In fact in ur story u have listed only 7 though u mention 8. I have not come acroos the name `Surya chakram` in the literature on chakras. The names in the order from below are Muladhara, Swadhishtana, Manipura, Anahata, Visudha, Ajna and Sahasrara. U have left out Ajna which is considered to be located in the centre of the forehead.<BR/>In fact the Chakras is not the central theme of Harinamakirtanam. Chakras find mention only in one of the 66 verses in the book. It is the ninth verse where Ezhuthachan speaks of Yogis who pierce the six chakras, suggesting, they reach the seventh, Sahasrara.The central theme of the book is the permanence, and all pervading nature of Narayana. <BR/>I am translating the book into an English poem. Does anyone know if there is already a poetic translation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
