indonesia itu indah, jangan di rumah aja" (padahal mah seharian di rumah juga enak xD).

Ya, aku masih belum naik gunung. Sampai Prau menjadi cukup overrated saat ini dan Mahameru bukan lagi menjadi impian utama, aku masih belum naik gunung. Belum juga menemukan partner sehidup sesurga yang mampu meluluhkan hati ibunda untuk mengizinkan anaknya naik gunung h e h e h e :D.

Tapi aku masih suka gunung. Melihat dari kejauhan pun tak mengapa. Aku masih suka gunung dan orang-orang yang dengan kreatifnya membuat video pendakian. Aku masih suka gunung dan orang-orang yang membagikan keindahannya lewat foto di Instagram. Dan akan tetap mengagumi gunung walau belum berkesempatan menikmati keindahannya dari puncak.

Selamat Hari Gunung Internasional!

When you travel around Bali and witness the many temples scattered on the island, you will notice some very distinct architectural features. When it comes to the larger temples, the most impressive feature you will see are the meru, the multi-tiered shrines that tower high-above the rest.

The term ‘meru’ is a reference to Mt. Mahameru, the sacred mountain of Hindu (and Buddhist) cosmology. It is fabled to be found at the ‘centre of the world’; its summit, at a million kilometres high, is where heaven is located, the abode of the gods. With its religious importance, Mt. Mahameru has been symbolically represented through architecture, such as the prang in Khmer temples of Cambodia and Thailand, or the Balinese meru towers.

The meru towers, or pelinggih meru, are easily recognised with their pagoda-style, multi-tiered roofs that diminish in size as they ascend. The tiers, known as tumpang, are nearly always oddly-numbered, going from one to as high as eleven levels – except for one meru found at Taman Ayun Temple, which features two levels.

You will find these meru in the jero of a temple, the innermost sanctum reserved for the most sacral activities. As pelinggih, or shrines, they are therefore ‘seats’ for gods and spirits, who will temporarily reside within them. Being symbolic of the great holy mountain, the height of the meru thus shows the importance of the residing god or spirit; the higher up the mountain, the holier the ‘resident’.

The eleven-tiered merus are often reserved for the highest of the Hindu gods – Shiva, Brahma and Wisnu – such as that found at Pura Ulun Danu Beratan, whose towering meru is dedicated to Shiva and Paravathi, goddess of fertility and love. The five-tiered merus are dedicated to Bhatara Mahajaya, god of Mount Agung; the three-tiered meru of Pura Luhur Uluwatu is dedicated to Dan Hyang Nirartha, a legendary Hindu priest.

The roofs of a meru are constructed with the black fibres of the sugar palm tree known as ijuk, and the whole structure is carefully constructed according to the philosophies of traditional Balinese architecture,

ㅤㅤㅤOriel Chandrika Mahameru, Odi. Gadis ini sebenarnya keturunan Melayu dan Sunda, tapi lahir dan tumbuh di bawah langit Ibukota. Cita-citanya ketika kecil ingin menjadi dokter gigi tapi kini kariernya berbelok arah menjadi pekerja industri seni, sebagai model dan musisi.

ㅤㅤㅤTerlalu mandiri dan selalu melalang buana, membuat kedua orang tuanya resah. Anak semata wayang mereka terlalu hidup independen, kapan gadis itu akan menetap dan memiliki pasangan hidup? Odi cuma bisa nyengir tanpa bisa menjawab dengan kata.

ㅤㅤㅤBelum tahu saja, kisah asmaranya tak semulus kariernya. Alasannya sama, Odi terlalu mandiri sehingga melukai harga diri laki-laki. Sampai akhirnya ia diperkenalkan dengan pemuda dengan persona yang bertentangan.

[deliciousexpertbasement]

Meru, dia dipanggilnya. Nama lengkapnya Mahameru. Tinggal di Cibaeud, tepatnya di Taman Pemakaman Cibaeud. Suatu tempat di Baleendah. Tidak jauh dari Lembah Parongpong, ketika rombongan pasukan Hanumara Sakunti melewatinya. Ada salah satu anggota pasukan bercerita tentang Taman Cibaeud.

Hanumara mendengar cerita itu dan menyimak dalam langkahnya. Kisah tentang Meru, seorang pemuda yang tidak bisa keluar dari tanah kelahirannya. Nama Cibaeud terkenal, seterkenal nama Meru di mata orang-orang di Jalaprang.

Kedua nama itu, juga ditakuti siapapun. Cibaeud terkenal karena pekuburannya yang sepi dan selalu gelap diliputi kabut pekat meskipun datang ke sana pada siang hari. Selalu terlihat seperti malam hari, datang ke tempat itu untuk hal apapun.

Taman itu sudah terlalu lama sekali ditinggalkan. Hewan-hewan liar dan kehidupan di sana merasa aman dengan keadaan yang sunyi itu. Begitu pula pemuda itu, sejak peristiwa menyedihkan di kampung tidak jauh dari pekuburannya. Kampung dengan nama yang sama. Cibaeud, desa kecil yang dibakar oleh perompak laut bernama Galagas Houd.

Galagas mencari harta terpendam di desa itu. Tapi karena keputus asaan dan penduduk desa enggan menolongnya untuk harta terpendam itu. Galagas merusak desa dan membakar siapapun yang ada di sana.

Bersama kelompoknya, Galagas juga membakar bayi terakhir yang baru saja lahir. Saking keji dan biadabnya sosok Galagas.

Kemudian datang Donto Alejandero beserta kelima anggota timnya. Orang yang pernah datang ke sana, seorang pematung sekaligus penjelajah lautan juga membuat sebuah monumen peringatan peristiwa yang diceritakan penghuni desa tetangga.

Galagas sendiri tewas di tangan Meru. Begitu kabar tersiar melalui tutur para penghuni desa tetangga dari Cibaeud. Masih misteri bagaimana cara-cara pemuda itu memerangi Galagas yang sempat lama menduduki desa pesisir pantai itu.

Negeri Jalaprang, negeri Hanumara Sakunti tinggal dan mengabdi pada kerajaan tersebut. Di tempat di mana Cibaeud berada juga sebagai desa mati di Baleendah. Semua orang tidak pernah mau datang ke tempat itu. Dan pasukan inti kerajaan yang setiap waktu melakukan patroli karena desa di tepian pantai itu berbatasan dengan wilayah negara lain. Ada dua negara yang wilayahnya berbatasan dengan Jalaprang. Arafu dan Nikara adalah dua negeri yang sejak lama bersahabat dengan Jalaprang.

Semua orang percaya, kalau Mahameru masih di Cibaeud dan sebenarnya belum mati. Baik orang di Arafu atau Nikara sama seperti orang-orang di Jalaprang. Mereka merasa Mahameru masih ada di Cibaeud. Bersama arwah-arwah penghuni desa tetap menjaga desa dari rongrongan musuh.

Taman pemakaman itu bukti, setiap ada yang mati. Orang-orang dari manapun cukup meletakkan mayat di depan gerbang desa. Seakan gerbang desa itu telah menjadi pintu gerbang taman pemakaman lain selain gerbang taman makam sesungguhnya.

Setiap diletakkan mayat di depan gerbang, kabut pekat seolah menarik mayat itu dan hilang kabut di depan gerbang, mayat sudah entah kemana. Ada hal lain, jika tidak jauh dari desa ada semacam pertengkaran.

Semisal seorang perempuan dikepung sekelompok lelaki bejat yang birahi tinggi dan tanpa waktu yang tidak lama, kabut dari desa itu bergerak sangat cepat menaungi perempuan itu atau ada lagi, perampok berkelompok mengepung dua orang atau rombongan orang berkuda.

Mereka selalu diselamatkan kabut dan orang-orang jahat seperti ditarik kabut takkunjung kembali. Kecuali mereka yang sungguh insyaf dari perbuatan jahatnya. Kabut itu, orang-orang percaya itu perbuatan Mahameru.

Suatu hari, putri Donto Alejandoro yang bernama Nirmala Malahaya Nurma. Sepeninggal Donto, yang sakit keras dan merasa putus asa ketika monumen yang diusahakannya dirusak orang takdikenal.

Pihak berwajib di wilayah itu enggan membantu mengusahakan pembangunan monumen kembali atau mencari pelaku perusakan.

Nirmala melanjutkan perjuangan Donto mencari pelaku perusak monumen. Bersama beberapa mantan anggota tim lama ayahnya ia berusaha mencari keadilan.

Tapi kesulitan rupanya takhenti-hentinya menghalangi. Suatu ketika, Nirmala dicegat di perjalanan menuju pengadilan. Lima orang mengalahkan Satoshi dan Meymey. Heinrich masih berjibaku dengan dua sosok tinggi besar yang menutup jalannya dalam membantu Nirmala lepas dari cegatan tiga perempuan bermasker hitam.

Gadis itu menjerit, ketika gadis itu ditarik dan diseret paksa naik kendaraan. Jeritan takberdaya itu terdengar menggema tapi taksatupun orang menolong. Taklama diketahui beberapa orang bahwa Nirmala dibawa paksa ke depan gerbang desa mati itu.

Nirmala diikat di monumen rusak dan dia dilempari batu. "Seharusnya pulang saja daripada ke tempat ini!"

Seorang pria bersembunyi di satu tempat menyatakan sikapnya. Satoshi yang terakhir diikat. Heinrich berusaha melepas ikatan. Tapi ikatannya memang dibuat sedemikian rupa supaya sekuat apapun dia ikatan tetap erat.

"Donto gila itu membuang-buang dana pemerintahan dengan membuat patung." Teriak orang lain yang juga tersembunyi.

Tapi sebelum Nirmala terikat. Gulungan kabut dari arah hutan melesat. Sangat cepat, sampai semua tidak ada yang sadar semua terlambat. Meymey yang masih bisa melihat, ketika kabut kemudian melingkupi mereka semua. Lalu orang-orang yang membawa mereka dan berusaha mengikat mereka dengan anggapan siapapun si penghuni taman makam akan membuat orang yang mereka ikat tertarik untuk menganggapnya sebagai mangsa.

Tapi ternyata, situasi mereka tidak jauh berbeda. Kabut pekat itu seperti mengetahui siapa yang berbahaya dan yang terjebak dalam bahaya. Nirmala dan tim yang selama ini membantu ayahnya tidak percaya.

Sosok takdikenal, muncul berkelebat dengan gerak yang nyaris takterlihat. Pertama dia menarik tangan pria yang berusaha mengikat Nirmala lalu patah tangan itu. Membawa Nirmal sembunyi kemudian memintanya untuk menunggu. Di gelapnya pekat kabut, terdengar jerit dan teriak. Tidak lama, tubuh orang-orang takdikenalnya terlihat diseret dan dibenamkan ke tanah.

Semua terjadi serba cepat. Tinggal satu orang saja, dibiarkan lari ke arah desa tetangga. Dia pergi melaporkan yang telah terjadi. Pada satu pria di sebuah penginapan.

"Kami gagal, anak gadis itu, anak gadis orang tua, dia yang mati itu ikut tertelan kabut." Sahut si pelapor. Wajahnya pucat, ia dilanda panik hebat sampai saat bicara terbata-bata.

Laki-laki yang seorang diri di penginapan itu, di satu ruang sepi. Dia bukan pemilik penginapan tapi di penginapan ia sangat ditakuti. Dia orang asing di Jalaprang. Tapi namanya dianggap mimpi buruk di Daratinggi. Dimana itu Daratinggi, tempat itu tempat lahir Donto Alejandoro. Tempat nama pria yang dicintai Nirmala dibesarkan.

Donto Alejandoro terkenal di Fangor, salah satu kompleks permukiman militer di Daratinggi. Dan ia juga punya musuh bebuyutan di sana. Pria ini juga yang kini berada di penginapan di Jalaprang dan kata orang-orang di penginapan banyak mengancam serta takjarang ia melakukan kekerasan demi merahasiakan keberadaan dirinya di Bingslam.

Bingslam berada di selatan Jalaprang, tempat terdekat dengan desa-desa seperti Cibaeud dan dianggap sebagai kota besar karena kebanyakan penduduk kota para pendatang yang menyewa atau menginap untuk bekerja atau melakukan usaha.

Kota Bingslam terdapat banyak penginapan dan hotel atau tempat semacamnya yang dikhususkan untuk mereka pendatang yang hendak mencoba peruntungan di sana. Rumah-rumah lama yang dipugar dan gedung-gedung tinggi banyak menyebar naik ke dataran tinggi. Sebagian lagi menjamur di dataran rendah tidak jauh dari Lembah Parongpong.

Lelaki takbernama di penginapan Borne ini mendengar isi laporan. Dia merasa kesal keinginannya untuk menjatuhkan seseorang sampai mati sampai dengan apa yang telah diperbuatnya terlupakan itu terhenti oleh satu hal. Dia sangat membenci Donto dan pernah berjanji satu hari Donto akan merasakan apa yang dirasakannya di Daratinggi. Perlakuan orang-orang dan sikap sinis harus Donto rasakan.

Kalau perlu sampai mati orang membenci Donto, pikirnya. Lelaki itu kadung benci setengah mati. Sebenarnya ia pernah punya nama di Fangor. Dia dekat dengan petinggi-petinggi militer di Daratinggi. Tapi sejak ia menikah dengan Capemasi, adik perempuan Donto Alejandoro dan kemudian dituduh melakukan korupsi. Semua rencananya gagal sejak pernikahan itu dianggap orang sebagai jebakan untuk menangkap dirinya.

Lelaki yang menerima laporan itu, ia terdiam sejenak. Sebenarnya ia ragu, ia harus apa? Memberi kompensasi pada si pelapor atau memberinya pekerjaan baru. Rencananya, di tim Donto ada pria yang dulu bekerja padanya juga, namanya Heinrich. Tapi dia berkhianat, keinginan lelaki itu jika Heinrich dibawa ke taman pemakaman dan diikat bersama Nirmala maka sudah pasti orang-orang pasti melihat. Diikat dalam keadaan tanpa busana lengkap. Lalu menyatakan bahwa keduanya ditangkap karena melakukan hal yang terlarang. Hal itu akan jadi tambah coreng hitam di keluarga Donto Alejandoro.

Si pelapor menyatakan kalau Nirmala dan tim ayahnya diselamatkan kabut tebal. Teman-teman si pelapor semua hilang ditelan tebalnya kabut. Sementara tim ayah Nirmala berhasil diselamatkan kabut. Mereka kembali ke kota dengan banyak orang yang mengejar Nirmala saat dibawa kabur oleh orang-orang yang mengepung mereka di kota.

Di kota, gadis itu bersama tim yang pernah mendampingi ayahnya dalam proyek pembangunan monumen di Cibaeud atau penjelajahan laut dan wilayah-wilayah yang pernah ditaklukan Galagas Houd. Heinrich, Satoshi dan Meymey juga banyak bercerita tentang pengalaman mereka dalam kabut Cibaeud.

Kesunyian desa mati terasa lebih saat mereka dibawa masuk kabut. Seakan kabut yang menarik mereka makhluk bertangan raksasa dan seorang pemuda bertopeng kepala serigala menghabisi beberapa orang jahat itu tanpa ampun. "Kami dilepas pulang setelah pemuda itu melakukan apa yang harus dilakukan di depan gerbang desa."

"Kami tidak melihat apa yang terjadi. Tapi kami lihat saat kami keluar dari desa, orang-orang jahat itu telah ditanam di taman makam dalam keadaan kepala di atas pekuburan." Sahut Satoshi, berusaha sejelas mungkin menambahkan catatan Heinrich. Mereka menulis pula pengalaman mereka yang pernah mereks alami pada buku yang selalu ada di ruang kerja Donto Alejandoro.

Buku catatan yang selalu Donto sediakan bagi anggota timnya sebagai alat belajar dan arsip kegiatan. Selain bercerita pada orang-orang atau pihak berwenang. Meymey yang merupakan saudara tiri Hanumara Sakunti juga meminta bantuan panglima kerajaan itu terkait apa yang dialaminya.

Hanumara Sakunti dan Meymey selalu saling berkirim kabar satu sama lain terkait apa yang terjadi di kegiatan masing-masing. Mereka jadi lebih serius ketika membicarakan banyak hal yang dilakukan ayah Nirmala.

Pembicaraan jadi makin mendalam dari sisi perilaku Donto yang misterius. Tidak ada yang mengetahui Donto punya anak. Tim baru tahu ketika Nirmala menghubungi di sebuah hotel di Delica.

Nirmala selalu mengikuti berita tentang ayahnya. Selama ayahnya melakukan penjelajahan, rahasia tentang keberadaan siapapun yang menjadi keluarga atau kerabat dekat Donto tersimpan rapat. Henirich yang menerima berita dari Nirmala juga pada awalnya waswas. Lalu setelah bicara dengan Satoshi dan Meymey, ia teryakinkan untuk melakukan kontak dengan Nirmala.

Delica tempat Nirmala bekerja, ia bekerja sebagai petugas senior keamanan hotel. Sebelumnya pernah menjadi polisi Delica. Delica adalah negeri di barat daya Jalaprang. Hotel Mirage, hotel kelas satu negeri itu. Izin mencari berita tentang ayahnya didukung semua orang di Hotel. Bahkan pemilik hotel sendiri yang mempromosikan proyek khusus Nirmala karena si pemilik ternyata mengenal siapa sebenarnya Donto Alejandoro.

Terkait apa yang diinginkan Nirmala, hotel juga memerlukan informasi ini. Sebab di Delica, apapun bisa jadi sesuatu yang menjual. Sebenarnya ini sangat disesalkan Nirmala. Tentang informasi tentang dirinya. Dan saat pihak Jalaprang ternyata juga sangat memerlukan informasi apapun yang selama ini dikerjakan Donto Alejandoro.

Panglima kerajaan Jalaprang salah satu orang yang sangat peduli pria seperti Donto. Ia bahkan pernah mengutus seseorang dari pasukannya untuk mengawasi secara khusus sebelum mengetahui kalau sepupunya Meymey bekerja pada Donto.

Hanumara Sakunti sangat peduli siapapun. Baik warga atau bukan tetap ketika terdapat hal yang tidak menyenangkan seputar siapapun itu. Dia mendengar Donto meninggal dunia dari adik sepupunya. Langsung pergi ke tempat tinggal Donto tanpa pertimbangan apapun.

Dan mendengar usaha pemaksaan orang takdikenal terhadap Nirmala, ia langsung memerintahkan beberapa intelejen negera untuk mencari informasi terkait seorang berhasil meloloskan diri setelah kabut di gerbang desa Cibaeud memudar.

Azumi Kirikani salah satu intelnya. Seorang gadis muda yang cerdas, pilihan pelatih intelejen terbaik. Dikirim ke tempat terakhir Nirmala dicegat bersama Heinrich, Satoshi dan Meymey. Yakni tempat para pria takdikenal muncul menyergap mereka dari banyak arah.

Dia menyamar menjadi perempuan pengemis dan berdandan serupa perempuan tua yang membawa tongkat. Hasbi Faqih, rekan kerjanya yang bertugas sebagai pengawal merasa dandanannya aneh. "kamu lebih mirip penyihir daripada disebut pengemis, Zumi."

Azumi menggereng, "kuhajar kau sekali lagi mengomentari caraku menyamar."

Kuhajar sampai mati! Geram Azumi terdengar dalam hati.

Gadis itu sebenarnya tidak suka bekerja dengan pengawas macam Hasbi. Pria paruh baya, usia masih muda dan lebih muda darinya. Pendidikannya mungkin lebih tinggi darinya, pengalaman sebagai analis dan keterampilan berkelahinya memang jadi sorotan atasan.

Buktinya, Hasbi masih bisa berbicara padanya walau ia sedang berada jauh darinya. Pemuda itu cerdas, ia bisa membuat sesuatu yang mustahil dengan cara yang takterduga.

Azumi berpikir, pemuda itu bisa mendengar tidak ya barusan dimaki? Jika ia bisa berbicara padanya tanpa alat dan orang di sekitar tidak mendengar. Hanya dirinya yang mendengar. Apa mungkin jika ia hanya tersenyum? Hanya karena Azumi benci dikomentari.

Sementara itu, di sudut lain. Tidak jauh dari keberadaan Azumi dan Hasbi yang menguntit gadis itu dari belakang. Seorang pemuda lain, wajahnya sebagian tertutup. Mengenakan jubah berkerudung tebal. Tapi ia terlihat ringan mengenakannya. Dia berada di satu dinding rumah seorang pengusaha pasar. Tidak jauh dari tempat terakhir Nirmala, Heinrich, Satoshi dan Meymey malam itu disergap. Azumi merasa tidak mungkin orang yang telah berusaha menangkap Nirmala dan tim ayahnya.

Azumi menoleh ke satu tempat. Tempat terakhir yang terlihat kamera pengawas keamanan yang memang disediakan pemilik tempat itu. Gedung yang tidak jauh dari perkiraan. Barangkali hanya intuisi belaka. Tapi dari dekat ia bisa melihat banyak. Hasbi kembali berkomentar. "Kau yakin ini tempatnya?"

"Aku tidak yakin. Tapi laporan terdahulu. Maksudku ini hasil pemeriksaan tim awal. Kau Hasbi, ini hasil laporan tim kamu dalam seminggu ini. Aku terima laporannya langsung dari panglima." Sahut Azumi. Sedikit melirik ke belakang. Ia yang merasa bingung juga karena harus bicara seolah berbicara pada diri sendiri.

Orang yang ia ajak bicara memang membuatnya sebal, bahkan tidak sedikit saja dia memperlihatkan penanda kalau dia ada di sekeliling tempat ini. Azumi memang sedang tidak ada pekerjaan, pusat perintah belum memberinya perintah tugas tertentu sejak lima bulan berlalu. Ketika ia diminta membantu tim Hasbi untuk kasus di Cibaeud, Azumi terpaksa menerimanya karena ia merasa tertekan tanpa pekerjaan.

Azumi ragu dengan pekerjaan ini. Tapi ia dipilih oleh panglima Jalaprang. Ia tidak sesenang ini. Pertimbangan apa sampai pejabat setinggi Han Sakunti sendiri yang memberi perintah untuknya. Hasbi yang memintanya datang ke perkemahan pasukan inti pimpinan Sakunti.

Dia tidak mau tahu. Mungkin kebohongan para penjilat seperti Kilac. Perempuan yang membuat tugas terakhirnya gagal. Kilac sudah terlalu lama jadi bayang-bayangnya. Azumi teringat, kematian Adibanon dan semua kawan-kawannya di Lumbung Lawas.[]

Meru, he called him. His full name is Mahameru. Lives in Cibaeud, precisely at the Cibaeud Cemetery. Somewhere in Baleendah. Not far from the Parongpong Valley, when Hanumara Sakunti's group of troops passed through. One of the troop members told a story about Cibaeud Park.

Hanumara heard the story and followed his steps. The story of Meru, a young man who cannot leave his homeland. The name Cibaeud is famous, as famous as the name Meru in the eyes of the people in Jalaprang.

Those two names are also feared by anyone. Cibaeud is famous for its cemeteries which are quiet and always dark, covered in thick fog even if you come there during the day. Always looks like it's night time, come to that place for anything.

The park has been abandoned for too long. The wild animals and life there feel safe in this quiet situation. So did the young man, since the sad incident in the village not far from his cemetery. Village with the same name. Cibaeud, a small village that was burned by sea pirates named Galagas Houd.

Galagas is looking for hidden treasure in the village. But because of despair and the villagers were reluctant to help him with the hidden treasure. Galagas destroyed the village and burned whoever was there.

Together with his group, Galagas also burned the last baby who had just been born. Galagas was so cruel and barbaric.

Then came Donto Alejandero and his five team members. The person who had come there, a sculptor and ocean explorer, also made a monument commemorating the events told by the residents of a neighboring village.

Galagas himself died at the hands of Meru. So the news spread through the words of residents of neighboring villages from Cibaeud. It is still a mystery how the young man used to fight the Galagas who had occupied this coastal village for a long time.

Jalaprang Country, the country of Hanumara Sakunti lived and served the kingdom. The place where Cibaeud is located is also a dead village in Baleendah. Everyone never wants to come to that place. And the core royal troops carry out patrols all the time because the village on the coast borders the territory of another country. There are two countries whose territories border Jalaprang. Arafu and Nikara are two countries that have long been friendly with Jalaprang.

Everyone believes that Mahameru is still in Cibaeud and is not actually dead. Neither the people in Arafu nor Nikara are the same as the people in Jalaprang. They feel that Mahameru is still in Cibaeud. Together with the spirits of the village residents, they continue to protect the village from enemy attacks.

The cemetery is evidence, every time someone dies. People from anywhere simply put the corpse in front of the village gate. It was as if the village gate had become the gate to another cemetery besides the actual cemetery gate.

Every time a corpse is placed in front of the gate, the dense fog seems to attract the corpse and the fog disappears in front of the gate, the corpse has gone somewhere. There is another thing, if not far from the village there is some kind of quarrel.

For example, a woman is surrounded by a group of lecherous men who are highly lustful and without a long time, the fog from the village moves very quickly to cover the woman or there is another group of robbers who surround two people or a group of people on horseback.

They are always saved by the fog and the bad people are like being pulled by the fog and never return. Except for those who truly realize their evil deeds. People believed that the fog was Mahameru's doing.

One day, Donto Alejandoro's daughter, Nirmala Malahaya Nurma. After the death of Donto, who was seriously ill and felt hopeless when the monument he was working on was damaged by an unknown person.

Authorities in the area are reluctant to help rebuild the monument or search for the perpetrators of the vandalism.

Nirmala continues Donto's struggle to find the perpetrators who destroyed the monument. Together with several former members of his father's old team, he tries to seek justice.

But difficulties apparently never stopped getting in the way. One day, Nirmala was stopped on her way to court. Five people defeat Satoshi and Meymey. Heinrich was still struggling with two tall figures who blocked his way in helping Nirmala escape from three women wearing black masks.

The girl screamed when the girl was grabbed and forcibly dragged into the vehicle. The helpless screams echoed but no one helped. Soon it became known to several people that Nirmala was forcibly taken to the front gate of the dead village.

Nirmala is tied to a broken monument and stones are thrown at her. "You should just go home instead of coming to this place!"

A man hiding in one place expressed his attitude. Satoshi was the last to be tied up. Heinrich tried to untie the knot. But the bond is made in such a way that no matter how strong it is, the bond remains tight.

"That crazy donto is wasting government funds by making statues." shouted another person who was also hidden.

But before Nirmala was tied up. Rolls of mist shot from the direction of the forest. Very fast, until no one noticed it was too late. Meymey was still able to see, when the fog then enveloped them all. Then the people who took them and tried to tie them up assuming that whoever was in the graveyard would make the people they tied up interested in considering them as prey.

But it turns out, their situation is not much different. The thick fog seems to know who is dangerous and who is trapped in danger. Nirmala and the team who have been helping her father do not believe it.

An unknown figure, appeared flashing with almost invisible movements. First he pulled the hand of the man who tried to tie Nirmala and then broke the hand. Taking Nirmala to hide then asking her to wait. In the thick darkness of the fog, screams and shouts were heard. Not long, the bodies of people he didn't know were seen being dragged and buried in the ground.

Everything happened so fast. Only one person was left, left to run towards the neighboring village. He went to report what had happened. To a man in an inn.

"We failed, the girl, the old man's daughter, she was the one who died and was swallowed by the fog." The reporter replied. His face was pale, he was struck by great panic until he stuttered when he spoke.

The man who was alone in the inn, in a quiet room. He was not the owner of the inn but in the inn he was very feared. He was a stranger in Jalaprang. But his name was considered a nightmare in Daratinggi. Where is Daratinggi, that place is the birthplace of Donto Alejandoro. The place where the name of the man Nirmala loved grew up.

Donto Alejandoro is well-known in Fangor, one of the military settlement complexes in Daratinggi. And he also has a sworn enemy there. This man is also the one who is currently in the inn in Jalaprang and people say that the people in the inn often threaten and often commit violence in order to keep his whereabouts in Bingslam a secret.

Bingslam is located south of Jalaprang, the closest place to villages like Cibaeud and is considered a big town because most of the town's residents are migrants who rent or stay to work or do business.

Bingslam City has many inns and hotels or similar places that are specifically for those newcomers who want to try their luck there. Old houses that have been restored and tall buildings are spread up to the highlands. Some others are mushrooming in the lowlands not far from the Parongpong Valley.

The nameless man at the Borne Inn heard the report. He was annoyed that his desire to beat someone to death until what he had done was forgotten was stopped by one thing. He hated Donto so much and had promised that one day Donto would feel what he felt in Daratinggi. Donto had to feel the treatment of people and their cynical attitudes.

If necessary, people should hate Donto to death, he thought. The man hated him to death. Actually, he once had a name in Fangor. He was close to the military leaders in Daratinggi. But since he married Capemasi, Donto Alejandoro's younger sister and was later accused of corruption. All his plans failed since the marriage was considered a trap to catch him.

The man who received the report was silent for a moment. Actually, he was doubtful, what should he do? Compensate the complainant or give him a new job. The plan is that in Donto's team there is a man who used to work for him too, his name is Heinrich. But he betrayed, the man's wish was that if Heinrich was taken to the cemetery and tied up with Nirmala, then surely people would see. Tied up in a state of complete undress. Then stating that both of them were arrested for doing something forbidden. That would be an additional black mark on the Donto Alejandoro family.

The reporter stated that Nirmala and her father's team were saved by thick fog. The reporter's friends were all lost swallowed by the thick fog. While Nirmala's father's team was successfully saved by the fog. They returned to the city with many people chasing Nirmala when she was taken away by the people who surrounded them in the city.

In the city, the girl is with the team that once accompanied her father in the monument construction project in Cibaeud or the exploration of the sea and the areas that Galagas Houd once conquered. Heinrich, Satoshi and Meymey also tell a lot about their experiences in the Cibaeud fog.

The silence of the dead village felt even more when they were brought into the fog. As if the fog was attracting them, a creature with giant hands and a young man wearing a wolf head mask killed several of the bad guys without mercy. "We were released after the young man did what had to be done in front of the village gate."

"We didn't see what happened. But we saw when we left the village, the bad guys had been buried in the cemetery garden with their heads on the graves." Satoshi replied, trying to add to Heinrich's notes as clearly as possible. They also wrote down their experiences in a book that was always in Donto Alejandoro's office.

The notebook that Donto always provides for his team members as a learning tool and activity archive. In addition to telling people or authorities. Meymey, who is Hanumara Sakunti's half-sister, also asked for help from the kingdom's commander regarding what she experienced.

Hanumara Sakunti and Meymey always send each other news about what is happening in each other's activities. They become more serious when talking about the many things that Nirmala's father does.

The conversation deepened from Donto's mysterious behavior. No one knew Donto had a child. The team only found out when Nirmala called at a hotel in Delica.

Nirmala always follows news about her father. While her father was exploring, the secret about the whereabouts of anyone who became Donto's family or close relatives was kept tightly. Henirich who received news from Nirmala was also initially worried. Then after talking to Satoshi and Meymey, he was convinced to make contact with Nirmala.

Delica where Nirmala works, she works as a senior hotel security officer. Previously she was a Delica police officer. Delica is a country southwest of Jalaprang. Mirage Hotel, a first-class hotel in that country. Permission to find news about her father was supported by everyone at the Hotel. Even the hotel owner himself promoted Nirmala's special project because the owner apparently knew who Donto Alejandoro really was.

Regarding what Nirmala wanted, the hotel also needed this information. Because in Delica, anything can be something that sells. Actually, this was very regrettable for Nirmala. About information about herself. And when Jalaprang also turned out to really need any information that Donto Alejandoro had been working on.

The commander of the Jalaprang kingdom is one of the people who really cares about men like Donto. He even sent someone from his troops to keep a special eye on him before finding out that his cousin Meymey was working for Donto.

Hanumara Sakunti cares deeply about everyone. Whether they are citizens or not, when there is something unpleasant about anyone. He heard that Donto died from his cousin. He immediately went to Donto's residence without any consideration.

And hearing about the attempt by an unknown person to force Nirmala, he immediately ordered several state intelligence officers to look for information regarding someone who managed to escape after the fog at the Cibaeud village gate faded.

Azumi Kirikani is one of the intelligence officers. A smart young girl, chosen by the best intelligence trainer. Sent to the last place Nirmala was intercepted with Heinrich, Satoshi and Meymey. Namely the place where unknown men appeared to ambush them from many directions.

She disguised herself as a beggar woman and dressed up like an old woman carrying a stick. Hasbi Faqih, her co-worker who served as a bodyguard, thought her make-up was strange. "You look more like a witch than a beggar, Zumi."

Azumi growled, "I'll beat you up again for commenting on my disguise."

I'll beat you to death! Azumi's growl rang out in her heart.

The girl actually didn't like working with a supervisor like Hasbi. A middle-aged man, still young and younger than her. His education might be higher than hers, his experience as an analyst and his fighting skills were indeed highlighted by his superiors.

The proof is, Hasbi can still talk to him even though he is far away from him. The young man is smart, he can make something impossible in an unexpected way.

Azumi thought, could the young man hear what he had just been cursed at? If he could talk to him without a device and the people around him didn't hear. Only he heard. Is it possible if he just smiled? Just because Azumi hated being commented on.

Meanwhile, in another corner. Not far from where Azumi and Hasbi were stalking the girl from behind. Another young man, his face partially covered. Wearing a thick hooded robe. But he looked light wearing it. He was on one wall of a market entrepreneur's house. Not far from the last place where Nirmala, Heinrich, Satoshi and Meymey were ambushed that night. Azumi felt that it was impossible for the person who had tried to capture Nirmala and her father's team.

Azumi turned to one place. The last place seen by the security camera that was indeed provided by the owner of the place. A building not far from what was expected. Maybe it was just intuition. But from up close he could see a lot. Hasbi commented again. "Are you sure this is the place?"

"I'm not sure. But the previous report. I mean this is the result of the initial team's examination. You Hasbi, this is the result of your team's report this week. I received the report directly from the commander in chief." Azumi replied. Glancing back a little. He was also confused because he had to speak as if he were talking to himself.

The person she was talking to really annoyed her, and there were even a few signs that she was around this place. Azumi was indeed unemployed, the command center had not given her a specific task order for five months. When she was asked to help Hasbi's team with the case in Cibaeud, Azumi was forced to accept it because she felt pressured without a job.

Azumi was doubtful about this job. But he was chosen by the commander of Jalaprang. He was not this happy. What considerations until an official as high as Han Sakunti himself gave him an order. Hasbi asked him to come to the camp of the main troops led by Sakunti.

He didn't want to know. Maybe it's the lie of sycophants like Kilac. The woman who failed her last assignment. Kilac has been his shadow for too long. Azumi remembered the death of Adibanon and all his friends in Lumbung Lawas.

TURISIAN.com - Setelah lima tahun tertutup, jalur pendakian Gunung Semeru di Kabupaten Lumajang, Jawa Timur, resmi dibuka kembali pada Senin, 23 Desember 2024. Menteri Kehutanan Raja Juli Antoni memimpin langsung pembukaan jalur ini. Bersama rombongan, sang menteri dengan memastikan kesiapan rute dari pos Ranupani hingga Ranu Kumbolo. Namun, kondisi jalur belum sepenuhnya sempurna. Sepanjang perjalanan menuju Ranu Kumbolo, Menteri Raja Juli mendapati semak belukar tumbuh subur. Ini akibat, hasil dari bertahun-tahun tak terjamah pendaki. Di beberapa titik, tebing juga menunjukkan bekas erosi akibat derasnya air hujan. “Tadi pagi saya menyusuri jalur. Memang masih ada semak belukar, tapi secara keseluruhan sudah bisa dilewati. Hanya saja, pendakian dibatasi sampai Ranu Kumbolo,” ujarnya di Ranupani, kemarin. Sementara itu, keputusan ini diambil setelah berkoordinasi dengan Pusat Vulkanologi dan Mitigasi Bencana Geologi (PVMBG). Risiko aktivitas vulkanik Gunung Semeru yang fluktuatif membuat kawasan Kalimati—yang berjarak 3,5 kilometer dari puncak Mahameru—tetap tertutup untuk pendakian. “Rekomendasi PVMBG jelas, jangan ada aktivitas dalam radius 3,5 kilometer dari puncak. Maka kami putuskan pendakian hanya sampai Ranu Kumbolo,” tegas Raja Juli. BACA JUGA: Wisatawan Diminta Hati-hati, Gunung Semeru Kembali Meletus Aturan Ketat dan Pembatasan Kuota Sedangkan, untuk mencegah pendaki nekat yang melanggar batas, petugas akan ditempatkan di Ranu Kumbolo. Raja Juli mengimbau pendaki untuk mematuhi aturan dan menjaga kesadaran selama perjalanan. “Mari nikmati keindahan Semeru dengan riang gembira, tanpa melanggar aturan,” katanya. Selain itu, calon pendaki wajib memenuhi sejumlah persyaratan. Seperti menunjukkan surat keterangan sehat dari tenaga medis tersertifikasi. Mereka juga harus menggunakan jasa pendamping dari kelompok resmi yang telah ditunjuk pengelola. Adapun jumlah pendaki yang diizinkan dibatasi hanya 200 orang per hari. Tiket pendakian dapat dipesan secara daring melalui situs resmi pendakian Gunung Semeru. Dibuka Kembali Setelah Penutupan Panjang Gunung Semeru, yang menjadi atap Pulau Jawa, telah ditutup sejak 30 November 2020 akibat peningkatan aktivitas vulkanik dan pandemi Covid-19. Meski sempat dibuka pada April 2024, gunung ini kembali ditutup pada Juli tahun yang sama. Kini, dengan serangkaian persiapan dan evaluasi, pendakian resmi dilanjutkan, meski dengan sejumlah pembatasan ketat. Gunung Semeru kembali menyambut para pecinta alam, meski hanya sampai di Ranu Kumbolo. Bagi yang rindu suasana pegunungan, ini kesempatan berharga untuk kembali menikmati keindahan salah satu ikon alam Jawa Timur. Semoga dengan dibukanya kembali  jalur pendakian Gunung Semeru menambah pilihan destinasi wisata khusus di kawasan ini. ***

Adi Shankaracharya’s Divine Realization by Observing a Snake Protecting a Frog

Around 1,200 years ago, in the beautiful village of Kaladi on the banks of the Poorna River in Kerala, lived a Namboothiri Brahmin couple, Shivaguru and Aryamba. They had been childless for a long time and undertook severe penance, worshipping Lord Shiva with pure devotion. Pleased with their devotion, the compassionate Lord Shiva blessed them with a son, who was named Shankara. They lovingly raised him.

At the age of five, Shankara underwent the sacred thread ceremony. Soon after, his extraordinary abilities began to manifest.

One day, while seeking alms, Shankara encountered a poor woman who, despite her poverty, did not want to send him away empty-handed. She searched her house and found a single dried gooseberry, which she offered to Shankara. Touched by her generosity, Shankara prayed to Goddess Lakshmi, and golden gooseberries rained down in her house.

On another occasion, seeing his mother Aryamba struggling to bathe in the Poorna River due to her health, Shankara prayed to the Ganga River. Miraculously, the Poorna River changed its course to flow behind their house.

By the age of eight, Shankara had mastered the four Vedas and six Shastras, and his fame spread far and wide. Even the local king came to see him.

With his mother’s permission, Shankara embraced asceticism to fulfill his life’s purpose. He became a disciple of the great sage Govinda Bhagavatpada on the banks of the Narmada River and served him devotedly.

Following his guru’s instructions, Shankara went to Kashi, where he defeated various scholars in debates and established the Advaita philosophy, which teaches that all living beings are manifestations of the divine.

Shankara wrote numerous works, including commentaries on the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Brahma Sutras, Vishnu Sahasranama, and Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras. He also composed many devotional hymns and texts like Vivekachudamani and Atmabodha to make these teachings accessible to all.

He established the Panchayatana form of worship, which involves the simultaneous worship of five deities: Shiva, Ambal, Vishnu, and others. He also defined the six orthodox schools of Hindu philosophy.

One day, while walking along the banks of the Tungabhadra River with his disciples, Shankara witnessed a remarkable sight. A snake was shading a frog in labor from the sun with its hood. Astonished, Shankara thought, “In nature, a snake preys on frogs. Yet here, a snake is protecting a frog in distress. What a divine place this must be!”

He decided that this auspicious place was perfect for establishing his first monastery. He drew the Sri Chakra on a rock and meditated on Goddess Saraswati, who appeared before him.

“Mother, you must reside here permanently as Sri Sharada and bless the devotees,” prayed Shankara.

The goddess, pleased with his prayer, agreed.

The monastery established by Shankara on that day, with Sri Sharada as the main deity, came to be known as the Sri Sharada Peetham.

Shankara designated the Yajur Veda as the principal Veda for the Sri Sharada Peetham. He also provided the Sri Chandramouleeswara Spatika Lingam, the Sri Ratnagarbha Ganapati idol, and the Mahameru Yantra from Kailasa for the daily worship at the Peetham.

Shankara entrusted the administration of the Sri Sharada Peetham to his chief disciple, Sri Sureshwaracharya, who was considered an incarnation of Lord Brahma.

At the age of 32, Shankara reached the sacred site of Kedarnath in the Himalayas, worshipped Lord Shiva, and then disappeared into the snow-covered mountains.

தவளையை காத்த நாகத்தை பார்த்து தெய்வீகத்தை உணர்ந்த ஆதிசங்கரர்

நிறம் மற்றும் எழுத்துரு அளவு மாற்ற

கிட்டத்தட்ட 1,200 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு முன் கேரள மாநிலத்தில் பூர்ணா நதிக்கரையில் காலடி எனும் அழகிய கிராமத்தில் வாழ்ந்து வந்த நம்பூதரி பிராமண தம்பதியான சிவகுரு - ஆர்யாம்பாள் ஆகியோருக்கு, நீண்ட நாட்களாக குழந்தை பாக்கியமே இல்லாதிருந்ததால் அவர்கள் கடும் விரதம் பூண்டு,

சிவபெருமானை துாய்மையான பக்தியுடன் ஆராதித்து வந்தனர்.அதனால் மகிழ்ச்சியடைந்த கருணாமூர்த்தியான பரமேஸ்வரன், அவர்களுக்கு தம் அம்சத்துடன் கூடிய ஓர்ஆண் குழந்தையை அருளினார். அக்குழந்தைக்கு சங்கரன் எனப் பெயரிட்டு பாசத்துடன் வளர்த்து வந்தனர்.

ஐந்து வயதில் உபநயனம் செய்து வைத்தனர். அதன்பின், ஸ்ரீ சங்கரரின் அபார சக்திகள் வெளிப்பட துவங்கின

ஒரு நாள், தாம் பிச்சை கேட்ட ஒரு வீட்டில் வறுமை தாண்டவமாடியபோதிலும், அந்த வீட்டு பெண்மணி தன்னிடம் பிச்சை கேட்டு வந்த பிரம்மச்சாரியை ஏமாற்ற மனமில்லாமல், வீடு முழுதும் தேடி உலர்ந்த ஒரு நெல்லிக்கனியை கண்டெடுத்து, அதை ஸ்ரீ சங்கரருக்கு பிச்சை அளித்தாள் அந்த ஏழ்மை நிலையிலும் அவளுக்கிருந்த உயர்ந்த மனப்பாங்கு ஸ்ரீசங்கரரின் இதயத்தை பெரிதும் தொட்டது.

அக்கணத்திலேயே அவர் ஸ்ரீ மஹாலக் ஷ் மியை வேண்டிக்கொள்ள, அப்பெண்மணியின் வீட்டில் தங்கநெல்லிக்கனிகள் மழையென பெய்தனபின் ஒருமுறை, தம் தாயார் ஆர்யாம்பாள் பூர்ணா நதியில் தினப்படி நீராடி சென்றுவருவதற்கு அவரது உடல்நிலை ஒத்துழைக்காததைக் கண்டஸ்ரீ சங்கரர், கங்காதேவியை பிரார்த்திக்க, பூர்ணா நதியே தன் ஓட்டத்தை ஸ்ரீசங்கரரின் இல்லத்திற்கு பின்னால் இருக்குமாறு மாற்றிக் கொண்டு விட்ட அதிசயம் நடந்தது

எட்டு வயதிற்குள்ளாகவே நான்கு வேதங்களையும், ஆறு சாஸ்திரங்களையும் கற்றுத்தேர்ந்து விட்ட ஸ்ரீ சங்கரரின் பெருமை எங்கும் பரவத் துவங்கியது. அப்பிரதேசத்தை ஆண்ட மன்னரே ஸ்ரீ சங்கரரை நேரில் வந்து தரிசித்து சென்றார்

தம் பிறவியின் நோக்கம் நிறைவேறும் பொருட்டு, தம் தாயாரின் அனுமதியுடன் துறவறம் ஏற்ற ஸ்ரீ சங்கரர்,

நர்மதை நதிக்கரையில் வாழ்ந்து வந்த மஹானாகிய ஸ்ரீ கோவிந்த பகவத்பாதரை தம் குருவாக ஏற்று அவருக்கு சேவை புரிந்து வந்தார்

தம் குருநாதரின் ஆணையை ஏற்று காசிக்கு சென்ற ஸ்ரீசங்கரர், பல்வேறு மதத்தினரையும் தம் வாதத் திறமையால் வென்று'உலகில் உள்ள அனைத்து உயிர்களும் இறைவனின் அம்சங்களே' எனும் அத்வைத மதமே பரம்பொருளை பூரணமாக அறிய உதவும் மதம் என்பதை நிலைநாட்டினார்

உபநிஷதங்கள், பகவத்கீதை, வியாச முனிவரின் பிரம்ம சூத்திரங்கள், விஷ்ணு ஸஹஸ்ர நாமம், பதஞ்சலி முனிவரின் யோக சூத்திரங்கள் போன்ற பெரும் தெய்வீக படைப்புகளின் உட்பொருளை அனைவரும் எளிதில் புரிந்து கொள்ளும் வகையிலும் விவேக சூடாமணி, ஆத்மபோதம், சதச்லோகீ போன்ற பற்பல கிரந்தங்களையும், பக்தி மார்க்கத்தை விரும்புவோருக்கு உதவும் வகையில், பக்தி ரசம் ததும்பும் நுாற்றுக்கணக்கான ஸ்லோகங்களையும் ஸ்ரீ சங்கரர் அருளினார்

வேதங்களை சார்ந்து பரம்பொருளை அறிவிக்கும் மார்க்கங்களாக அத்வைதம், யோகம், சாங்க்யம் முதலான ஷட்தர்சனங்கள் எனப்படும் ஆறு மார்க்கங்களை நிர்ணயித்தார்

பஞ்சாயதனம் எனப்படும் சிவன், அம்பாள், விஷ்ணு முதலான ஐந்து கடவுளர்களை ஒருசேர வழிபடும் பூஜை முறையை ஏற்படுத்தினார்.

சைவம், வைணவம், சாக்தம் முதலான ஆறு ஆதாரப்பூர்வமான மதங்களை அறிவித்தார்

காஷ்மீரில் பற்பல பெரும் பண்டிதர்களை வாதத்தில் வென்று, புகழ் பெற்ற சர்வஜ்ஞ பீடத்தில் அமர்ந்தார்இந்தியாவின் நான்கு திசைகளிலும் நான்கு பீடங்களை தோற்றுவித்தார். அவரால் முதலில் தோற்றுவிக்கப்பட்ட பீடமே தென் திசையில் உள்ள சிருங்கேரி ஸ்ரீ சாரதா பீடமாகும். இதர பீடங்கள் புரி - கிழக்கு, பத்ரி - வடக்கு மற்றும்

துவாரகா - மேற்கு ஆகிய இடங்களில் அமைக்கப்பட்டன ஒரு நாள் தம் சீடர்கள் பின் தொடர, துங்கா நதிக்கரையில் ஸ்ரீ சங்கரர் வந்து கொண்டிருந்த சமயம் அங்கு தென்பட்ட ஒரு காட்சி, அவரை பெரும் ஆச்சரியத்துக்குள்ளாக்கியது.

வெயிலில் பிரசவ வலியால் அவதிப்பட்டுக் கொண்டு இருந்த தவளைக்கு, நாகம் ஒன்று தன் படத்தை விரித்து நிழலை தந்து கொண்டிருந்தது.

இதைக் கண்ட ஸ்ரீ சங்கரர், 'இயற்கையிலேயே நாகத்திற்கு தவளை உணவாகும்.ஆயினும், இங்கோ தன் இரையான தவளையைஇரையென காணாது, அதன் இன்னலுக்கு இரங்கி அதற்கு உதவ ஒரு நாகம் முற்படுகிறதென்றால், இந்த மண்ணின் மகிமை தான் என்னே!' என எண்ணினார்.

மறுகணமே, 'என் முதலாவது பீடத்தை அமைக்க இந்த புண்ணியம் நிறைந்த தலமே மிக பொருத்தமான இடம்' என உறுதிபூண்டார். பின் அங்கிருந்த பாறையின் மேல் அம்பாளின் எந்திரமான, ஸ்ரீ சக்கரத்தை வரைந்தார்.

அதன்பின் அவர் ஸ்ரீ சரஸ்வதி தேவியை தியானம் செய்தார். தேவியும் உடனே காட்சி தந்தாள்.

'தாயே... ஸ்ரீ சாரதை எனும் பெயரில் நீ இவ்விடத்தில் நிரந்தரமாக குடிகொண்டுபக்த ஜனங்களுக்கு அருள்புரிந்து வர வேண்டும்' என சங்கரர் பிரார்த்தித்தார்.

தேவியும், மகிழ்வுடன் அவரின் பிரார்த்தனைக்கு சம்மதித்தார்.

ஸ்ரீ சாரதையை பிரதான தெய்வமாக கொண்டு அன்றைய தினம் அவரால் தோற்றுவிக்கப்பட்ட பீடம், ஸ்ரீ சாரதா பீடம் என்றே அழைக்கப்பட்டு வரத் துவங்கியது

ஸ்ரீ சாரதா பீடத்திற்கு பிரதான வேதமாக யஜுர் வேதத்தை அறிவித்தார், ஸ்ரீ சங்கரர். கைலாசத்திலிருந்து தருவிக்கப்பெற்ற ஸ்ரீ சந்திரமவுலீஸ்வர ஸ்படிக லிங்கத்தையும், ஸ்ரீ ரத்னகர்ப கணபதி விக்ரஹத்தையும் மற்றும் மஹாமேரு எந்திரத்தையும் பீடத்தின் நித்ய பூஜைக்கென ஸ்ரீ சங்கரர் அளித்தார்

ஸ்ரீ சாரதா பீடத்தின் நிர்வாகத்தை தம் முக்கிய சீடரும் சாட்சாத் நான்முக பிரம்ம தேவனின் அவதாரமாகவே கருதப்பட்டஸ்ரீ சுரேஸ்வராசார்யாரிடம் ஸ்ரீ சங்கரர் ஒப்படைத்தார்

தம், 32 வயதில் இமயமலையில் உள்ள கேதார்நாத் திருத்தலத்தை அடைந்து, சிவபெருமானை வழிபட்டு பின், பனிபடர்ந்த மலைகளூடே சென்று மறைந்தார்.
