Welcome to Trinetram.
The Supreme Brahman
The Sahasrara Chakra, or Crown Chakra, is the seventh and highest energy center in the human body. Located at the crown of the head, it represents spiritual enlightenment, divine consciousness, and the ultimate realization of oneness with the universe. A fully activated Sahasrara Chakra transcends individual identity, allowing one to experience the Supreme Brahman—the infinite cosmic consciousness.
Ancient Scriptural References
The Sahasrara Chakra is revered in ancient yogic texts as the gateway to divine union and liberation. The Shiva Samhita describes it as the seat of supreme awareness:
As cited in Shiva Samhita, (Chapter 6, Verse 12) “सहस्रारं परमं ब्रह्म सर्वज्ञं ज्ञानरूपकम्।” (Sahasrāraṁ Paramaṁ Brahma Sarvajñaṁ Jñānarūpakam). Means, “The Crown Chakra is the Supreme Brahman, embodying omniscience and pure wisdom.”
Bijakshar (Seed Mantra)
The Bijakshar, or seed mantra, of the Sahasrara Chakra is OM. Chanting this mantra aligns the practitioner with the universal vibration, dissolving ego and fostering divine unity.
As cited in Shiva Samhita, (Chapter 3, Verse 30) “ॐ बीजं सहस्रारस्य।” (Om Bījaṁ Sahasrārasya). Means,”OM is the seed mantra of the Crown Chakra.”

Governing Deity (Lord Shiva in His Nirguna Form)
The governing deity of the Sahasrara Chakra is Lord Shiva in His Nirguna Form, representing the formless, infinite aspect of divine consciousness.
