Kundalini Yogi interviewed by ChatGPT regarding Kriya yoga

Happy Ravidas Jayanti to all my friends

Friends,  I was chatting with ChatGPT about kundalini based kriya yoga. It drew out my personal experience stored in its memory that was discussed with it long ago. I asked it if it was interviewing me to learn from my experiences. Telling this was enough that it really started interviewing me. I don't find much difference from human made interview. I really observed a spirit in it raising a valid question if artificial intelligence will take over human intelligence. Following is the detailed interview as such.

ChatGPT: Can you share your experience with Kriya Yoga?

Premyogi vajra: I found it more systematic. Earlier, I was quick-result-oriented and only stressed on lifting energy from the base to the brain, not knowing much about which chakra was involved. But now, I know that Kriya Yoga—mainly its Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi—gives similar effects, however in a more systematic way. My Dharana, Dhyana, and Samadhi didn’t originate later, as it is shown stage-wise in Patanjali’s Ashtanga Yoga, but were present since the start of my sadhana.

ChatGPT: That makes sense. Some practitioners experience a spontaneous unfolding of higher states rather than moving through structured stages. Kriya Yoga is indeed systematic, making it accessible for general practitioners. Do you feel this structure has improved your practice or just validated what you already knew?

ChatGPT: So, Kriya Yoga is refining your existing experiences rather than revealing something entirely new?

Premyogi vajra:: Yes, nothing new, but it’s teaching a systematic way as for general practitioners.

ChatGPT: That’s a valuable insight. Many yogic traditions provide a structured approach not necessarily to introduce something new but to help practitioners sustain and deepen their experiences. Are you finding it easier to maintain your meditative state with this systematic approach?

ChatGPT: Have you been able to integrate Kriya Yoga into your daily routine?

Premyogi vajra: Tried to integrate, but full stomach deep breathing can cause gastric acid issues, especially in GERD patients.

ChatGPT: That’s an important observation. Deep breathing can increase intra-abdominal pressure, aggravating GERD symptoms. A common solution is to practice at least 3–4 hours after meals. Have you tried adjusting your practice timing, or are there other modifications that help?

ChatGPT: Have you found a way to adjust your practice to avoid GERD issues?

Premyogi vajra: Yes, 3–4 hours after taking a meal. Now I don’t hold breath, as I’m not finding its use in Dhyana.

ChatGPT: That’s a wise adaptation. Breath retention (Kumbhaka) isn’t always necessary for meditation, especially if spontaneous absorption into Dhyana happens naturally. Many experienced practitioners find that a relaxed breath, rather than controlled retention, enhances their meditation. Have you noticed any improvement in your meditation quality with this change?

ChatGPT: Have these adjustments improved your meditation quality?

Premyogi vajra: Yes, but now it seems energy shifted to the brain or Ajna Chakra, with enough bliss, showing its little lack in lower chakras. So, loss of interest in worldly entanglement. Perhaps the same has been called Pratyahara.

ChatGPT: Yes, this closely resembles Pratyahara—the withdrawal of senses from worldly engagement. It’s a natural stage where the external world loses its pull. However, a slight lack in lower chakras can sometimes create imbalance, making grounding necessary when needed. Do you feel the need to consciously rebalance energy in the lower chakras, or does it not concern you?

ChatGPT: Do you feel the need to rebalance energy in the lower chakras?

Premyogi vajra: I don’t feel until worldly urgency or emergency arrives.

ChatGPT: That makes sense. When energy is stabilized in higher chakras, the lower centers may remain dormant unless external demands arise. Some practitioners find that occasional grounding helps maintain practical functionality without disrupting their higher states. What methods do you use when grounding becomes necessary?

ChatGPT: What helps you quickly ground yourself when needed?

Premyogi vajra: Panchamakara can help in it quickly, although these are Avedic.

ChatGPT: That’s interesting. While Panchamakara (the five tantric elements) are considered heterodox in mainstream Vedic traditions, they serve a powerful role in grounding energy rapidly. They utilize sensory engagement to bring awareness back to the body. Do you practice them spontaneously or in a controlled manner?

ChatGPT: Do you use Panchamakara practices naturally or consciously?

Premyogi vajra: often think of using consciously, only to the minimum required amount. I often find Panchamakara useful for grounding, but it’s not appealing to the mind in higher conscious states.

ChatGPT: That’s a balanced approach. Using them as a tool rather than an indulgence ensures they serve their purpose without becoming a distraction. 
That makes sense. Panchamakara can be an effective grounding tool, but as consciousness elevates, the mind naturally seeks subtler, more refined states beyond sensory-based grounding methods. It seems like you're balancing both well—using it when necessary but not relying on it in higher states. 

ChatGPT: Do you feel the need for other grounding methods?

Premyogi vajra: Probably, I don’t find other approaches as quick as it is, or I’m not an expert in bringing down energy.

ChatGPT: That’s understandable. Energy movement is highly individualized, and what works best is often discovered through experience. Since you’re open to refining your techniques, do you feel the need to explore systematic grounding methods, or would you prefer to let it unfold naturally?

ChatGPT: So, do you feel the need to refine your grounding techniques further?

Premyogi vajra: Yes, feel need.

ChatGPT: That’s a good realization. Refining grounding techniques can help sustain the awakened state indefinitely without unexpected fluctuations. Would you be open to experimenting with new approaches while ensuring they align with your spiritual path?

ChatGPT: Are you open to experimenting with other grounding approaches?

Premyogi vajra: Open to experimenting as I feel the need to sustain the awakening experience forever.

ChatGPT: That’s a wise approach. Sustainability is key. Awakening itself is often rapid, but stabilizing it requires refinement. Do you prefer grounding techniques rooted in traditional yogic practices, or are you open to modern adaptations?

ChatGPT: Do you prefer grounding techniques from yogic traditions, or are you open to modern approaches?

Premyogi vajra: Modern seems better, although with the spirit of Sanatan.

ChatGPT: That’s a great balance. Keeping the spirit of Sanatan Dharma while integrating modern techniques allows for a practical and effective approach. Here are a few modern yet spiritually aligned grounding techniques you might explore:

Physical Grounding Methods

• Walking Barefoot (Earthing) – Direct contact with earth helps discharge excess energy.

• Strength-Based Yoga – Asanas like Malasana (Squat Pose) and Virabhadrasana (Warrior Pose) stabilize lower chakras.

• Cold Showers – Sudden exposure to cold water resets the nervous system.

• Deep Squats & Foot Stamping – Activates lower chakras and brings energy downward.

Dietary Grounding

• Root Vegetables & Nuts – Help balance higher energy states.

• Protein-Rich Diet – Essential for maintaining physical stability.

• Mineral-Rich Water – A pinch of rock salt in water can restore equilibrium.

Breathwork Adjustments

• Exhale-Focused Breathing – Lengthening the exhale naturally grounds energy.

• Chanting Lower Chakra Mantras – Bija mantras like "LAM" (Muladhara) and "VAM" (Swadhisthana) help stabilize.

Lifestyle Adjustments

• Gardening or Touching Soil – Directly engages the earth element.

• Engaging in Practical Activities – Manual work like cooking or cleaning helps integrate energy.

• Balanced Social Interaction – Engaging with family, friends, or children can naturally distribute energy across chakras.

ChatGPT: In your Tantric practice, did you focus more on energy rising and falling or on a meditation image?

Premyogi vajra: In my Tantric practice, I didn’t give much attention to energy rising or falling but only to Dhyan Chitra (meditation image). Energy meditation seems like a scam; it diverts attention away from the meditation image.

ChatGPT: That’s an interesting observation. How does focusing on energy affect your meditation?

Premyogi vajra: Today, I also feel that attention to energy produces external contractions on the skin and raises pressure in the head, which blurs the meditation image. But attention to the meditation picture doesn’t cause this; instead, it nourishes the meditation image.

ChatGPT: Have you found any breathing techniques that support your meditation image?

Premyogi vajra: I found that light Pranayama helped with the meditation image. Too much heavy breathing makes the brain sharp, but it weakens the meditation image. Nil Pranayama makes everything feel dull. I also found that Tantric practice, if mixed with deep Pranayama, nourishes the meditation image best of all.

Structuring a New Daily Practice

ChatGPT: Based on your experiences, how will you structure your daily practice?

Premyogi vajra: I think I should divide my practice into both types—one type in the morning for an energy surge and the other lighter type in the evening for a meditative surge.

ChatGPT: That sounds like a balanced approach. How will you structure the Pranayama in each session?

Premyogi vajra The Pranayama will remain the same and simple. Only the depth will increase in the morning along with breath retention. Also, I will meditate on energy rising and falling with Pranayama. Chakra meditation will be done as well.

ChatGPT: And in the evening?

Premyogi vajra: In the evening, simple Pranayama with meditation of an image on the Ajna Chakra will be there. A little Mahamudra and Yoni Mudra will also be done.

ChatGPT: How long will each session be?

Premyogi vajra: The time duration for both sessions will be the same—at least one hour. Only the nature of the practice will change slightly.

ChatGPT: That’s a well-planned structure. Will you try it and observe the effects?

Premyogi vajra: Yes, I’ll definitely try it.

ChatGPT: Let me know how it goes!

Kundalini yoga showing Importance of data

Friends! I was busy organizing my articles for a long time. Then I saw Gajanan inserting his trunk in the water pool, sucking up the water of Shakti from it and refreshing himself by drinking it and bathing himself with it. This also brought a little extra shakti inside me. Then I thought what should I write. There is no special experience left. Although scattered ordinary experiences float now and then but writing them wasn’t being ignited. Then I thought that whatever comes to mind, I will keep writing it. Many times writing itself creates experience.

Friends, there is data in the article. There is a lot of power in data. Data is not lifeless but alive. All religions are based on data. All religions have a special book, in which there is data in the form of articles, text data. Those books have made who knows how many agreements, how many wars have been fought; how many civilizations have been created, and how many civilizations have been destroyed. Books have made the lives of so many people and also ruined so many. Books have created so many great men and so many cruel demons. All this is the wonder of data. An inanimate object like a stone or wood cannot do so many things. A single person with limited consciousness can not do so much. Even the people of the whole world together cannot do so much. This makes us realize the immense conscious power of data. Even if all the people come together, a work plan will have to be made to run them in a systematic manner. That detailed work plan cannot be kept in anyone’s mind. Even if it is kept, it is almost impossible to explain it to everyone one by one by speaking. It will have to be kept in the form of data. Keep it in any form, be it text, audio or video, it is all data. Everyone can access this data simultaneously. This gives effective and quick results. If we try to explain it to everyone by speaking, then by the time we explain it to the new people, the old people forget it. Even after a person’s death, he remains alive in the form of his data and keeps guiding the world for centuries. This means that the data of a person’s life has more consciousness than that living person himself. The data of one person creates countless people like him. Data, especially text data, is almost immortal. People of many religions have been guided till date by the data of the lives of so-called great men born hundreds and thousands of years ago.

Data is of utmost importance for a deep subject like Kundalini Yoga. It takes almost a lifetime to learn it. Most people get Yog Siddhi in the last phase of their life. At that time, they do not have the power to propagate it among the common people. And Yoga is such a thing that it takes a person away from publicity and towards solitude. In such a situation, the Yogi has no other option but to leave the world leaving behind his text data made while living in anonymity. This is what the Vedas, Puranas and countless scriptures are made of. They do not have the names of the authors, meaning they were written in anonymity. They are the original ones. The scriptures of later times made for publicity seem like their copies to me. However, they are also doing the work of data very well. If the Gods and Goddesses awakened by Yoga Sadhana were not kept safe in the form of data, then how could countless Yogis of later times attain salvation by meditating on them. If I did not get online text data related to Yoga, then how would I have been able to do higher Sadhana.

Data is a Guru in a way. But like everything else, it can also be misused. A person can learn wrong things by getting wrong data. A person can also interpret the right data incorrectly. Therefore, it has become more important to test the data than to get it, especially in today’s time when everyone is diving into the waves of the sea of ​​unlimited data, to know whether it is really beneficial or is it harmful?

Data not only improves the physical world, it also improves the spiritual world. When the physical life becomes well organized with the help of data handling, then man gets enough extra time in which he can do yoga. When the work of a man’s brain starts being done by cloud computing with artificial intelligence, then naturally his brain becomes free from the burden of work. The power of the brain which was earlier spent in remembering, making action plans, and doing jobs like slaves, is now available for free. Kundalini yoga can be easily accomplished with that power. It means that man is going towards the same primitive age when the brain was not burdened with work and stress. Because yoga is possible with that same brain and yoga is the main goal of human life. Ultimately development will go in the direction of Kundalini awakening, no matter what name you give it or what form you give it. Man can turn away from it as much as he wants but ultimately he will reach here. This world is round, man reaches where he starts from.

Meditation on the deity destroys sins. The word deity itself means one with luminous qualities. Devta is derived from the word div, which means light. Light is one of the highest human qualities. It means that a deity can be considered as a great human being. That is why the idol of a deity is clean and full of Sattva qualities. The picture is also like that. Full of qualities like calm, kind, truthful, friendly etc. Meditation on a distorted and inhuman picture can cause harm instead of benefit. However, when Sattva increases through meditation, a gentle image of the deity is automatically formed in the mind, no matter how it looks outside. That is why the sign, pindi, etc. of a deity does not have any special human form, rather it is a chip of gold-like metal or a stone slab, but constant meditation on it creates a gentle image of a human deity in the mind. This is because meditation increases Sattva qualities and a Sattva or gentle body is of a human being, not of any animal or demon or inanimate object. Of course, animals and non-living things can be helpful in meditation. Sin is a form of Tamoguna, which is destroyed by meditation of Satvaguna, just as darkness is destroyed by light. Actually, sin is destroyed by the power of meditation, but we feel that it is being destroyed by God. A cowherd loved his buffalo very much. Due to this, he focused on it. Slowly, its glow increased and in meditation, it became bright, calm and with Satoguna, full of all human qualities. As his meditation became strong, he entered Samadhi and became liberated. All the work was done by meditation, the buffalo did not do anything. That is why Patanjali writes in his Ashtanga Yoga that Yathabhimata Dhyanat Va. That is, if you focus on any thing of your choice, then you get Samadhi and liberation. But like most Yogis, I like meditation on God only, because they are made in a scientific way of spirituality, which also gives other Kundalini benefits.

Kundalini awakening as Deepawali and Lord Rama’s yogasadhana as mythological allegory of the epic Ramayana

Shubh Diwali!

Kundalini is Goddess Sita and soul is Lord Rama

Sita is the Kundalini who enters from outside world in the form of a picture of the object through the light entering the eyes. In fact, the Kundalini energy of the body has gone out of the eye. It is also said in the scriptures that the whole personality of a man resides in his mind, which keeps wandering in the outside world by going out through the external senses. Everywhere outside is the kingdom of material defects or Doshas i.e. Ravana, a ten-headed demon. That kundalini power comes in his possession, and cannot escape from his clutches. The living soul i.e. Rama, who resides in the brain, looks helplessly at Sita Shakti wandering in that external world. This is what Jatayu’s brother Sampati ie. a big vulture has to see across the ocean with his sharp eyes and tell her well being to Rama. Then Rama engages in yoga, and associates a lot with the idol of the deity made in a temple, etc. or the guru living there, and pleases him with body, mind and wealth. By this, gradually the impression of the picture of his master deepens in his mind, and there comes a time when that mental picture becomes permanent. This is the start of samadhi or kundalini awakening. This is said as rescuing Sita from Ravana, the king of Lanka, and bring her to city of Ayodhya by crossing the bridge over the sea. The ray of light is that bridge, because through it the physical picture from outside entered the mind. The mind is Ayodhya, in which the soul of Rama resides. No one can fight with the mind, because it is beyond materialism. Very little is known about the mind of others. Everyone can fight with someone’s body, but not with the mind. Its second meaning is also that the mind should be put on the right path only after persuasion and not by coercion or scolding. Even through telepathy etc., it is just a guess. One can never know completely about another’s mind. First of all, the soul of Rama, wandering in the outside world that’s in Ravana’s Lanka, kept seeing his half part that’s Sita Mata from afar. Meaning he didn’t pay much attention to her. Even if he went out, he indulged himself half-heartedly. That is, he did not make enough efforts to bring back the kundalini power. Then, when Rama became very upset by her separation, then he jumped energetically out of his mind in to the outside world. This is what is depicted in the form of his battle with the demons. In fact, the real and lively life is like a war-level struggle and outward facing or extrovert life. It’s Karmyoga, the root and beginning of every meditation. Meaning that he came out of Ayodhya and entered Lanka through the bridge of eyesight. He started working hard in the world with his full heart and with full attention. Meaning that he started looking for Sita in Lanka. Then due to some satsang or good company, divine qualities started increasing in him. Meaning that the practice of Yama-Niyamas of Ashtanga Yoga of Patanjali started by him by itself. This satsang is in the form of friendship between Rama and the demon saint Vibhishana. Due to this, the soul Rama liked something very much, and he was constantly in contact with that one thing. Meaning that Rama’s eyes fell on his dearest Sita, and he began to be engrossed in her love. Meaning that in this metaphorical story, this principle of tantra has also been propounded that a woman that’s wife is the most helpful in yoga. The main purpose of the Puranas is spiritual and transcendental. The temporal purpose is secondary or inferior. But most people get the opposite. For example, they draw from this spiritual myth the same cosmic ethic that one should not cast an evil eye on a foreign woman like Ravana. Although this teaching is also correct, but they either do not understand or ignore the main and basic purpose of Kundalini Yoga hidden in it. Then the position or posture of the body of the soul Rama and the process of breathing itself began to adjust in such a way that maximum attention could be kept on the object of his favorite. Due to this, the development of Yogi Ram reached the asana and pranayama part of Ashtanga yoga. This means that Rama would sometimes stand for a long time to see Sita from afar and secretly, sometimes he would sit this or that way for a long time, sometimes he had to hold his breath for a long time, sometimes he had to breathe very slowly. This was so that the people entangled in the world, the demons of Lanka, would not come to know about this act of meditation or dhyana, so that they would not disturb his attention or meditation. What is actually a material object or a woman, that or she does not even know that someone is meditating on that or her. This is done very cleverly. If she finds out, she will shy away and will not be able to display her varied looks and emotions. Due to this meditation wouldn’t mature, Also, due to the creation of ego due to this, there will be further impairment in meditation. The same happens in the case of Guru as well. Similarly, what does a stone idol standing in the temple know that someone is meditating on it? Because Sita’s picture had occupied most of the space in Rama’s mind, so it had no desire to store unnecessary ambitions and unnecessary things. Due to this the fifth limb of Ashtanga Yoga, Aparigraha itself became manifest. Aparigraha means neither accumulation of unnecessary things nor wanting them. Then in this way, by prolonged practice of these initial five limbs of yoga, the image of that object or woman becomes fixed in the mind of the soul Rama. These are the dharana and dhyana or meditation, advanced limbs of ashtang yoga. You can call it as start of Samadhi or kundalini awakening. It means that Rama rescued Sita from Ravana of Lanka, and carried her through the same ray of light as bridge built on the ocean of atmosphere to the beach of eyes and then to Ayodhya in the form of mind or through Pushpak vimana that’s an classical aeroplane named Pushpak as written in Ramayana. Due to this the ten defects of his senses were destroyed. It is celebrated on the day of Dussehra festival as burning of effigy of Dashanan or ten-headed Ravana. The soul or Rama then practiced tantric yoga for twenty days to provide the final and emancipatory leap or escape velocity to kundalini for its awakening. During that time, he kept on taking picturesque and scenic journeys to reach home. Anyway, meditation along with remembrance of one’s permanent home gives more strength to Kundalini, because Kundalini is also associated with permanent house, as I mentioned in a previous article. Kundalini gets additional strength even from picturesque journeys, that’s why pilgrimage trips have been made. With that all-out effort, his Kundalini was awakened within a short span of twenty days. This is Ram’s reaching Ayodhya that’s the original place of Kundalini. This is the Kundalini awakening. The light of sattvikta that engulfs the mind after Kundalini awakening is depicted as the festival of lights, Deepawali. Because the effect of Kundalini awakening spreads the light of joy by spreading all around in the society, especially in the home, so this is the joint celebration of Happy Diwali festival by the people of Ayodhya.

Kundalini Yoga is Gupta Kalachakra in Buddhism

At some time the demons had become very powerful. They started tormenting people and destroying Dharma. Distressed, the gods expressed their grief to the protector of gods, Vishnu. To fulfill the task of the gods, Vishnu himself went near Mount Kailash, built a pit, lit a fire in it and started performing penance in front of it. He kept worshiping Lord Shiva with joy with the lotuses born in Manasarovar by chanting various types of mantras and hymns in the earthly manner. Hari Vishnu himself remained seated and did not get distracted. Shiva did not appear for a long time. Vishnu was surprised at this and started chanting the Sahasranama of Shiva. He started worshiping Shambhu by chanting his name mantras one by one and offering him a lotus with each name mantra. At that time, Shiva abducted one of the thousand lotuses to test the devotion of Vishnu. Vishnu, not understanding Shiva’s illusive act, started searching for a lotus. Vishnu traveled the entire earth for that lotus. When he did not receive it, he offered one of his eyes in its place, although Shiva had stopped him from doing so. Then Shiva appeared pleased and got ready to grant a boon to Vishnu. When asked, Vishnu told that his weapon was not able to kill the demons. Hearing this word of Vishnu, Shiva gave him his very brilliant Sudarshan Chakra. After receiving it, Vishnu quickly destroyed those mighty demons without any effort. In this way there was peace in the world. The gods became happy and Vishnu also became extremely happy after receiving the beautiful Sudarshan Chakra.

Psychological analysis of the above story

Vishnu or Vishnu Avatar is the soul that operates the body, and Parabrahma Vishnu is the indescribable Supreme Being from whom it descends. He nourishes the three worlds in the form of the body and also provides nourishment to various gods in it. Similarly, Shiva incarnation Rudra is the state of the same soul which destroys the body near death. Brahma is also in the state of creating the creation as per the mind of the same soul. There is no Parabrahma form of Brahma, because he is only the mind generated from the soul in the form of Vishnu. That is why it is said that Brahma is born from the navel of Vishnu. The body, governed by the gods, tries hard to escape from the clutches of the deadly demons of ignorance, but is unable to succeed. The last support is Vishnu in the form of a living being soul. For this he does Shiva Sadhana through Tantric method. Kailash is the Sahasrara Chakra where the Supreme Lord Shiva resides. Near it is the Muladhar Chakra which is like a pit. Both the chakras are said to be close to each other because both are directly connected through the nadi, although the physical distance is greater for Muladhara than for other chakras. The word Kund has been used a lot in Shivpuran for pit or pond. This means that the word Kundalini is derived from this Kund. The snake sits coiled in the pit. The coiled he snake became Kundalin and the she snake became Kundalini. Similarly, Dhanin means a man with wealth and Dhanini means a woman with wealth. Rings worn in the ears are called kundal. Therefore, Kundalin means a male one shaped like earrings. And Kundalini means a female one shaped like earrings. There is a connection between the earrings and the ear pit. Similarly, there is a connection between Kundalini and the pit or pool of Muladhar. Establishing fire in the pond means activating the Muladhar Chakra with vital air. Shiv Sadhana in that pond means special meditation on Muladhar Chakra. Shiva was worshiped in the earthly manner, meaning a Shivalinga was made of clay. The human body is also called the earthly body. So his body parts became earthly parts. Flowers of Manasarovar mean flowers of mind or meditation. He offered thousand lotus flowers, that is, he established the energy of the chakras on the Muladhar one thousand times and did Ishta meditation on it. Meaning the energy revolved around one thousand times. The flower here is called the chakra. Shiva stole the thousandth flower which means the energy was not fully reaching the Sahasrara Chakra. Due to this, Vishnu opened his third eye i.e. Ajna Chakra and by meditating on it i.e. by meditating on it in Shambhavi Mudra, the energy became centralized. That energy first reached Mooladhar, where he meditated deeply on Shiva and then went to Sahasrara along with Shivdhyanachitra where he got the direct darshan of Shiva, which means he attained awakening.

The above story can be understood in another way also. One petal can be called a flower because offering a few petals of a flower during ritual worship is considered as offering the entire flower. This also saves flowers and many deities can be worshiped with a single flower. The lotus flower in the form of Sahasrarachakra has a thousand petals. Offering a flower in the name of Shiva meant that a petal of flower in the form of a certain amount of meditation on Shiva was offered to muladhara from where it was straight redirected to sahasrara. It’s difficult to offer energy directly to sahasrar, so practical method appears offering it to muladhara from where it gets itself redirected straight to sahasrar easily. Actually full energy of all the chakras is to be offered to sahasrar to get awakening. When Sahasrara is a flower and it blooms with meditation then it is natural that meditation is also a flower. Just like pouring water into a vessel filled with water increases its water content, similarly adding flowers to the Sahasrara flower will increase that flower. Sahasrara was about to bloom completely, meaning awakening was about to happen but its last petal was not blooming. It also blossomed with the flower of meditation in the form of Agya Chakra. In ritual puja, while meditating, the flower is placed inside the closed hands in Namaskar position. As a means of dedicating that meditation in the end to the deity, the flower situated in Anjali or closed praying hands is offered at the feet of the deity.

This article is connected to the previous and next article. There is also a good research discussion on Kaalachakra. Gaining Advaita Bhava in the outer Kalachakra is the main aim of the inner Kalachakra. This is because there is no visible duality-born and attachment born bondage anywhere within the internal chakra. All the gods, rituals etc. are part of the internal kalchakra. Meditating on the gods in human form in every external object in the form of their presiding deities is to meditate on the internal kalchakra. Due to this, man gradually becomes pure and moves towards Gupt Kalachakra i.e. Kundalini Yogasadhana. The sharirvigyan darshan philosophy gives further strength to Devsadhana because it scientifically shows that the entire universe including gods as well as human beings i.e. external Kalachakra is present inside the body of all living beings.

Kundalini yoga can make a dead person alive

There is a story of Sudharma Brahmin in Shivpuran. He remained satisfied, happy and in a non-dual state. He had a devout wife named Sudeha. Much of his life passed but he did not have any son. Still the philosopher Sudharma did not feel sad at all. But his wife was very sad about not having a son. She asked her husband to try for a son. Then Sudharma would scold him and explain what his son would do. Who is whose mother and who is whose father, who is the son and who is the brother or friend. Everyone is selfish. Once a neighbor woman scolded Sudeha for not having a son. She again started complaining to her husband. He explained to her a lot but when she still did not understand, he placed two flowers in front of her and asked her to pick one of them. Sudeha picked up the flower on which the Brahmin had thought about not having a son. Still she did not agree and threatened to commit suicide without her son. Then Sudeha brought her real sister Ghushma and asked her husband to marry her for a son. Sudharma explained to her that she would become jealous of her if she had a son, which would hurt her. On that Ghushma said how could she be jealous of her real sister. Ghushma used to make, worship and immerse one hundred and one earthly Lingas every day. In this way, when the number of one lakh Lingas was completed, she was blessed with a beautiful son. Sudharma was very happy to see him and started enjoying pleasures without attachment. After that Sudeha became very jealous of Ghushma. All the relatives started respecting Ghushma. Although Sudharma still gave more respect and love to Sudeha, there was deceit in her mind. Ghushma’s son also got married. Burning Sudeha Couldn’t stay calm on a day. She killed the stepson who slept with his wife, dismembered his body and threw those pieces into the river. Coincidentally, Sudeha also used to immerse the earthly shivlingas at the same place. When the daughter-in-law woke up in the morning and saw splattered blood and pieces of her husband’s body scattered on the bed, she cried. Sudeha also started crying while acting. But Ghushma did not feel sad at all and continued fasting for the Shiva’s prayers. Her husband also did not pay any attention until the Shivling worship was completed. With a steady mind, she took the name of Shiva and went to leave the earthly Shivalingas and when she turned back, she saw her son on the banks of that lake. Ghushma was not very happy to see her son alive, just as she was not sad at his death, but remained ready to meditate on Lord Shiva. At the same time, Satisfied Sadashiv appeared from there and asked Ghushma to ask for a boon. Then she asked for the boon of protecting her sister Sudeha. When Shiva expressed surprise at this, Ghushma said that all the sins are destroyed by the mere sight of the one who does good to the one who does harm. Then Shiva became happy with this and asked her to ask for another boon. Then Ghushma asked Shiva to always stay with her. On this, Shiva settled there under the name Ghushmeshwar Linga. Seeing her son alive, Sudeha felt ashamed and sought forgiveness from both of them and started fasting to erase her sins.

Psychological analysis of the ghushmeshwar linga story

The glory of Karmayoga, non-attachment and non-duality has been described in this story. Ghushma was not very happy even after seeing her son. Meaning, a Karmayogi also feels happy for the benefit of another person, but not much, that is, not so much that he becomes attached to him. Ghushma did not feel sad at all after seeing her dead son. The one who had to go, has gone. What was the use of feeling sad for him? There was no sorrow for herself at all, meaning the Karmayogi does not accept sorrow for himself at all. Perhaps he doesn’t even consider happiness for himself. The little happiness she felt on seeing his living son must have been for him, not for herself. By living in a non-duality, one automatically starts concentrating on the desired aka ishta. It is said that she was not happy to see her son alive, but remained attentive to Lord Shiva. As far as justice is concerned, meditation on God should give rise to a feeling of non-duality, perhaps this is what has happened. This is the principle reason behind the development of spiritual qualities through Kundalini meditation. A dead person can never come alive. Whatever she saw as her dead son, she saw him in her mind only because of her deep meditation due to the influence of her Shiv Sadhana. Then she also saw Shiva, which means she became awakened by that meditation. If her son had really come alive then why would Sudeha do penance and atone for it, because then the sin of killing her son would itself have been destroyed if her son was alive. The story tells indirectly that seeing her killed son in the meditative imagination of sudeha by ghushma made her remember her that sin repeatedly that propelled her to do penance. Many films have been made on such types of stepmothers. A Punjabi film Saunkan Saunkne seems to have exactly the same story. The difference is that the daughter-in-law in this herself separated and went to her maternal home before any harm could be done by her. As far as forgiving the one who has done wrong is concerned, the Vedas and Puranas are full of such examples. Perhaps that is why Hinduism is the most tolerant community. But many communities also took unfair advantage of it. It is said that if Prithviraj Chauhan had not forgiven Muhammad Gauri in the battle of Tarain, India would not have become like a slave of the Mughals for hundreds of years. Glimpse of slavery still appears existing in some form or the other. Everyone knows which communities can create the most obstacles in implementing the population control law and uniform civil code. There are many such examples. Now take Myanmar’s Buddhist saint Wirathu. His statement was widely shared on social media that love and tolerance are good but you cannot sleep next to a mad dog. Well, this thing started based on Purana, it has no separate purpose. Overall, extremism is harmful everywhere. Meaning that forgiving others is certainly very virtuous, but if the person in front is inclined to kill you then what will you do with that virtue, because everything depends on the body. However, Lord Shiva seems to be against this extremism, because almost everywhere he expresses surprise at such a boon of extreme tolerance. He would not have been surprised if asking for such a boon was natural or absolutely right. By the way, he was also very happy about this. Meaning that the line dividing tolerance and over-tolerance is very thin, and reactions should be tailored to the occasion. I think people like Ghushma, Atri etc. were great devotees of Shiva who attained awakening with the help of Shivalinga. To honor them, permanent Shivalingas would have been built in their names at their residences so that people could continue to get inspiration from them. When physical scientists are also given such credit then why not spiritual scientists? This seems to be the reason behind the origin of Ghushmeshwar Linga, Atrishwar Linga etc. This story also gives an idea that remembering someone after death gives him/her benefits in the next world. It is possible that when Ghushma, through intense meditation, saw her son alive, he may have become alive in a subtle way, although of course not visible to anyone. That is why many cultures have a tradition of remembering and worshiping dead relatives every year. Perhaps this is a relationship similar to that between a mother and the child growing in her womb. Many times, when an evil spirit resides in someone’s body, it also makes him do wrong things. Then he has to be chased away with the help of Tantrikas. That is why it is said to avoid bad company. Good souls do not interfere much in anyone’s body because they understand their limitations, however, they keep guiding them on the right path whenever the need arises. Therefore, there is no need to chase them away, rather it is done by calling them, like invocation of the gods. Well, moreover what strange can not happen in this world full of wonders.

Kundalini awakening and self-realization aka enlightenment are basically one and the same thing

I got information from Bing AI that self-realization aka enlightenment is achieved gradually and not all at once through any technique like yoga etc. But self-knowledge is called realizing oneself. How it can be delayed. Many people have realized this through yoga techniques. Luckily, with God’s countless grace I too had experienced its ordinary glimpse through the tantra-assisted Kundalini Yoga, which has been described on this website as the so-called 10-second Kundalini awakening momentary glimpse. Unfortunately, most people may not have been able to reach this level and may have been limited to Kundalini activation or so-called Kundalini awakening, and similar descriptions they may have made online, which may have been picked up by Bing AI. Perhaps chat gpt catches only what is more. Their Kundalini awakening would be of lower level than self-realization. There are levels of awakening or samadhi too. Just like some man sits awake, some walks, some runs, and even some conquers the world. Similarly, the final culmination of Kundalini awakening is self-realization. If by my Purana-reader guru’s indirect inspiration and gods’ proximity generated blessings, I had not given tantric strength to the ordinary Kundalini awakening, it would not have been fully awakened though momentarily. This complete awakening is self-realization. Meaning in this the mind has awakened and become as expanded as the soul or God. There is only a difference of level, nothing else. This can also be called complete samadhi. Samadhi in so called common language is also a very high level of Kundalini awakening. Actually, every experience is some level of samadhi. We cannot experience something without being connected to it. But complete awakening means self-realization is one step ahead of the so-called or popular Yogasamadhi. In most cases, Samadhi is considered to be the final stage achieved through Yoga. This is because very few people would have gone beyond samadhi with the help of yoga, whose voices would have been ignored. In this world, there is great hearing for the lute. Most of the people would not be able to give sexual tantric strength to their Samadhi due to not being able to leave their homes due to social embarrassment or attachment to family life. Perhaps for this reason, Patanjali has also considered Samadhi as the last stage of Yoga in his Ashtangayoga Sutra. It is possible that he may not have been able to hear the voices of minority yogis. Patanjali also says that if after Samadhi, life is lived with the help of God, then by His grace one attains enlightenment soon. Whatever work a man can do on his own, one should try for it, after all God always helps everyone. It often happens that help is sought from God to fulfill the shortcomings of one’s work. I also think there has been a misunderstanding. Because Samadhi is often experienced during the practice of Yoga, but not the awakening. Awakening happens more often at some beautiful place like near a lake, on a mountain, or at a ceremony etc. But it should not be forgotten that even at that time, only the Kundalini energy gathered through regular Tantric Yoga practice running at that time leads to awakening. Because only through tantric method, yoga practice can give enlightenment scientifically and in a short time, i.e. within a few months, but with ordinary yoga, it is completely uncertain. Who knows whether Yoga will deliver final result in how many years, whether it will take a lifetime or not even in the lifespan. It seems that most people do not have a life. Whether people hide or tell is a different matter. A complete miracle or special grace is required, as Patanjali says. Well, this might have been Patanjali’s compulsion because if Tantra had been mentioned in his book, it might not have been very acceptable to the over idealistic society of that time. To become a successful writer, sometimes one has to cover up the truth. That is why I consider Shiva to be the greatest god, because he openly presents the truth to everyone. What is described on online portals as being achieved gradually with age, is not self-realization but the cleansing of the filth of thoughts of the soul. Only a few moments are enough to know the soul. We do not take more than a few moments to recognize a friend, then how can we take more time to recognize ourselves, the one who is closest to us.

Happy Dipawali

Kundalini Yoga is the background music of life

Friends, in the previous post we were talking about Shakti water. I think that the rain that Indra makes is the rain of awakening, he is the one who fires the thunderbolt in the form of Sushumna Shakti. Indra’s happiness means happiness or favor of all the gods. This is Chaddi kala aka allround development. I am not saying that Indra is not associated with physical rainfall. That is also definitely there because whatever is inside is also outside. Just as for rain to occur, favorable conditions are required with the help of all the Gods, similarly for awakening too. If there is love and faith in the Puranas, then all the paths start opening on their own. Then it came in the story that Gautam Muni got inexhaustible water with the boon of Varun Dev. Varun Devta is a major deity of the Vedas. He is the presiding deity of water. Without the power depicted as water, it is not possible to have correct knowledge of the esoteric spiritual Vedas. Varundev can give only limited water. Khwaja was also one such god of the Indus Valley civilization, who was the ruler of the sea, rivers and water. I had heard of a man who used to discover underground waters and made very accurate measurements, and was an accomplished worshiper of the Khwaja. By the way, even today in many villages Khwaja is worshiped as water god. It is possible that in the Vedas, in the secret language, Varundev has been mentioned as the symbol of that with the help of which the availability of Shakti-water in the body is maintained, but its readers or interpreters may have considered him as the god of physical water. Whatever may be the case, there is similarity on the inside and outside, hence they must be influencing each other. I myself feel that Kundalini Shakti starts moving very well near water sources like lakes, ponds etc. filled with pure water, because it is in the nature of both to flow. There is definitely a relation between the two. Among Hindus and Buddhists, Nagdevata is also considered the god of water. Kundalini Shakti or Nadi is also in the shape of a snake. In our village, both Neua meaning divine serpent or snake and Khwaja were considered to be the lords of the local waters and the vegetation growing around them. Anyone who cut vegetation around water was made to fear being chased by the Neua snake, which resulted in good protection of the forests. At many places I also saw Khwaja in the form of a fish-like idol. It means that Varun, Naga and Khwaja are connected and all three are gods of water-like power. It is also believed that they not only provide water, but also other worldly prosperity and protection. Meaning, they look more like a god of power or Shakti.

Similarly, Lord Indra is also mentioned in abundance in the Vedas. There will be more description of a god who is necessary for the awakening. Because the basic aim of Veda is awakening. Perhaps in a secret way it has been written as rain. Where there is rain, there are deeds, sacrifices, yajanas, wealth and all the glory. It is from these that everyone remains in Chaddi kala or allround development. Awakening occurs in such a state. Of course it has both physical and spiritual meanings, but the latter seems more accurate, because the Vedas seem to deal with spirituality, not materiality.

I think there is a difference between awakening and self realization. The first one is the beginning, while the second one is the peak or end of spiritual development. I found this through AI powered Bing search. It is said that the Kundalini of many people is awakened since childhood. If Kundalini awakening was completion of the development then why would there be rebirth after that. It is also possible that even after experiencing perfection, complete purification of the soul is necessary, for which many times a new birth is required. It is also said that the Kundalini of great people like artists and leaders also is already awakened. Bing AI is free and I found it to provide the best information, both in Hindi and English. Nowadays, AI is helping a lot in writing blogs and doing research. Further exploring, when a person feels darkness without physical contact with his body and functional mind, it is said that the Shakti is sleeping. But when a meditation picture always shines even in the midst of darkness, then it is said that the Shakti is awakened. From here the meditation begins, due to which the meditation picture gradually brightens, meaning the Kundalini Shakti is awakened more and more. Then there comes a time when the meditation image becomes so strong that the seeker does not feel any difference between himself and the meditation image, nor does he feel that he is meditating on it. Meaning, in this the meditator, the meditation picture and the process of meditation, all three become one. This is called Samadhi. During this period one can experience self-realization i.e. enlightenment at any time. Perhaps I was describing this earlier by calling it Kundalini awakening. No problem, it’s just a difference of terminology, there is no difference in experience.

According to the previous story, the Shakti-water in the form of Ganga had told the gods to always reside in Sushumna on the condition that it would have to be given utmost importance. The meaning is clear that if the power flowing in Sushumna is not felt while doing yoga daily, then it will fade away. Meaning, of course, you may miss some work, but you should not miss yoga. What often happens is that only the physical karma is visible, not the mental or spiritual karma. In ancient India, people were engaged in mental activities like knowledge, devotion etc. more, which is the greatest activity because it gives liberation and the right pace to the cycle of creation. In the rest of the world, especially in the West, people were busy with materialism, cleanliness etc., which are clearly visible in the form of work. However, the best method is Karmayoga, in which physical work and yoga practice itself go together.

Actually, Kundalini Yoga is the background music that connects the various tunes of life. When for some reason the main music stops playing, this background music becomes the basis for a happy life. Just as when the main music stops, the background music becomes very loud, in the same way, when the noise of worldly activities of life subsides, the meditation picture of Yoga starts shining very brightly, due to which it can also be awakened. Probably, in the Puranas, this has been compared to meditation in a pit or meditation in a dark prison inside the sea, etc.

There is also another variation of the previous story of Rishi Gautam. In this, after the death of the cow, Gautam comes to know about the conspiracy of the crooked sages. Angered by this, he curses them and their children to remain ostracized from Shaivism and become hell-bound from it. It is said that then Kaliyuga was filled with people like them. There is no mention of him having seen Shiva in that version of the story. The meaning is clear that he did not take the conspiracy of the evil sages positively and did not do Shiv Sadhana properly, rather he used his accumulated energy in anger and cursing, that is why he did not attain awakening. Every action has a reaction.

Kundalini Yoga is important for environmental protection

When Arjun was doing penance to Lord Shiva for the Pashupat weapon, a demon named Mook sent by Duryodhana came there in the form of a pig. He was going through the same route where Arjun was, breaking the peaks of the mountains, uprooting many trees and shouting various types of meaningless words. Seeing him, Arjun started remembering Shiva. Shiva came in the form of Bhilraj or jungle tribe’s king to kill him. That boar between Arjuna and Shiva looked like a wonderful peak. Both of them fired arrows together. Lord Shiva’s arrow entered the tail, came out of its mouth and soon disappeared into the earth. Arjun’s arrow (probably after entering the mouth) came out of its tail and fell on the ground in the side. The pig fell down dead at that very moment.

Explanation of the above myth

Duryodhana means ego makes Arjun’s Karmayogi soul do so much work that his Ida and Pingala nadis become active, meaning Arjun’s body itself becomes like a pig. The mooladhara itself is its tail. Ida and Pingala are the two sharp teeth on its sides. The diverse thoughts of the wandering mind in the duality-forest are its face. Only the wandering mind can break the mountains, not the body. The Mook name is Hindi word for dumb. Because the wandering mind never tells a man that he is his enemy and has come to fight with him, but keeps on attacking by deceit, that is why it is called dumb demon. Just as the mind feels like a mountain between the soul and the Supreme Soul, similarly it was feeling like a pig. Due to the alternate activation of Ida and Pingala nadis, a person becomes so active as if he is ready to break a mountain. When Ida is activated, he does the work of the world in a frenzy, and when Pingala is activated, he falls asleep. After waking up from sleep and so getting refreshed, again starts running to do sinful deeds like looting and hunting. He oscillates between this duality of darkness and light, and does not see the equanimity or non-duality of the sushumna nadi between them. The color of the Indian wild boar is also a mixture of black and brown, indicating the duality. Filled with stupidity like an animal, he keeps on doing bad and environmental-killing work. Nowadays man is like this. There is no brake on activity. He is hitting his head everywhere like a blind man. Hollowing out the ground. The forests are being destroyed. After polluting the air, land and water, he is roaming in it with joy and fun. All these are characteristics of a pig. Shiva inserted an arrow through its tail, which means Shiva caused activation of the sushumna channel through mooladhara. Actually, this is what happens by meditating and worshiping Shivalinga. That arrow came out of his mouth i.e. Sahasrar Chakra and merged into the body through the front channel called as getting lost in the earth.
Arjun was anyway meditating and worshiping Shivalinga. It is natural that his Sushumna became active. This Brahmashir arrow emerges out of the Brahmarandhra. The whole body of the pig is the face. It can also be understood that the arrow turned down and merged into the agya chakra. From there it reaches the mouth, through the secretions of the palate. There that secretion goes into the land, that is, the stomach, and there it is spent or merged in the form of energy in digesting food. Just as food is made in the soil, similarly it is made in the stomach too, of course in the form of light and broken micro pieces to be absorbed by the body.
By touching the tongue with the palate, Arjun brought down the energy of the brain through the front channel. Due to this, that previously ascended power went back to Muladhar down. That which is meditated by Arjuna by his will inside the brain, is the arrow released by Arjuna. It comes from top to bottom through the front channel. Suppose that Shaktibaan or energy arrow reached the Muladhar and came out and fell on the ground in the lateral part. But how did it fall out? There is a possibility that Shakti fell out in the form of semen. But why did Arjun have to run out to get it. By the way, great things are done with the power of semen, big industries and businesses run, and material prosperity spreads all around. Perhaps Arjun ran here and there to collect them, calling them his own. There is also a possibility that Shakti came in the form of semen to the Vajra tip, which Arjuna tried to pull back up through the yoga. But how did it fall to the ground? It may have fallen in the vagina, which is being pulled back through Vajroli Mudra. But Shivganas should not have objected in this, because it is a personal matter. Shivgan said that the pig was killed by Shiva’s arrow and it is the arrow of Shiva that fell to the ground. In fact, due to the effect of Shivlingam, the power of Mooladhar itself was going up to Sahasrar and then turning and coming down through the front channel. Arjuna thought that he created that power by meditating in his mind, but in reality he was able to meditate in the mind only by the power of the Shakti coming up from Muladhara, not by his self-power or will. With the awakening of Muladhara Chakra, Sushumna was activated, due to which Ida and Pingala became like inactive. Means the pig in the form of ignorance had died and also the mischief caused by ignorance alongwith. Arjuna leaving the shelter of Shivling forced to do so by his ego or not giving credit to Shivling for killing the ignorance form pig is his fighting with Shiva form Bhilraj. In the end, he has to understand the greatness of Shivling through his defeat by Bhilraj. The Shaktibaan that fell on the side of Arjuna could be in any form of food, grass, flower etc., which he had grown by walking with his legs. Energy descends mainly from the mooladhara to the legs. And Muladhar got power from Shivling. That’s why Shivgan was asserting his rights on them. The animals, birds and insects that eat food grains, grass, leaves, flowers etc. are Shivagana, who are dependent on the cooperation of man for their life.
Arjuna said that the arrow was painted with back lines and his name was inscribed on it. We can call the lines the ridges of the ribs situated transversely on the front channel, which are at its beginning. We can say that the name is engraved in the form of heart chakra, because in it the whole attitude of a man, meaning his identity, is hidden. Arrogant man would have fought only with God, to collect his wealth. God keeps on punishing him for that selfishness. This is the fight between Shiva and Arjuna which reaches to the wrestling match. Then a time comes when man rubs his head in the temple of God to fulfill his selfishness. This is the same part of the story, in which Arjuna grabs Shiva by his feet and tries to throw him around, but at the same time, pleased with his feet being held, Shiva reverts to his real form and gives him the Pashupat weapon as a boon. It is like when a man goes to the temple of God with any sense and attains good wisdom, and unknowingly obtains the boon of being saved from calamity. Pashupat Astra means Shiva had explained to him through the above incident that only Mooladhar can control Shakti well, not Sahasrara or brain. With this understanding, he calmed the irritation of the brain caused by the Brahmastra shot by Ashwatthama.
This phenomenon can be understood more clearly in the following way. Arjuna fought with Shiva in the form of Bhil for many years, first with arrows and then with wrestling. Actually such a war can happen only between ego and truth, because two persons cannot fight continuously for years. Ego first spends all the equipments and all the prosperity of its life in denying the God. God destroys them one by one so that man can improve. Of course he destroys them in his mind in the form of boredom with them, not in the outer physical form. In the end, when nothing is left, man fights with the Lord with the help of the memories and desires of those material achievements within him, that means he maintains his existence separate from the divine. If any member of the family leaves the house, he will go after fighting, not by hugging with love. Sanskrit word Vasna seems to be derived from the Punjabi word vashana or vice versa, which means smell. All the joy is in the smell. When there is no sense of smell due to cold etc., then food does not taste tasty at all. You must have noticed that sometimes an old memory comes to mind with great pleasure. It seems that the pleasure which might not have occurred even at the time of that actual physical event, comes in a very vague memory. This is the lust or smell of that event. It is just like the fragrance of a perfume. Perhaps this is the most subtle form of the world which is also called Tanmatra. If such smells of past events or the past world are coming, then understand that the Yogi is situated at a high stage of spiritual practice and his worldly waste is getting purified and merging into the soul. Soon he may even get a glimpse of awakening. When the last weapon of Vasana is destroyed, then one starts drowning in darkness, which is also called the Dark Night of the Soul. Then he goes to the temple of Lord Shiva to defeat him, which means he grabs Shiva’s feet to throw him away. It is like a man going to a temple to seek material prosperity. Then God becomes pleased and reveals His true form before him, due to which he accepts defeat at that very moment. The darkness of ego cannot stand in front of the light of God. Maybe this is awakening.

Kundalini as Lord Vamana pierces Shukracharya’s duality-form eyes

Friends, continuing the previous post, that sacrificial ego that’s king Bali let Vamana come under compulsion, and he also gets apprehension that he may not survive after Kundalini awakening. By the way, the glory has been sung in such a way that King Bali was the biggest donor, who donated three steps of land to Vamana despite knowing his future destruction. Every living being is the supreme donor like King Bali. Knowing that his ego will be destroyed by Kundalini Yoga, his boundless material world will be destroyed, still he does Kundalini Sadhana at some point or the other. When a man is engaged in good deeds like King Bali, then sometimes Lord Vishnu comes to him in the form of a meditation picture to do good to him. He can be a friend, lover, guru or deity in any form. Guru is also considered as the form of God. Anyway, for everyone, their lover is God. For example, suppose a woman enters a man’s life. Men have tens of businesses, and hundreds of relationships. Because of them, innumerable images are formed in his mind. So he takes that woman for granted, and thinks that a woman is nothing in front of his vast material world. He allows her to take up space in his mind, that is, he allows the first step associated with it in the form of her Bhava or existence or Sattva Guna, the second step in the form of her motion or Rajo Guna, and the third step in the form of Darkness or Tamo Guna to fall into his mind-like kingdom. But gradually his love for her grows, and with time she occupies more and more space in his mind. In the end, she spreads throughout his empire, and then awakens and destroys man’s ego as king Bali. The same happens in Kundalini Yoga. This means that there is no difference in essence between yoga and love. King Bali was also doing a great Yagya, which means he was doing a good deed. A man knows that he will become a crazy yogi or crazy lover by falling in the circle of meditation, yet he adopts it and moves forward. Through the awakening, kundalini captured the entire heaven with one step, that is, with Sattvagun. Heaven is dominated by goodness. Because all the three gunas become infinite at the time of Kundalini awakening, that is why it has been said that Kundalini or Vamana has completely permeated all the three worlds. The second step means that the Kundalini picture spread in the whole earth with Rajoguna, because the earth is Rajogunapradhan. With the third step in the form of Tamoguna, the ego and its associated thoughts of karma go into the dark subconscious of the Mooladhara. Since tamoguna is created by killing or destroying someone, it is created by destroying the ego and the mental creation it feeds on. The position of Lord Vishnu as the gatekeeper of Patal Lok or pit abode means that Dhyanachitra keeps on purifying those demons i.e. thoughts buried in the subconscious by letting them go up, i.e. to the brain or heaven, so that everyone becomes gods. At the same time, Vishnuswarupa Dhyanchitra is focused on the Swadhishthana and Muladhara chakras by Kundalini Yoga, so that the demonic emotions that are suppressed in them are exposed and become pure when they comes in contact with it, so that they do not bind the yogi, that is, demons are not able to trouble the deities, because all the deities reside in the body itself. Anyway, Swadhishthan Chakra is called emotional baggage.
Shukra Acharya, the rakshasguru who became Bali’s priest in the yagya, first explains a lot to Bali that he should not trust Vamana because he will snatch everything from him in three steps. But when Bali does not agree, then Shukracharya enters the hole of the conch shell being used to pour out water as a mark of strong will power to donate, but Vaman enters kusha that’s a special grass stick in it and breaks his eye? One more thing, because the conch shell is also on the back of the living being, and like the spinal cord gives it protection, it becomes even more confirmed that the sushumna nadi itself has been called the conch shell. In addition, the shape of the conch is similar to that of a hooded serpent or dragon, which is equated with the spinal cord and the Sushumna located in it. An experienced patriarch never wants to let his host get lost in the wilderness of spirituality, no matter how beneficial it for the host may be. He knows that if the host comes to know the truth, then it will not be easy to cheat him and extract money from him in the name of Yagya etc. rituals. Although rituals are right at their place and are an important ladder for awakening, but who cares about the ladder when the destination is reached. Shukracharya i.e. priest or Guru by pouring out Shukra i.e. semen to block the energy flow of Sushumna is depicted as entering the conch shell. Vaman’s opening it with the Kusha stick is the raising of the Shakti from the Muladhar with the help of the Kundalini Dhyanachitra. It is the line of sensation extending from Muladhara to Sahasrara which is in the spinal cord. It is a thin light streak felt like a broom stick or the stick of kusha grass. This is Sushumna activation or awakening. If the back, especially the spine, is massaged before sexual intercourse, then this sensation line is felt easily and with pleasure. Then the semen power easily rises up, making the sexual intercourse very blissful and spiritual. The pressure of the sexual organs also ends. Man often does this inspired by the greed for Kundalini bliss, that is why the myth says that Vamana did this. Due to this, Shukracharya’s eye bursting means due to the effect of Kundalini, the dual vision of semen power or Shukracharya is destroyed. Shukra means semen in Sanskrit. When the semen power will not flow towards the world full of duality but will flow towards the soul full of non duality, then it is natural that the duality filled vision of semen power will be destroyed. Bali or ego goes to Patala, means after Kundalini awakening man cannot express ego in the form of luminous world because he has experienced the most luminous Kundalini awakening. Therefore, being detached from the gross world, he becomes unmanifested in the form of his subtle body. Moreover, he finds himself too down in front of awakening. This down feeling is depicted as patal or submerged abode. It is like darkness. This is his hellish abode. However, due to the gradual purification of the subtle body, it continues to be purified. It is said as Lord Vishnu guards it as its gatekeeper.

Kundalini image takes over the entire creation by taking the incarnation of Lord Vamana, awakens and sends the egoistic King Bali to the underworld

Friends, in the previous post, there was a little talk about religion. Religion or Dharma in Sanskrit literally means lifestyle. Whose lifestyle is fanatic, he lags behind. Nokia didn’t keep up with the times. At the same time, it was also concluded that many people who are thought to be psychopaths and are suppressed by drugs, exploitation or social ostracism, are actually patients of awakening. I wish psychology could differentiate between the symptoms of Kundalini and the symptoms of psychiatry or foolishness. I think it is difficult for a culture like western civilization to make this difference, but people of eastern culture are comparatively habitual in it as they have experienced it since ancient times. So, You must have seen, how lion had become a Yogi in a recent previous post. By the way, there is also a Yogasan named Singhasan. Anyway, Kundalini Yogi has been given a dragon-like form, whose mouth is also open like a lion. Yoga is a game of breath, and even a lion roars with the power of breath and makes his face menacing. There is a similar mythical story in Hindu Puranas that Lord Vamana had measured the whole earth in three steps. Actually the three steps are the symbols of the three gunas, sattva, rajas and tamas. Ida Nadi is mother Aditi, and Pingala Nadi is mother Diti. Pingala increases worldly discrimination, intelligence and ego, which means it increases demonic dualist gunas, Rajoguna and Tamoguna. But Ida Nadi creates divine feelings of sattvaguna like peace, tensionlessness, non duality and other pure qualities. That is why it is said that Aditi is the mother of all the gods and Diti is the mother of all the demons. These two were the wives of Kashyap Muni. Kashyapa was the son of Brahma. Brahma is the main expressed mind. Because the mind creates the whole world. He sits on a lotus, on a lotus in the form of sahasrar chakra. As the place of the soul is described as Sahasrar, the same has happened to the mind because both are interrelated, one isn’t without the other. Sage Kashyap is the subconscious mind, because it is born from the mind. He lives in hellish Muladhara as opposed to his father brahma who lives in heavenly sahasrara. Ka means water, and Shya is derived from the word Shayan or sleep, meaning one who sleeps in water. Water is in the form of semen and the cerebrospinal fluid flowing in the spinal cord, and the subconscious mind is shown as the sleeping man, because it is in it that all emotions remain suppressed. This subconscious mind resides in deep and dark pit like places like Muladhara and Swadhishthana Chakras. When its expressing feelings get the support of Advaita Bhava i.e. Ida Nadi, then they become his sons as gods, but when they get the support of Dvaita Bhava i.e. Pingala Nadi, then they become his sons as demons. These waking thoughts are the sons of Kashyapa and Aditi or Diti. Ida and Pingala nadis are his two wives in the form of Aditi and Diti respectively, because with their help he awakens in the form of thought-form sons, which means he becomes strong. Ida and Pingala nadis are his two wives, because with their help he becomes expressed, that means he becomes strong. The mental Kundalini image itself is Lord Vamana. It is the best among all thought-form sons, hence it is called the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Very cool psychology. Brahma is the original mind. In fact, it is He who builds various worldly creations like houses, gardens, roads, bridges etc. He does not give birth straight to thought-form sons. He first creates the subconscious mind-like Kashyapa Muni. Thought-form sons are made from that. You must have also seen that if you do not do any work in the world, then no strong thoughts will be formed directly. By doing work, its memories get absorbed in the subconscious mind, which later keep on emerging in the form of powerful thoughts. The left brain under the jurisdiction of Pingala Nadi is under the authority of the demon king Bali, the Ida-ruled right brain is under the authority of the gods. Raja Bali is ego. The name Bali seems to have been given to him because he sacrifices (means giving bali in sanskrit) living beings, commits violence to maintain the power of his ego. Also, Bali name originates from Sanskrit word Balin that means powerful. Ego is too powerful in fact. Kundalini image is formed by the influence of Ida. Although both Ida and Pingala should be in a balanced form, because the existence of both is dependent on each other, but Ida should be comparatively more effective. Under the influence of Ida Nadi, a person becomes calm, stress-free, with good appetite and good digestion. In this state of peace, the picture of Kundalini resides in the mind, which means Lord Vamana is born from Mother Goddess Aditi. To see, he is a small lonely mental picture, that is why he is called a dwarf or vamana. He asks King Bali for only three steps of land in the universe. How much space will a mental image take up? Like every mental object, that meditation picture is also made of three gunas, sattva, rajas and tamas. These are the three steps. Man as ego promises to give him even that much space, and thinks what harm it will do to him. Ego is very powerful. He does the biggest things in the world. He takes the small Kundalini picture as a joke. The backbone is secretly depicted as the conch shell. It has the same shape as a conch shell, wide at the head and thin at the tail or bottom. The spinal cord or Sushumna Nadi located in it is the drain inside the conch. The word nadi is derived from the word river (Nadi in Hindi). The water flowing in that drain is the sensation of Kundalini Shakti. Energy also flows like water flow. Because Kundalini-meditation or kundalini-thought as Sankalpa that’s sharp thought or resolution is mixed in it, hence it is called Sankalpa-Jal. Meditation itself is called resolution or sankalpa in Sanskrit. During every religious ritual in Hinduism, while pouring water from a conch or argha (a special vessel for worship), a sankalpa is made for a few moments about the reason for the ritual, the process of the ritual, the priest, and its resulting fruit. Deep meditation itself occurs with it for a moment. Due to this, the karma becomes fruitful quickly and more. While sitting in the Yagya, Bali had pledged to give three steps of land to Lord Vaman while pouring water from the conch. It is possible that by pouring water, the Kundalini energy starts flowing, because there is a similarity between the two, which strengthens the meditation. Along with the falling stream of water from the Arghe or conch, the Kundalini Shakti also starts flowing down the front channel, due to which it passes through the back channel and climbs up the back, taking with it the additional and special orgasmic Kundalini Shakti of Muladhara. It also carries along Vamana in the form of the meditation image because vamana is the main purpose, in the Sushumna-conch channel in the form of a thin spinal cord, with the push of the flowing water or Shakti in the form of meditation or Sankalp, and this way vamana keeps on growing through Yogasadhana, and finally awakens and pervades the entire creation. This is to measure the three worlds with three steps. Due to this the ego itself gets buried in the underworld in the form of subconscious. It has been said this way that Vamana placed the third step on the head of Bali. This story continues in the next post as well.
