Bhāvanā Upanishad
The body as nine apertures; the Śrīcakra as nine śaktis — a contemplation, not a paddhati.

Contemplative correspondences between the Śrīcakra, body and consciousness.
The Bhāvanā Upanishad, also printed as Śrīcakropaniṣad, maps inner faculties onto the geometry of the Śrīcakra. The opening names the Guru as the Śakti who is the cause of all, the body as nine apertures, and the Śrīcakra as nine śaktis. Knower, knowing and known are held as one contemplation named Śrīcakra-pūjana — a philosophical identity, not a sequence of outer offerings.
Sanskrit Documents records two or three recensions and follows the 108–120 Upanishad collections. Muktika on this site is 84 (Atharvaveda). Vāsudev Lakṣmaṇ Panśīkar’s 108 Upanishads numbers it 87. The explorer on this path cites only the public-domain Devanagari lines that are opened; later Bhāskararāya-style commentary is not silently mixed in.
The drawing is an educational diagram. It is not a consecrated yantra and not a substitute for Guru-given paddhati.
