It is said that the word Kundalini is not in the scriptures. But the word Kund is there a lot in Shivpuran. In Sanskrit language, a masculine object shaped like an earring or ring is called Kundalin and a feminine object having such shape is called Kundalini. Perhaps the word Kundal is also derived from the word Kund. The relation between the two is clearly visible. The literal meaning of Kund is round pit, and Kundal means round ring. The only difference between the two is that the pit has a bottom surface, but the rings do not, otherwise both are the same. Just as word Harshil is made from Harsh, similarly Kundal can be made from Kund. Harsh means full of joy and Kundal means accompanied with pit. This is because kundal fits properly inside kund. Only any Sanskrit grammar scholar can check this guess of mine, if he is reading this article. Even if a kundal is not formed from the word kund, the snake gets molded into the shape of the coil and hides in the kund i.e. the pit. That is why it is said that the snake has made its kundali. It should not be surprising if the pit in which a snake coils itself and hides is called a kund. In the dark pit of Mooladhar, the widespread power of the mind shrinks and gets hidden in the form of a meditation picture. That is why that power is called Kundalini. It climbs up through all the chakras and spreads in the nadis of the back and brain shaped like a hooded snake. Vishnu installed Shivalinga in the pit. Since it is related to religious faith, not much can be said about it because some staunch Hindus start doubting the fact that the one who calls the stories of the Puranas mythical is a Hindu. Well, in their opinion they are also right, because these stories are not fabricated. Myths are also of two types, one apocryphal or useless type and one based on scientific truth or useful type. The myths of the Puranas are of a different type, meaning that although they may seem like myths, they are completely based on scientific truth. That is why we highlight their scientific truth so that they are not considered fabricated myths and their lost respect can be regained. However, with common worldly thinking, it can be understood that the above Shivalinga worship by Lord Vishnu is similar to the way some skilled Tantra yogis gave Shivdhyan-superimposed sexual power to Muladhar as generated from Yabyum Asana. It is only by Shiva’s meditation on the Linga that it becomes pure and becomes Shivlinga. The method of great and ideal yogis like Dev Vishnu may certainly be advanced and sattvik, but the aim of all is the same, and that is to awaken the Shakti.
Vishnu was trying to worship Shiva with a thousand lotus flowers, that is, he was trying to lift the Shivadhyanachitra from the perineum up to the Sahasrara Chakra through the spine. Shiva hid a flower with his Maya shakti, which means that Vishnu, being fascinated by Shiva’s illusive power, was not able to offer his ego to Shiva. Vishnu searched for that last flower everywhere on earth but could not find it, meaning ego is within, not outside. Even if the entire external creation is offered to Shiva, the offering will still remain incomplete, because the ego residing inside the brain has not been offered. Vishnu then offered his one eye i.e. by awakening the third eye i.e. Ajna Chakra, he brought its power down from the front channel to the Muladhar Chakra. Being completely satisfied with that, Shiva present there climbed up to the Sahasrara Chakra and became fully awakened, that is, being pleased, he presented himself in visual form to Vishnu. The web of ego resides in the form of intelligence, and the symbol of intelligence is the Agyachakra. Meaning, the power of the mind which was trapped in the web of intellectualistic worldliness, got freed and got attached to Shivdhyan Chitra i.e. Kundalini picture, due to which it woke up. Then Shiva gave him Sudarshan Chakra, meaning the Sahasrara Chakra formed after su darshan or good visualisation or Shivadarshan i.e. awakening, is Sudarshan Chakra. Killing evil and demons means eliminating bad thoughts. At many places it is also shown like a rod, which seems to symbolize the Sushumna Nadi.
Shri Krishna had lifted Govardhan Mountain on the Sudarshan Chakra itself, that is, through the awakened Sahasrara Chakra, the form of knowledge, he made the physical world so light, subtle and ethereal that it rose up and came in the middle of the void sky. With this, the cowherds men, i.e. the common worldly people under the influence of senses, were saved from the indiscriminate rain of sorrows, which was being caused by Indra in the form of ego. Cow is called the senses and the one who grazes the cow means an ignorant human being suffering from the influence of senses. This seems to be a similar case of Ravana lifting Mount Kailash on his arms. Sudarshan Chakra moving only at will and coming back on its own after striking and always rotating indicates that it is a divine chakra i.e. Sahasrara Chakra. Its spokes, axles etc. indicate seasons etc. Kalachakra is also compared to this among Buddhists. Even in Kalachakra, there are spokes etc. equal to Sudarshan Chakra which indicate the movement of time, seasons etc. Both contain thunder and electricity. This is the energy flowing in Sushumna and giving instant awakening. Like Sudarshan Chakra, Kalachakra is also associated with Vishnu, Krishna, Shiva etc. Both are described in the Vedas. However, Kalachakra is mainly used among Buddhists.
There are three types of Kalachakra, baahya or external, aantarik or internal and gupta or secret. External macro universe is included in external, internal is micro universe inside the body and secret is included in mysterious liberating sciences like yoga etc. I think that having complete knowledge of one leads to knowledge of all three. For an extroverted person, it is the sadhana of the external Kalachakra. internal for an introvert and Gupt Kalachakra is made for Sanyasin or renunciate type of person. Knowledge and liberation come from all three. Premyogi Vajra’s philosophy of physiological science or sharirvigyan darshan can be called a kind of internal Kalachakra, because it describes the universe inside the body. Kalachakra is a circle in which various deities, symbols and figures are displayed. In fact, there is a world with similar diverse forms in all the three time cycles aka kalchakras. By its sadhana it is natural that Sushumna, Sahasrara and Kundalini etc. get awakened, which then destroy the demons in the form of evil thoughts and nature. In this case also Kalachakra and Sudarshan Chakra are same. It can be said that the Kalachakra is available to a common man, whereas the Kalachakra available to an ideal man like Vishnu has been called Sudarshan Chakra. The common man destroys only his own ignorance whereas Vishnu and his incarnations like Ram, Krishna, Buddha etc. destroy the ignorance of countless devotees. That is why Sudarshan Chakra can be called a special Kalachakra.
In Vamana Purana also this chakra has been called Kalachakra. Its twelve spokes indicate the twelve months and six navels indicate the six seasons. It is also said that the mantra ‘Sahasrat Hum Phat’ is inscribed on its spokes. This sounds like a Buddhist mantra. The Sikhs also used the Chakra as a weapon, which could be used directly or by throwing. At many places it is also said that the center of Sudarshan Chakra is made of Vajra. Vajra is the same spinal cord through which Vajra Shakti passes to Sahasrara. This article will be completely understood after reading the next article because its original story described in Shivpuran will be written in it.
Even in Rigveda, Sudarshan Chakra has been called Kalachakra. Apart from the three Kalachakras, there is also a fourth alternative Kalachakra, in which the mind is not allowed to be affected by the movement of time. This is the chakra of enlightenment and spiritual knowledge. This is Advaita, this is Dvaitadvaita, meaning Advaita is living amidst duality. This is the concept of tantra philosophy called body science philosophy created by Premyogi Vajra. This is Vishnu’s evil destroying Sudarshan Chakra. These are the three previous Kaalchakras, which due to the blows of time are going to put the common man’s mind in duality, ignorance and sorrow and put him in the cycle of birth and death again and again. The benevolent Sudarshan Chakra, the fourth and last one is the alternative Kalachakra, which undoubtedly rotates at the speed of time, but by teaching man to live non-dually in it, gives him happiness, prosperity and liberation. Anyone can have the time cycle that can kill, but only a knowledgeable person like Vishnu can have the one to save. That is achieved when the Sahasrara Chakra is awakened. This time continues like a cycle and never stops. Birth is followed by death, death is followed by birth and then again death. Creation is followed by destruction, destruction is followed by creation and then again destruction. Seasons keep changing in cycles, happiness and sorrow keep coming and going in cycles. We cannot run away from this cycle. The cycle itself cuts the cycle. Varadayi that’s boon providing Sudarshan or Alternative Chakra is the only way to escape. Meaning, keep moving with the cycle but do not let it disturb your non-dual peace. This is the praise and worship of Sudarshan Chakra.
Sudarshan Chakra cut Shishupala’s throat, which means that due to Shishupala’s duplicitous behavior his power did not rise above Vishuddhi Chakra. Because a person speaks with the power of Vishuddhi Chakra of the throat, then the power rising up is stopped by the throat and ends in abusive language, which means the path of power near the throat is cut, which means the throat is cut. Shishupala was abusing Krishna a lot. Kundalini chakras are also called chakras because the level of power on them also keeps changing cyclically. Sometimes the power increases and reaches a peak, which is called awakening of the chakra, and then decreases and reaches a minimum. For example, sometimes the heart’s emotions are in full swing and sometimes it becomes emotionless. After some time, the heart again gets filled with emotions, which sometimes leads to creation of a good poem. This cycle continues. If the Chakra is awakened, it does not mean that it will remain awakened forever. Its power will keep increasing and decreasing. Don’t be afraid of this nor be affected by it. This is the vaikalpik Kalachakra, meaning the Buddhist thinking kalchakra i.e. through truthful imagination or philosophy, we have to eliminate the ill effects of Kalachakra and create positive effects from it. Similarly, Sahasrara Chakra is also sometimes at its peak power. At that time, this can give material prosperity and liberation to deserving person by giving knowledge or boon, and by cursing the sinful person, it can also put him in material loss and bondage. Then the Sahasrara Chakra also occurs at a lower Shakti level, at which time Shri Krishna used to behave like a common man. He behaved like an incarnational man only when the Sahasrara was in a state of extreme power, at which time the Sudarshan Chakra was shown rotating on his finger as an external and physical symbol of the Sahasrara Chakra. Common people cannot feel the subtle Sahasrara Chakra inside the mind or brain. Through awakened Sahasrara Chakra that’s Sudarshan Chakra there is divinity, prophecy and greatness.
Man is born in the external kalchakra and learns a lot by living in it for a long time. This is the time cycle or kalchakra of initial practice. Then, being troubled by the blows of sorrow arising from it, he starts imposing it on the internal kalchakra. Meaning, he starts giving solace to his mind that whatever is there in the vast universe is also there in his own small body. Meaning ‘Yatpinde tat brahmande’. To do this becomes very easy with the book titled “sharirvigyan darshan, ek adhunik Kundalini Tantra, ek yogi ki premkatha”. This gives him a feeling of non-duality due to which he feels some protection from the blows of time. This happens because despite the entire Kalachakra running inside the body, none of its components fall into the bondage of duality. After remaining stable in it for a long time, when he becomes pure enough, then his tendency automatically leans towards the secret time cycle or gupta kalchakra of Yoga Sadhana. While doing yoga and moving forward, he himself turns towards Tantric Kundalini Yoga. Through Tantra Yoga, his Kundalini is awakened in the Sahasrara Chakra, which means he becomes the possessor of the vaikalpik Kalachakra or Sudarshan Chakra. Yet whenever he keeps coming down from this supreme Kalachakra due to lack of energy in Sahasrara, he easily reaches there with a little push of tantric energy.
The infinitely wide external kalchakra becomes smaller and smaller. First it reaches the level of the internal kalchakra. Then it becomes more subtle and limited to seven Kundalini Chakras and becomes the Gupta Kalachakra. It’s called Gupta or secret because not everyone can feel it but only the Kundalini yogis. Then after awakening, it becomes subtle to the level of the point of sahasrar chakra and becomes an vaikalpik Kalachakra. The kalchakra continues from the beginning till the end, but earlier it was the one who puts you in the bondage of ignorance, in the end it becomes the giver of knowledge and liberation. This is a very effective and practical meditation which must be adopted. To put it in the simplest terms, it is like that in between the material worldly life, one should keep experiencing one’s body as well, the paths ahead open up on their own. Yoga is made only to develop its habit. While doing Yogasana, worldly thoughts keep coming due to the activity of Prana and along with this, attention is also focused on the special posture of the body and breath, which means the external Kalachakra keeps getting transformed into the internal Kalachakra.
