---This historical background is quite fascinating, but limited in relavance as I see the situation. For example, I haven't found any good techniques associated with the Sri Yantra. There's the Sri Vidya mantra which I have chanted (and discarded in favor of others), and the Lalita Sahasranama chant (available from Ammachi), which is powerful but I listen to other chants. What's the message and conclusion associated with the fact that SBS used the Sri Yantra as a devotional icon? That because he did this I'm supposed to go out and buy a Sri Yantra?
His Sri Yantra was merely an external form. His inner practice was Sri Vidya. So if you were interested in that, you'd be initiated into Sri Vidya in either it's samaya, mishra or kaula versions.
