Dear readers, here we are presenting Maha Shodha Nyasa PDF to all of you. According to the tradition, Siva, without characteristics is awareness. And Siva is one with Saktī. Her parts as represented by the Sodha Nyasa amount to 156, and comprise all visible manifestations. She is Maya Sakti, the Matrka or letters of the alphabet Devi, the heap of words and letters which delude men and women, and also those letters transformed by awareness into a mantra.
Her yantra is the Sri Cakra, which contains all letters within its heap of petals, lotuses, and lines. This yantra, which is a diagrammatic representation of the human body, is within the wheel of time. Worship using this ritual is intended to assist an aspirant to realize her or his oneness with the Saktī, with the yantra, and with time itself in all its manifestations.

In the nirvana sundarI krama, a peculiar procedure is adopted for performing the extremely essential mahAShoDhA nyAsa. The krama outlined below is specific to kAdi vidyA.
Every day, the nyAsa is performed at midnight, after the customary japa of ekAkSharI parA and before the japa of the turIya sandhyA devatA. For the siddhi of nyAsAdhikAra, it is mandatory to precede each of the nyAsas with haMsa ShoDhA nyAsa. The devatA for haMsA ShoDhA nyAsa is bhagavatI haMsa kAlI or brahma kAlI, who is kAdividyeshvarI. The sAdhaka is reminded of dire consequences by bhagavatI bimbAmbikA (quoting UrdhvAmnAya tantra), if he fails to perform haMsa ShoDhA nyAsa before any of the following nyAsas.
