Kundalini science can make the Ravana-story somewhat clear

Friends, there is a story in Shivpuran that once an arrogant demon named Ravana started worshiping Shiva devotedly on Mount Kailash. When Lord Shiva was not pleased with this, he took another solution. He made a fine pit in the land full of trees to the south of the Himalayan Mountains, lit a fire in it, installed Lord Shiva near it and started performing yajana havan. He started doing penance in three ways – sitting amidst the five fires during the summer season, sitting on a platform during the rainy season and staying under water during the winter season. In this way, he performed severe penance, yet Lord Shiva, who was fierce for the evil spirits, was not pleased. Then Ravana cut off his head and started worshiping Shiva. In this way he cut off his nine heads one by one. Then Sadashiv became happy and appeared before him when only one head remained. Shiva healed his heads as before and gave him the desired results and immense strength. Then Ravana folded his hands and said to Shiva, “Swami, please come with me to Lankapuri, I am under your protection.” Due to this, Lord Shiva, feeling distressed, told him with an upset heart that of course he should take away his best Shivalinga, but wherever he placed it on the ground, it would be established there. But on the way, Ravana felt like having an urge to pee. He handed it over to the Gop standing nearby and went slightly away to pee. The Gop could not bear its weight for long, so he kept it there on the ground. In this way, that Linga, which originated from Vajrasara, became established there, which can remove sins and fulfill all the desires just by seeing it. Its name was Vaidyanatheshwar who is the giver of enjoyment and salvation and the destroyer of all sins. Ravana then went home. All the gods gathered together and worshiped and established that Linga properly. All the gods and sages got worried and went to Narad and said that this evil Ravana is already troubling them a lot, after getting the boon of Shiva, he will make them more sad. Narad went to Ravana’s house to help them and praised him falsely. When asked by Narada, Ravana proudly narrated the entire incident of Shiva’s boon, how he kept increasing his ferocity in the way of pleasing Shiva and when he started cutting off his tenth and last head, Shiva appeared and stopped him and like a physician attached all his heads as before. Along with this he was also blessed with immense strength. Ravana then said that now he has come home to conquer the three worlds after worshiping the Jyotirlinga. Narad laughingly told him that Shiva is vicious, he lives casually under the influence of cannabis, what lie he can’t tell, so he should not believe him. Saying this, he instigated Ravana to uproot Kailash and said that this would test Shiva’s boon. Doing the same, he lifted Mount Kailash in his arms. Due to this, everything situated on Kailash started shaking and everything started colliding with each other and falling. When Shiva surprisingly asked Parvati about this, she sarcastically replied that his best disciple Ravana was doing all that. Due to this, Shiva considered Ravana ungrateful and egoistic of his power and cursed him that soon someone would be born there who could take away the pride of his arms. Narad heard the curse of Shiva and Ravana also kept Kailash down and went home happily. Thus, accepting Shiva’s boon as true, Ravana controlled the entire world with his power. At that time, there was no enemy of Ravana who could match him with the powerful divine weapon obtained by the order of Shiva.

Psychological explanation of the above myth

Ravana means one who makes one cry. A person who is full of mental defects makes the world cry, not laugh. Meaning that he can only give sorrow to everyone, not happiness. When people oppose him, he is unable to compete with them. Therefore, he meditates on Shiva in the brain or Sahasrara called black magic in common language to gain strength to fight with them. Guilty people often like Shiva, because they see Shiva as full of faults like them. How can Shiva be pleased with simple meditation? Shiva demands complete dedication towards himself. Whether you consider it as Shiva’s wish or the principle of awakening that only by inculcating the only image of Shiva or any other single image in the mind fully, one gets awakened. Right now Ravana had many faulty thoughts inside him, that is why he was not able to concentrate properly on the image of Shiva. Then, with the inspiration of Shiva, he tried the second solution i.e. leftist tantric solution. The second one can be completely different from the first one. If the first was a pure Vaishnav, the second automatically proved to be a Tantrik. It is not the other that gives the sense of number, but the one that gives the sense of otherness or oppositeness. If the Himalayas are the brain or Sahasrara and are considered to be in the north, because the geographical location of the Himalayas is also in the north of India, then its southern part is the ocean or Mooladhar region. The pit dug in that area is the muladhara chakra. The powerful deity named Gaddha of a particular caste group is probably created by the power of Mooladhar, that is why its name is Gaddha or pit. It is notorious for witchcraft, and black exploits. It is said that no one, only Hanuman can protect from him. Perhaps Hanuman’s sattvik power would have defeated his tamasic power. Ravana established fire in that pit, which means he concentrated his life force there through breathing pranayama. The establishment of Lord Shiva near it means that the idol or picture of Lord Shiva was meditated there. Havan means burning the glucose, fat etc. stored in one’s body in the fire of life force or prana, which generates power or energy. At the time of emergency, Kundalini Shakti located at Muladhar inside body is required, due to which it becomes active. That is why it has been said to bear the heat of five types of fire in summer, to sit on a platform in the rainy season and to practice meditation by being submerged in water till neck in the winter season. It is only when Muladhar becomes active that lovers remember each other in times of sorrow or distress. That is why loving couples like to stay together even in good times and at the time of death. That is why penance and control over luxuries are considered great in most religions. Yet Shiva did not appear before Ravana because he was an evil spirit and was full of the defects of the senses. The conscience is made up of four types of subtle organs, mind, intellect, chitta and ego. Similarly, the senses are made up of five subtle organs or elements, eyes, ears, smell, skin and genitals. Ravana disabled all these nine organs one by one. This is called cutting off his nine heads by Ravana. Because each organ provides a different type of knowledge, each organ has been considered a separate head in the story. When he started preparing to cut off the last tenth head i.e. his real head on which all the other heads are supported, Shiva appeared. This means that he had become so weak while doing sadhana that he was close to dying, when he got awakening. When a man is in a “do or die” situation, he has the maximum chances of success. Then Shiva restored his head and gave him the desired boon, meaning Ravana became eligible to return to the worldly life again. In worldly life, all the senses and also the ego are needed. Anyway, perhaps Ravana had only got a momentary glimpse of awakening, due to which he became exactly the same as before immediately without any sudden transformation. Whatever a man can desire or achieve, the ultimate limit is awakening. When one gets awakening, it feels as if he has got everything. This is Shiva’s way of giving him the desired results and immense strength. Strength arises from weapons and the attainment of power. All these also come under the attainment of awakening. He who has something left to achieve is afraid. Zero fear means infinite strength, because strength exists only to attain fearlessness. Ravana wanted to take the power awakened in Muladhar to his favorite chakra. It is said that he wanted to take his Shivalinga to golden Lanka. Perhaps it is some special chakra or point of the body, which is not known to us, and by awakening which one gets incomparable demonic power. That’s why Shiva felt sad because he could misuse it. Gopa means cowherd watchman, that is, one who grazes cows, and cow means senses. Ravana could take that semen power only to a nearby chakra and then he went for peeing. Due to this, the sense organ related to Muladhara became relaxed, and the Shakti remained stuck there, because it is from this sense that Shakti gets the strength to climb up. Where the power got stuck on a particular chakra in the middle, that too appears to be an unknown chakra. It was named Vaidyanatheshwar Linga. It is said in the story that that Linga was made of Vajrasara. This also indicates that it was sublimated semen. Vajra is formed from the spinal cord, hence its essence is the power passing through the sushumna inside the spinal cord, which kills the Vritrasur demon or ignorance by striking the Vajra in the form of awakening. That sensory power is formed in Muladhar, in the formation of which semen plays a major role. Because Shiva, like a doctor aka vaidya, had joined all the heads of Ravana, that is why that Linga was named Vaidyanatheshwar. All the gods came to worship it. This gives an indication that no matter where this Linga Shakti was located, it had not reached the area of the brain that could be experienced by the soul. It is only over this area that the living beings themselves have complete control, not the gods. Meaning, the will of the living being operates in this area. All other parts of the body are under the control of the gods. Like we can move around as per our wish, we can think, we can work, but we cannot digest food, our heart cannot beat on our will, and we cannot do countless other body functions. Perhaps this voluntary area is Sahasrara itself. If Shakti had reached there, Ravana would have caused so much harm to the world. The mind itself is Narad Muni. After ravana’s momentary awakening or shiva darshan whatever, he realized that now he can trouble the gods to his heart’s content. This is what the gods have to complain to Narad Muni. Encouraged by this, Ravana’s mind thought that why not go to Sahasrara once again and see whether he has really got power. He was engrossed in the devotion of Shiva and was looking only at Shiva in everything, although of course under the influence of selfishness. Suddenly, when he went to Sahasrara, his flow of devotion to Shiva stopped, because there is an atmosphere of non-dualism in Sahasrar, and where there is non-dualism, there is no devotion. Devotion happens only in duality. Therefore for a short time the worldly objects related to the devotion of Shiva fell away. It is said that everything turned upside down in Kailash. One should know Kailash here with a mind filled with devotion and as concerned to raising it up, it should be Sahasrara area. One who lives too much in non-duality does not know the loving brotherhood full of worldly duality. Due to this, ego can also develop in him. It is natural that he has many enemies, one of whom may become his death. This is said to be cursed by Shiva after getting angry. This made the gods happy, because if everyone became completely monistic then how would the world created by them be able to function. It is heard that erotic paintings were made in the ancient temples and caves of India because of the wave of monism. People were leaving their homes and going to the forest. Now I don’t know how correct this analysis is, but it seems necessary to make the story scientifically fit into Kundalini Yoga and to remember it.

What else can we call the darshan aka visualisation of Shiva other than awakening of Kundalini, because both are supreme achievements. There can be only one supreme achievement, not two, hence both are one and the same. It is also possible that darshan of gods is such a deep state of meditation in which the gods are clearly visible and one can also talk to them. Of course, this should be a little below the highest level of Kundalini awakening. Because if Devdarshan itself was Kundalini awakening, then at least one demon would have gained wisdom from Devdarshan, but it appears that no one got it, on the contrary, whatever was there also went away due to the arrogance of power. Secondly, in the state of Kundalini awakening, one cannot ask for anything because by feeling complete unity with the Supreme, a person also feels his own completeness, then what is left to ask for. On the other hand, during Devdarshan, the demons used to place a long and detailed demand letter in front of the deity. Well, even if both experiences are similar, this story also refutes the belief that an awakened person can do no wrong. In fact, awakening inspires to do good work, but there is no guarantee that good work will be done. It is like someone getting the company of a great person but ignoring his inspiration and not doing any great work. Culture, mentality and practices are responsible for good or bad work. This story also shows that just as good deeds are done by power, bad deeds are also done by power. The powerless cannot do anything. Mischievous people have a lot of power. If their power is channeled in the right direction they can awaken most quickly. Perhaps the same happened with Ravana also. He was a mischievous person but with the desire for more power, he started worshiping Shiva. The mind of mischievous people wants immediate results, just as a thief cannot wait to earn money, so he steals something to get it immediately. Similarly, when Ravana did not see any benefit from worship, he adopted another method. Meaning, when did the vicious mind start liking the simple, slow, idealistic and ordinary way like the general public? Therefore he adopted a crooked, sharp, idealless and extraordinary Tantric method. Perhaps due to the success of Tantric method, he might have been under the illusion that he is expert in sexual activity and can do it with anyone without any restrictions. Due to this confusion, he might have violated the modesty of Rambha Apsara, Kubera’s future daughter-in-law, and under this confusion, he might have abducted Sita, due to which he was killed by Sitapati Ram.

I think Ravana’s own home was Sahasrara Chakra, because it is believed that the soul resides there. That is why Lanka is called the city of gold. In Chinese Tao philosophy, the Golden Flower is felt on the Ajna Chakra under Golden Flower Meditation. Ajna Chakra can also be a golden Lanka because an egoistic man like Ravana is not going to live in a divine place like Sahasrara, certainly he can live in a materialistic and rationalistic Ajna Chakra. There is a mythological story that a tunnel like a lotus stem used to go from Lanka to the underworld. This suggests that Lanka was agya chakra connected by nadi to Muladhara, as Muladhara is often referred to as Patala. Lanka has been described as lying between Trikuta Parvat meaning between three mountain peaks. If one peak is considered to be the left brow bone, the second peak is considered to be the right brow bone and the third is considered to be the nose bone, then Lanka appears to be Ajna Chakra.

Shiva knew that Ravana was evil by nature, hence if his intelligence got the brilliance of Shivalinga then he would become more evil. It is also possible that Sahasrara was his home, but he misused its divinity. This means that it is not necessary that by visiting Sahasrara a man himself becomes a gentleman. He will still have to try. The heads of many particular religions probably awakened the Sahasrara and always resided in it, but they carried out endless massacres in the name of religion and God, which continues till today. If such people get derailed then they can become the embodiment of death. No one can do any harm to them because they themselves are situated at the supreme position. Probably that is why theology would have been kept secret in ancient times. Now even the nuclear bomb is no longer a secret, what to fear now? I also feel that those who try forcefully for awakening through Tantra etc., get only momentary or partial awakening, like Ravana got, not complete awakening. Ravana was seeking the same complete awakening from Shiva, who is said to have wanted to keep the Shivalinga permanently in his house. But Shiva did not allow this to happen considering him as unauthorized. Meaning, before becoming awakened one has to become human.

This story can also be given a little more twist. Ravana is ego only. The tenth head was the ego form itself. An attempt to cut it meant he had become very weak and was about to die when Shiva appeared. Meaning, if the ego becomes zero, the person will definitely die, then who will attain awakening and how? Giving darshan by Shiva means the remaining ego gets merged into Shiva, not destroyed. Ravana’s Lanka is also Mooladhara, as it is in the middle of the ocean, and in most stories Mooladhara is shown as the ocean. The ten senses of Ravana steal the Shakti as Sita and carry that to muladhara as Lanka. Meaning that man wanders in worldly affairs through ten senses. Due to this, the pictures of the world become powerful in his mind. These come into expressed form and called as expressed shakti or dancing goddess, and then soon get buried and registered in the subconscious mind in latent form. This is where the power in the form of Sita has to go to the muladhara chakra in the form of Lanka. Now the readers will say that earlier Ajna Chakra was called Lanka, and now they are calling it as Muladhar Chakra. There is no contradiction in this, because Muladhara and Ajna Chakra are directly connected.

There can also be a doubt that earlier the mind was called Brahma, and now it is called Narad Muni. There is no contradiction in this either. Narada Muni is the son of Brahma, meaning only a small part of the entire mind in the form of Brahma is the messenger mind in the form of Narada.

Kundalini Shakti gets activated by entering the pit with the wooden fish and worshiping Shiva there

Salutations to Shiva Salutations to Guru Shiva is the Guru Guru is Shiva

Friends, in a beautiful country called Nishadha, in a family of Kshatriyas, a son named Veersen who was Mahasen was born and who was very dear to Shiva. Veersen performed severe penance for 12 years while worshiping Lord Shiva. Then Shiva became pleased and told the same grown up king that he was making a fish out of wood, applying Ranga paste on it and enriching it with Yogamaya and giving it to him. Taking it, he should immediately sail towards that hole while sitting in the boat. Then reaching there enter the hole made by him and worship Nageshwar and get Pashupatastra from him and destroy these major demons like Daruki etc. Shiva again said, “With the effect of my darshan aka visualisation, you will not face any kind of shortage. By that time, Parvati’s boon will also be completed, due to which the other Maleccha-form aka dirty form people there will also become virtuous. Then Shiva disappeared.” In this way Lord Nageshwar Dev, in the form of Linga, the lord of lights, was born. He is the one who always fulfills all the wishes of the three worlds.

Scientific analysis of the above myth

The word Nishadha is derived from the word prohibition. That country where there is prohibition of ugly or ignorant sexual conduct, prohibition of violation of Vedas, prohibition of indecency, prohibition of indolence, prohibition of misdeeds etc. Every man is the king of his body form country. Mahasen literally meaning great army means one with a huge army. Meaning, he is a well-known, famous and respected person in the world or his society, who has a crowd of people following him. Veersen means the man in that army of the world, who bravely faces problems and does not retreat from the Vedic path of humanity. He was also proficient in meditation. This means that he was deeply in love with someone. Love can be with Shiva, any other god, guru, girlfriend or anyone. That is why he is called a devotee of Shiva because Shiva is a symbol of meditation and love. There are 12 chakras in the body. On those chakras he meditated on Kundalini or Shiva form. If the sadhana of one chakra is considered to be for one year, then there are 12 chakras in 12 years. Man keeps developing like this since birth. For some years after birth man remains in the darkness of ignorance of Muladhara Chakra. Then when adolescence comes, due to hormonal changes, he comes to Swadhisthana Chakra. Due to increase in strength and increase in love during youth, he comes to Manipur Chakra and Anahata Chakra respectively. By developing expertise in love and worldly affairs, he also becomes adept in conversation and negotiations. It can be said that his consciousness reaches the level of Vishuddhi Chakra. Then to get employment or success in business he has to use his intelligence a lot. With that he comes to Ajna Chakra. By becoming proficient in his professional matters, he becomes certain about his earning, and so getting some worldly relief he starts trying for his liberation through the practice of spirituality etc. Due to this his consciousness comes into Sahasrara Chakra. Actually, if a man gets the right environment, he can awaken his Kundalini at just the age of 17-18 years. But in this story we are talking about Satyayug aka truth age, hence 12 years have been written. At that time, child marriage was probably prevalent, which would have taken place till the age of 12-13 years. That is why marriage is considered to be the stage of Sahasrar awakening, because through this, Sahasrar gets direct and tremendous power from Muladhar. This is also clear from the entire story, in which after the completion of twelve years of sadhana, he is asked to put the fish in a hole. By thinking a little deeply, its meaning becomes clear on its own. Shiva has created the body of all of us and also of King Veersen. Meaning, Shiva himself has created all the body parts, which also includes the fish-shaped genitalia. Science also believes that wooden fish means wood is also a biological substance like flesh, and both are components of living beings. The hormonal system in the body and the stimulation generated by it which causes stiffness in it, all this is also a system created by God Shiva. Ranga is called tin metal. It is moderately hard, not as much as iron, and not as little as loose flesh or wood. Similarly, the sexual cavity in the body is also created by Shiva. As far as the fish enters the hole, the hole should be considered finished there. The boat is left behind. A fish with Maya means it has divine sexual sensibility, which can fascinate anyone. Probably that is the crest of the organ, the rest of the part has been called boat. Now the place where the hole ends should be considered as the floor of the pit just as described in case of Mooladhar. It falls at almost the same place between the two organs, where the location of Muladhar Chakra has been mentioned in the yoga scriptures. To me, this seems to be the real muladhara, because this is it provides energy. The rest of the details seem symbolic or close to it, not real. There is no dark pit outside where the position of the Muladhara Chakra point is shown. The dark pit is inside in its line. However, as the plexuses of intense genital sensations are located inside, some of their effects are also felt externally. Well, meditating on Nageshwar Linga in that hole means meditating the meditation picture of Nageshwar Shiva on the Linga. This is a tantric practice of the highest order called Meditation at Tip. The term naga aka serpent also indicates the perineum and its associated structures. Because all these structures have been built by Lord Shiva for his attainment, hence one of his names is Nageshwar. By worshiping Shiva there, one will get Pashupat weapon, which means one will get the power to uncover the demonic thoughts buried in the pit of subconscious mind. Due to this, the main demons like Daruk etc. will be destroyed, meaning the main thoughts of the intellect and mind will come out and merge into the real void soul. These are the main obstacles in awakening. Countless other small thoughts continue to dissolve even after awakening, throughout life. Darshan of Shiva means means awakening after which there is no shortage of anything. The people of the world also have cyclic pattern of behaviour like the ages. After the environment like Kaliyug, they create an environment like Satyayug. They all are also present in the brain forest of the meditating man as everything is inside by default. With the help of their good deeds, it becomes easier to kill the demons. Means it becomes easier if such favorable conditions continue to prevail. Reading this story, it does not seem at all that the sages did not experience sexual pleasure, as is often seen in common belief. On the contrary, it seems that only after being completely fulfilled in the householder state, they were able to write all this for the good of the world in the later ascetic states like Vanaprastha and Sannyasa.

Kundalini Yoga consuming surplus tantric power

Friends, there is a story in the scriptures mainly the Shivapuran that once Devraj Indra along with Lord Brahma and other gods left his house with the desire to go to Kailash and have the darshan of Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva came to know about this because he is trikaldarshi or all time viewer. He thought of testing him. He disguised himself as an Avadhoot or badly posed renunciate type with matted hair and stood in his way. Devraj Indra asked him who he was, and asked him to leave the path. Also asked about the here about of Shiva if he was at Kailash or not. But he did not answer. He was asked again and again, yet he did not answer. At last, in anger, Indra fired his deadly weapon Vajra at him. At the same time Shiva came into his true form so that the vajra could not do any harm to him. Lord Shiva was very angry at Indra and was about to kill him when Brahma fell at his feet and started placating him. Due to this Shiva felt pity on him. Shiva asked him where he should vent his anger. Once the anger of a Purnayogi or accomplished yogi comes out, it never returns. Brahma asked him to pour that anger into the sea. From it the demon Jalandhar was born from the sea.

Spiritual analysis of the above story

Shiva means the awakened one here. Indra here means ordinary Tantrik or ordinary Panchamkari. The power obtained by him from simple tantra is not used for Kundalini meditation, but for the growth of worldly life. It also includes Kali Tantrasiddhis or black magic like Maran, Taran etc. Probably the use of Marana or killing Shakti by Indra has been called Vajraprahar, because like awakening, the basic source of such tantric powers also seems to be the Vajrashakti or Sushumna Shakti passing through the spinal cord. There seems no other way to attain supernatural power in the body than this. But it does not harm a real Tantra Yogi in the same way as fireflies cannot harm a lamp, on the contrary they can burn themselves. Sometimes, if many fireflies gather, they can cover the lamp a littlebit. Similarly, very powerful Vajra Shakti or hateful tantric Vajra Shakti launched by many people can also cause some harm to the awakened Yogi too. However, he keeps walking on the path of truth without caring about his own loss, but when his life is in danger, then anger comes out naturally for self-protection, it is not a common anger that is expressed deliberately, nor it sounds like anger. His anger may come out in a transformed form. Like in the form of some social reform movement or as a boon to someone. That anger does not harm anyone, because an awakened person does not harm anyone at all. Now, it is not known what good of the society is hidden in the origin of Jalandhar, but Indra was saved from destruction, meaning the entire creation was saved from destruction, because Indra is the king of the gods. Anger is man’s biggest enemy. Anger weakens or destroys one’s own body, and all the gods including Indra are situated in the universe of our own body. It can be said that Jalandhar is the energy of anger that has descended to Muladhar. This is called drinking anger. At that time it was drunk but later it can also come out of Muladhar in the form of immoral love affair. This is Jalandhar who had become enamored with goddess Parvati and Lakshmi. Only his devoted wife Vrinda saved him from death. This means that he had become as powerful as Shiva and Vishnu through the power of Tantra. He is already considered to be a part of Shiva. He defeated all the gods, meaning he was no longer under the control of the nature governed by the gods, and despite giving pain to everyone, remained happy through the power of Tantra. When Vishnu violated Vrinda’s modesty by deceit, she committed suicide through burning in the fire and the Tulsi plant grew there with her ashes. Tulsi is the most sacred plant of Hindu religion which can be found growing in the courtyard of almost every Hindu family. It is a storehouse of medicinal and spiritual properties. The meaning is clear that a devoted woman is superior to all types of human beings and should be present in every family. Jalandhar city of Punjab is named after this demon. There is also a temple of Vrinda here. In fact, the wife plays a big role in the success of a tantra yogi. If the wife does not cooperate, even the gods do not cooperate. Failing in this path of salvation is considered death. In reality, the extra tantric power of a meditative yogi gets spent in Kundalini meditation, due to which he has not any strength remaining to think bad or do bad. But those who use tantric practices and techniques but do not do proper meditation, their excess tantric energy remains accumulated in the body. Only it can make them do wrong. Call it black magic or sorcery or posing bad eye or creating ruckus by eating and drinking or keeping jihadist type mentality in local language. It would not be an exaggeration to say that many organisations, nations, religions or sects have been using this excess or uncontrolled Tantric energy for centuries for their illegal and immoral growth. Even demons were born from this, although they also died from this. It depends on the method of use. Energy has to be released. Anyway, Shiva is having fun. Meaning he is happy with himself. This means that he possesses all the qualities within himself as per his need. That is why they are called ghostly, because they also accept dark Tamoguna when needed. Perhaps this is how the concept of Tantrik Panchamakar originated. Others depend on each other for balance of basic qualities or gunas. Some people always remain in state of Satoguni, such as Vishnu, some in Tamoguni, such as Asuras or demons and animals and still others in Rajoguni, such as Brahma and Indra. These three types of people remain dependent on each other. Therefore, they avoid angering or disturbing each other as much as possible. Especially people with good qualities or satoguna, because it’s the weakest, and it needs both the other gunas even for its sustenance. But Shiva does not care about anyone. He is completely capable in his own right. That is why he’s not in a mood to forgive Indra, but it has to be done for the public good, not to fulfill his selfishness, because he does not need anyone. The state of awakening cannot be called Satoguni, although it is achieved by abundance of Satoguna. Of course, there is a light like good quality in it, but it is different from the common worldly good quality. It also has the appearance of Tamoguna and Rajoguna, but they also seem different from worldly gunas. It cannot even be called a mixture of all three qualities, of course one has to take help of them to describe it, and it feels like a mixture of them, but according to the scriptures it is not even a mixture of them. Perhaps that is why it has been called Trigunatit or devoid of any Guna. It is like if lemon, sugar and salt are mixed in equal quantity in water then that water will appear plain but in reality it is not pure plain water. Similarly, if all the three gunas remain equal then that state will appear to be trigunateet but in reality it is not a pure trigunateet or nirgun state of the soul. Perhaps because of this deception many spiritual leaders consider themselves God. It is for this reason that the experience of awakening does not seem different in nature from the worldly experience. But in reality there is a world of difference between the two. While the experience of awakening is like pure water, the worldly experience is like water mixed with salt, lemon and sugar. The ratio of all three keeps changing every moment. When it becomes equal, then light and happiness like awakening is felt. This mainly happens due to the balance of Idapingala i.e. Yinyang through Yoga. It gives us a feeling of a state of awakening. This inspires one to achieve real awakening. The meaning from these talks is clear that the so-called Tamogun of Shiva does not hinder but helps in his awakening. Although it is not Tamogun but it looks like Tamogun. If it happens then it is of good nature. Perhaps this happens by eliminating the ego of good qualities or Satoguna. It is also said in the scriptures that awakening from good qualities is achieved only when the egoistic feeling towards it is destroyed. Due to destruction of ego, despite having good qualities, one does not focus on these much. It is because of the lack of attention or attachment towards it that it appears to be like the state of Tamo Guna. All this means Shiva’s Tamoguna is virtual, not real.

Kundalini Yoga as the story of demon Mahishasura killing

The method of writing in Puranas is Vedic i.e. classical or social. There is decency, etiquette and discipline in their stories. There are limited words. Anti-social mysteries are also described in them in a social manner. For example, Muladhara is described as a dark deep pit or underworld on earth somewhere or the ocean. The attached thoughts of the wandering mind or the ego are likened to demons or animals. They are shown entering the pit or living there. They are shown killing and harassing all living beings and gods including humans. Then Indra and other gods are shown going to Brahma and he alongwith them to the divine hero for help and pray for that. Then the hero of the story enters that pit and takes out the demons and their overlord. Fights them and by killing them or purifying them grants them the highest position of salvation. In fact, all thoughts merge in God only. This is the spiritual science of Kundalini Yoga. Meaning, God has installed Yogakundalini shakti in the body himself to fight ignorance. The yogi concentrates on the meditation image in the Muladhara chakra area. When that image reaches the brain through the nerves, it also brings with it the suppressed thoughts and emotions of the subconscious mind. Due to this, they get expressed in the mind with the feeling of witnessing and merge into the soul. In reality, Shakti ascends from the base, with the help of meditation image. The same Shakti exposes the emotions buried in the mind. To explain, it is said that the meditative image in the form of Shiva brought out with itself all the suppressed images in the form of demons from the pit in the form of Muladhar and liberated them by killing them. Shakti is sleeping in Muladhar, due to which due to lack of energy in the brain, its Kundalini-like buried or hidden or subconscious or unconscious thoughts are also sleeping. It is explained that those thoughts also sleep in the Mooladhar. When that Shakti starts awakening due to strengthening of Mooladhar, it also starts awakening or expressing the thoughts of the brain. It is explained that the Kundalini Shakti of Muladhar is awakening, that is, the mixture of Shakti and thoughts is awakening. That is why people who live longer are taking special care of their perineum area. I was watching the webseries Live to 100 Years, where one of the secrets of longevity of the people of Okinawa, Japan was to keep their base strong through exercise, physical labor etc. The story is built on the base. God himself just make the Shakti accessible and agreeable and also provide favourable conditions for her waking up. This is according to the statement of Patanjali Yoga that while doing Yoga, one should remain surrendered to God and also worship Him because He helps in making Yoga successful. He has called this Ishwar Pranidhan. There is almost a similar trend in all the stories. Similar stories keep coming in between few verses or pages direct spiritual knowledge with changes in name and form to make all interesting. In Shivpuran, Shiva is shown as the hero who kills those demons, whereas in Vishnupuran, Vishnu is shown. The same non-dual principle is called by the names of different gods, which is the experience of awakening. The body is shown as the universe, and the special organs and senses are shown as ordinary gods. People or body cells or simple organs are shown as common people or public. These are all interconnected.

For example, there is a story in Devibhagwat purana that a demon named Mahishasur was in the shape of a buffalo. Sometimes he would take the form of a handsome young man and sometimes he would become a buffalo because he was an impersonator. The common ignorant man is also such an impersonator. Sometimes he creates a beautiful appearance with the external garb and glitter of the attached thoughts of the mind, and sometimes it comes in its true and hidden form, which is in the form of darkness and ego. Sometimes he is shown fused, half buffalo and half man. This is like when there is depression inside a person. At that time, dark and blurry pictures are being formed in his mind. Or there is that condition of man in which he cleverly faces his dark state and tries to get illuminated with good thoughts. That demon used to torture humans and gods, killing them and causing pain to them. Everyone dies due to ignorance. Ignorance is also the cause of sorrow. He had driven away the gods from heaven and took charge of the governance of all the worlds. In reality, the gods are the representatives of the Supreme Soul, hence, they ensure the material progress of man and take him towards him i.e. towards salvation. Not only do they control the physical world, they also stay in the body and keep the body under control. But when man comes under the control of ego born out of ignorance, then he behaves arbitrarily, due to which even his material progress becomes cosmetic and ultimately painful, and he moves away from God. Heaven is the brain in which Sahasrara and Ajna Chakra are the main places. The brain itself is a world as luminous as heaven. In a knowledgeable person, god means the luminous non-dual feeling and by keeping him under his control, he makes the man’s body and mind perform auspicious deeds. But in an ignorant person, this demon i.e. darkness or duality in the form of ego takes control of the body and mind and makes one perform inauspicious deeds. Gods are still doing all the work of the body, but they do their work secretly in other worlds, away from heaven. In a way they become slaves of demons. It is like the workers in a state do all the work, whether the king is of their choice or of their dislike. If it is of their choice, they get proper respect and facilities, and get proper position or representation in the palace, if it is of their dislike, they remain like slaves. The king of the body is the soul, which resides in the brain. Through satsang or spiritual company it remains under the influence of gods, and through bad company it remains under the influence of demons. As he associates, so does he become. That Mahishasura expressed his desire to marry the goddess. The goddess played with him a lot. In the end she fought with him and killed him. He became free by merging with the goddess. An ignorant common man also wants and tries to do the same. When he is in the darkness of spiritual ignorance, his Kundalini Shakti is in Mooladhara. She wants to get up from there. For that he wishes for love and marriage with the woman. A woman like Devi does not accept his proposal at all. She makes him dance a lot behind her. Due to this, the charming image of that woman gets settled in the man’s mind in the form of a continuous trance. Gradually, all his actions and thoughts are burnt to ashes by that samadhi picture, and he also becomes awakened by his continuous natural meditation. After awakening him, the goddess also leaves him. The man has died in a way, because due to transformation his previous world comes to an end. Because Goddess has the biggest contribution in this awakening and transformation, so it was believed that he was killed by the goddess. Actually it seems like that too. That goddess seems to be both an enemy and a friend. An enemy because she destroyed a man’s world or killed him and a friend because she awakened him or liberated him by merging him with herself. That is why most of the demons, despite being enmity with the god all their life, praise and thank him while dying at his hands. Instead of goddess, there can be a god too in male form. This is the general style and principle of the stories of the Puranas, which applies to most of the mystical stories. It also seems that in other Puranas these have been kept more secret than Shivpuran. In most of the stories of Shivpuran, there are some key words or key sentences which help in solving the story. The reason for this seems to be that Shivpuran is mainly written for people engrossed in ecstasy and worldly illusion, whose intelligence is not very subtle, and who do not find the revelation of such stories odd or strange. Although this is a common principle of common household life, it is rarely experienced before awakening. We can also call this natural Kundalini Yoga. It is said in the scriptures that the one who is killed by an incarnation of God becomes free by merging with him. Probably this principle is at the core of this story also.

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

Famous legend of Atri-Anasuya

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

the explanation for mythological story

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

Kundalini Yoga is important for environmental protection

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

Explanation of the above myth

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

Kundalini awakening as Brahmastra side effects are prevented by Shaivastra aka Pashupatastra

Friends, there is a great personal character named Ashwatthama in Mahabharata. He has been called the incarnation of Lord Shiva. He was the son of Guru Dronacharya. Dronacharya was the teacher of Kauravas and Pandavas. He was proficient in all the sciences, even in the transcendental theology. He was a Brahmin, and at that time the real Brahmin was considered to be the one who knew Brahmavidya. There were many Brahmins by name. Brahmavidya is synonymous with Kundalinividya, because both lead to spiritual awakening. Dronacharya also had the biggest war weapon named Brahmastra. Brahmastra has the ability to burn the entire universe, like a nuclear weapon. Dronacharya had given that highly secret Brahmastravidya only to his son Ashwatthama, not even to his most beloved disciple Arjuna. When the Kauravas were defeated, Duryodhana, desperate and saddened by it, asked Ashwatthama for help. He too could not turn down the demand of his dear friend. He cut off the heads of five sleeping men from the Pandava house in the dark of night thinking those as pandavas. But actually they were five sons of Pandavas. Furious with their mother Draupadi’s lamentation, Arjuna sat on the chariot with Krishna and started following Ashvatthama. Ashwatthama ran away in fear and fired Brahmastra i.e. Brahmashir astra on Arjuna. It posed a threat to the entire universe. The universe started burning due to its bright glow. It created a huge fire in all directions. Seeing the danger to his life, Arjuna was saddened and his brightness was destroyed. Even Shri Krishna was not able to stop that weapon. Ashwatthama did not learn the art of stopping it from his father. Ashwatthama was also realizing his mistake, but was unable to do anything. He was scolded by everyone including Shri Krishna that when he did not know how to stop the Brahmastra, then why did he use it. Then, with the advice of Shri Krishna, Arjuna remembering Lord Shiva pacified it by firing the Shaivastra i.e. Pashupat weapon given by Lord Shiva while meditating on him in the past. The damage caused by it was averted, although it was trying to burn Abhimanyu’s wife Uttara’s womb, but Sri Krishna saved it until the Pashupat weapon was fired.

Spirituo-scientific explanation of the above story

Firstly, this Brahmastra is also called the same Brahmashir arrow in a neighbouring verse, which was made from the spine of sage Dadhichi and that had killed the demon Vritrasura. In the recent old post, we proved that it is the energy line in the form of awakened Sushumna. Second, Ashwatthama was a learned Brahmin, to whom his father Dronacharya, who was well versed in the Vedas, had given all the education. Brahmin’s job is to study and teach Vedas, what do they have to do with weapons. If someone says that of course fighting was the work of the Kshatriyas or warrior group people, but teaching how to fight was the work of the Brahmins, then this statement does not suit. The one who does not know how to fight himself, how can he teach others how to fight. I find the language of weapons used for them to be figurative. This must have been done so that it does not happen that the warrior Kshatriyas do not come under the control of Brahmins by coming into the ego. Anyway, intelligence has been considered the biggest weapon, because even the biggest war can be won or avoided by intelligence, and intelligence is in abundance with a Brahmin. Even the war of Mahabharata seems like a mental war to me. A long time ago, news about radioactive radiation of Mahabharata war in Kurukshetra field was read in newspapers and social media. It was written that when so-and-so scientists investigated, the tests turned out to be positive. Don’t know how they present fabricated things as truth, from where they bring scientists, and where they get them investigated. On probing deeply, it was found that there is no scientific confirmation of this, and it is still considered as Mythology. It is a different matter that it cannot be completely denied, because what is happening inside in a subtle form, that is also happening outside in a gross form. Brahmasna destroys the subtle world of the mind, and the nuclear weapon destroys the gross world of exactly the same form outside. In fact everything is subtle. Perhaps such stories like half-truths are created only to increase the curiosity towards spirituality in the common man. One more thing, if the wars described in the Puranas were real physical wars, then the Hindu community would have been the most fighting community, but it is not so, it’s quite the opposite seemingly. Hindus appear shrinking today. In addition, the war was kept closed from sunset to sunrise. This happens only in the war of life, when people work during the day and sleep at night. All this shows that those battles were against the defects of the mind that were fought with the help of Kundalini Shakti in the body itself. To make them interesting they are shown as outside and real. Although it’s a different matter whatever takes place inside body,the same happens outside too. Duryodhana means the person who is hardly won in the war seems to me a symbol of ego. The Kauravas were one hundred brothers. There is also a popular saying that there are hundred bad qualities in such and such person. I am also not denying that Mahabharata is history. May be both things are true. It is also evident from this that Brahmastra is awakened Sushumna only. Ashwatthama made it run on Arjuna, meaning he started awakening Kundalini inside Arjuna with the power of his vision also called as eye born shaktipat. Anyway, Ashwatthama was an awakened person. The proof of this is the gem burried on his forehead. Actually it is the awakened agya chakra or opened third eye. A sudden awakening of the Kundalini will cause the same uneasiness as a man who has lived in a dark cave for years is brought out into the sun suddenly. Due to this, great light was created in all directions, which means that Arjuna’s brain was shining all around, because the whole universe is inside the brain. At the time of awakening, there is a fear of strange untoward happening, though it’s different from normal fear. It is full of bliss, light and peace. Together with the destroyed ego, which means that one’s personality ends, there can also be a feeling of impending death. This feeling is also different from death and is luminous and fully expressional. One may feel that he is going towards a peaceful divine world or Muktiloka that’s liberated abode. Arjuna was saddened by this and his glory was destroyed. Actually the glory of the ego was destroyed, the glory of Brahman was increasing. Fighting sharpens the ego, but Brahmatej causes forget everything and makes one like a monk. Understand that Arjuna got Kundalini awakening or started getting. Due to this, side effects of Kundalini awakening were born on him. These are being described figuratively. Life is a war. If a man is suppressed by the burden of Kundalini, then how will he fight in the battle of life, how will he kill the ego like Duryodhana. The problem is that from where a pure and sattvic Brahmin like Ashwatthama can bring so much energy, which helps destroy those Kundalini Doshas. He was a bachelor boy at that time, so Guru Dronacharya did not teach him energy rich tantric techniques. But the married Arjuna had already learned those Vamachari or leftist techniques from Lord Shiva, which have been named Shaivastra or Pashupatastra. Shri Krishna reminded Arjuna of that. Ashwatthama was an incarnation of Shiva, because he was supporting the Kauravas that were in the form of bad qualities. Even Shiva looks like a vicious tantrik when seen from outside. He is always on the side of the demons, but when the gods persuade him, he comes over to the side of the gods. He’s innocent, isn’t he? Anyone can easily mislead and convince him.The Pandavas along with Krishna removed the gem from his forehead as a punishment. This means that if one tries to become like Shiva without proper knowledge of Shaivism, he will be misguided even after being awakened. It is tantamount to death sentence for him. Why didn’t Dronacharya teach Brahmastra Vidya to his disciples, and why only to his son Ashwatthama. In worldly education, it is the other way round, that means a teacher can teach everything to his students, but cannot teach anything to his son, for whom separate tuition has to be arranged. This also proves that it was a transcendental yoga science. It’s understandable less by someone’s teaching, but by the constant company and rituals of one’s present family and ancestors, it comes to be learnt itself without teaching. One more thing, the physical weapon does not allow itself to reach the child in a woman’s womb without harming her. Yes, the radiation from a nuclear weapon can do that. But it damages the womb of countless women, not just the womb of a single chosen woman. Kundalini is said to influence DNA. Because they were all members of the same family, their DNA was intertwined. Because the fetus was the most delicate, his DNA was most affected. He felt that there was a bright and burning radiance all around, which Lord Krishna was pacifying with his Sudarshan Chakra. In fact, when Kundalini Shakti reaches the brain, a meditation image automatically appears in the middle of it to protect one from its side effects. Probably Shri Krishna was in this form. Shri Krishna only because he was the closest, dearest and most respected of his family.

Mahabharata is called the fifth Veda. There is an experiential and esoteric description of the Supreme in the Vedas. The same has been simplified in Puranas and Mahabharata with mythological stories. What is the use of physical science in them? Although the same is inside the gross physical world, which is inside the mind and soul, but the main focus is placed on the aspects of the mind, soul, and the body associated with it. Lord Krishna is the soul. The five Pandavas are his five Pranas or life forces. Shri Krishna himself has also said this. Arjuna is the main prana. Hundreds of worldly thoughts are hundred Kaurav brothers. They constantly keep on snatching the power of the pranas. They want to keep them away from the soul. Krishna’s dearest friend is Arjuna. He acts as main Prana that help kundalini Shakti rise up to meet the Atman. Prana gives strength to the breaths. It remains closest to the soul. That’s why at the time of awakening the breath becomes calm. It is only with the power of the breath that the power ascends up. Ashwatthama fired Brahmastra on Arjuna means Yoga provoked Prana to awakening. The seven chakras are the seven sons of the Pandavas. The chakras are activated by the vital force or prana. Five sons were killed by Ashwatthama means good worldly activity in the form of yoga etc. stuck in the midst of hundreds of evils pierced the five chakras. Anyway, due to physical activity, maximum pressure falls on Muladhar Chakra, because it is close to the waist joint. Yoga increases this pressure, because in this we bend more, bend for a longer time, and bend while holding the breath with awareness. The rear Swadhishthana Chakra which is the raised hip bone, seems to have a depression on the adjoining upper side, I think that is the real Mooladhara or directly connected to mooladhara. By massaging deeply in it, there is a feeling of intense sensation like sexual pleasure which ascends upwards. Abhimanyu and Ghatotkacha were left among the sons of Pandavas, which means that the top two main chakras were not penetrated. That’s why the symptoms of Kundalini were not tolerated by Arjuna. Now call it a fabricated story or a real yoga story created by a epic writer Rishi, but it is well made and factful.

There is another side to this story as well. Drauna is also the name of a mountain. Dronacharya means Acharya who controls the mountains. Anyway, he had done penance on Mount Drauna. Bones have been called mountains at many places. Yoga etc. is done with the bones only. That’s why I am telling Ashwatthama Yogasadhana. When the chakras were penetrated by yoga, the suppressed emotions came out and became extinct, that means they died completely. Due to this, their mother Buddhi or intellect i.e. Draupadi started crying with sorrow, because those feelings were created because of her actions. Prana Arjuna along with the soul Krishna also got disturbed by this and they ran to stop the yoga i.e. to catch Ashwatthama. But by then Sushumna had awakened, which means it had left the Brahmastra. Anyway, Sahasrar Chakra is also called Brahmarandhra. Ashwatthama was maintaining the friendship of Duryodhana, because when a man gets tired or bored of selfish worldliness, then he himself adopts yoga. Prana could not bear the radiance of that awakened Kundalini, so he brought it down to the agya chakra by rubbing his forehead. Then don’t know where it got merged. This is to extract a gem from the forehead of Ashwatthama. After awakening man feels like a new birth like a child. This is the complete shaving of hair on head and face of Ashwatthama. If the Brahmastra was a physical weapon, its radiance and other effects would be felt by all, but it was felt only by Arjuna, because it was inside him. Krishna is the real soul, it doesn’t matter to him, because he is always awake. Shaivastra is a worldly mind like an open style of living. Panchamkar of Tantra is the biggest worldliness. After meditating or seeing it, the Shaivastra was launched, due to which the Brahmastra became calm. It is possible that some dance or ceremony of women etc. is going on nearby. As soon as you pay attention to it, the Shaivastra must have launched. In fact, Ajna Chakra and Sahasrar Chakra should also become active, only then the Kundalini awakening can be tolerated well. The manifest and unmanifest complex thoughts of the intellect are reduced to ashes by the activation of the agya chakra. Similarly, the activation of the Sahasrar Chakra increases blood circulation there, so that the pressure of awakening can be tolerated. Along with this, the active and repressed unrestrained visual thoughts are also consumed.

Arjuna’s son was Abhimanyu and his son was Parikshit who was watching Krishna in Uttara’s womb. He used to test Krishna in everyone even after coming out, that is why he was named Parikshit that literally means to judge. Abhimanyu literally means very angry. Actually, anger is expressed through the prana. That anger was towards the deceitful worldliness like Duryodhana. But it was downgraded inside superficial thinking, not upgraded with deep thinking. Means Arjuna hated him superficially, not deeply. ‘Ut’ literally means above, and Tara means floating. Due to this the power of anger was being transformed into the image form of Kundalini meditation. Due to this, the Navjeev or newborn as Parikshit was feeling kundalini in the form of Krishna’s Dhyanachitra. The new soul is because the soul is transformed into a new one by meditation. Then that transformed person, even after growing up, used to search and test the same meditation picture everywhere, because it is very blissful and benevolent. When it is so good in the subtle form in the mind, then how much better it will be in the physical form. But the physical form has its own compulsions. That’s why it is nowhere to be found. A man keeps on testing it everywhere. Every man especially awakened man is Parikshit.

One more thing, the war chakravyuh in which Abhimanyu entered had seven layers. Firstly, the name is also chakra, and the count is also equal to the chakras of the body. Both are in the form of a layer on top of each other. Muladhara Chakra is limited to itself, Swadhishthana Chakra covers it too etc. In this way, the upper chakra covers the lower ones as well. Sahasrara covers all the chakras. When a person enters Chakra meditation due to anger on someone, then he can enter inside, but cannot come out, because anger ends with the effect of Sadhana or meditation. Dhruva went out to find Lord Vishnu filled with anger towards his step mother, but when lord Vishnu met, his anger ended and he started loving the same mother very much. Perhaps the same happened with Lord Rama, that’s why his ill-wishing stepmother was most dear to him.

Kundalini Shakti kills the demon Vritrasur by becoming Indra-Vajra

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

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

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

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

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

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

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