Kundalini and the Eight Vasus: The Secret Descent of Divine Energies

When one reads the Mahabharata through the eyes of Yoga, every myth becomes a mirror of inner evolution.
The story of Ganga and her eight sons—the Vasus—appears as an ancient drama of curse and compassion. Yet within it flows the hidden current of Kundalini Shakti, moving between heaven and earth, spirit and matter.

The eight Vasus were radiant beings of light, guardians of nature’s elemental powers. But once, out of a moment’s desire, they stole the celestial cow Nandini from Rishi Vashishtha’s ashram. The cow was not a mere creature—it was Maya, the wish-fulfilling field of creation itself. By desiring her, the divine energies turned toward possession, and thus, the fall began.

Vashishtha’s curse was not punishment—it was the law of descent. When pure pranic forces seek pleasure rather than purpose, they must enter the limitation of birth. The eight Vasus, once infinite, were destined to experience the density of form.

Ganga, the river of consciousness, took mercy. She agreed to bring them into the world and return them swiftly to her waters.
As she gave birth, each of the first seven sons was immersed back into her flow—symbolizing the seven levels of energy that dissolve into the Source when purified by surrender. These seven represent the seven chakras, released one by one as consciousness ascends beyond them.

But the eighth—Prabhasa, the chief offender—had to remain. He was born as Bhishma, the son who could not be freed. He became the embodied energy, the Kundalini retained—not dissolved, but disciplined. Bhishma’s legendary vow of celibacy mirrors the highest yogic restraint, where desire is transformed into awareness, and energy no longer flows outward but stands still in eternal witnessing.

Thus, in the language of Yoga:

  • The eight Vasus are the eight pranic currents that animate creation.
  • The theft of Nandini is consciousness seeking fulfillment in the external.
  • The curse is embodiment—karma’s necessity.
  • Ganga’s flow is the river of purification, where energies return to their origin.
  • Bhishma is the enlightened awareness that remains in the world but not of it—the realized yogi who lives amidst dharma yet stays untouched.

Kundalini, too, descends and ascends through these very layers. Seven streams rise and merge back into the ocean of spirit; the eighth, the witnessing consciousness, abides on earth as the dharmic flame.

When one reads this story not as history but as inner scripture, Bhishma’s silence on the bed of arrows becomes the silence of the awakened mind—pierced by the arrows of karma yet unmoved by pain, waiting only for the auspicious hour to return to the Eternal Ganga.

Breathing Through the Spine: A Living Inner Discovery

In silence—not by books, but by experience—I began to see how the energy inside responds more to awareness than to fixed rules.

What follows is not a doctrine, but a direct unfolding that happened in me. One layer opened, and then another. Breath, posture, energy—everything changed its meaning.


🔹 Ajna Chakra: The Pranic Pump

One day in meditation, I found something fascinating.

By lightly constricting the Ajna Chakra, prana pushed downward through the spine. When the Ajna relaxed, it pulled prana upward.

It felt like a real, intelligent pump. Not metaphorical. A living, energetic mechanism inside me.

It became clear—maybe this is the deeper meaning of Ajna Chakra meditation. Not just focusing in between the eyebrows, but using this center to circulate breathless breath through the spine.


🔹 The Void Through Upward Gaze

Along with this pumping action, the upward gaze produced something even subtler—a kind of mindless void. A peaceful, dark space opened. Thought faded, and awareness stayed.

It wasn’t frightening. It was empty yet alive. Like standing at the edge of the universe in stillness.

Maybe this is what some texts mean by Chidakasha—the space of consciousness.


🔹 A Blissful Gate Behind the Heart

Then another miracle happened.

When Ajna pressed prana downward, a blissful activation point appeared at the back of the heart—rear Anahata.

It felt like a valve. When it lit up, something opened in the Sushumna Nadi. Prana could rise freely, as if the gate was now unlocked.

This rear Anahata acted like a blissful switch, silently confirming: the central channel is now flowing.


🔹 A Living Circuit: Rear Chakras Breathing

Soon, more centers joined this inner circuit:

  • Rear Swadhisthana
  • Rear Anahata
  • Rear Vishuddhi
  • Ajna

They aligned like points in the spine, and I could feel pulsating prana flowing through them—as if the spine itself was breathing.

There was no effort. No external breath needed. It was natural kumbhak—the breath suspended, yet I was alive with subtle breathing inside.

Sometimes, even rear Manipura joined, though less often. Maybe it still holds fire or resistance. But when it aligns, the circuit feels whole.


🔹 Breaking the Myth of Posture

At first, I tried to maintain Padmasana and a straight spine. But as the state deepened, the need for form disappeared.

Even when tired, shifting to simple Sukhasana didn’t break the flow.

Even when the back bent like a bow, the inner current increased. In fact, Kevala Kumbhak (effortless breathlessness) became stronger in the bowed posture than in the rigid one.

This was a big shift.

It meant that posture is a medium, not a master. Once prana is flowing, awareness alone sustains it.


🔹 Bent Spine Releases, Straight Spine Gathers

Another rhythm revealed itself.

  • When I bent the spine, it felt like trapped energy at the navel was freed and rose upward.
  • After some time, straightening the spine was naturally needed again—to gather energy, to become a vessel.

This flow—bow and rod—became a cycle: Posture Effect Bent back Releases stored energy Straight back Gathers and concentrates energy

This was no longer asana—it was inner breathing through awareness. My body was moving with the natural rhythm of prana.


🌟 Conclusion: From Technique to Intuition

All this showed me something very humbling:

Once pranic intelligence awakens, the body becomes its instrument. Not the other way around.

Ajna became a pump, rear Anahata a valve, rear chakras a breathing channel, posture a fluid vessel.

This is not about discipline now. It is about listening—to the silent current that already knows the way.

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

Famous legend of Atri-Anasuya

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

the explanation for mythological story

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

Kundalini Yoga is important for environmental protection

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

Explanation of the above myth

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

Kundalini help is sought out even by gods to succeed

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

Kundalini Shakti kills the demon Vritrasur by becoming Indra-Vajra

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

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

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

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.

Kundalini based sexual Yoga prepares the brain for awakening

Friends, in the previous post we were talking about the comparative study between Kundalini meditation and psychiatry. In the same episode, it also seems that such and such psychopaths can be treated with love therapy. That’s why it’s often common saying that Love makes one helping de-addiction. Love is a supertonic. Mental illness is not always bad, as is commonly believed, but it can also be a godgift. Probably that is why mental patients are seen from a special divine perspective in Hinduism, they are seen with respect. Here they are rarely sent to a mental hospital, unless there is a serious danger. They are the main source of entertainment, and the main point of attraction in ceremonies etc. Yet for the most part they are treated with respect, and they are not hurt. They are not even considered a big burden on the society.
I feel like Muladharvasini Kundalini Shakti enables the brain to withstand the pressure. It probably increases the flexibility of the blood vessels, helping them to increase blood flow without having to bear much pressure. It used to be strange when common people used to sit holding their heads in the name of meditation, but in my mind there was dhyana samadhi all the time due to the power of sexual yoga. I was in full influence of Tantric Sexual Yoga when I had a momentary Kundalini awakening. Otherwise it would not have happened to me. The body knows when to do what with itself. It fully opened the back channel for awakening only when the brain became capable of withstanding maximum pressure by being under the influence of Kundalini Shakti of sexual yoga continuously for two to three months. I unknowingly lowered the Kundalini not because I could not bear its pressure, but because I was afraid that I might fall behind materially. Because I had the same experience in the past. Don’t know what magic this orgasmic power does. It is a blissful power.
Sexual yinyang grows out of devotion and surrender to each other. That’s why a lot of emphasis is laid on these two spiritual attributes. What happens is that only with full dedication towards each other, Yin and Yang immerse into each other completely. What can be better than sexual surrender? Yinyang is there in everything, but surrender is only or best between man and woman. The closeness and interconnectedness that is formed between a pair of a loving man and woman, is not so much formed between anyone. That’s why loving relationship and surrendered sex is the best storehouse of yinyang unity. Therefore it is natural that this is also the best basis for physical and spiritual progress. Yinyang is completeness, Kundalini awakening is completeness, Godliness is completeness. The material world also comes under this perfection, it is not different from it.

Kundalini Yogi destroys ego and tantric sins in the form of Hiranyakashipu with the help of meditation picture as Lord Nrisimha and saves soulful intellect as Prahlad

Friends, in the previous post, how the peacock became a Yogi. Yogi’s back energy channel is male peacock, while the front channel is peahen. In an atmosphere full of depression, the power of Muladhara creates many faulty thoughts in his mind, because the power does not find any other way to be spent. He drinks the same thoughts i.e. tears by touching the inverted tongue to the soft palate inside the mouth as Khechari mudra. The same tears descending through the front channel take the form of Kundalini image on the chakras, especially on the navel chakra, which means the peahen becomes pregnant.

According to a legend in the Puranas, a demon named Hiranyakashipu sought a boon from Brahma that he should not be killed by humans or animals, neither in the day nor in the night, neither inside nor outside the house, nor by astra that’s fired weapons or shastra that’s handheld weapons. Hiranyakashipu considered Lord Vishnu as his worst enemy. But his son Prahlad was a devotee of Vishnu. Hiranyakashipu explained a lot to him but when he did not agree, he made many attempts to kill him. Once he got the iron pole red hot and asked Prahlad to stick to it. When Prahlad saw an ant crawling on it, he hugged the pillar without fear. Only then a strange creature came out of it, whose face was of a lion but it was a man from below. His name was Narasimha. He took him to the door of the house in the evening, took him on his lap and killed him with his nails.

Hiranyakashipu is also a symbol of tantric sin. Tantrik Panchamakar is sinful mostly. The tendency of sinful energy is more towards the material world. That’s why it does not allow man to go towards spirituality. But by Guru’s grace, a man’s trend becomes towards spirituality. It has been said in the story that the teacher of the school turned Prahlad towards spirituality. Then Hiranyakashipu removed that teacher and appointed a new teacher who gives physical education full of deceit. But Prahlad’s nature did not change. The meaning is clear that the blind power tries to take away even from the true Guru, but even if a little contact is established with the true Guru, it does not succeed. As a result, these tantric sins inclined towards spirituality make the Sushumna of man activated. This is the making of red hot iron pole by Hiranyakashipu. The yogi’s joining the meditation picture with it is his embracing it, for man’s own form is also that which he is meditating on every moment. The awakening of Dhyanachitra that’s meditation image means the manifestation of Lord Narasimha, by whom along with all other sins, those tantric sins committed for the success of Kundalini Sadhana are also destroyed. This is the killing of Hiranyakashipu by Nrisimha. The appearance of Narasimha from that burning pillar in the evening means that at that time Sushumna becomes more active than other times and most likely awakens the image of meditation in Sahasrara. Sushumna Nadi is that fiery red iron pillar. Sushumna also resides inside backbone stiff like iron. Because many people consider the picture of Kundalini as scary like a ghost, because it does not have a physical existence, that is why it has been given the form of a fearsome Narasimha. Meditation picture is neither human nor animal. It can be understood in such a way that when half-human forms like Hanuman, Ganesha are meditated upon, then Dhyanachitra is most expressive. He is neither inside nor outside. This means that Dhyanachitra is not a physical object, but only an imaginary picture. It is formed neither during the day nor at night, but it is formed in the evening while doing Kundalini Yoga. He takes Hiranyakashipu in his lap and punctures his belly with his fingernail, that means by lifting up the subconscious and unconscious mind from Muladhar hidden there as ego, he eliminates them by manifesting them on the chakras, means this is Vipasana Sadhana. In Sahasrar Chakra, it remains fully manifested, and remains asleep in Mooladhara, so it does not come to die in both the places. It remains semi-awake or semi-conscious only in the middle chakras, that’s why it comes to die in the middle. This is also the principle of witnessing in Vipassana practice. This is Chakrabhedan that’s chakra piercing through Shakti. First the dormant thoughts and desires from the surface of the subconscious mind are awakened by life force and expressed on the chakras, then they are penetrated by the flow of life force on the chakras. In fact, those desires and rituals are pierced or destroyed, but chakras are believed to be pierced. Because the navel chakra of the stomach is the most prominent, hence Hiranyakashipu’s stomach has been said to be torn open. Because most yogis strengthen their meditation by placing the tip of the fingernail or atleast finger on the chakra point causing the sharp prickling sensation at the chakra with the fingernail, that is why it is said that Narasimha tore Hiranyakashipu with the fingernail. Neither a human nor an animal can kill the ego. It cannot be killed by any type of weapon. It can be killed neither completely being outside i.e. extroverted, nor completely being inside i.e. introverted, but only by a suitable mixture of both. In this, the killing of Hiranyakshipu in the balanced or middle states tells that Sushumna is active only in the state of Sangam or union i.e. Yinyang. The Kundalini Yogi who feels a slight sensation like crawling in the back i.e. Sushumna, makes him believe about awakening of Kundalini, due to which he engages in yoga practice and activates Sushumna and achieves Kundalini awakening. It is said as Prahlad saw a worm crawling on that burning iron pillar, convinced with that he embraced it, from which Lord Narasimha appeared.
