Kundalini Yoga in Shrimad Bhagwat Gita

Sung by Shrikrishna

Friends, a friend started sending me online Geeta on WhatsApp a few days ago. One shloka is sent daily in the morning and one in the evening. I found a lot of material in it which was related to Kundalini and Advaita. There are some points about which there also seems to be confusion in the society. By the way, I have received the rites of Geeta from my childhood. My grandfather’s name used to start with Geeta, and he was very fond of Geeta. I too had read the detailed commentary on the Gita. But there is a lot of difference between reading and heeding.

Description of Tantric Kundalini Yoga in the 29th verse of fourth chapter of Gita

💐भागवत गीता अध्याय-4💐अपाने जुह्वति प्राणं प्राणेऽपानं तथापरे। प्राणापानगती रुद्ध्वा प्राणायामपरायणाः॥४-२९॥

Some offer prana (incoming breath) in apana (outgoing breath) and others apana in prana. Some others who practice Pranayama (restraint of breath) stop the flow of prana and apana – ॥29॥

The first line of this shloka literally means that some yogis perform havan or sacrifice of prana vayu in apana vayu or air, means they burn prana into apana. Prana Vayu prevails above the chest in the body. Apan Vayu pervades the areas of the Swadhisthana Chakra and Muladhara Chakra. When meditation is done together on the agya chakra, the swadisthana chakra and the mooladhara chakra, then the prana and the apana are gathered together on the swadhisthana chakra. This causes the Kundalini to shine on the Swadhisthana Chakra. In yoga, at place of Swadhisthan, Manipur Chakra is also kept. Then prana and apana are burned on the samana air. Even then, it is called a offering of prana in apana, because apana is closer to naval than prana. Samana air prevails in naval area. Many times meditation of the single chakra, sahasrara or ajna chakra is done. Then a slight meditation is turned to the Swadhisthana Chakra or Muladhara Chakra. This brings down the prana from these top two chakras, and it becomes the part of apana. In a way, apana eats prana, just as fire consumes wood or other ingredients of yajna. That is why the offering of prana in apana is written here. Rajyogi type people do this offering more to get well worldly grounding for they have plenty of energy in top chakras due to their thinking nature.

The second line of this verse literally means that some other people perform burning of apana into prana fire. When the Ajna Chakra, the Anahata Chakra and the Mooladhara or Swadhisthana Chakra are meditated together, then the prana (upper air) and the apana (lower air) gather on the Anahata Chakra. Because there is prana on the Anahata Chakra along with the ajna Chakra, that is why it is said that the apana is poured on to prana fire to burn it. In this too many times only two chakras are meditated. At first mooladhara or swadhisthana chakra is meditated upon. Then a slight meditation is diverted towards the Sahasrara or ajna cycle. With this, the apana climbs up from the bottom chakras through backbone channel and joins the prana. It is written as the offering of apana in prana. Keep in mind that it’s Kundalini that’s felt in the form of Prana or Apana. Tantric type well ground people do this type of offering more for they have plenty of energy at bottom chakras. They get mental energy necessary for kundalini activation and awakening with this.

The word by word meaning in the third and fourth line is that people who do pranayama or breathing exercises do this (havan or prana yajna) by stopping the movement of prana and apana, meaning stopping the inbreathing and out breathing respectively. It is most important in yoga. Actually, it’s the real or main Yoga. Prana-apana union is the heart of Yoga. Other activities are only its supportive means. While breathing in, the prana goes up through the spine. Kundalini also accompany it. Expiration or out breathing means that while exhaling, Prana descends through the front channel, which means that it reinforces apana. With this the Kundalini also comes down. Then again it rises up through the rear channel with inbreathing. This cycle goes on. Due to this, Kundalini is not able to remain stable at one place, due to which it is not properly meditated. We cannot stop prana, because it is a subtle energy flowing in the channels. Yes, we can stop pranavayu or breath, to which prana is connected. In this way, breath acts as a handle for prana. When the breath is stabilized by holding the breath, then we can give prana or kundalini a carefully controlled motion. While breathing, we cannot control prana or kundalini much with meditation, because the breath keeps making it dance here and there. Prana and Kundalini climb up through the channel of the back with the breath going in, and with the breath going out, they descend through the front channel. By stopping the breath, both prana and kundalini stop. When the Kundalini stops, the mind also becomes static, because Kundalini is an experimental part of the mind. We cannot control the whole mind together, that’s why an experimental piece or sample piece of it is taken in the form of Kundalini. For this reason, after Kundalini Yoga, one feels joy with stability and peace of mind. Prana is one and same everywhere in body. For the sake of explaining according to the place of activity, it has been divided into different parts, which is prana, apana etc. By holding the breath to interpose Prana and Apana on a Chakra, Imagine on Manipur Chakra, the main meditative focus is kept on the Manipur Chakra and also the Slant or minor Meditative mind is placed on the ajna Chakra and Muladhara chakra. Due to this, the life force or prana between ajna chakra and manipura chakra come down and the apana situated below the manipura chakra come up and both clash with each other on the Manipur Chakra. This exposes the Kundalini there. On each chakra, both of the prana and apana are drawn once by exhaling and holding breath there, and once by inhaling and holding breath there. It should be kept in mind that the breath should not be held for more than one’s easily tolerable point of time. Breaking one’s tolerance limit can cause brain damage.

Keeping hands on the middle chakra helps in focusing. Similarly, while sitting in Siddhasana, one feels a sense of pressure on the base chakra by the heel of one foot, and on the Swadhisthana Chakra with the other foot. This sensation also helps in meditation of the chakra. But remember that full Siddhasana sometimes causes knee pain, especially in the knee of the upper leg whose heels touch the swadisthana chakra. Therefore, Ardha or half Siddhasana should be applied in such condition. In this, only the heel of one leg touches the Muladhara Chakra. The second leg rests comfortably on the ground, not just above the first leg. Long-term neglect of knee pain also increases their chances of worsening.

Formulation of Raja Yoga in the 30th verse of the fourth chapter of the Gita

💐भागवत गीता अध्याय-4💐
अपरे नियताहाराः प्राणान्प्राणेषु जुह्वति। सर्वेऽप्येते यज्ञविदोयज्ञक्षपितकल्मषाः॥४-३०॥
taking regulated food, offer (vital airs) prana in prana. All these seekers are knowers of (Yagya) sacrifice and destroy their sins by performing it. ॥30॥

This shloka literally means that people with regular dieting habits offer or sacrifice pranas in to pranas. All these seekers are going to destroy sins and know yajnas of knowledge. Yogis with regular dieting habits and satvic lifestyle are Rajyogis. These are not having tantric and open lifestyle so these do not take shelter of the Panchamakaras or 5Ms. Therefore, the chakras located in the lower parts of their body are weak, due to lack of prana or apana. They meditate on the Kundalini in the chakras of the upper part of body, starting from the brain up to the heart chakra. They mainly form a triangle of meditation. One point of that triangle is the Sahasrara Chakra, the second point is the front ajna chakra, and the third point is the rear ajna chakra. This involves direct or main meditative focus on one point, especially on the front ajna, and slant or secondary meditation focus on the other two chakras. The points can also be interchanged. Similarly, triangle can also be formed by taking other chakras. The prana from all these three points of triangle gather at that point where main meditative focus is maintained and Kundalini starts glowing there. The point of the top in these triangles is mostly the Sahasrara Chakra. Actually, triangle is made to centralize or concentrate the prana on its lines from nearby areas all-around. One can’t meditate large area together. For further concentration of prana situated on triangle, its three conical points are chosen. Prana on these three points is further concentrated on to single point through keeping main meditative focus on it. In the last, we get highly concentrated prana on that single point along with Kundalini there. Similarly, the same happens with the straight line, imagine a line connecting Muladhara, Manipur and ajna chakra points. The prana of the body around line is centered on the line through little meditation. Then the prana of the line is centered on these three connected chakra points. Then the prana of all the three points is gathered on that chakra point, on which the main meditative focus is kept. Secondary or oblique meditative focus is put on both other points. It’s a wonderful spiritual psychology.

Prana-apana union in Christianity

The living Jesus answered and said : “Blessed is the man who has known these things. He has brought heaven down, he has lifted the earth and has sent it to heaven, and he has become the Midst for it is nothing.” I suppose the heaven is Prana that’s brought down as described above. Similarly, earth is Apana that’s lifted up. Midst is the union of both. Nothing produced there is kundalini produced along with mental stasis that comes accompanied with nonduality. Nonduality with mental stasis is equivalent to nothing. Prana is called heaven because it resides in the upper chakras of the body, and the upper chakras have the same nature as the heavenly realms, and are also depicted so in many places. Likewise, Earth is called Apana because apana pervades the lower chakras of the body, especially the base chakra. These lower chakras are also referred to as substandard or hellish realms. Muladhara is given the metaphor of the earth, because by its meditation man is well connected to the ground or physical dimension, that is, it provides man with a base. That is why its name is made by adding the words root (mool) and base (adhar). The earth also provides the greatest base for living and standing.

Kundalini science is the backbone of most of the religious beliefs

Travel paths of Ida, Pingala and Sushumna

Friends, Kundalini science is the backbone of all religions. All religious beliefs are based on it. I will explain this principle by giving some examples of some of the traditional beliefs of Hindu religion along with some practical know-how of Kundalini yoga. Although these beliefs look pity, but these convey a great practical message of Kundalini yoga.

Centralizing the Kundalini with the toe touching the heel

According to this belief, if a heel of a man’s foot is hit by another man’s foot from behind, then other heel is also to be kicked in the same way. It makes both people auspicious. In fact, with the hit on the foot of one side of body, the Kundalini becomes more active on that side of the body as the Kundalini pursues sensation. When the same sensation arises in the foot on the other side of the body, then the Kundalini starts going to the other side. This brings her to the center of the body, i.e. the spinal cord. This makes a man balanced, which makes him auspicious in every way. The other man also gets the benefit of this effect, because what’s karma, that’s the fruit. I have seen this happen myself.

One or odd sneeze is inauspicious, but two or even sneezes are considered auspicious

The same Kundalini principle works behind this as well. The sensation of a sneeze activates only one side of the brain. Imagine that the left side becomes active. This means that at that time the thinking of man was limited, linear or logical. Because the two parts of the brain constantly communicate among themselves, it is sure that it will alert the right side. When the second sneeze occurs, the right part of the brain becomes active with it. This makes a man’s thinking unlimited or logical. This causes the Kundalini or Awareness to revolve in both parts of the brain and become centered in the middle of the brain. On this central line, Sahasrara and the Ajna chakras are situated. This leads to fullness, balance and joy.

The inner marriage of the brain with itself is the form of Ardhanarishvara god or Shiva Vivah

The right and left parts of the brain keep on working turn by turn. This happens through the permanent contact route between them. This neuronal pathway is called the corpus callosum. In which people it’s not there due to any disease etc., these continue to work continuously as separate units for a long time. These people are unable to do their work properly due to lack of mutual coordination between both halves of their brain. In normal person, left brain works for some time. It performs everyday tasks efficiently by staying within a rational, limited, and practical scope. But man gets tired of the glare of its thoughts in a short time. Then the body comes under the control of the right brain. Its work style is unlimited, irrational or illogical, emotional, compassionate and investigative in nature like an open sky. Because there is no dazzle of thoughts that bind man in a limited range, so it is having darkness. By staying in it, as soon as the old fatigue of a man’s thought processes is over, this part stops, and the left part starts again. This cycle goes on continuously. The time interval of job transfer may vary according to activity level of a man and his spiritual interest. Now the point is, to make both parts of the brain work together equally. This is the arrival of the Kundalini in the central line or sushumna. With this, the Kundalini Shakti means the vital force is divided equally in both the parts, and makes the whole brain functional. The same is also felt during Kundalini awakening, when instead of a particular area, the whole brain becomes conscious, active and vibrating equally. We can also call this as the internal union of Ardhanarishvara or Shiv Vivaha. It can also be said that the left part of the body is married to the right part. In Hinduism, the left part of Shiva named Ardhanarishvara is shown as female goddess and the half right side as male god. Kundalini picture tries to be in the left brain, that’s why Kundalini has been given a feminine form. You see, everyone has natural instinct to be always submerged inside the pool of glistening thoughts. This instinct is to be overcome through regular practice of shifting awareness to empty sky of right brain. An attempt is made to bring it to the center through Kundalini yoga. A person becomes a complete human being only by the centralization of Kundalini. By this, there is logical practicality in him, as well as irrational emotionality and discovery mind too along with . This means that advaita or non duality is born there, because without advaita it is not possible to coexist with two opposing qualities. In the same way, by directly maintaining the advaita bhava from physiology philosophy or sharirvigyan darshan or Puranas, the clarity of Kundalini is increased in the mind. To keep the two opposing qualities together in the mind or to keep the Kundalini through Kundalini Yoga requires a lot of vital energy. That is why I have laid a lot of emphasis on balanced diet and balanced life for yoga in the last post. In beginning, while doing Kundalini yoga, I used to rotate the Kundalini around the head at the level of the sahasrar chakra and ajna chakra in the brain, as if a farmer is running a plow in a circular field. With this, my whole brain would become active, and Kundalini would be centered with bliss. I also noticed that drawing water from one nose and removing it from the other nose also helps the Kundalini to centralize. This is called Jal Neti. For this, the water should be lukewarm, and mildly salty, otherwise plain and cold water irritates the mucous membrane of the nose.

Ida, Pingala and Sushumna nadis are the only three nadis necessary for Kundalini awakening

During the practice of Kundalini Yoga, there are three sensation paths in the back. The nadis are actually subtle sensory pathways, which can only be experienced. In physical form, I do not see these in my body. They may also be in physical form. This is a research topic. A sensation ascends through the left side of the back, and ends at the command ajna chakra after passing through the left brain. The second sensational path likewise passes through the right part of back and the brain, which is also completed on the ajna chakra. One is Ida and the other is Pingala Nadi. In the middle of these two and right in the middle of the spinal cord, the third channel passes to the Sahasrara, which is in the middle of the back and brain. This is the sushumna channel. Unlike the usual diagrams, I find Ida and pingala more lateral that’s towards the margins of back. May be it a short practice effect. Actually, feeling matters more than the theoretical principles in Yoga. Kundalini awakening is done by the Kundalini climbing through this channel. Even if Kundalini is climbing up through Ida or Pingala channel, it should not be interfered, because Kundalini is beneficial in every situation. She should also not be forced to travel through the sushumna channel, because Kundalini does not like force much. Kundalini is happy with surrender. When she is climbing through Ida or Pingala, along with her meditation, Mooladhara or swadhishthan chakra and ajna Chakra should also be meditated together. With this, she comes into the sushumna channel, or after climbing in the channel of the opposite side in the back for a while, she starts climbing in the spinal cord or sushumna channel. This causes Kundalini to be expressed in Sahasrar. Along with this, there is also the attainment of bliss with the balance of body and mind. Kundalini is not taken down from the Sahasrara to the Ajna Chakra, hence the end of the Sushumna Nadi is depicted in the Sahasrara Chakra. In fact, keeping Kundalini in Sahasrar and awakening it there is the primary goal of Kundalini Yoga. All spiritual qualities are manifested by this. The Sahasrara Chakra connects the body to the universe. It is the most spiritual chakra, which is connected to the soul on one side, and the divine or God on the other side. Sahasrara has great ability to withstand the pressure of the Kundalini. It seems that Sahasrara’s itching is being erased by the Kundalini, and one is having joy of this. However, if there is unbearable pressure, then the Kundalini can be brought down to ajna chakra and to the lower body through the front channel. However, it appears more difficult and messy as compared to bringing down through Ida or pingala. However, it is helped by keeping the inverted tongue touched with the soft palate.That is why the end of Ida and Pingala is depicted in the ajna chakra, but the end of sushumna channel is depicted in Sahasrara chakra. If you concentrate together on the Muladhar and the ajna chakra, then the Kundalini runs through the Ida channel. If you meditate together on the Swadhisthana Chakra and the ajna Chakra, then the Kundalini is transmitted through the Pingala Nadi. This means that meditating ajna chakra, swadhishthan chakra and Muladhar Chakra, all three together would make Kundalini run through the Sushumna channel up to sahasrar or it will reach the sahasrar chakra directly. This is also shown in the picture. You can see that Kundalini has reached the Sahasrara Chakra without the participation of the Sushumna Nadi. Passing through Ida and Pingala, Kundalini join together at the ajna chakra. From there, she climbs up through the left and right brain and gathers at Sahasrara. It also feels like this. A thick wave filled with pressure in the brain on both sides goes up and feels connected in Sahasrara. That’s why both of these short channels are shown in the picture as thick bands. When the Kundalini is to be lowered down from sahasrar chakra through the front channel, it is through these same band shape short channels that it is lowered from Sahasrara to the ajna Chakra, and down from there. You must have noticed, when a man is mentally exhausted, he rubs his forehead, and also constricts his eyes and forehead. This gives him a feeling of passing of some gushing fluid through both sides of the forehead. That makes him mentally rejuvenated. It is experienced by the functioning of these channels. You can experience it by doing this just now. In real and casual practice, none of these channels are experienced only these four chakras together with Kundalini at sahasrar chakra is experienced. The Ida Nadi represents the female part of Ardhanarishvara Dev that’s half man half woman god. The Pingala channel represents right half of his body that’s the male god part. The sushumna nadi signifies the union or marriage of the two parts. Sushumna channel carries the most of the energy from the Muladhar Chakra to the brain. That is why, by meditating on Sahasrara during Tantric Yoga, the Muladhar Chakra becomes fully shrunk and loose. In daily folklore, anyone too must have realized that when the brain gets busy with some other work, the sexual arousal becomes completely calm. Of course, that energy is not seen passing through the spinal cord, but the path of its passage to Sahasrara is through the spinal cord or sushumna only. The flow of energy through the spinal cord is experienced through special and long practice of yoga breathings. That too is experienced only for a few moments, as the experience of falling lightning is momentary. But there is no need to experience it. Important is the Kundalini awakening, which happens without its experience. If you are able to reach the fruit directly, then what is the need to see the tree. Probably it may be the source of origination of this Hindi saying, ” Eat the mangoes, don’t count the trees”. Energy also ascends through the Ida and Pingala channels  that terminate in ajna chakra, but not as much as through the Sushumna channel.

Kundalini is like a bird that likes to fly in the empty and open sky

Friends, yoga or spirituality has been shown to be associated with flying. The description of planes appears in many places in the spiritual scriptures. Yogis have been shown flying in the sky at many places. The soul has been given the metaphorical form of bird. Today we will discuss it scientifically.

There is basically no difference between the soul and the sky

Both are three-dimensional. Both are ubiquitous. During the divine experience of self-awareness, man experiences himself as a glaring, blissful, all-pervasive, and conscious sky. Similarly, at the time of encounter of the departed soul, the man feels himself like the sky. However, it has very few qualities of light, consciousness and bliss. Therefore, that form appears like a glowing mascara. Yet that form is ubiquitous.

Man’s mind has always been tempted to fly in the sky

The reason for this is that the soul is sky-like. Everyone wants to befriend someone like him. That is why every man wants to travel in the sky. This is the reason why you get pleasure sitting in an airplane. When I was sitting in the plane, Kundalini became active with pleasure in my mind. Likewise, I went to an empty field to enjoy kite with my family one day. Children were flying kites in the high sky, and I lay on the ground facing sky over a mat, so that I could see the kite continuously without turning my neck. I kept watching the kite without getting tired for about an hour and a half. During that time Kundalini remained active, with quiet thoughts and old memories slowly creeping with bliss in my mind. Many times I felt like sitting on that kite myself and flying in the high sky. For many days, that bliss remained in my mind, and along with it, the zeal also dominated. There was a good mood in work as well. Similarly, Kundalini bliss increases in the mountains as well. This is because the mountains are also three dimensional like the sky, although slightly less than that. Even in the mountains, man can move in every way. He can also move back and forth, and can also climb up and down.

Kundalini bird starts flying in the sky as it becomes available

When with sharirvigyan darshan or other nondual philosophies, the emptiness of the sky begins to settle in the mind, then Kundalini starts to appear like a flying bird in it. Together, there is bliss as like flying in the sky. At that time the soul is like the dark and void sky of the background, and only the Kundalini expresses like a glistening bird in the sunny sky or as a piece of light. Hence the soul that has been considered as a bird in the scriptures, that’s actually Kundalini. Kundalini is the compressed or short form of the soul. As the snake becomes smaller by coiling into a tight spiral, so too the soul. That is why it is called Kundalini that literally means coiled into spiral. When the Kundalini joins the soul fully and becomes universal, then it is called the opening of the coil of the snake and coming to its real and detailed form. In the same way, when one becomes connected to the sky, the nondual emptiness like the sky starts filling the mind. That also creates the same Kundalini effect, which fills the mind with bliss in the same way. That is why, as mentioned above, in the scriptures, yogis are shown flying in the sky, and planes are described in abundance.

Kundalini is the lamp of the deluded soul

The mind becomes void and calm like the sky due to the meditation of non duality, but its bliss and light disappears. This happens because joy and light are with the thoughts of the mind. They disappear with thoughts. To compensate for these, the Kundalini in the form of a lonely picture becomes active in the mind. It acts like a lamp, and fills the thoughtless mind or soul with joyful light. Through the long-term Kundalini yoga practice, there comes a time when the soul produces its own natural light. Then the light of the Kundalini lamp also fades there. But this happens only at the highest and last level of spiritual practice. This is called asamprajnata samadhi.

Kundalini is the physical representative of the soul

The soul is zero like the sky but full of consciousness as opposed to it, although by being in worldliness, it has to bear its ill effects of illusion. This causes its conscious light to disappear. When man tries to return to his primitive soul with advaita spirit, then Kundalini appears there. This is because the neuronal energy in the brain is gathered from the thoughtless state generated by Advaita, which usually produces thoughts. The easy way to get that neuronal energy out is through Kundalini thought or picture. This happens because for that the brain does not have to decide what the Kundalini picture is like, should it be thought about, what will be the consequences of thinking it, etc. This is because of the long association with the Kundalini picture. This relationship can be as natural as love etc., and also artificial in the form of yoga etc. The same Kundalini picture tries to give the soul the natural qualities of its light, consciousness, etc. At that time the soul is in the form of Yin, and Kundalini as Yang. However this seems to us due to worldly illusion. In fact, it’s just opposite, there is Kundalini in the form of Yin and the soul in the form of Yang. The union of these two is Shivvihiva or Shiva marriage. When it is completed, it is called Kundalini awakening or Self Realization. At that time, the consciousness of Kundalini envelops the whole self-sky, and the two seem to be completely mingled with each other. Kundalini is said to be the physical representative of the soul, because it is undoubtedly a limited and solitary image in the limited brain, and is bound by physical constraints, but it has all the conscious qualities of the soul. The same reminds the soul of its true real qualities. But it happens through practice. That is why Kundalini is always remembered through yoga, love, etc.

Kundalini may require the Yogic Panchamakaras of leftist Tantra to balance the three gunas of nature

Friends, last week we talked about the Panchamakaras and the tamoguna that originated from them. We have also described the Panchamakaras in old posts. It appears that it’s necessary to read previous post to understand this post fully. Actually, the Panchamakars are the main weapon of the leftist tantric to hunt for Kundalini. These are the five things whose names start with the letter M. These are sex (maithun in Sanskrit or Hindi), meat (maans), alcohol (Madira), fish (matsya) and mudra (typical sustained body posture). Fifth panchmakara, Mudra is actually Kundalini yoga. It’s important to note that Panchmakaras should never be confused with worldly forms of these material things or sentiments. These only become panchmakaras when these are fully accompanied with spiritual sentiment and practices in the guidance of a qualified Guru and are utilized in minimum amount for the maximum spiritual benefits. Not doing so, panchmakaras may turn harmful too. Panchmakaras initially produce duality. Then it can be converted to non duality with various meditation techniques and nondual philosophies like Vedas-puranas or sharirvigyan darshan. Actually, non duality has not its separate existence. It’s only the negation of duality. it’s the duality that has it’s own existence. Therefore, we can only produce duality directly through worldly indulgence. We can’t produce non duality directly but only through negation of duality. In other words, duality is the base thing to be attained first. To what we would apply the negation word ‘non’, if there is no duality. There appears wide spread misunderstanding regarding non duality. We can’t remain nondual while fully ignoring the duality. Both sentiments run together side by side. This post is not advocating any particular thing or method or lifestyle. We are only presenting the scientific truth to the readers.

Panchamakars are considered sinful in the eyes of the world

One of the reasons, which was mentioned in the previous post is that they produce tamoguna. The second reason is that in it violence karma is involved. You get the fruits of karma. But one only gets it according to karma, not according to his choice or thinking. According to classical mythology, most people understand that it will lead to death penalty or will have to face severe torture in terrible hells, because all types of sins or violence are equal. But this does not happen. This is only a spiritual expression, not a physical or practical one. Minor fruits of minor sins continue to be seen, which are ordinarily seen in the common progressive public in any way, such as getting sick, slipping foot, sprains, increase in the chance of an accident, etc. But in most cases, rescue takes place. The power from the Panchamakars makes the man more engrossed in worldly pursuits. Naturally the minor illnesses, physical pains and mental pains that arise from this are as the result of their sins. With them, the sin of the Panchamakaras is destroyed, and the business of the world also continues to progress. Therefore, the maximum use of energy should be done in such a way that one has to commit least sins for it. This is karma management. This is the Yoga.

Nowadays it seems difficult to do Kundalini yoga without Panchamakaras

I was reading about the yoga experience of a young man in a blog. He had become a pure vegetarian for yoga. Once he lives in the wilderness of Amazon as guest to someone he knows. There, he avoids the fish and asks for pulses to be put into a pit made by him in the rice pile in his plate. The laughter of his acquaintance does not take the name of stopping. Embarrassed by this, he becomes a non-veg yogi. It means habits and habitats are according to the country. Eating a balanced diet is very important for a yogi, because yoga requires a lot of energy. Yoga is the second name of balance or balanced life. It highlights the importance of balanced diet in one’s life. We consider the balance of food to be limited only to the balance of nutrients. But in fact, this balance should be extended even to the gunas of the nature or prakriti. A person can get all the necessary nutrients from vegetarianism, but he will get the Tamogun of nature only from the non-vegetarian. One can also use limited alcohol without any harm to health, to obtain the necessary tamoguna. It is known to all and as it has been proved in the previous posts of this blog that for the balance of life, the three gunas of nature should be in balance inside the mind. These gunas complement each other only when in equilibrium, otherwise they may become inhibitors of each other. All of us know that mind is formed by diet. There is also a famous saying that “What is grain, that is the brain”. This shows the importance of having all the three gunas of nature in a balanced amount in the diet. It is said that no worship without eating. Vata, Pitta and Kapha of Ayurveda are also Satoguna, Rajoguna and Tamoguna respectively of nature. Health remains good by balancing them. The word non-violence that Patanjali has inserted in Yama and Niyam of ashtanga yoga means that there should be no violence without a higher purpose. If non-veg such as fish, egg is not taken in the form of mild violence or sin to keep the body strong and healthy, then it will also be violence towards the body. From that, how will the yama and niyam of yoga be applied in Yoga. Violence against the human body is the greatest violence. Patanjali used to think very long, so instead of getting into the mess of vegetarian or non-vegetarian, he added the word non-violence. This is enough for those who understand. Now if according to science, the need of the body is judged, then a man only needs 70-100 grams of meat as doze of one day for two days in a week. It can be harmful for the body if this need isn’t fulfilled or even over fulfilled. Over fulfilling also produce unnecessary tamoguna or darkness. I have seen many yogis, who feel the need after 15 days, many after 1 month, and some after 3 months. Many feel the need for non veg at an interval of six months. Now tell what will be the deficiency of nutrients fulfilled by it. From this, it is clear that the deficiency of tamoguna of man’s mind is fulfilled by it. It also gives him full and refreshing sleep due to its inherent quality of darkness, which makes a good repair of his body and mind, and that makes him healthy. The body states its own need. When it is needed, meditation starts to decrease in yoga, agility is reduced, appetite decreases, digestive system starts messing up, tremors start to occur in the body. In behavior, anger and irritability comes, it becomes difficult to maintain non duality, the mind starts to wander inside the vortex of duality, it becomes like depression, the body starts getting sick, one starts to feel like fear, disinterest in sex. To maintain the advaita sentiment in the right way in the mind, the balance of the three gunas of nature is very important. Further added, where there is non duality, there is kundalini. Like these, many symptoms occur if body requirements remain unfulfilled. In fact, due to lack of diet, some side effects are produced in every part of the body and mind. Many people ignore them and many people are not aware of these. All these bad symptoms disappear immediately after the nutritional supplements are completed. Anyway, fish is considered the best diet, because it has many healthy properties, and also has no side effects. That is why it has been specially included in the Panchamakaras. Papakarma or sin is also very less due to its consumption. Scientific research has also revealed that the fish does not feel pain. It appears as a gift given to it by the nature to escape from the torture of the very same nature. Although all the three gunas of nature are present in all things and expressions, but in a particular thing, a particular guna is more powerful. Take Panchamakars, then there is excess of Rajoguna in sex and fish, Tamogun in meat and liquor, and Satoguna in Mudra or static gesture. In today’s era of pollution and hyper-physicality, the demand for energy of the body has increased a lot. In such a situation, perhaps only the leftist Yogic panchamakaras can guide mankind correctly.

Kundalini makes Lord Shiva Sattvaguni or light form in his mind, whereas he appears to be Tamoguni or dark form when viewed from outside

Friends, Lord Shiva is heard with saying that he is Tamoguni. Tamoguna means dark qualities. Shiva wanders with the ghosts in the crematorium. On top of his body, he massages the ash of cremation ground. It is also said that Lord Shiva is the ultimate Satoguna form. Satoguna means light qualities. In this way both opposing qualities are shown inside Shiva. Then it is said to justify that Shiva is Tamoguni from outside, but Satoguni from inside. Today we will clarify this through Tantric Kundalini Yoga.

Kundalini is the main source of Sattva component of Shiva

In fact, Shiva is the first Lord of Tantra. We can also call him the first Tantric of creation. If we study the conduct of the tantric yogi carefully, then the doubts arising in relation to Shiva will also disappear. Left Tantric are generally considered to be the real Tantric. They also consume five makaras or 5 Ms. Surely, Shiva is not a Panchmakarik, but Tamoguna stays with him just like with the Panchamakarik tantrik. Tamoguna arises through consumption of these panchamakaras inside the common men of the world. This is because they are unable to handle the energy generated by these and do wrong work in their charge. Those wrongdoings add more to Tamogun. The Panchamakaras themselves create a sharp movements or waves in gunas, which also naturally creates tamoguna in most of the people of the common world, under whose influence, they may take wrong step. But a Tantrayogi calms the stir of gunas with the advaita bhava or nondual sentiment achieved through his Kundalini Yoga. A yogi often seeks the help of an Advaita Shastra to do this. The Advaita scriptures contain philosophical books about the deity, such as Puranas, Stotras, etc. Physiology philosophy or sharirvigyan darshan in Hindi is also an excellent class modern Advaita literature. Yogi keeps advaita scripture overlaid on a state of his present gunas. He keeps on understanding the truth that all his conditions exist everywhere and in everything. This makes the Kundalini shine with peace and joy. This gives him a lot of Kundalini benefit, because Kundalini is living often with Advaita. This causes the Kundalini to shine faster. When Kundalini gets the life force and neuronal power suppressed by tamoguna, she starts to come alive. This occur just like candle or spark shining brilliantly in the dark. That’s why Kundalini yoga is quickly fruiting if practised in cremation ground as by Lord Shiva. Anyway, it is seen that in the plethora of Tamoguna conditions, the movement of thoughts is stopped in the brain. This may be due to any fear, sadness, passing near the accident, stress, depression, intoxication, tamoguni non veg food, work fatigue of mind and body etc. At such times, neuronal energy is being stored in the brain. In this, the thoughts which arise in between, they are very powerful and bright, because they are receiving condensed neuronal energy. Yogis keep converting these thoughts into single Kundalini thought. This keeps all the neuronal energy going to the Kundalini. The same principle works behind the great benefits generated by remembering God or Kundalini in bad times. After this Tamogun phase, thete comes Satogun and Rajoguna phase. It is filled with the light of thoughts. Actually stored neuronal energy is exiting. It is flooded with bright ideas. The common man wastes neuronal energy in them, but the yogi converts those thoughts into Kundalini and gives all the energy to the Kundalini. She travels on all the chakras through Kundalini yoga, and makes each of these healthy and strong. The whole body and mind is filled with joy and light. In this way, the things by which the tamoguna is produced within the common man, they produce the satoguna within the tantrayogi. Due to this very reason, the people of the world see lord Shiva as Tamoguni from outside, but basically he is Satoguni from inside. This also leads to the union of yin and yang, which leads to enlightenment. Yin is tamogun, and yang is satogun.

Kundalini awakening as the peak point reached, then the order of the universe’s development stops, and after some period of stability, the process of holocaust or Pralaya starts

Friends, I wrote in the previous post that Srishti or creation development is only for Kundalini development, and with Kundalini awakening, Srishti development completes and thereafter stops. Today we will discuss what happens after that. Actually, the event of holocaust also happens inside our body, not outside.

Description of Holocaust or Pralaya in Hindu Puranas

According to the Hindu Puranas, there are catastrophes when four eras have passed. The first era is Satyuga, the second era is Dwapara, the third is Treta, and the last age is Kali Yuga. There is a gradual decline of human beings in these ages. Satyuga has been described as the best and Kali Yuga as the worst. The order in which the creation of the world happens, in the same order, the holocaust also takes place. The five elements dissolve in the sense organs. The senses merge into the Tanmātras or subtle experiences. Panchatnamatras merge in ego. The ego merges in mahattattva or intellect. In the end, the mahattattva merges into nature. At the end of the disaster, nature also merge into God.

The four ages are in the form of the four stages of human life and the four ashramas

The childhood of man can be called the Satyuga. In this man would be free from all mental and physical disorders. He is as true as the deity. Then comes adolescence. It can be named Dwapara. In this, some disorder starts in the mind. The third stage is maturity age, in which a man becomes greatly depressed by the mess of worldliness. The last stage is that of old age. It is like Kali Yuga, in which darkness prevails due to distortion of mind and body. Similarly, the four ashrams or residencies of human life are also in the form of four yugas. Brahmacharya ashram can be called Satyuga, householder’s residency is Dwaparyuga, Vanaprastha is Tretayuga and Sannyasam Ashram is Kaliyuga. In fact the states are being matched from outside by looking at the Holocaust. In any state of body, a man can be at any higher level of mind.

Human death is depicted as a holocaust

As we clarified in the previous post that man can never know the world outside his mind. His world is limited to his mind. This means that then worldly creation and holocaust are also in the mind. This mental world is described in the Puranas. We fall into deception and understand it in the physical world outside. After Kundalini awakening or mental maturity, man’s attachment is not in the outside world. He lives with advaita bhava or non duality and detachment. We can call this the stability of the universe after its complete development. Then in the last days of his life, the process of holocaust starts in him. Due to weakness, he leaves the work of worldliness and keeps busy with the maintenance of his body. In a way we can say that the Panchamahabhutas or five elements merge into the senses. Then over time his senses also start to diminish. Due to weakness, his focus shifts from the senses to the inner mind. He cannot drink water with his hand. Others feed him with water in his mouth. He feels the juices of waters. Nearby attendants feed him food by putting food in his mouth. He feels the taste and smell of food. Families bathe him with their hands. He feels the touch of water. Others show him various pictures etc. He realizes their beauty. Others tell him Katha Kirtan or godly stories. He rejoices to feel their sweet and knowledge-filled voice. In a way, the senses merge into the Panchathanmatras or five subtle inner experiences. Even with the growing weakness, the man also has difficulty in experiencing the Panchatnamatras. Then his beloved brothers call him by name. This causes the flow of a little energy inside him, and he starts to enjoy himself. We can say that the Panchatnamatras merged in ego. With the further increase of weakness, the ego’s sense in him also starts to wane. He does not achieve agility even when called by name. With his intellect, he starts analyzing about his condition inside, it’s cause, it’s remedy and future outcome. In a way, the ego merges into the mahattattva or intelligence. After that, there is no energy to think even in the intellect. Man becomes like a lifeless. In that state he either goes into a coma or dies. We shall call this as mahattattva merging into nature. As mentioned in the previous post, at that stage all the gunas fall into equilibrium. Neither do they increase, nor decrease. They remain the same. In fact, it is the thoughtful brain that provides waves to increase and decrease the gunas of nature. It is a simple matter that when the brain itself is dead, then what will give the shock of thoughts to the gunas. Ignorant people go as far as nature. These types of people keep coming back and forth as birth and death again and again. The Enlightened one may goe one step further. They leave nature and merge into Purusha or God. All the gunas of nature cease there, and man becomes a form of light. There is no rebirth from there. This can be called as extreme holocaust or atyantik Pralaya.

Kundalini awakening is the sole purpose of creation; foetus development depicted as the universe development in Hindu mythological Puranas

Friends, the creation has been specifically described in the Puranas. Somewhere the egg explodes in the sky, somewhere the lotus appears in the baseless water body and the sudden appearance of a deity on it, etc. Somewhere it comes that the direct appearance of intellect from nature, ego from intellect, the subtle experience of natural elements from ego, the senses from it and all the gross creation was born from senses afterwards. When I was younger, I used to ask my grandfather (who was a famous Hindu priest and a household Purana reader) how all of these things suddenly appeared in the open sky without any basic infrastructure. He used to say in the manner of a traditionalist and mystic philosopher, “This is how it is done. It is done.” They did not go too deeply. But now with the help of Kundalini Yoga, I understand this classical dictum as the root of all mysteries, “Yatpinde Tatbramhande”. This philosophical saying has been scientifically proven in the book “Shareervigyan darshan” in Hindi. This means that whatever is there in this body, that everything is also in the universe, nothing else. Actually, a man can never know anything other than his mind or brain, because whatever he describes that’s there inside his brain, not outside. That is why the ancient sages have explained the universe by describing the body. They were amazing body scientists and psychologists.

The creation of universe is explained in the Puranas with help of human body creation

At many places, a lotus was born from the navel of Vishnu that was lying on a great serpent swimming in the endless ocean, on which Brahma originated. His mind created the world. You can consider mother as Vishnu. His body is like a Sheshnag or mythical serpent as the central nervous system, which is located in the spinal cord-brain axis. The serpent is always immersed in the cerebrospinal fluid that’s metaphorically related to the ocean water. The sensations of the Kundalini or mother’s mind in that serpent are the form of Lord Vishnu that are dispersed throughout the body of serpent, because there is essentially no difference between Shakti and the powerful God. During pregnancy, the belly of the mother emerges outside in the navel area, the same is the appearance of the lotus from the navel of Lord Vishnu. The gravid uterus is also connected with the mother’s body through blood vessels and nerves arising nearby the mother’s navel area. These are as stem of lotus. Like the lotus petals blooming, in the womb, the placentomes and cotyledons of placenta are formed on the uterus. These button like structures are then again attached to the navel of the infant with a chord called umbilical chord that’s again like stem of the lotus flower. These structures provide nutrition to the infant. This infant is Brahma, who develops on that blooming lotus. The pure and unblemished form of the infant is the basic nature, in which there is no waves in gunas (3 basic constituents of nature). In a way, it has all the three basic gunas in equilibrium or equal quantity. Earlier I used to think that samyastastha or equilibrium means that all gunas are equal to each other. Even today many people think so. But it is not so. If this happens, then basically all living beings would be the same, but they maintain their separate identity even after the Holocaust or death. This happens because the amount of tamoguna that covers the soul’s light is different. Due to it, the quantity of other gunas also differs by itself. If Tamoguna is more then Satoguna is reduced in the same proportion and vice versa, because they are opposed to each other. In fact, all the gunas are in the unchanging state in samyavastha.  All gunas in equilibrium with no waves means that satoguna (showing light and knowledge) remains same without rise or fall, rajoguna (showing motion, energy and change) also remains same, and the tamoguna (showing darkness and ignorance) too. With this, the baby does not crave for any particular guna, as he has no habit of fluctuating gunas. That is why the child remains a bit indifferent even after experiencing everything. Actually, it can’t be said as absence of gunas but it’s gunas in equilibrium. Waves in gunas can only be produced if these gunas are already there, not in zero. Only God is nirguna or without guna. That’s why God never experiences waves in gunas as observed by all the creatures that bind the soul. This makes God perfectly changeless. God has zero gunas because God has not dark envelope of ignorance on it’s soul that makes tamoguna. Tamoguna is the base source of all gunas. That’s why panchmakarik leftist tantric appears well developed both in worldly as well as spiritual matters. Then when the baby is a little older, there is an increase in the sensations of the mind or brain. He is attracted towards light. With this, wave is produced in gunas mainly satoguna, and as a result the sattoguna form mahattatva is formed, that is, intelligence. He begins to realize how important it is for his existence to cry and drink milk. This makes the baby feel special and different, which is called ego. Tanmatras originate from it. Tanmatra is the subtle form of the Panchamahabhootas or 5 basic natural elements, which we experience in the brain. It’s the smell of the earth, the juiciness of water, the touch feel of air, the form feel of fire and the sound feel of the sky. He recognizes the taste of milk juice, recognizes the smell of toys, touches the warmth of his urine, begins to understand the difference between beautiful and ugly through form, is attracted to the sound of ghungroo or bell or toys. Then the infant looks outside to see where these sensations came from. The senses originate from it, because all of it feels outside with the help of senses such as eye, ear, skin, tongue, nose etc. Along with this, the internal sense of mind also develops, because that is what he thinks of all this. The above five elements originate from the senses, because he seeks or knows them only with help of his senses. He learns that physical substances like milk, toys, ghungroos or bells etc. are also there in the world, which he feels through his senses. Then as the child continues to learn, the origin of such creation continues to move forward. In this way, the entire creation is expanded inside a man.

Kundalini awakening is the limit of the development of creation

Man extends the creation of the universe only for Kundalini awakening. This fact is proved by the observation that after awakening of the Kundalini, man becomes a bit like a detached from the universe. His inclination starts to move away from the worldly trend but towards retirement. His tendency also becomes like a retirement, because then there is no craving arising out of attachment. It’s to be kept in mind that it’s only mental tendency as physically he may remain fully indulged and growing in the world. After awakening of the Kundalini, the man feels that he has attained everything worth attaining, and has done everything worth doing.

According to Shiva Purana, the creation was made from Shiva’s semen

In Shivpurana, it comes that an egg originated from Shiva’s semen deposited in the vagina of nature. The egg lay in water for 1000 years. Then it broke through the middle. Its upper part became the scalp of the universe. From that originated the upper heavenly abodes. From the lower part, the lower abodes were formed.

Actually Shiva is the father here, and Prakriti or Parvati is the mother. The egg is formed in the uterus by the union of semen and ovum fluid. It remains in the nutritious water of the uterus for a long time and continues to develop. Then it explodes, that is, it begins to differentiate into shape of a human being. The top part of it was clearly visible like a head or a scalp or kapola. In it, the upper worlds originated in the form of Sahasrara Chakra, ajna Chakra and Vishuddhi Chakra. In the lower part, lower abodes developed as lower chakras.

Kundalini is Goddess Parvati, the soul is God Shiva, and Kundalini awakening is the Shiva marriage

Friends, this well-known theory was confirmed in the previous post that actually Kundalini evolution has been termed as biological evolution. Kundalini takes birth in Muladhara, grows in various places, and finally awakens in Sahasrara. This is called Shiv Vivah. Just as a married couple travels to different places after marriage organized in a high-quality home, similarly the soul-kundalini couple gets married in Sahasrara and travels on different chakras. It is mentioned in the scriptures that the sages travel in different worlds or abodes. Actually those worlds are in the form of different chakras. Today we will discuss it.

Kundalini is Parvati

The ego is the king. His daughter Sati is the Kundalini. Man is successful in worldliness only through ego. A static image is produced with it, which is Kundalini. King Daksha as an ego does not want his daughter Kundalini to run after the ghostly Shiva and harm her worldliness. In the end he loses and Sati meditates in the form of Kundalini yoga to get Shiva. She goes against her father’s will and marries Shiva, meaning Kundalini wakes up. The ego decreases significantly but does not die. He takes Kundalini away from Shiva and she gets caught in his mess. By the time Kundalini realizes this, her age is complete. Angry Shiva cut the head of Daksha and put the head of the goat there means that the ego does not die even with the body, but it becomes weak. In the next life, Sati or kundalini in the form of Parvati is born to the house of the mountain king. She then meditates to attain Shiva. Kundalini resumes her campaign in the next life. In the metaphoric tale it means that the yogi holding that Kundalini goes to Yogasadhana in the Himalayas to fulfill her ultimate goal in her next birth. There, Indra sends Kamdev to break the penance of Shiva for fear of losing his throne. Shiva burns him with his sight. Here Shiva is the sleeping soul of Yogi. Kamadeva is the metaphor of the world’s colors. If the Yogi’s Kundalini is eager to meet his soul, the world’s colors cannot harm the soul, but are itself eroded. Parvati’s parents initially prevent Parvati from marrying Shiva. Actually, mind and intellect are the symbols of Parvati’s parents. Kundalini originates from them only. They expect only the achievements of worldliness from Kundalini, they do not want to allow them to do asceticism etc. for the attainment of God. In order to discourage Parvati, Shiva also meets her in vile disguise and tells the evils of Shiva. In fact, it is the soul of the initial yogi covered with ignorance who continues to create illusions about God. But Parvati continues to meditate. In the end, Shiva is pleased and marries her, meaning Kundalini is awakened. Then Parvati moves to Kailash, meaning Kundalini settles in Sahasrara. His son Karthikeya is born. He is the ruler of the divine army. His son Ganesha is also born, who avoids problems, and defeats obstacles. In fact, all these works belong to the awakened Kundalini. The divine army is the symbol of the senses of the body here.In the mythological story of Shivpuran, Shiva is depicted as a ghost, to whom Parvati is attracted. Her parents stop her. Actually, the soul covered with ignorance is Shiva, who looks like a dark ghost from outside. But in reality, it is a form of light. Ego and intelligence are the parents of Parvati Kundalini. These prevent her from going towards Shiva.

According to Kalidasa’s Kumarasambhava, Parvati wants to bring Shiva from the desolation of the cave into the mainstream of household life. Kundalini also wishes to awaken the soul or shiva steeped in ignorance. It is simultaneously written that the worldly system had come to a standstill due to the consumption of Kamdev. Then Parvati married Shiva and got him to revive Kamadeva. Then the process of creation started again. As long as the intense Kundalini Yogasadhana is running, the yogi keeps a distance from worldliness. After awakening, Kundalini makes his mind go to run again in the world, albeit with knowledge. This has been called the rebirth of kamadeva.According to the Devi Bhagwat Purana, the mountain king Himalaya and his wife Maina delight Bhagwati Adi Parashakti or supreme goddess mother. She becomes her daughter in the form of Parvati. In fact, the soul covered with ignorance or ego is the mountain king Himalaya here, and the intellect is Maina. When the mother nature is pleased with their good worldly deeds and humanity, she settles in their body permanently in the form of Kundalini.

Parvati pacifies Shiva with her romantic dance, when he performs the devastating Tandava dance. Actually, a person filled with ignorance is disturbed and wandered. He does a lot of wrongdoing. It is Kundalini who shows him sunlight and inspires for good works.

According to Shakta tradition, Shiva resides at Parvati’s house. Here Parvati is considered as the main and Shiva as the secondary. Shiva is angry with their some mutual dispute and he starts leaving the house. Then Parvati creates the dashmahavidyas and closes every door to avoid Shiva’s escape, and thus prevents Shiva from leaving. Actually, apart from Sahasrara, there are various chakras, especially Muladhara as Kundalini’s home. She dominates there. The soul is not very comfortable there. For some reason, Kundalini starts to run away or fade away due to some body’s weakness. Then Kundalini takes shelter of the Panchamakaras and the five gruesome expressions emanating from them. By this, she becomes very strong and prevents the soul from leaving. Because where there is Kundalini, there is the soul. The various doors depicted for his escape are the Kundalini Chakras. The number of Kundalini Chakras has also been reported to be ten in many places.According to a myth, Parvati is taking a bath. She keeps his son Ganesha as the watchman at the door. Ganesha does not even allow Shiva to enter. Shiva gets angry and removes his head from the torso. This makes Parvati very angry with Shiva. Then to appease her, Shiva attaches an elephant’s head to Ganesha. Actually, Kundalini wants that she gets the too dominance in the body. Ganesha is the leader of the senses. Actually, it’s intelligence. He prevents the entry of the dual worldliness that can challenge the dominance of Kundalini. He even prevents the Gods from outside to do so. Due to this, outside religious organizations get angry and punish him. But they have to bow down to the power of Kundalini and resurrect him. Although he is greatly attenuated by those organizations. Shakta cult also states that Shiva without Shakti is a corpse. This is true because without the company of Kundalini, the soul is unconscious and full of darkness. It becomes Shiva only when it is married to Kundalini in Sahasrara. It is evident from all the above facts that Kundalini Yoga is at the root of every mythology related to Shiva and Parvati.

Kundalini is the main motive of biological evolution

Friends, I said in a previous post that I experienced Kundalini on different chakras according to level of consciousness of my mind. When there was more consciousness, the Kundalini came on the upper chakras, and when there was less consciousness, it came on the lower chakras. In fact the level of consciousness is measured by a pure mind, not by a combined mind with external senses. With the help of external senses, all people and many other creatures are full of consciousness. External senses do not remain after death. At that time only the subtle consciousness of pure mind comes into use. When looking at something with eyes, there is a flood of consciousness in the mind. That consciousness is born by the strength of the eyes, not by the strength of the mind. Similarly, in the case of other external senses, one should also understand. As the capacity of the mind increases from within to reveal consciousness in subtlety, it becomes more worthy of liberation. Kundalini enhances this same ability. With the eyes closed at the time of Kundalini meditation, the doors of almost all external senses are closed. Still, with the power of yoga meditation, there is so much consciousness in the Kundalini being ignited in the mind, that is not even with the help of external senses. Such continuous practice of years brings the same consciousness in a calm, thoughtless mind without Kundalini. This is called enlightenment. Actually, mind is also a subtle form of external senses. A thoughtless mind is often called a soul.

Organism development as Kundalini development

In fact, Kundalini (neuronal energy) is evolving or rising up in the form of evolving organisms. Actually, Kundalini represents the mind itself. Kundalini is the highest level of mental thought. Therefore, we can measure the level of consciousness of the mind through the level of consciousness of Kundalini. Reverse is also true that’s the consciousness of Kundalini can be measured through the consciousness of mind.

Kundalini working requires the same neuronal energy that is required for brain or mind working. That neuronal energy is stimulated by prana energy or prana shakti that is generalized energy of whole body. So both are propelled by same fuel that’s why both are interconnected. But the main objective of creation is providing ultimate status to the organism. This is done by kundalini. It means that kundalini development is the primary goal of creation, not the brain development. Brain development is there itself unwillingly. It’s a after effect and even becomes a side effect if utilized in a negative way. Many old civilizations understood this fact very well and kept main focus on Kundalini in the form of various spiritual practices. Today, Kundalini happenings are increasing day by day because brain development of today’s era is also causing Kundalini development indirectly. Therefore, it’s best way to undertake Kundalini development and brain or world development together so as to get kundalini awakening in a shortest time possible. Karma yoga is also a good method for this.

Kundalini is the measure of the development of consciousness. Kundalini is in sleep in least conscious subject. Kundalini’s sleep means that the mind is asleep. It’s not called mindlessness because the consciousness of the mind never ends, it only becomes incoherent, that is, it falls asleep. At that time, there is darkness in the place of conscious mind. It is just like when a man is asleep, then his consciousness disappears, but it is still doing all the work that keeps the body alive. After enlightenment, Kundalini with higher consciousness is constantly dominating  in the mind, which we call samadhi. It can be called the closest stage of complete awakening of Kundalini. Between these two opposite ends most of the organisms are there. The bulb of his Kundalini consciousness sometimes burns, sometimes slows down, sometimes extinguishes.

The one who comes to hear about yoga, he hears that only Kundalini keeps on climbing in the form of different creatures. Among the lowest living organisms and plants, it remains dormant at the base. It’s also called Kundalini shakti or prana shakti. Actually, there too it’s always working in background without being experienced by organism to maintain body. It is distributed in whole body but it’s called residing in muladhar chakra because that’s the main place of it’s growth and nourishment. It’s like as if a man can wander everywhere in the world but he achieves his growth, nourishment and rest (sleep) mainly at it’s home. Uncouncious mind and muladhar chakra, both are said to be as similar and both being connected with the worst sentiments. Further added, kundalini starts it’s long journey from Muladhar Chakra only. Journey towards the light starts from the darkness only. In some of the less evolved organisms, it comes into a mildly awake state in the base chakra. These may be called bisexual or hermaphroditic. Probably at this stage, the soul fell from Sahasrara and fell asleep in the pit of Muladhara. That is why that organism was divided into yin or female and yang or male form, so that by attraction towards each other, the soul could ascend from muladhara to re-enter Sahasrara. Muladhar dominated lowest organisms have nothing to do outer energetic functions other than the elimination of waste body products. This is the work of muladhar chakra situated near anal opening. So their Kundalini energy is said to be concentrated in muladhar chakra. In the organisms that develop from it, it rises up to the Swadhisthana chakra. Here, sexual differentiation of organism occurs and it start feeling sexual desire with sexual attraction. It’s often seen that lower organisms reproduce at much higher rate and major part of their energy is consumed by this process. It provides wonderful force for kundalini or organism development. This force is still working continuously in today’s well developed human being too. In moderately developed organisms, kundalini enters the navel chakra. That’s why lower organisms keep on eating throughout day and night continuously. It comes into the heart chakra in a higher quality animal, probably in the cow and in a loving person. Possibly that’s why the cow appears as full of affection. Majority of digestive processes are carried out by microorganisms in cow, so it saves lot of energy. It brings down one’s negative energies existing in the form of high blood pressure, stress etc. down. That’s why people are spending thousands of dollars today to develop cowmunication (communication with cow). In primates like baboon, gorilla etc. the Kundalini energy further travels ahead to their arms or forelimbs, that’s why they maximally utilize their forelimb function. Likewise, in beautifully singing bird like cuckoo, Kundalini energy can be said to be concentrated in throat chakra. In intelligent animals with analytical skills like dolphins, it can be said to be coming up to agya chakra. It can come to Sahasrara chakra in human only that too with proper brain practice, because only he can awaken it and the place of awakening is sahasrar only. In the highest order human, it is fully awake in Sahasrara.

The seven chakras of Kundalini are in the form of seven worlds

The scriptures describe the seven worlds above earth. These seven lokas or abodes are in the form of seven chakras. The lowest abode is the Mooladhara Chakra, because the organisms at that level have the lowest consciousness. The level of consciousness increases by going into the realms or chakras above it. This level is highest in Sahasrara. Kundalini awakening means that the level of consciousness is reached at the of union of Shiva and Shakti, making it known as Shivaloka or Brahmaloka. By the way, seven dark abodes have been told even below the earth. In them also, the consciousness keeps falling downwards respectively. In these worlds, most of the demons are said to be living. This is because their level of consciousness has fallen so much that they continue to malign the gods, sages and other beings with higher consciousness. Earth has been considered equivalent to Muladhara Chakra. The abodes in the sky above are the high abodes or heaven, while below the earth are as the hell.

The upright standing of the man and the pit in the back is also an important link in the bio-development chain

I told in an old post how I had to keep my back straight and in a natural posture while sitting in my new car, because its legspace seemed a little low. This helped my muladhar energy to awaken my Kundalini through efficiently climbing up in the back. People can say that the man stood up straight to use the next two legs as a hand. But even primates like gorillas do so. Even the early humans used to do this. Their back is not straight, nor does it seem necessary to use hands. Then why the developed man’s back was straightened. This happened in order to make Kundalini easily and efficiently offered from the base to the brain. Kundalini is as subtle as the sky. Its nature is to rise upwards. That’s why at the time of awakening of the Kundalini, it seems that the Kundalini is flying upwards with speed and power. Then you can say why then a pit formed in the back in the direction of the navel. In fact, it acts like a pit of a roller coaster. It keeps sucking Kundalini energy from the base with the power of yogic inbreathing  and depositing it inside as voluminous storage. Then, while working or doing yoga, when a man bends forward, this stored lot of energy quickly runs upwards towards the brain after catching the velocity. A small pit is formed at the center of the neck, which is the vishuddhi chakra. It likewise pushes the energy upwards to brain by providing a Momentum to this Kundalini energy gathered on the Anahata Chakra with the power of yogic outbreathing. Likewise, swadhishthan chakra and muladhar chakra keeps sexual energy stored to help push it up through back during yoga.

The sexual drive is the biggest contributor to the development of life

In a bisexual organism, yin and yang were together in the same body. This means that it was a complete soul. Because they did not have their own separate desire for development, they were developed like other natural and lifeless objects like mountains, soil, celestial bodies. The pace of that development was natural and slow. Then along with the division of gender, yin-yang was also divided. There was majority of yang in the male category and yin in the female category. This division made the organism feel imperfect within itself. Probably at this stage, the incomplete soul was born. He started trying to gather Yin or Yang to be complete again as earlier. This led to the creation of Kama Bhava or sexual feeling. This created an intense attraction between the male category and the female category of organisms. This sexual sentiment is the biggest contributor to the development of life. Because it produces the most powerful non duality, with which Kundalini develops most strongly and rapidly. We have experientially proved in many posts that non duality, Kundalini and bliss tend to live together. This gave artificiality and fast pace to biological development. Even today, in the form of Tantric Kundalini yoga, it is helping man to make the final jump of the development chain to achieve the perfection or liberation. It combines Yin (shakti) residing at Mooladhara chakra with Yang (Shiva) residing at Sahasrar chakra. Yin is called Prakriti and Yang is called Purusha in Indian philosophy. Advaita bhava is produced by the union of yin-yang, which indirectly develops the kundalini. It is not that the attraction of yin-yang is only the attraction of men and women. It can be between any of the opposite expressions. Muladhara is a symbol of darkness, inferiority, ignorance, hatred, etc. all low emotions. In contrast, Sahasrara is a symbol of light, highness, knowledge, love, etc. all high emotions. That is why the simultaneous Kundalini meditation on these two chakras creates intense nonduality, due to which the Kundalini starts to shine in Sahasrara. The main function of sexual attraction is that by it the muladhara and the Sahasrara Chakra are refreshed and strengthened together.

Kundalini requires various gods that are in the form of molds of different personalities

Friends, I sometimes like a particular deity more, sometimes someone else. Long ago, I loved Goddess mother the most. Now I like Lord Shiva the most. Once when I went to visit Mumbai, I liked Lord Ganesha best. In Maharashtra, Ganesha is quite famous. It is clear that the God who exposes the Kundalini the most, that is the best as a deity. This means that the real joy lies in the Kundalini itself. The gods are helpful in exposing the Kundalini.

The form of a particular deity is a mold of the form of a particular personality

In fact, various deities exist as signs of different personalities. Lord Shiva is a tantric, cool, nondual, naive, self-possessed, nature-lover, quick-tempered and quickly happy, detached and high-spirited self-proudful personality. If anyone likes such a personality and a man with such personality, then he can get benefit from Shiva worship. By meditating on Shiva, the image of a person with such personality appears in his mind temple, and then gradually takes the form of Kundalini. In life, no one can be physically consistent with anyone. But one can always remain mentally consistent. To maintain the mental picture of a lover, a god like him is chosen. The deity is worshiped in the form of an idol, picture, statue, etc. This keeps the mental picture of the lover strong. Many times the reverse also happens. The person by whom a deity is worshiped begins to fall in love with the man with that personality of deity. This then leads to the development of Kundalini. In the old age, Yogis also used to make the idol of the empty deity as Kundalini without any loving person. But nowadays it seems impossible. Because the present-day society is individual oriented rather than Devata or idol oriented. Similarly, one may find the personality of Lord Ganesha interesting, while one that of mother Kali. Gods exist according to everyone’s interest. As far as my own experience is concerned, I had a personality like Shiva as my Kundalini. Once upon a time due to some divine event, my inclination towards Lord Shiva became apparent. I felt completely devoted to him, losing myself from all other sides. This inspired me to unknowingly have Tantra Yoga with various favorable circumstances, which quickly awakened my Kundalini.

Gods always exist as a feeling or sentiment

For example, if a particular tantric born in some country or era or say Bhairavnath was considered the god of the tantra, then most people today would not have reverence for him. This would have been because Bhairavnath was a real man, who was born in very old times, and is not today. The life-circumstances of his time were completely different from those of today’s life. In this way, the tantric sentiment that was popping up in the minds of people would have perished by worshipping Baba Bhairav. But in contrast, Lord Shiva is eternal. He is the same today, as he was thousands of years ago. He will always remain the same. In fact, he is not a mortal person, but as a personality or sentiment. There have been countless people who cover his personality. Therefore, trust and interst always prevail over him. It keeps trust on Tantra and interest in it.

Gods always give strength to Kundalini

If a deity is interesting or not, he always gives Kundalini benefits. The deity is really like a mixture of living (Yang) and non-living (Yin). He has the quality of a living as doing all the activities like a human being. The qualities of the inanimate are in them in the form of inanimate objects such as air, water, fire, sun etc. A mixture of living and non-living in a deity is possible only if the deity is living and unattached. All the activities of the deity calm down in his mind through Advaita or non duality and Anasakti or detachment. However they are carried out from outside by the deity. If the deity were fully alive, he would be visible like a living human, and would be immersed in the bondage of the world. If the deity had been completely lifeless, it would have been dead, which could never run the world at all. Moreover, his worship would have been a loss rather than a gain. It is because of this Advaita form of the deity that Advaita prevails in the mind of man, due to which the Kundalini is exposed. That is why it has been written in the Vedas and scriptures that worshiping the deity brings salvation along with the comforts of the world.
