Kundalini Yoga makes Piharava means husband return home

Friends, just look at the Raga Megh based raga named “Piharva Azhu Na Aaye”. In this the woman is waiting for her husband to return. She says feeling scared. Dark clouds have gathered, lightning is flashing. Rain drops have also started falling. The husband has settled abroad and has not yet returned. This is a spiritual story only, not a physical one. Here the wife is the soul, the husband is God. God is far away i.e. abroad. Sometimes both were together, but with time they separated. Black clouds mean darkness of ignorance looks scary. If lightning is flashing, it means that sadness producing thoughts like lust, anger, etc. are running in the mind. Just as lightning can kill a man, so too can unresolved lust. Meaning that lust can cause a man to be reborn. And it is self-evident that a living being will be reborn only if it first dies. Rain drops have started falling, which means tears have also started falling from the eyes due to sadness.

This is the real movement and picture of the soul, which is depicted in the raga. This is a scientific fact, not a fantasy. This is spiritual psychology. This is also similar in the physical life too. In fact, when the head of the family reaches home, there is light all around. Dark defects like disappointment, sadness, hopelessness, lack etc. disappear for some time. Meaning, ragas have double meanings. Those who make and sing them must be no less than saints. On similar lines, Kundalini Yogis also strengthen the picture of Guru, God etc. in their mind, which is like the hope of husband coming home. While remembered, he may even return home in the form of Kundalini awakening. Further, it depends on the kundalini yogi whether he is able to keep him tied to the home through regular sadhana or gives him a chance to go far away and abroad again through uncontrolled behavior.

Similarly, “Aajhun na aaye piya, aali (friend) mori, woh na aaye, tum/piya bin Raina katat na, aajhun na aaye piya”. This raga is in Khayal, sung by Adrija Basu. This raga is about a quarter of an hour long, and the same lyrics are used with ups and downs throughout the raga. In the last five-ten minutes, there are some words of Shiva praise like “Salalal Hilat/kilat Ganga, Jatajut Vyal (Serpent)”. This also proves that most of the ragas are based on the same theme of Kundalini Yoga. Very beautifully sung raga. In this, every effort has been made to prolong a single breath and to give deep ups and downs to the note associated with it.

Kundalini Yoga with Ragas

Friends, classical music based raga is an excellent example of ancient Indian tradition. and Kundalini Yoga. Both make the body and mind stress free. Controls blood pressure. Helps in concentrating. Actually, the basis of Ragas is Kundalini Yoga. Like “Wake up, wake up Mohan Pyare, Bhor Bhai, let your darshan come to Jogi Jangam, Jati, Niranjan” etc. Here dawn or Bhor means the growth of abundant sattoguna within the mind of Kundalini Yogi. Mohan Here is the Kundalini meditation picture. Mohan’s awakening here is Kundalini awakening. Ragas help in holding the breath for a longer period during yoga because in a raga, the same tune is prolonged by holding the breath for a longer period. In common songs, the lyrics and tune keep changing frequently due to which the attention becomes difficult to concentrate. People say that melody brings sleep. Actually, ragas calm the mind. In times of mental fatigue and restlessness, by listening to a raga, the breathing becomes deep and slow due to which the mind feels completely healthy. When the practice of yoga helps in singing a raga, then why can’t listening and singing a raga help in yoga, because in both the practice of breathing i.e. Pranayama contributes. Listening to the raga according to the time of the day freshens the mood. One such app that I like is Ragya. I am not doing any promotion. In this, ragas keep playing continuously according to the time of the day and innumerable ragas come in change. Earlier I used Saregama app but due to some bug in it, it forgot my 3 months subscription, which could not be recovered even from customer care. During yoga, listening to a raga does not reveal the thoughts suppressed in the mind because the power of the brain remains engaged in listening to the raga. Perhaps those suppressed thoughts keep getting destroyed, but without erupting outside, that is, silently. Perhaps what we consider expression of thoughts to be the process of destruction of thoughts, may actually be a way of keeping thoughts alive. How can a habit be destroyed by repeating it again and again? A habit will be destroyed only if it is not repeated. Similarly, how will the above thought be destroyed by repeatedly expressing it? It will be destroyed only when the power of that thought is used in some other good thought or feeling. Perhaps this is what happens with ragas. The power generated by Yoga does not get absorbed in the dormant thoughts but gets absorbed in the raga music, due to which the thoughts and feelings associated with spiritual sanskars get strengthened, and the useless and suppressed thoughts of the previous life get destroyed. This is the middle way of manifesting the dormant thoughts in a light form and giving their power to the new Kundalini thought, so that the power of those thoughts can also be extracted and they cannot become material or material like after being expressed violently. If dormant thoughts do not emerge from the mind at all, their power will not be extracted. Similarly, even if they emerge too much, there will be no power left to draw from them. The basic theme of ragas is spiritual or yogic. Along with Ragas are in Surtaal means they are in rhythm. Therefore they are good for the mind. Among these, natural and simple instruments with beautiful sound like drum, dholki, sitar, flute etc. sound very dear to the ears. Which are better than the so-called modern deafening musical instruments, especially for yogis and blissful lifestyle. I find ragas tantric. Just as through Kundalini Tantra the so-called trivial worldliness is transformed into sublime spiritual practice, similarly through Raga too. The love relationship between a lover and his or her beloved usually seems to be physical, but when it is connected to a raga, it becomes sophisticated and spiritual. Similarly, take any worldly subject, Raga passion purifies it. Therefore, if we call Raaga musical laundering, it would not be an exaggeration. If we observe its basic principle in depth, only Kundalini is visible. Ragas improve breathing and body movements, because both are interconnected. Due to this, the Kundalini Shakti becomes active, due to which the Kundalini picture starts residing continuously in the mind. Due to this, the Kundalini picture remains connected with all thoughts, feelings and actions. Due to this, even after being immersed in a world full of duality, a feeling of perfect non-duality remains in the mind. This non-dual feeling purifies everyone. One special thing about ragas is that even if their words or lyrics are not understood, they still provide yoga benefits through their way of speaking and music. Anyway, there are not many words in them. Even on a single sentence or word, an entire raga of one hour is formed. For example, “Saavre se man laga, mori mae”, is a forty-five minute Khayal-based melodious raga on two or four lyrics like this.  It seems that ragas are emotion based rather than word based.

Kundalini Yoga is the background music of life

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

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

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

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

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

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

Kundalini development with flute yoga;  Flute as the most important instrument of the Corona period


Friends, every week the corona virus attracts attention.  I feel like writing about this.  Perhaps happy with this, it goes back to forgive the sins of the world.  hope is life.

Importance of music in the Corona era


I felt like imprisoned in the house because of the lock-down.  The songs were also heard a lot.  I had seen a lot of films too.  Films like Bhootiya Atma/ghostly or spirit related dominated.  Nowadays these films are looking good.  One day I was talking to my family about the artists who were refining their art, especially musical art, during the lock-down.  Many people even started learning music by themselves.  Then my attention went towards the flute kept in the store room which had been lying there for some years.  What could have been a better gift than that at that time, because at that time, due to the lock down, the movement of all items other than the essentials was banned.  I used to play flute occasionally from college time.  It had been 20 years of befriending the flute.  If an art has been used even once, it keeps growing with time, of course, then why not stop using it.  That is why in olden days, exposure of all disciplines and arts was given in childhood.  By playing the flute, my blurred Kundalini started to shine again.


Flute and kundalini’s interrelationship;  Flute yoga


Playing the flute causes pranayama or breathing exercise.  While inbreathing, the Kundalini rises upward in the spinal cord, and while exhaling it descends downward through the front chakras.  In this way the Kundalini starts circling the whole body.  This makes all the chakras active.  Deep inbreath is filled with meditation of Kundalini.  Then by slowly exhaling with meditation, sweet melodies of the flute are also played, and Kundalini also descends through the front chakras.  Together, the power of the flute’s voice is also felt by the Kundalini.  Thus Kundalini starts shining through all this.  After that the man feels as if he has done Kundalini Yoga.  Flute yoga is also unique Kundalini yoga.  With this, both body and mind become absolutely healthy.


The flute is the best type of instrument


The flute is the cheapest and universal instrument.  It can be made easily from bamboo plant anywhere and anytime.  It does not require any science or technology.  There is also little use of resources in making it.  Everything in it is natural, nothing is synthetic.  Because of this flutes are environment friendly.  Being small in size, it can be easily placed anywhere.  Due to these qualities, flute is evergreen and eternal instrument.  Probably that is why Lord Krishna was particularly fond of flute.  Many people avoid playing the flute in the house thinking that it should be played in the open.  I used to think the same, but my illusion was broken 20 years ago when I saw people living in wild countryside playing flutes inside their living rooms.  No matter how big a lock down or emergency comes into force, the flute will always keep us entertained, and keep the man on the path of spirituality.  Therefore every house must have at least one bamboo flute.

kundalini with music

Everyone knows the beneficial effects of music. Not only is music beneficial physically, it also has a major contribution spiritually. Kundalini and music have a very close relationship.

Development of witnessing through music

With music, different types of new-old thoughts start emerging in our mind in the form of pictures. The special thing in this is that there is a sense of witnessing or detachment with those pictures. They seem like pictures of some clear and blissful dreams. This increases the cleanliness of the mind, and brings bliss. This is the main reason for enjoying music. In fact, music does not give pleasure directly, but indirectly through those pictures. There is one more thing. The music that we find more interesting gives us more pleasure. In fact, that music produces a large amount of clear mental images, and a large amount of witnessing in them. That is why one person finds boring music to be very interesting to another. If Anand/bliss were in music, then any music would have appealed to everyone. It also happens that sometimes some music sounds interesting, sometimes another. The choice of music also varies according to the mood of the mind. This means that music does not have its own bliss, but it provides pleasure only through the emotions of the mind. It is known to all that pleasure is produced from the feelings of mind along with the feelings of detachment or witnessing.

Development of Kundalini with music

As mentioned above, music produces witnessing. Sakshibhava/witnessing is another name for Advaita/non-duality. It is also often seen that Advaita and Kundalini try to live together. Kundalini emerges on the mental frame from non-duality, and the thought of ​​Kundalini creates Advaita. This proves itself that Kundalini is developed by music. When the Kundalini continues to come to the mind repeatedly from music, then it will surely develop continuously.

Premyogi vajra’s own experience about Kundalini

The music of radio, cassette player etc. was often played in his house. While travelling here and there, he used to hear the songs inside the bus. With those songs, a clear Kundalini glowed in his mind. With romantic songs, Kundalini rose in his mind as a tantric girlfriend, while in serious and spiritual songs, kundalini used to be as a guru. Most of the time, the Kundalini of the consort was strong, because she had sexual attraction, and he himself was also in his youth. The second reason for this was that the Kundalini of Guru’s form was not awakened in his mind at that time.

After many years, when the Kundalini of Guru’s form was awakened in his mind, she started to become more influential. Then the Kundalini as a girlfriend started falling in front of that. At the time of all types of music in front of him, only the Kundalini of the Guru appeared in his mind. Kundalini in the form of Devirani/consort also occasionally appeared, albeit very lightly. This trend continued like this, and the Kundalini in the form of Guru became progressively stronger. The reason for this is also that he used to meditate on the Kundalini in the form of Guru in the morning-evening (one hourly twice) Kundalini Yoga Sadhana. Encouraged by this, he used to listen to differently colorful songs on the Bluetooth portable speaker day and night through the Internet. This gave him many more benefits. Keep in mind that listening to music at high volume continuously for a long time can permanently damage the ears.

Different chakras are awakened by different tones of music

This is often said in yoga discussion, and it is natural. Each tone produces an emotion. The emotion generated by a particular tone correspond to the emotion associated with the Muladhara chakra, the sentiment produced from someone else tone matches to that of swadhishtnana chakra, and that from any other tone affects heart chakra, and so on. Children’s songs have the greatest effect on the heart chakra; romantic songs have the most effect on sexual chakras. In fact, Kundalini is being formed in the mind, no matter which chakra is active. That is why it is said that all types of music are beneficial. Similarly, there is music in every sound of creation, because all kinds of sounds excite Kundalini.

Every sensation helps to express kundalini over it accompanied with witnessing of the thoughts. Hearing is one of the purest and powerful sensations.

Listening to music with Kundalini Yoga is a wonderful experience. For example, along with other sensations in the upper part, the sensation of hearing also focuses on the heart chakra. Through the bandhas/locks, the sensations / Prana of the body below heart also are focused on the heart chakra, coming up. Upward and downward sensations collide and create a subtle explosion, which causes the Kundalini to glow on the heart chakra, and becomes very clear, creating bliss. Similarly, for the Sahasrara Chakra, the sensations going from the bottom up / Prana also take up the auditory sensation, and brighten the Kundalini on Sahasrara. Similarly, in the case of other chakra, one should understand the similar pattern.

Music in spirituality has to move me. It has to transport me to different realms. It has to activate and ignite my emotional body.
