http://www.srividyasadhana.com Sri vidhya mantras -The main modes of worship in Sri Vidya are threefold: mantra, yantra and tantra. Mantra is the sacred sound current which is chanted to purify the mind, yantra is the sacred geometry which is associated with the different forms of God and Divine Mother and tantra encompasses any number of psychophysical techniques which transform the mind, body and spirit into a conduit for divinity to flow through. Śrī Vidyā is the name of a Hindu religious system devoted to the goddess Lalitā Tripurasundarī or simply Tripurasundarī ('Beautiful Goddess of the Three Cities'). The Sanskrit word vidyā means knowledge or lore; so the literal translation of Śrī Vidyā is Knowledge of the Goddess Śrī. In the theology of the Śrī Vidyā the goddess is supreme, transcending the cosmos which is a manifestion of her. The goddess is worshiped in the form of a mystical diagram (Sanskrit: yantra) of nine intersecting triangles, called the śrīcakra that is the central icon of the tradition. The name śrīvidyā is also used to refer to a specific mantra used in this tradition having fifteen syllables. This mantra is called the pañcadaśī; The Fifteen syllabled; and the pañcadaśākṣarī. She is also worshiped with a mantra of sixteen syllables called the ṣodaśākṣarī by some people. It must also be noted that the ultimate mantra in the system is "Shodashi" having 32 syllables. ... The underlying principle of the whole practice is to realize the ultimate unity of the Devata, the mantra, the teacher and the practitioner. To know more about, What is Sri Vidya Sadhana ?

2. Sri Vidhya mantra
Sri Vidhya mantra is the Mother Tripurasundari’s
mula mantra (root or core – mantra). Sundari’s
mantra is the famous Panchadashi or fifteen syllable
mantra. It has three sections (kutas), each ending
with the mantra Hrim, which mantra by itself can be
used to worship Tripura Sundari or Lalita.
KA E I LA HRIM
HA SA KA HA LA HRIM
SA KA LA HRIM
http://www.srividyasadhana.com

3. The above Pachadasi Mantra is derived
from the following verse,
KAMOYONIH KAMLA VAJRAPANIR
GUHA HASA MATRISHVABHRAMINDRA
PUNAR GUHA SAKALA MAYEYA CHA
PURUCHCHAIVA VISHVAMATADI VIDDYOM
KAMA (KA), YONI(AYE), KAMLA (EEE),
VAJRAPANI INDRA (LA), GUHA (HRING), HASA
VARNAS MATRISHVA-VAYU (KA), ABHRA (HA)
INDRA (LA), PUNAH GUHA HRING, SAKALA
VARNAS AND MAYA HRING

4. There are many ways to explain this mantra. Whole books
have been written on it. Below is a short examination of its
syllables Relative to the first of the three sections of the
mantra:
Ka is desire or the creator.
E is Maya or the power of illusion.
I is Vishnu or the Divine ruling power.
La is the power of bliss.
Relative to the second section:
Ha is space or breath-
Sa is time.
Ka again is creation.
Ha is breath or spirit renewed in energy.
La again is bliss.
Relative to the third section:
Sa is time as eternity or totality
Ka is origin and also the unknown.
La again is bliss.
Hrim repeated three times brings about a triple transformation of our
nature. Srim added at the end is the crowning glory and realisation

5. The first set of mantras is the head of the
Goddess, the second from her neck to her
hips, and the third the region below the
hips. The first set relates to Vak, the power
of speech the second to Kamaraja, the king
of love, and the third to the original Shakti
or power of transformation. These three
sections also relate to Brahma, Vishnu and
Shiva, to the three Vedas(Rig, Yajur, and
Sama).
This version of srividhya mantra that begins
with Ka is known as kadi vidya.
http://www.srividyasadhana.com

6. There is another version, which
omits some letters and gives
letters in a slightly different order
HA SA KA LA HRIM
HA SA KA HA LA HRIM
SA KA LA HRIM
This alternative version
commences the srividya mantra
with letter Ha and therefore
known as “Hadi Vidya”.
http://www.srividyasadhana.com

7. The former tradition said to have been
promulgated by Kama, is ascribed to a
line of teachers: Parama-Siva, Durvasa,
Hayagriva and Agastya and it is more
popular all over the country than the
other one. Tantra-raja-antra and
Vamakesvara-tantra are its chief
authorities. The latter tradition goes
back to Lopamudra, wife of Agastya, and
was prevalent in Kerala. The main text
on which this tradition relies is
Tripuropanisat.
http://www.srividyasadhana.com

8. There are several other versions of the srividhya mantra,
depending upon the main import that is sought to be
projected. That a group of five versions known as Panca-
sundari, was prevalent at one time has been mentioned in
some medieval text:
1) Verbal Communication(bhasa)
HA KA LA SA HRIM KA E LA SA HRIM KA LA SA HA
HRIM
2) Emanantion(Srsti)
HA SA KA LA HRIM HA LA KA HA SA HRIM SA KA LA
HRIM
3) Preservation(sthiti)
HA LA KA SA HRIM KA SA HA LA HRIM KA HA SA LA
HRIM
4) Absorption (samhrti)
HA LA KA SA HRIM KA SA HA LA HRIM HA HA KA LA
HRIM
5) Indeterminate state(nirakhya)
LA KA SA HRIM SA HA KA LA HRIM HA SA SA HA KA
HRIM
http://www.srividyasadhana.com

9. Sodasi-Vidya(16 letter mantra)
The Sodasi is substantially the same as pancadasi using same
letters in the same order, but adding the seed-syllable like SRIM
or AIM or KLIM at the end which is regarded as "secret"
OM KA E I LA HRIM HA SA KA HA LA HRIM SA KA
LA HRIM SRIM
or
OM KA E I LA HRIM HA SA KA HA LA HRIM SA KA LA
HRIM AIM
or
OM KA E I LA HRIM HA SA KA HA LA HRIM SA KA LA
HRIM KLIM
http://www.srividyasadhana.com

10. There are also extensions of panchadasi mantra like
Sapthdasa-vidya(17 letter mantra)
OM KA E I LA HRIM HA SA KA HA LA HRIM SA KA
LA HRIM SRIM HAMSA
Astadasa-Vidya(18 letter mantra)
AIM KA E I LA HRIM
HRIM HA SA KA HA LA HRIM
SRIM SA KA LA HRIM
http://www.srividyasadhana.com

11. Siddha Yamala Vidya (21 letter mantra)
KA E I LA HRIM HA SA KA HA LA HRIM SA KA
LA HRIM STRIM AIM KROUM KRIM KLAM HUM
Maha sodasi (28 letter mantra)
OM SRIM HRIM KLIM AIM SAU OM SRIM HRIM
KA E I LA HRIM HA SA KA HA LA HRIM SA KA
LA HRIM SAU AIM KLIM HRIM SRIM
http://www.srividyasadhana.com

12. Para-vidya (37 Letter mantra)
OM AIM KLIM SAU KA E I LA HRIM SAU
KLIM AIM
OM AIM KLIM SAU HA SA KA HA LA HRIM
SAU KLIM AIM
OM AIM KLIM SAU SA KA LA HRIM SAU
KLIM AIM OM
In all these instances, the basic structure is
that of panchadasi and care is always taken to
group the letters and other seed syllables into
three explicit units, with fourth unit either spelt
out or implied.

13. Other Deities Mantra's associated
with Srividya
There are many derivative deities from the

mother-goddess). She is also called Shyamala (dark in
complexion), and Mathangi(or RajaMathangi, in her
capacity to function like the gateway to Srividya). Her
mantra takes the following form,
AIM KLIM SAU AIM HRIM SHRIM OM
OR alternatively,
HRIM SHRIM KLIM AIM
OR again

commander of the forces of the mother
goddess, symbolizing might of srividya). She

the great consumer) who destroys the evil
forces that obstruct the devotee’s progress
and leads ultimately to Srividya. Her mantra
is,

panchadasi mantra , her formula form is,

http://www.srividyasadhana.com

16. Another divinity associated with sri vidya is
Pratyangira, whose involvement is mainly with
magic and sorcery. She is consider as a powerful
repellent of the influences generated by witch-
craft. In srividya sadhana, she protects the devotee
against all odds, and guides him along the path. Her
