Direct vs. Refined Energy Ascent: The Science of Tantra-Kriya Transformation

Perhaps what I had been thinking of as my Kundalini awakening experience till today was actually the experience of enlightenment or Savikalpa Samadhi, because in it there was a complete experience of the soul along with complete Advaita bliss. Meaning, it felt like I have attained perfection, that is, I have attained the ultimate achievement, that is, I have united with the Supreme Being. Kundalini awakening is perhaps that state when the raw or formless energy of the Muladhara transforms into a meditative picture. Of course, this state is similar to enlightenment and reaches there after developing. Therefore, it can also be called immature or light level enlightenment. The formless Kundalini Shakti can also be called dormant power. When it gets refined and takes the form of a stable meditative picture, then it can also be called the awakening of the Shakti. By the way, the difference in all these spiritual states is only of intensity, basically the nature of all is the same. Therefore, there is not much difference in changing their names among themselves.

One of the most fascinating aspects of energy awakening is the transformation of raw sexual energy into higher spiritual awareness. But how does this process actually happen? And is it necessary to refine the energy before lifting it, or can raw energy be pulled directly into Sahasrara for transformation?

In my experience, both approaches work, but they have different effects. Let’s explore both paths in depth.

1. Directly Lifting Raw Energy to Sahasrara

Some traditions emphasize pulling energy straight from the base (Muladhara) up the Sushumna to Sahasrara without any pre-conditioning. This method can lead to instant awakening experiences, but it also has potential risks.

What Happens When Raw Energy is Pulled Up?

✔ If the person is already spiritually mature, the energy self-organizes in Sahasrara, automatically transforming into a meditation image, bliss, or pure formless awareness. But the person doesn’t believe fully that meditation image played an important role in ascent of energy and resulting awakening. It’s so because during his glimpse awakening moments, that image didn’t enter his awareness because initially it was not superimposed on energy in lower chakras. This may produce his hesitation to fully surrender to it and take its help in further spiritual progress. Just opposite happens if one transforms raw energy of muladhar and swadhishthan region into meditation image before its upward ascent. It’s better and economic to process food in the beginning before its transport.✔ If the ascent is not controlled, the energy may manifest as:

Intense head pressure or discomfort.

Chaotic visions or light phenomena.

Temporary disorientation or imbalance.

Energy draining back down quickly without full absorption. But if meditation image is already live at muladhar then awakening will most probably accompany it. Then the meditation image always appear in mind as indicator of any lurking energy phenomenon. Means, one can recognise energy play with this tag easily.

Formless or empty energy can make a person fall into bad habits, but the energy that is fixed or stabilized in the form of a meditation image will remain stuck in it, how will it be able to go out. Understand it like this that when a sadhak is engrossed in meditation of Guru or God, then he will not have any attention left to spend on bad things. On the contrary, if the energy is not fixed in any uplifting meditation, then it will definitely get stuck in the meditation of bad or dualistic or worldly things because the nature of mental energy is to create meditation or contemplation, meaning it gets spent by contemplation only.

✔ In some cases, instead of stabilizing as a meditation image, the energy might dissolve into a formless ecstatic state—powerful, but harder to sustain. Because there is no meditation picture to remember it or to maintain its awareness through Vipassana. Understand it like this, Awakening is suddenly attained but what will happen next. The seeker can suddenly fall into the world full of unconscious tendencies. This can give him a tremendous shock of consciousness change, which can be frightening. It can cause many types of mental disorders or diseases. That is why it is said that there is no knowledge without a Guru. Perhaps the Guru himself makes the meditation picture or gets it made by someone else like a lover or a deity. If even then the disciple is unable to make a meditation picture, then he protects him from the mental fluctuations that occur during and after awakening.

2. Refining Energy Before Lifting: A More Controlled Process

In contrast, refining the energy before lifting it ensures that the ascent is smooth, stable, and directed. Stable or sthir means that this meditation keeps on being remembered again and again along with the meditation of the meditation picture. Smooth means that the meditation should be continuous with the meditation of the picture. It should not happen that by chance the energy starts flowing on its own and then we sit idle. Because we will not know how to make it rise again. Even if we try with bandh etc., it will be a mechanical pull. There will be less consciousness in it. There will also be less joy. Because we will experience only sensations, not any meditation picture. Due to this, it will also get less loving social recognition. Due to this, we will not be able to do sadhana with much enthusiasm. Due to the absence of love force with mechanical force, that force will also be very less. Guided means that by meditating on the meditation image on the Ajna Chakra, we can automatically draw the energy there, we do not need to concentrate on the energy. Similarly, by meditating on any chakra with a meditation picture, we can collect energy there. Refinement of energy is often done by superimposing a meditation image onto the energy while it is still in the lower chakras.

How Does Refinement Work?

✔ Step 1: Generating Raw Energy at the Base

This is traditionally done through Tantric Maithuna, controlled arousal, or internal energy cultivation.

Raw energy is powerful, but in its unrefined state, it is downward-flowing (Apana). Because only raw or unrefined sensations are felt in the sexual organs located below. Opposite to it, meditation image has natural instinct to rise up always because the brain is the main organ for image making. With itself image also lifts energy up. Means, the image becomes an efficient energy carrier.

✔ Step 2: Stabilizing with a Meditation Image

Instead of allowing the energy to remain chaotic, a deity, Guru, Self-image, or void is superimposed onto it.

This anchors the energy and prevents loss through dissipation.

✔ Step 3: Lifting the Energy through Kriya Breath

Once the raw energy is colored by a spiritual focus, it is guided upward using Kriya breathing (spinal breathing, Ujjayi, or inner suction).

Now, the energy doesn’t just rise—it carries the meditation image with it.

✔ Step 4: Transformation in Sahasrara

When this refined energy reaches Sahasrara, the meditation image fully blossoms into a living, conscious experience.

The energy doesn’t scatter chaotically but stabilizes as pure bliss, awareness, and spiritual realization. The meditation picture serves to keep it tied.

Which Approach is Better?

Both direct lifting and refined lifting can lead to awakening, but their effects differ:

✔ For advanced practitioners, raw energy may self-organize in Sahasrara, making direct lifting possible. ✔ For most people, refining first ensures a structured and predictable transformation.

My own energy ascent experience around my awakening glimpses 

My first awakening glimpse was there by lifting up of raw energy because I had not refined it to meditation image on lower chakras through structured meditation. That’s why no image came as a central anchor for my awareness during that glimpse. Instead all objects felt during awakening were equal to each other. As I can remember, no human face came to awareness. Afterwards images of guru and virtual consort used to appear in awareness during ordinary living giving me nonduality, bliss and peace but I couldn’t accept any of them as my meditation image. I used to see them as some errors in my brain chemistry. So occassionally trying to getting rid of them instead of incorporating them with my life for spiritual progress. That’s why I have gone littlebit unsocial type mainly in the eyesight of some over extrovert people. However, later I got and started accepting them that fuelled my skyrocket progress. Upto the time of structured meditation for my second awakening I had become enough mature and I refined the energy on the base itself since the beginning. That resulted in my awakening initiated by my guru as my meditation image. This altogether destroyed all the above drawbacks of my previous awakening.

Beyond the Ascent: Sustaining the Awakened State

One major challenge in both approaches is keeping the awakened state stable in daily life.

✔ If refinement was done early, the meditation image remains accessible even after practice. ✔ If raw energy was lifted chaotically, it may fade quickly, requiring constant practice to regain. ✔ A mix of both methods may be the most practical—generating energy through Tantra, refining it, and then lifting it through Kriya.

Final Thoughts: The Most Practical Path

From my experience, the most realistic and sustainable approach is:

✔ Use Tantra to generate energy at the base. ✔ Superimpose a meditation image for refinement. ✔ Lift it gradually through Kriya breathwork. ✔ Anchor it in Sahasrara as a living awareness. ✔ Let it circulate in daily life through subtle breath awareness.

This method avoids the dangers of uncontrolled raw energy ascent while still allowing the full power of awakening to unfold.

Ultimately, the goal is not just to awaken energy but to integrate it permanently into consciousness.

Prana: The Hidden Connection Between Body, Mind, and Experience

Millions of salutations to Adi Tantra Yogi Shiva on the occasion of his sacred Shivratri festival, may he continue to bless us all.

One simple yet profound realization changed how I see prana. When we feel pain in the foot, why do we experience it in the foot itself and not in the brain, where it is actually processed?

Nerves only send signals to the brain. If the brain were the sole center of experience, pain should be felt in the brain, not at the point of injury. Yet, it doesn’t work that way. This means something beyond just nerve signals is connecting consciousness to the body—something that allows experience to be localized at the exact place of sensation. This invisible connection is prana.

Prana: More Than Just Energy—It Localizes Consciousness

If prana were just physical energy, it wouldn’t explain why different parts of the body hold different experiences. Love is felt in the chest, fear in the stomach, sexual pleasure in the lower body. Prana acts like a network flowing through non physical experiential channels or nadis that binds consciousness to different locations in the body, making sensations real and localized.

This made me rethink prana—not just as life force but as the very mechanism that determines where we experience life. Prana is not just movement of energy; it is the movement of experience itself.

Tantra Yoga: Shifting Experience from Body to Mind

This understanding connects directly to my Tantra Yoga practice. In Tantra, sexual energy is not suppressed—it is shifted. Normally, pleasure is felt in the lower body because prana is concentrated there. But through specific techniques, this energy can be moved upwards to the brain.

When prana moves, the location of conscious experience moves with it.

  • The same energy that once felt like raw pleasure transforms into mental clarity, bliss, and stability.
  • Instead of being outwardly stimulating, it becomes inwardly illuminating.

I’ve experienced this shift, but not yet to a state where it remains stable. The connection is clear, but true mastery—where prana stays effortlessly in higher awareness—is something I still seek.

Health Aspects: Can This Practice Cause Issues?

While moving energy upward can bring profound mental clarity and deep meditation, forcing the process unnaturally can create imbalances. Some possible issues include:

  • Head Pressure or Mental Fatigue: If too much prana is held in the brain without grounding, it can create discomfort or detachment from daily life.
  • Lack of Interest in Worldly Activities: A rapid shift of prana to the higher centers can reduce attachment to physical experiences, making normal activities feel empty.
  • Physical Imbalance: Moving prana upward without proper grounding can sometimes lead to nervous system issues, digestive problems, or sexual dysfunction.

Balancing Energy for a Healthy Experience

I’ve realized that prana must be guided, not forced. When the shift happens naturally, it leads to clarity without imbalance. I consciously use grounding techniques when needed, ensuring that I stay connected to both higher awareness and practical life.

What This Means for Spiritual Growth

This insight opened a new perspective for me:

  • Prana is not just sustaining the body—it is directing consciousness itself.
  • Where prana flows, experience follows.
  • If we can control prana, we can control not just energy, but where and how we experience reality.

I’ve seen glimpses of this transformation, but I am still refining the practice. My goal is to make this shift natural and effortless—not just something I touch occasionally, but a state I can rest in permanently. At the same time, I’m careful to balance this journey with health and well-being, so the experience remains both profound and sustainable.

Kundalini Yoga keeps a person swinging between wakefulness and dreams

Friends, an idle mind is really the devil’s workshop. That is why I keep doing something or the other all the time. If I don’t see anything to do, I start writing. My son works awake so that he can have good dreams. Wow, he considers the world of wakefulness to be fake and the world of dreams to be real. I was shocked to hear this. A new thought arose. All the sages and Vedas and Puranas also say the same thing. They say that a life full of detachment and non-duality is the real one. Such is the life in dreams as well. In that, happiness and sorrow, all feel almost the same. Everything is in the form of experience. Pure experience. All experiences are in the form of happiness. If a lion runs from behind, even though you are afraid, you don’t feel afraid. If someone starts fighting, even though you are angry, you don’t get angry. If you fall from a mountain, even though you are in pain, you don’t feel sad. Even if you get a kingdom, even though you are happy, you don’t feel happy. Meaning, uniform happiness is everywhere, but not the polluted happiness of materialism. It is a happiness in the form of a subtle experience. The physical gross world pollutes the subtle experience of happiness and sorrow. Happiness increases due to the gross world, but it also increases sorrow. The higher the ball goes, the lower it falls. Happiness is the soul’s own form. But the world subjugates it and creates waves in that uniform spiritual happiness. Then, with time, in the absence of the gross world, that wave is destroyed. Due to this, of course, a person reaches the uniform or waveless spiritual happiness again, but in that state, darkness in the form of sorrow is felt. This appears to be due to illusion. Actually, it is not so. It is like after moving around in a circular motion around your body, everything around you feels as if it is rotating for a while. This is also called dizziness. This is why the word illusion has been used for ignorance.

While living in the world, no one can escape from illusion. Yes, it can definitely be reduced. Perhaps that is why people leave the world and become sadhus and sanyasis, so that the world cannot create illusion. But the disadvantage of this is that it does not lead to self-development. Because the world is necessary for this. The world can also be called a necessary evil in this case. That is why it is considered appropriate for those who have attained self-awakening to take sanyaas. It means that they have reached the peak of self-development, and there is no need for them to get entangled in the world. Actually, there is a need. But only to keep the body alive, because until the age determined by the previous deeds is not completed, the sanskars related to the prarabdha karma will keep troubling. Yes, this will not create sanskars for the next birth.

Dreams also produce a wave in self-happiness, but not as much as the awakened state. That is why when that wave disappears in the dream, the illusion is also not as much as in the awakened state. Some illusion is there. That is why it is said in the scriptures that the world is like a dream, and it should be considered as a dream only. In reality, it is so because the physical world does not enter the mind. We are only feeling its subtle picture, as we do in dreams. But considering it gross and physical creates all the mess. Man considers it gross and physical only in the greed of a wave of happiness, so that he can get more pleasure from the wave. At that time he does not realize the sorrow that comes with it in the long run. Actually, the big wave is called the gross world and the small wave is called the subtle world. While watching a movie, nothing gross happens but many people become too attached to it. Meaning, they get too immersed in it. And create a wave of happiness to the fullest from it. Due to this, the scenes shown on the screen, despite being subtle, become gross for them. That is why, many times, when such and such scenes come, they create a ruckus and vandalism in the theater. Many people, despite being in the gross world, do not get attached to it. They remain absolutely calm no matter what happens. Meaning, it does not create huge or rapid waves in their mind. For them, even the gross world is as subtle as a dream. Due to this they remain the same in happiness and sorrow. But the same thing is that for self awakening, strong mental waves like that of physically awakened state are also necessary.

This world is like a river flowing in both directions. That is why it is not understood properly. It lifts some people up and takes some people down. It can be said that the worldliness full of attachment should be pacified with non-dualistic philosophies like Sharirvigyan Darshan. This will give self awakening and also will not create illusion. Kundalini Yoga can give this benefit that the power to hold the picture of Samadhi felt during the non-dualistic feeling will increase and along with this, due to the energy in the brain, one will be able to do the feeling of Sharirvigyan Darshan well along with worldliness. Because every chakra is connected to some kind of worldliness, so at the time of every kind of work, some chakra or the other will become active. Meaning, the effect of power will increase to that chakra. Due to this, the feeling of Sharirvigyan Darshan along with that work will become easy, because all work is done with power. That extra power may seem trivial to us, but it is very useful. With the daily practice of Kundalini Yoga, the channels to all the chakras will remain open. When energy reaches the chakras, some energy will also reach the chakras of the brain, because all the chakras are interconnected. And it is from the brain that feelings arise, whether dualistic or non-dual.

In between, with the feeling of physiology, a person should continuously oscillate between the waking state and the dream state.
This will give you the benefits of both. Both the awakened and the dream state. The benefits of the awakened state include the benefits of material worldliness along with Kundalini awakening and the benefits of the dream state include the benefits of sannyasa. Meaning that the awakened state changes into the dream state with Kundalini yoga. However, the dream state also changes into the awakened state because of it. When there is fatigue in the body, that is, incapacity, that is, lack of strength, then the person is in a state similar to that of intoxication or dream. When he gets strength from Kundalini yoga, he again becomes like an awakened person in the worldly life. Of course, later, being troubled by it, he again changes his physically awakened state into a dream state with the feeling of physiology philosophy, and minimizes his illusion. At that time, he has the power. That state is not like that of intoxication or sleep, in which there is no strength. Therefore, his extra power is transformed into a mental picture of samadhi. Meaning that he enters samadhi with that extra power.

When one feels his present state in the body, the breath comes out of the stomach rapidly, especially if there is a lot of pressure in the brain. Due to this, the energy descending from the front channel makes the brain feel lighter. I feel that this energy going down turns back from the Muladhara and ascends to the brain again through the spinal cord. This means that a closed circuit loop of energy is formed. Surprisingly, this energy going up does not increase the pressure in the brain but makes it lighter. Anyway, the pressure should increase due to lack of energy. Perhaps the back part of the brain helps more in creating emotions, or it is the main controller of the entire brain. That is why the energy received by its back part from the spinal cord is more effective. It may also be that the energy pushed down is not full of oxygen. While passing down through the heart chakra, it becomes full of oxygen, gets purified and ascends up from the back. Perhaps that is why it is said that the energy should keep moving in the microcosmic orbit loop. If there is lethargy or low pressure in the brain, then deep breath is taken in. Due to this, the energy ascends up and makes the brain powerful. This means that if there is no energy in the brain, then how will it descend down. That is why at that time the emphasis is on lifting it from the bottom to the top. It happens on its own. Meaning, just as the gross physical body remains in balance, similarly it also makes the mind in the same way, if it is meditated upon properly.

Kundalini awakening is also like physical awakening. It can also be called the peak point of the physical awakened state. Because in this, the subconscious mind also awakens along with the conscious mind. Meaning that for Kundalini awakening, one has to be more awakened than the awakened state. This can happen only from the awakened state, not from the dream state. However, it can be achieved by saving the energy by converting the awakened state into a dream state. Meaning that dream state also have a contribution in this. But that dream state is not a dream state of powerlessness or laziness or compulsion, but a dream state that has been achieved deliberately. With that extra energy, the mental picture of the form of a Guru, God etc. is meditated upon. With practice, that meditation increases so much that that mental picture awakens. Although usually the mental picture is in the dream state, but at the time of Kundalini awakening it comes into the awakened state. It means that the mental wave that creates that picture becomes so strong that it crosses the limits of the dream state and enters the realm of the awakened state. The power that awakens it is so great that it also awakens the subconscious mind i.e. the soul with it. That is why everything seems non-dual i.e. one i.e. one’s own form because then the earlier sleeping dark soul becomes as bright as the awakened Kundalini picture by waking it up.

Actually, it is the soul that is awakened. The mental meditation picture is only a medium to awaken it. Because the Kundalini picture is a mental wave, which is already a form of an awakened state. Of course that wave is so light that it comes in the realm of the dream state. Still a wave is a wave. The mental waves of the dream state and the awakened state are the same thing, there is only a difference of intensity in them, nothing else. The light is the same, it does not change if it is reduced. What I mean to say is that the meditation picture was not asleep that it would wake up. The sleeping soul is connected to the subconscious mind which wakes up with the help of meditation picture. The meditation picture works to send power to the brain. When that power reaches above a certain limit, it wakes up the subconscious mind. We call this Kundalini awakening.

It is the soul that is asleep, and which wakes up at the time of Kundalini awakening. In reality, his illusion of being in deep sleep is dispelled, because it is only due to the illusion that he appears to be asleep. Of course, after experiencing a few moments of Kundalini awakening, the person goes back to sleep, but that deep sleep is not as effective as it was before because now he has known the truth. The subconscious mind of a man becomes like a burnt seed which does not have the power to give birth to a new life or birth. It is burnt by the light of the soul. Like a burnt seed, it exists but cannot give a new birth. Then it is said that the deeds that will be done after Kundalini awakening will create the subconscious mind to give results. But when the subconscious mind itself is burnt, then how can new deeds be added to it. When the basis of the existence of the subconscious mind is destroyed, then how will a new one be created. But then how will the fruits of the new deeds be obtained. Then a self-awakened man can do any sinful act without any fear. So in answer to this it is said that due to the absence of the subconscious mind, there is no attachment towards the deeds and their results. What attachment can light have towards light? Darkness has attachment towards light only. He keeps flowing with time. If he commits sinful deeds due to ignorance or compulsion, he gets its fruits quickly and in a mild form because his attachment was also mild. Even if he does not get the fruits in that life, he gets free by handing them over to nature. Now it is nature’s will to decide to whom it gives its fruits. Perhaps that is why it is said that the whole universe or the whole society has to suffer the consequences of the deeds done by great men. There are many such examples of the founders and preachers of religions, and great or world leaders. Why many religions are thirsty for each other’s blood till date, this can also be linked to this. All these experiences and thoughts are from the scriptures, which we are analyzing here as scientifically as possible. When the soul becomes illuminated or luminous, then every object or thought wave or the whole world will look like oneself because all things are luminous. What is the difference between light and light? This light is much above ordinary light, meaning it is the light of consciousness.

Kundalini Shakti is pulled up by breathing and gazing at Agya Chakra

I was reading the original sentences of some great Yogis filled with their experiences. Actually they used to keep them secret in diaries. These diaries used to reach their relatives only after their death. It is better not to reveal the names of great Yogis. Because otherwise, one can be accused of disrespect. They are revered by countless people. The feelings of those people can also be hurt. The staunch supporters of great people can get angry with the review of their statements etc. Similarly, no one wants to hear anything bitter about his culture, religion, nature etc., even if it is the truth. The writer needs to be very careful. Controversial issues should be said in gestures only. This kills the snake and the stick also does not break.

The main points that I came to know were the following. The breath stopped, the breath went inside, the breath started going in reverse direction, and there was a heaviness in the brain, the breath went inside the Sushumna. These can also be called the keywords of yoga. You can make as many Kriya yoga exercises from this as you want. But they are of little use. Because Pranayama is basically the same, which works. This is the reverse breathing or the breathing inside. In my opinion, this is what is called the breathing inside or the stopping of the breath. Actually, the breath of a living being cannot stop. It is possible that by practising reverse breathing, such a situation comes that the breath becomes so slow and light that it cannot be felt. But this can happen only with reverse breathing, not with straight breathing. It is with reverse breathing that the mind stops. Because the mind considers straight breathing as breath. Reverse breathing is not breath at all for it. This goes on like a chain reaction. When the mind stops, the breath will become even slower. Of course, the reverse will continue. With the mind stopping, a stage will come when the breath will become almost unnoticed. It will not be an exaggeration to call such a state the realization of the soul or the Brahma or very near to it. Pranayam is not just breathing, but breathing in the right manner is Pranayam. While inhaling, the energy should be felt rising through the back, and while exhaling, it should be felt going down. This happens on its own, because while inhaling from the stomach, the energy rises from the Mooladhar and reaches the pit of the Manipur Chakra. Then from there it rises upwards with pulling the chest and back upwards. As soon as the back and chest are pulled upwards, the energy of the spine is also pulled upwards by itself. By casting a little glance upwards between the eyebrows, it gets pushed even more upwards. And the energy gets aligned straight in the Sushumna line, from the muladhar Chakra to the agya Chakra. Sometimes it comes to the Agya Chakra through the Sahasrar, and sometimes it bypasses the Sahasrar and goes straight to the Agya Chakra.

The words of old Yogis like “pulling the breath, the breath went up to the head”, eye went up (means upward gazing of agya chakra), tongue went up (means tongue’s back touched back palate) etc. show that Pranayam is a science of pulling, not of relaxation. Of course, when the head becomes very heavy or the head starts aching, then do not pull like this. When the head becomes light, then start pulling again. I myself have felt that after this heaviness of the mind, a very creative, emotional, practical and divine power comes. All human and divine qualities come automatically. The feeling of detachment and non-duality arises automatically. It seems that nature is helping everywhere like a servant. Yogis also say the same. But what I say clearly, and what Yogis have been shying away from saying, is that this is only the sexual power, nothing else. This sexual power rises only with the Pranayam done correctly. If sexual intercourse is done correctly, then artificial Pranayam is dwarfed in front of it. Of course, only the combination of both can provide complete and permanent benefits. Although complete benefits can be obtained even by just Pranayama. But it may take more time for the practice to mature. We have been habituated to straight breathing since many births. That is why it is not so easy to form the habit of reverse breathing. Reverse breathing means that the focus is not on the inflow of air, but on the rise and fall of energy in the back. The descent of energy will be considered automatically, when the back will descend on its own while exhaling and will become relaxed. It is called reverse breathing because in this, when the energy is rising up in the body, at that time the breath or air is going down in the body. And when the energy is descending in the body, at that time the air in the body is rising up to come out.

The energy is pulled more only when you breathe from both the stomach and the chest. Of course, it should be done very slowly. A good Pranayama may take up to 1 minute. For example, first stop for a while when the belly area becomes full of air. Then apply the second level of pull by raising the chest. Then pause for a while and the pull of the third level is felt by looking upwards at the Agya Chakra. There is a feeling of touch an upward gushing like gharrrrr and the heaviness of the brain increasing with it. After this heaviness, new and old thoughts surge in the soul like air bubbles in the air. There is a great pleasure. Yogis have written it like this, bada maza aaya, maza bhayo etc.

There is a water wheel to draw water from the well. A bucket is tied to a rope. That rope rests on a pulley. The other end of the rope is in the hands of a man. When the man pulls the rope, the bucket end of the rope goes up and also lifts the bucket filled with water from the well up. When the man loosens the rope, the bucket end of the rope goes down into the well and takes the empty bucket inside the well. Breath also works like this rope and Kundalini Shakti works like a bucket. When breath is inhaled, meaning the breath string is pulled long, then with its force the Kundalini Shakti rises up in the well of the back and pours the water in the form of shakti into the brain. When breath is exhaled, meaning the breath string is loosened and made short, then the empty Kundalini Shakti descends down the back. It then fills itself with water in the form of power in the Muladhara Chakra, and again rises up in the next breath. In this way, this manual pump of breath keeps working for the entire life. That is why breath is often compared to a string, Mooladhar to a well or a pit and Shakti to water.

This sexual power remains confined to the lower parts of the body for reproduction and remains constricted. It is said that the Kundalini Shakti is wrapped in three coils around the Shivling. That is why a snake is shown wrapped around the Shivling. All these things are interconnected. But in the real Shivling, when this Shakti-form serpent rises up to form a hood over the Shivling, then only one coil remains below. Meaning, there is so much of it in the Mooladhar. Kundalini is such a power that it cannot be destroyed in a living being. If it’s finished then creation will also be threatened to be finished as there will be no sexual desire. If all the coils open, it means that the power is about to end. But the presence of one coil always shows that the Kundalini power of Muladhara is unlimited. It means that it can continuously straighten up and keep climbing upwards. But even then a large part of it will remain contracted in Muladhara. All this cannot be merely symbolic. If it were so, then the Vam Marg tantra would not have existed. But the basic tantra is this same. All the other tantras are based on it. But it seems that all of them are engaged in rejecting their own origin.

Kundalini yoga teaches the art of dying

Friends, there is a famous saying that by practicing continuously, even a fool becomes wise and skilled. All people are fools when it comes to attaining salvation. So, can salvation be attained effortlessly by practicing Kundalini yoga continuously? Let us analyze it in this post.

I was reading the introduction to Purana Purush. It was written in it that how did a householder yogi, known to the author, die? At the last moment, he had focused his life exactly in the middle of the eyebrows. Due to this, there was a strong vibration there. Then he breathed his last there. It was believed that he was liberated. That same Agya Chakra has been called Ram Dwara. In common parlance, the death that people used to mention at Ramdwara was the Agya Chakra itself.

Now the question is that at the last moment, when all the senses become devoid of knowledge, how can one focus the life of the body on the Agya Chakra? I think this happened on its own, through lifelong practice. Science also shows that the blood circulation of the body keeps on shifting from non-essential organs to essential organs. Then this should happen even without yoga. It does happen. Whether one does yoga or not, blood circulation gives importance to the brain. Agya Chakra is one of the main parts of the brain, and is the most effective point in the path of the main nerve of the body. But such vibration is not seen in everyone. It is seen only in Yogis. It seems that blood circulation is automatically controlled by itself. There is no need to be aware or experienced about it. But to make Nadi Sanchar more effective, one has to be aware of it. Meaning, one has to experience it. Although Nadi Sanchar keeps happening at the basic level even without experience. It is due to it that the body remains active. But to raise it to the level of providing liberation, its experience has to be increased. Blood circulation cannot do all the work. It certainly supplies all the necessary substances to the cells for their work, but it is the nerve circulation that motivates the cells to work by using them. Perhaps this nadi circulation is called Prana. If we place material for building a house in front of a person, he will not immediately start building the house. He will have to be motivated to work using that material. This motivating work is done through nadi circulation. You all know that for liberation, it is necessary for all the thoughts suppressed in the mind to manifest in the soul. This is what happens in the witness state. That is why there is a feeling of liberation from it. We certainly experience all the previous suppressed thoughts in the soul in the witness state, but the new thoughts that are suppressed after that are enough to put us in bondage. At the time of death, because all the senses become inactive, the new world cannot be experienced, meaning new thoughts cannot be formed and suppressed in the mind. In such a situation, if all the old suppressed thoughts are experienced in the soul even once due to the great circulation of Prana in the brain, then there should be no doubt about liberation. It is written in the scriptures that if the name of God is taken or he is remembered at the time of death, then one attains salvation. It is also written in many places that this can be done only if there is a lifelong practice. This practice points towards Kundalini Yoga practice. Because the common practice will not be useful at that time. That is because all the senses will be almost dead. How can anything be thought through them. Those almost dead inner senses can come to life only if a strong wave of life force shakes them. Right now because the blood circulation would have shifted from the external senses like eyes, ears etc. to the internal senses like mind and intellect. That blood circulation will also not be so much that it can provide sufficient nutrition to the nervous system there. In such a situation, only the strong wave of life force rising from the Mooladhara can make it active.

Then it is said that whatever a man thinks about in his last moments, he becomes that in his next life. Jad Bharat thought about a deer, so he became a deer. Perhaps this thinking is solitary thinking which happens due to lack of prana. Attachment or credit intelligence remains towards only one mental picture. That is why one gets the same kind of birth. But due to the powerful vibration of prana coming from the Mooladhar, all the mental pictures are felt together and become calm in the soul. Then there is no attachment to any particular picture. This gives liberation. Either do not get attached to anyone or do it with everyone. The result of both is the same, detachment. Either do not remember anyone at the time of death, or remember everyone. The thing is the same. But this does not happen because the ordinary prana will make you remember someone or the other. The kundalini power flowing in the Sushumna is so powerful that it makes you experience everything together. Perhaps this is its basic principle.

But death does not always come so comfortably that it gives the thoughts a chance to merge with the soul. Premature death occurs suddenly. In today’s modern, mechanical, polluted, war-ridden and disease-ridden era, it occurs more often. Earlier it was considered very inauspicious and an obstacle to salvation. It was even believed that the soul would wander without a body for a long time. That is why it was said that one should always be spiritually prepared for death so that even if untimely death comes, one can still get salvation. Such preparation can be done only by daily Kundalini Yoga practice.

When I had corona, I used to feel the transmission of prana through my back, which was probably to fight the disease. In those days I was not even able to do Kundali Yoga. Thoughts were emerging very peacefully and merging into the soul. Perhaps it happens that when the practice of yoga is missed, the accustomed body tries to do that yoga on its own. Perhaps this is why pranayama and yoga are considered liberating. Countless yogis have tested it for centuries.

Kundalini Shakti never sleeps

The Shakti in the body does all the work while remaining hidden. It digests food, makes the heart beat, and does countless other small and big functions of the body. She can’t be sleeping. If she had slept, how could she have done so much work? Perhaps we call it sleeping because even when a man’s body is in deep sleep, it continues to do innumerable tasks of life, otherwise would he not have died? It doesn’t do just one thing, just generate conscious thoughts. Similarly, sleeping Shakti means that all the functions of the body are being carried out by it, but awakened thoughts are not being generated. This can be called a semi-dormant state because ordinary or vague thoughts are still arising. Light thoughts come to a person even during sleep in the form of dreams. To awaken Shakti means to bring it into its most expressed form and that is Kundalini awakening. Just as there can be countless levels of awakening of a man, but the real awakening is the one in which he is most expressed, which is Kundalini awakening. Other states can also be called sleep. It is mentioned many times in the scriptures that this world is like a dream. The ordinary life we are living is just a dream, meaning we are asleep. Real awakening is the state of Kundalini awakening. Below Sahasrara, there are all the pits, Mooladhar is the biggest pit. Because a little amount of energy leaks from other pits to Sahasrara, there is no complete darkness there. But when Kundalini is present in Mooladhara, it is most dark, because it is the farthest from Sahasrara. This movement of energy is of special importance in human being, because he walks while standing, and special strength is required to deliver blood high up to the brain. When there is a contraction of the muscles due to Shakti reaching the chakra through yoga or physical activity, then the consumption of nutrients increases there, which automatically increases the blood circulation there. That is why it is said that Shakti controls blood circulation. However, it appears directly controlling the speed of contraction and relaxation of muscles, thereby controlling blood circulation indirectly. This does not often appears happening in animals because their backs are straight. Because monkeys, langurs, chimpanzees etc. also become quite upright, that is why they are also playful so that the Shakti keeps flowing and the blood circulation continues smoothly in the whole body.

According to physiology, not only nerve fibers control the body, but biochemicals called hormones also control them and the organs also have their own local control. But the nerves keep the entire body functioning smoothly. It has never been heard that in such and such a yogi, some organs were cured by Nadi Chalana, but there was no effect on other organs, especially the organs controlled by hormones. From this it also seems that nerve fibers are not called nadis. It is said that electrical energy flows in the nerve fibers and life energy or Shakti flows in the nadis. However, when there is movement in the chakras, the hormone producing cells will also become active and the local systems will also become active.

There are many similarities between Shakti and energy, but both are different. Energy is inanimate, whereas Shakti is conscious due to the presence of Shiva with it. Energy can be present in any inanimate thing or machine etc., but Shakti can be present only in a conscious being. The sex-based energy rising from the perineum through Kundalini Yoga is called Shakti because it feels like bliss of samadhi. In simple words, this strengthens the Samadhi picture or Kundalini picture. And in simple words it leads towards God. Because it provides energy to the brain, the energy suppressed in the subconscious mind gets destroyed by coming out or getting expressed. Although this also happens through physical activity, Shakti there also travels through the same path. Meaning that due to physical movement, Shakti keeps gathering on the perineum and keeps rising up through the back. That is why Kundalini Yoga is very beneficial for physically hard working people also.

Kundalini Yoga powered Ganges flow irrigates the chakras in the form of Shivlinga

Famous legend of Atri-Anasuya

The story of Anasuya comes in Shivpuran. Anasuya means one who does not criticize or condemn anyone. Once there was a great famine. There was shortage of water everywhere. People and animals started dying due to thirst. Saints cannot see the sufferings of the world. Therefore, Sage Atri started doing penance for water. His disciples also left him. Only Anasuya continued to serve her husband and worshiped the Shivling everyday. One day Atri asked for water. Anasuya took the kamandal that’s sacred handheld pitcher and started searching for water. On the way she met Ganga. Ganga was pleased with Anasuya’s devotion to her husband. Anasuya asked for water from Ganga. Ganga asked her to dig a pit. That pit became filled with water. Anasuya went away with water. He gave water to Atri. Atri said that it was not like everyday drinking water. Anasuya told the whole story. She took Atri to that pit. Both of them took bath in it and drank it. All the people were satisfied with that. When Ganga started leaving, Anasuya prayed to her to stay there forever. Ganga in return demanded from her the fruit of her one year’s husband’s service and worship of Shiva. Ganga said that she likes husband service the most. When Anasuya gave it, Ganga settled there. Along with this, Shiva also sat there forever in the form of Atrishwar Linga.

the explanation for mythological story

Atri is a living soul. Atri literally means devoid of all three qualities or gunas. Only the soul is like this. Anasuya is intelligence or intellect. Intelligence does not condemn anyone, because it wants everyone to get its work done. Only a useless mind condemns. Intelligence is like a devoted wife to her husband as soul. She serves the living being soul in every way, along with worshiping Lord Shiva. An idle mind does nothing. Actually work is done by intellect, and work itself has been called worship. Work is the worship of Shivling because the world is made up of a combination of Purush meaning Shiva and Prakriti meaning Shakti. The body itself is that drought-stricken country. All the cells of the body are its people and creatures. They were thirsty means deprived of water in the form of energy. Energy flows like water. Intellect used to provide the soul in the form of Rishi Atri with enough energy or simple water for living. But the whole body country could not survive well with it. That’s why sage does penance i.e. Kundalini Yogasadhana for extra energy. One day, on asking for Shakti-jal by Rishi-jiva, Anasuya-buddhi started wandering all over the body in search of it. By the grace of Shivling, she felt the sexual based Kundalini Shakti i.e. Ganga around Muladhar. She inspired the prana of the body i.e. the workers of Dahdesh or body-country to make a pit there i.e. to press Muladhara with the heel in Siddhasana or to make a sensory pit in the front Manipur Chakra by yogasanas, massages etc. It seems to me that this pit is the deep pit above the base of the back or the hip bone prominence. At the time of massage, by pressing hard with the base of the straight palm and slowly sliding upwards, a sharp and blissful sensation is felt, which starts climbing upwards in the spinal cord. It seems to be directly related to the real or textual Mooladhara, because Mooladhara is also often referred to as the pit. Massage should not be done in the spine with the force of fingers, because there can be a fear of damage like injury to the delicate bone. Divine water was filled there, which means there was a feeling of blissful energy. She fed that water to the sage means the soul felt that sensation. The soul found it different and divine from other days because sexual pleasure was also mixed in it. Both of them took bath in it, which means that it climbed up from the coccyx to the brain, due to which both of them got refreshed along with the whole body. Both the intellect and the soul reside in the brain and are connected to each other, so they feel everything together. It can also be taken in another way that a tantric couple is consuming energy together in Yabyum posture. All living beings were satisfied after drinking water, which means all the cells of the body were refreshed and recharged with energy. Ganga liked Anasuya’s chastity. Surely she must have taken hes test, only then came to know. Nowadays there are many examiners of the religion of chastity. For women going to office or work, various men peeping at them and talking to them with love-filled obscenities, being in the mood to misbehave with them, etc. is their test. There will be no exam while sitting inside the house. The meaning is clear that stay with everyone but serve your husband only. Ganga asked Anasuya for a year’s good deeds in exchange for permanently settling there, which means that Sushumna can be permanently awakened by one year’s Tantric Yogasadhana and Shivling worship. There the Atriswar Linga was also established permanently. To me it seems to be the awakened Muladhar Chakra. Chakras are in the form of lingas, because the same sensation as linga-based is experienced there. Twelve Jyotirlingas are twelve chakras only. The light is created there by the shining of the meditation picture. That meditation picture can be the form of Shiva, Guru, lover etc. According to Shivpuran, there are many lingas and upalingas, but these twelve Jyotirlingas are the main ones. Other lingas are called sub or upa lingas only, not Jyotirlingas, because the brightness of the Kundalini picture is felt only on the chakras. By the way, every cell of the body can be called a linga, because they become active only when Ganges water in the form of energy falls on them. As far as the Kundalini Shakti in the form of Ganga reaches to bathe, there is linga’s presence. Anyway, cerebrospinal fluid flows in the spinal cord, which is just like water. Many scientists claim that energy flows in the same way as the flow of a fluid. Although at the time of Sushumna awakening, energy flows in the form of sensationally bright line. It is possible that flow can occur in both ways, especially in the common and simple energy flow, the contribution of fluid flow is more. From this story it seems that any sage discovered Kundalini Shakti and realized it, which he told in the form of a myth rather than telling it directly.

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 help is sought out even by gods to succeed

Well, continuing with the previous post, that is why the branch of Tantra in Buddhism is named Vajrayana. That is why the name Premyogi Vajra has also been given. Basically, there is Premyoga in his practice, but Tantra also has a good contribution in it. The deities fought with Vritrasura for a long time. But they could not defeat him. In the end, accepting defeat, they left their weapons near Dadhichi Muni’s hermitage and ran away. It means that the gods put many organs like hands, feet, eyes, ears, brain etc. in the man’s body to avoid the thoughts of sorrows. Earlier man was a unicellular organism like a virus. It was a state full of sorrow. To remove that sorrow, the gods developed that primary creature for many ages. In the end, the human body became existant. Where did the sorrows end even after so much hard work? On the contrary, it started growing. Today, the more progress science is making, the more tampering with nature is increasing, due to which the devastation of life and property is also increasing. Natural disasters are increasing. Crimes like murder, robbery etc. are increasing. The main five defects of the mind, lust, anger, greed, attachment, pride, jealousy and the innumerable mental disorders arising from them such as depression, loneliness, violence, selfishness etc. are on the rise. Means Vritrasur attacked him in the form of a mountain of sorrows as ego. The gods were forced to raise their hands. Dadhichi Muni here called is the soul. Near his hermitage, the gods left their weapons, meaning they created all the parts of the body, because the body is closest to the soul. The gods accepted defeat, meaning that the supreme sorrow or enemy of the mind in the form of ego could never be destroyed by the power of senses and organs, it was completely proved, minor physical and mental sorrows would have definitely gone away. This supreme sorrow was the demon Vritrasur. Due to the boon of Shiva, the bones of Dadhichi Muni had become like a thunderbolt. It means that due to Shiva provided Yoga, there was so much elasticity and liveliness in the bones, especially in the spinal cord, that the Kundalini energy could easily flow in it. Just see the lightning. It breaks even the hard rock, and along with it electricity also flows in it. Similarly, the movement of the luminous energy line in the sushumna nadi of the spinal cord is like a lightning strike, and the destruction of the ego by it is like the breaking of a rock. Ego is the hardest thing in the world, which is the most difficult to break.
It is said that sage Dadhichi also had a wife named Suvarcha. When the deities went to Brahma seeking help, it was he who advised them to ask for the bones from Dadhichi. Suvarcha was in the inner chamber, and the deities demanded his bones from Dadhichi, who was sitting in the outer chamber. Dadhichi left the body after applying Yogasamadhi and he merged into Brahman. When Suvarcha found out she became very angry, and cursed the gods. Suvarcha was pregnant at that time. With the semen power of the sage, she got a son as great as another Shiva. His name was Pippalad. Brahma is the original creator of the universe. He knows that the gods may exert as much force as they like, but they cannot remove spiritual ignorance. He also knew that when the Kundalini is awakened by the energy flow in the Sushumna located in the spine of the Yogi, it can be destroyed. With awakening, not only will ignorance disappear, the ego will also vanish. Ego is the form of man’s own ordinary worldly experience. When there is no ego, then how can a human being exist. It is said that Dadhichi Muni himself left his body and went away. Actually the ego has already ended before awakening. Only then there is an experience of awakening. How can one experience awakening if there is even an iota of ego, because both are diametrically opposite to each other. When the yogi’s ego is destroyed by tantric yoga practice, then only the real awakening begins. Due to the elimination of ego, the worldly garbage in the mind of the yogi also remains to a minimum, due to which sufficient nervine power is available for the awakening of the Kundalini. Suvarcha, the wife of Rishi Dadhichi, is actually Buddhi or intellect. The destruction of the ego leads to the transformation of man. Through this, old thoughts and memories become destroyed like a roasted seed. but that luminous intelligence or good sense remains, which puts one on a good path. Old experiences are also remembered. The Sanskrit word varchas means shining. She cursed the gods, which means that the body does not act arbitrarily under the control of the gods, but behaves rationally under the guidance of good sense. After the transformation of a man, his new, awakened and godlike state comes, he is called son Pippalad. That state has a tantric nature like Rudra i.e. Shiva, that is why he is called Rudravatar.

Kundalini Shakti kills the demon Vritrasur by becoming Indra-Vajra

Friends, in the previous post we have seen how the worldly intelligence in the form of Shukracharya wants to deprive the soul as King Bali from awakening. Very beautiful story. One such yoga-mystical story of Vritrasura killing comes in the Puranas. The gods made a thunderbolt from the bones of Dadhichi Rishi to kill the demon Vritrasura. The word Vritra seems to be derived from the word Vritti. It means the thoughts of the mind. There are thoughts in the mind or chitta. Chitta means the collection of thoughts that happened physically earlier, and are now stored in memory. That’s why remembering is also called coming to mind or coming Cheta. Only Kundalini awakening can weaken or paralyze them. It seems that Kundalini awakening can be achieved only when Sushumna located in the spinal cord is activated, otherwise not. Vritrasura died due to thunderbolt, which means Kundalini was awakened only because of the awakening of Sushumna in the spinal cord. It is said that along with the thunderbolt, Vishwakarma also made an arrow. The shape of Vajra has been called Dandavat or cylindrical. The spinal cord is also a bit cylindrical. The name of the arrow is Brahmashir, meaning it goes up to Brahmarandhra, which is at the top of the head that’s the opening of sahasrar chakra. This arrow is the Sushumna Nadi. Vishwakarma had made many other weapons from the bones of Dadhichi Rishi. Meaning that Yogasanas are possible only with the help of bones. Different joints of bones help us to perform different postures. Then energy is transmitted in the body through those asanas, which helps in awakening the power. That Vritrasura used to trouble all the gods. This means that the body’s metabolism gets disturbed due to restlessness of the mind, and various diseases enter it. The body is made of gods only. The literal meaning of Vishwakarma is, the doer of all the work of the world, means the creator of the world. The whole world resides in the body only. It is said in the story that the Vajra and the arrow named Brahmashir were made from the bones of the spine. It is also said that Indra called Surbhi cow and made her lick the bones and then ordered Vishwakarma to make vajra from them. Indra, enhanced by the effulgence of Lord Shiva, picked up that thunderbolt and ran furiously at Vritrasura, as if Rudra was running towards Yama. After this, that Indra, being well prepared, quickly cut off Vritrasura’s head like a mountain peak with that thunderbolt. This is figurative language. With the glory of Shiva, it means with the help of Tantra, because Shiva is the originator of Tantra. This is the description of the energetic state of Kundalini awakening. Because the thoughts of the mind are born in the head, that is why it is said to behead Vritrasura. This story continues in the next post as well.

When all the gods work together, it is said that Indra did that work, because Indra is the king of the gods. Kundalini Yoga is accomplished only by the combined efforts of all the parts of the body, that is, all the deities. That is why it is said that Indra killed Vritrasura. I think khechari mudra is said as licking by surabhi cow, in which the opposite surface of tongue is touched with the soft palate. Because the head is directly connected with the spinal cord, hence it is a part of Vajra. Due to this the energy circulates easily in the channel loop. After that Vajra manufacturing starts, that means energy starts running in the spinal cord.

Vishwakarma made it, means it is made automatically by scientific principle, no man makes it. All you have to do is create favorable conditions for being itself. The world is also created by itself. The name of Vishwakarma has been given to decorate this very being.
