Siddhaguru (सिद्धगुर�) refers to one of the 62 rays of the Maṇipūra-Cakra which (together with the 54 rays of the Anāhata) are associated with the solar plane called Viṣṇugranthi, according to Śaṅkarācārya’s Saudaryalaharī.—Accordingly, the Goddess is visualised (by Sādhaka) as dwelling above the six Ādhāracakras ruling over the 360 rays which emanate in them [e.g., Siddhaguru]. These 360 rays represent 360 syllables (i.e., a consummation of the ś岹貹ñ or 50 alphabets) as well as the principles of nature. For the 360 syllables, together with and , Nyāsa should be performed for Śrīcakrapūjā.
