In my spiritual journey, I have experimented with different approaches to energy awakening. While many people talk about Kriya Yoga and breathwork, my own experience has shown me that nothing compares to the power of Tantra—especially Tantric Maithuna—as a kickstarter.

My Awakening Through Tantra

Whenever I started from Tantric Maithuna, I experienced profound and blissful awareness similar to my glimpse of full awakening though at lower grade to it almost instantly. Then I turned to solo practice when prostate issues made it problematic. But honestly, after experiencing the real impact of Tantra, I found that solo practice is nothing but scrap in front of this.

I have also heard about meditation at the tip of the Linga while energizing in the Yoni. The process works like this:

Meditation image is contemplated continuously on Linga tip sensation while during spiritual union. Reaching the peak point of sensation—just before ejaculation—where the limit of tolerance is almost crossed.

Instead of letting the Yoni contractions trigger ejaculation, the Linga is withdrawn just before crossing the threshold.

Then, using yogic breathing, the meditation image rises along with the sensational energy through Sushumna.

Finally, when the energy reaches Sahasrara, the meditation image becomes lively, instantly producing all spiritual qualities.

For weeks, this low grade awakening remains. But worldly pull tends to draw the energy downward again, no doubt.

Why Tantra is More Powerful Than Solo Kriya Practice

Many believe Kriya alone is enough for spiritual transformation. But my experience tells a different story.

✔ Prana flows upward with inhalation, but the real question is—how does it come down from the chest? This is where Apana (the downward force) plays a role. If I explain it further, I mean that the accumulation of energy in the brain causes headache, heaviness in the head, a feeling of unconsciousness or darkness or joylessness or uneasiness. There is no dedicated channel to bring the energy down from the brain like the Sushumna. Of course some yogis take the energy down through the imaginary front channel, but this seems to be a makeshift arrangement and is not very efficient. In Kriya, the energy is also taken down through the Sushumna. But this is also a similar arrangement because the Sushumna is made to take the energy upwards. If a one way road is made two way, you can understand what will happen. On the contrary, the consort tied to the Yabyum is the best and most effective channel to bring the energy down. This makes the energy move like a truck in a loop road and continuously pours the loaded cargo in the form of meditation picture into the Sahasrara. That’s why Tantra works on Prana-Apana union, ensuring a strong energy circuit instead of just mechanical breathing. Let me just elaborate it little more. In solo practice, prana and apana sparingly move together. If it’s made possible with techniques even then movement isn’t that appreciable. But during yab-yum union, when in breathing causes prana move up, apana simultaneously flows through the consort’s body down. This is probably to balance prana and apana. This rotates energy constantly in dynamic loop. Energy is also of high intensity due to less restriction in movement. Prana and apana also meet together in this way constantly. In solo practice, while breathing in causing prana to move up, apana is visualised as coming down through front of body. This is done to unite prana and apana and to keep them in dynamic rotation. But front part of body is not as dedicated channel for apana movement as separate body of consort. Also solo method requires much practice. Probably backbone of consort acts as down channel for apana movement. Consort is actually embodied shakti. It’s real. It’s not just like visualising yoni or shakti in muladhara during solo practice as in yoni mudra, vajroli etc. Majority of advanced and secret hathyoga techniques are actually based on real sexual tantra.

✔ Kriya breath—whether it be spinal breathing, internal breathing, or reverse breathing—it somewhat mimics the energy movement as it happens in tantric union. But if there’s no sexual energy generated at the base, why pump a dry well? Although naturally too, sexual energy itself goes up compiling in lower chakras by default but it’s too slow as compared to tantric build up.

✔ That’s why a mix of both Tantra and Kriya is the most efficient approach. First, generate energy at the base (Tantra), then refine and lift it (Kriya). Refining means superimposing meditation image on energy. I’ll describe it in detail in next post.

Since I have already held the awakened state for weeks, I can confidently say that Tantra produces the most direct and undeniable spiritual shift. But let’s be real—this practice can’t be sustained for long periods because the physical body has its limits.

The Reality of Sustaining the Awakened State

Since the body has limitations, the next question is: How to sustain this awakening without frequent practice?

Here’s what I have learned:

Shifting From Physical to Mental Practice

Once the meditation image is fully alive in Sahasrara, one doesn’t always need the physical act.

Instead of restarting from Linga-Yoni, one can begin directly in Sahasrara and tap into the same energy state.

Energy Memory Activation

Every practice leaves a deeper imprint in the system. Meditation image linked to awakening adds up to this memory. But I just can’t do it that’s why I take help of kriya breathing. It’s a well balanced approach.

Over time, just recalling the experience can trigger the same state without any physical stimulation. However it seems remote or difficult without taking help of kriyas.

Letting the Energy Circulate in Daily Life

Instead of letting the world unconsciously bring energy down, I consciously direct it. I have made myself the controller of mine, not the world.

A soft Ujjayi breath during normal activities can keep the higher state subtly active in the background. Instead of it, holographic sharirvigyan darshan is enough for me.

Despite this, in today’s chaotic world, purely mental activation without a physical trigger is difficult. That’s why a flexible approach is the most realistic—adapting between Tantra and Kriya based on the situation.

What I Haven’t Achieved Yet & What I Believe Is Possible

I won’t make exaggerated claims. I have held the awakened like state for long time, but the world eventually pulls it down.

I have also realized that Kriya alone can achieve the same awakening—if done for countless hours and repetitions. But in today’s chaotic era, that’s unrealistic. That’s why my practical approach is:

✔ Generate and refine energy with Tantra when possible. ✔ Use Kriya to refine and lift it. ✔ Adapt based on life’s situations.

Through all of this, I’ve realized something important:

✔ Rigid methods don’t work. ✔ Tantra alone is not healthy and social. Kriya alone is not enough. ✔ A mix of both—based on the situation—is the fastest, strongest, and most practical path.

This is not just theory. This is my own lived experience. And I can say without a doubt—this path works.

Kundalini, Bliss, Breath, and Non-Duality: A Natural Unfolding

I have observed something interesting in my practice—when I meditate on Sharirvigyan Darshan, a sense of non-duality arises. As soon as this happens, my breath becomes long and stable. It feels as if the breath is flowing to nourish this non-dual awareness. It seems rapid external and irregular breath happen only to sustain duality to keep one bound in the world.

During Kevala Kumbhaka, my breath became rapid yet internal, with only about 5% felt externally. It wasn’t stressful. It seemed to move through the backbone, though not entirely clear.

One day, I maintained non-dual awareness the whole day while fully engaged in a stressful work environment. In the evening, while waiting for a bus in the rain shelter, I lightly meditated on Kutastha. Something remarkable happened, probably Keval kumbhak—the state remained unbroken for two hours during the journey. I had to intentionally step out of it to walk home. Yet, this experience hasn’t repeated in the same way. Yes, the same thing happened again after a day or two in the same situation. The same thing happened third time again after a day or two when I was at home and my family members, out of fear, forcibly woke me up after a short time. This means that in those days, my special nature was formed which was conducive to this. I became surrendered to the unknown, perhaps after facing the worldly blows. Meaning, surrender is very important. Along with it, knowledgeable life behavior is also necessary.

Still, a subtle transformation is happening. My practice isn’t about chasing peak states anymore. Instead, there’s a natural continuation of previous insights, leading to a deeper understanding of Pranayama and how non-duality shifts between active and passive modes. Means, first nonduality practiced willingly, now it’s something becoming second habit.

At times, even subtle attention is needed to sustain this, and in the competitive world, I sometimes feel a perceptual mismatch. Earlier, I lived in full worldliness and full non-duality together, but it was little stressful. We can’t call it stress actually as it was providing relief. Yes, we can call it more energy demanding. Now, with age and medical factors, my energy is different, and I let things flow naturally rather than force balance.

Breath and Prana: What’s Really Happening?

During Kriya breathing, when my belly moves forward, it feels as if Prana is being sucked up from Muladhara, and breath follows passively. It seems the main role of breath is to flow Prana, not the other way around. Instead of controlling breath, Prana is naturally leading the process. The proof is, how the body lives during keval kumbhak when the breath goes to stop. Earlier I used to think if breathing control prana. I used to simply breath, ignoring prana movement through spine. Now kriya yoga showed me other way round means prana breathing that seems more fulfilling. Although my natural instinct had made me get prana breathing through sexual yoga itself since beginning in the name of raising kundalini shakti up from muladhar that probably helped in my glimpse awakening. Say prana breathing or raising up kundalini or raising up prana, it’s the same thing and there’s similar pull and push of body, breath, bandhas or whatever. It’s Web of words on which we have to walk home means purpose safely without falling instead getting support of it. When I see upward through kutastha in Shambhavi mudra during in breathing, the satisfying in breath deepens and become more fulfilling and filling my body vessel up to crown. It’s other proof that breath follow prana. Attention upward means prana upward. Attention or meditation and prana coexist together.

During worldly actions full of duality our awareness or prana rapidly goes swinging between upper and lower chakra areas. Upper chakras are full of light and lower chakras are dark. Also different chakras deal with different worldly feelings. Duality is also made up of mixture of light and dark and their different shades as per situation. Rapidly Up -down moving prana force breathing up down rapidly to take assistance from it in its rapid shifting. At this swinging moment a little meditation on sharirvigyan darshan brings immediate nonduality amazingly and there’s instant long, satisfying and blissful gasp of a breath, subsequently it becoming regular, slow and little deeper. This all proves interconnected nature of breath and prana. You yourself can also feel it. That’s why I think pranayam was designed thinking if nonduality can stabilise breathing then stabilizing breath can also produce nonduality.

This prana breathing brings a blissful, satisfying, and fulfilling experience. The bliss isn’t just abstract—it has a sexual quality, rising from the lower centers and converging into the meditation image in the brain, agya chakra and sahasraar chakra. Instead of dissipating outward, it fuels meditation, confirming that Prana-Shakti is sublimating naturally.

Beyond meditation, I’ve noticed that bliss spreads through my whole being after:

Physical asanas

Traveling to beautiful places, especially with family

Engaging in the world with non-dual awareness

From Effort to Flow

Earlier, bliss was localized in the spine and brain, but now, as non-duality removes resistance, bliss flows through the whole body. Stability has increased. I no longer need to hold onto bliss—it flows effortlessly.

Still, I recognize there’s more to refine. I haven’t reached an irreversible state like Sahaja Samadhi, and I remain aware that stability in daily life is an ongoing process. But the path is clearer now—non-duality isn’t something to force always, although seems to be must do in starting learning days, but something that naturally unfolds when resistance dissolves.

Is a Glimpse of Enlightenment the Highest Experience?

Is there anything higher than a glimpse of enlightenment for a living being? If someone has tasted it, has he reached the ultimate peak? The answer is—no. A glimpse is like touching the summit for a moment, but true fulfillment comes only when one can stay there. After such a glimpse, one must return to their natural state, which is liberation or Samadhi.

Does Liberation Bring Greater Bliss Than Enlightenment’s Glimpse?

In a moment of enlightenment, prana fuels the experience, making it intense and extraordinary. But this surge is bound by the body’s limitations. In Samadhi, this energy is balanced, effortless, and eternal. The bliss may not feel as explosive, but it never fades. A lightning bolt may be brighter than the sun for a moment, but the sun never stops shining.

Will Someone Regret Missing the Glimpse If They Attain Liberation Directly?

If someone reaches Samadhi without ever having a glimpse of enlightenment, will they feel like they missed something? Perhaps, yes. That’s why it is said—before liberation, experience the peak of love, surrender, and devotion. Bhakti, romance, and deep connection give birth to that glimpse. It may last only a moment, but it ensures that Samadhi is not just a silent void—it becomes a state filled with love, bliss, and completeness.

Why a Glimpse Is Worth Experiencing

I truly believe that at least once in a lifetime, a glimpse of enlightenment is worth having. It may be brief, but it changes everything. Without it, Samadhi may feel like an absence rather than a presence. Love, devotion, and a deep sense of connection prepare the ground for it. After all, what is the point of reaching the peak if you have never felt the thrill of climbing?

The Illusion of Completion

For a long time, I lived under the subtle illusion that after experiencing a fleeting glimpse of enlightenment, I had attained everything. That single moment felt so complete, so overwhelming, that I mistook it for the final destination. But life, with its trials and lessons—especially through the lens of sharirvigyan darshan—revealed a deeper truth. That glimpse was not the end, but merely the beginning. The journey is far from over, and the path ahead is longer than I once believed.

Direct Awakening Through Kutastha: My Experience

Many say working with chakras and the spine is necessary for spiritual progress, but Kriya yoga Guru Mukherjee’s words struck me deeply—only concentrating on Kutastha (the spiritual eye) leads to salvation. He claimed that focusing on chakras for eons won’t bring liberation. I now understand why.

From the very beginning, I forced energy into Kutastha using Tantra. Or should I say, I meditated directly in the brain. I did not have any special knowledge and experience of chakras at that time. After awakening, I worked lightly on chakras but never let energy linger there. This led to a quick awakening. Unlike traditional methods that ascend gradually, my approach bypassed stages and reached the threshold directly. When energy wasn’t dissipated into chakras or the spine, the shift happened swiftly.

Yet, awakening came with a new challenge—balance. At that time I had become detached from worldly affairs. Deep and heavy work used to inflame meditation image in the mind along with pleasure. It used to increase the pressure in the mind and of course pleasure also. However, I used to get great help from leftist tantra (mainly yin-yang type) to control it. My energy naturally moves up and down now, but staying grounded is necessary. For this, I practice chakra meditation daily. I hold my breath on each chakra, visualizing its color, grain, and bija mantra, moving from top to bottom. Without Tantra, grounding takes a little time; with it, it happens instantly.

I’ve heard of many grounding techniques, but I only explore them for research, not necessity. My system stabilizes well with Tantra and chakra meditation. This direct method works for me. The key insight? Salvation happens when energy fully settles in Kutastha without dispersing. Focusing elsewhere delays it.

For those seeking the fastest route—aim for Kutastha, stabilize with chakra meditation, and use Tantra when needed. Awakening is simple when you don’t overcomplicate the path.

Kundalini yoga teaches the art of dying

Friends, there is a famous saying that by practicing continuously, even a fool becomes wise and skilled. All people are fools when it comes to attaining salvation. So, can salvation be attained effortlessly by practicing Kundalini yoga continuously? Let us analyze it in this post.

I was reading the introduction to Purana Purush. It was written in it that how did a householder yogi, known to the author, die? At the last moment, he had focused his life exactly in the middle of the eyebrows. Due to this, there was a strong vibration there. Then he breathed his last there. It was believed that he was liberated. That same Agya Chakra has been called Ram Dwara. In common parlance, the death that people used to mention at Ramdwara was the Agya Chakra itself.

Now the question is that at the last moment, when all the senses become devoid of knowledge, how can one focus the life of the body on the Agya Chakra? I think this happened on its own, through lifelong practice. Science also shows that the blood circulation of the body keeps on shifting from non-essential organs to essential organs. Then this should happen even without yoga. It does happen. Whether one does yoga or not, blood circulation gives importance to the brain. Agya Chakra is one of the main parts of the brain, and is the most effective point in the path of the main nerve of the body. But such vibration is not seen in everyone. It is seen only in Yogis. It seems that blood circulation is automatically controlled by itself. There is no need to be aware or experienced about it. But to make Nadi Sanchar more effective, one has to be aware of it. Meaning, one has to experience it. Although Nadi Sanchar keeps happening at the basic level even without experience. It is due to it that the body remains active. But to raise it to the level of providing liberation, its experience has to be increased. Blood circulation cannot do all the work. It certainly supplies all the necessary substances to the cells for their work, but it is the nerve circulation that motivates the cells to work by using them. Perhaps this nadi circulation is called Prana. If we place material for building a house in front of a person, he will not immediately start building the house. He will have to be motivated to work using that material. This motivating work is done through nadi circulation. You all know that for liberation, it is necessary for all the thoughts suppressed in the mind to manifest in the soul. This is what happens in the witness state. That is why there is a feeling of liberation from it. We certainly experience all the previous suppressed thoughts in the soul in the witness state, but the new thoughts that are suppressed after that are enough to put us in bondage. At the time of death, because all the senses become inactive, the new world cannot be experienced, meaning new thoughts cannot be formed and suppressed in the mind. In such a situation, if all the old suppressed thoughts are experienced in the soul even once due to the great circulation of Prana in the brain, then there should be no doubt about liberation. It is written in the scriptures that if the name of God is taken or he is remembered at the time of death, then one attains salvation. It is also written in many places that this can be done only if there is a lifelong practice. This practice points towards Kundalini Yoga practice. Because the common practice will not be useful at that time. That is because all the senses will be almost dead. How can anything be thought through them. Those almost dead inner senses can come to life only if a strong wave of life force shakes them. Right now because the blood circulation would have shifted from the external senses like eyes, ears etc. to the internal senses like mind and intellect. That blood circulation will also not be so much that it can provide sufficient nutrition to the nervous system there. In such a situation, only the strong wave of life force rising from the Mooladhara can make it active.

Then it is said that whatever a man thinks about in his last moments, he becomes that in his next life. Jad Bharat thought about a deer, so he became a deer. Perhaps this thinking is solitary thinking which happens due to lack of prana. Attachment or credit intelligence remains towards only one mental picture. That is why one gets the same kind of birth. But due to the powerful vibration of prana coming from the Mooladhar, all the mental pictures are felt together and become calm in the soul. Then there is no attachment to any particular picture. This gives liberation. Either do not get attached to anyone or do it with everyone. The result of both is the same, detachment. Either do not remember anyone at the time of death, or remember everyone. The thing is the same. But this does not happen because the ordinary prana will make you remember someone or the other. The kundalini power flowing in the Sushumna is so powerful that it makes you experience everything together. Perhaps this is its basic principle.

But death does not always come so comfortably that it gives the thoughts a chance to merge with the soul. Premature death occurs suddenly. In today’s modern, mechanical, polluted, war-ridden and disease-ridden era, it occurs more often. Earlier it was considered very inauspicious and an obstacle to salvation. It was even believed that the soul would wander without a body for a long time. That is why it was said that one should always be spiritually prepared for death so that even if untimely death comes, one can still get salvation. Such preparation can be done only by daily Kundalini Yoga practice.

When I had corona, I used to feel the transmission of prana through my back, which was probably to fight the disease. In those days I was not even able to do Kundali Yoga. Thoughts were emerging very peacefully and merging into the soul. Perhaps it happens that when the practice of yoga is missed, the accustomed body tries to do that yoga on its own. Perhaps this is why pranayama and yoga are considered liberating. Countless yogis have tested it for centuries.

कुंडलिनी योग के बिना सभी आध्यात्मिक तकनीकें और विधियां अधूरी हैं

सभी दोस्तों को क्रिसमिस की हार्दिक बधाइयां

दोस्तों! कुंडलिनी योग एक रहस्यमय विद्या है। इसे जितना ज्यादा खंगाला जाए, उतने ही इससे नए-नए अर्थ निकलते रहते हैं। इसकी खोज कभी खत्म नहीं होती। शायद यह इसलिए है क्योंकि यह अनंत से जुड़ा है। अनंत की खोज भी कभी पूरी नहीं होती। अन्य सभी भौतिक दुनियादारी से संबंधित विद्याएं उसी की भांति सीमित हैं और उसी की तरह अंत को प्राप्त हो जाती हैं।

राजयोग वाले कहते हैं कि मन से ध्यान ही सर्वश्रेष्ठ है। शरीर से साधना गौण है? भक्ति योग वाले कहते हैं कि शरीर की परवाह न करो, बस मन भगवान में लगाकर रखो। ज्ञान योग वाले कहते हैं कि बस अपने आपको ब्रह्म समझते हुऎ जीवन बिताओ, बाकि चीजों के चक्कर में ना पड़ो। कर्मयोग की वकालत करने वाले कहते हैं कि कर्म ही योग है। अलग से योग या कुंडलिनी योग करने की जरूरत नहीं है। तप की वकालत करने वाले कहते हैं कि तप से ही पाप नष्ट होते हैं जिससे मुक्ति मिलती है। पर मुझे तो कुंडलिनी योग के बिना सभी योग अधूरे लगते हैं। वह इसलिए क्योंकि शक्ति का मूल स्रोत शरीर ही है। मन में कहीं आसमान से गिरकर शक्ति नहीं आ जाती। शरीर ही मन को शक्ति प्रदान करता है। मन को शक्ति के लिए शरीर के आश्रित रहना ही पड़ता है। फिर शरीर को शक्ति पैदा करने के लिए और उसे मन को प्रदान करने के लिए कुंडलिनी योग करना ही पड़ता है।

मन की शक्ति के बिना राजयोग का ध्यान कैसे कर पाएंगे? चंद मिनिटों या सेकंडों में ही ध्यान चित्र मन से गायब हो जाएगा। हफ्तों या दिनों तक लगातर तो लग गया। जब तक लगातर महीनों तक प्रगाढ़ ध्यान नहीं बना रहेगा, तब तक कैसे सोए विचारों के रूप में पाप भस्म होंगे, और कैसे कुंडलिनी जागरण होगा। बस होगा तो सिर्फ ध्यान का ढोंग और दिखावा। मन की शक्ति के बिना भक्ति योग भी कैसे कर पाएंगे। भक्ति भी एक प्रकार से ध्यान ही है। इष्ट देवता या गुरु का ध्यान ही है। ज्ञान योग के ममले में भी मन की शक्ति के बिना आदमी अपने आपको ब्रह्म कैसे समझ पाएगा। यह समझ विचारों से पैदा होती है और विचार शक्ति से पैदा होते हैं। कर्म योग से मान लिया कि विचारों का कचरा शांत होता है। उससे भी मन में ध्यान चित्र ही मजबूत होता है। पर अगर आदमी कर्मयोग के बाद कर्म से थोड़ा उपरत होकर कुंडलिनी योग नहीं करेेगा तो उस कुंडलिनी चित्र को जागने की शक्ति कैसे मिलेगी। अगर आदमी हमेशा कर्मयोग में ही लगा रहेगा तो एक ध्यान चित्र थोड़ा मजबूत होगा और फिर शांत हो जाएगा। उसकी जगह पर कोई नया ध्यान चित्र आ जाएगा। वह भी थोड़ा मजबूत होगा और फिर शांत हो जाएगा। या विरले मामलों में वही ध्यान चित्र हल्की स्मृति के रूप में उम्रभर बना रहेगा। इस तरह यह सिलसिला चलता रहेगा पर कोई भी ध्यान चित्र जाग नहीं पाएगा। मतलब कुंडलिनी जागरण नहीं होगा। तप से शरीर में शक्ति का संचय होता है। पर अगर उसे कुंडलिनी योग से मन को प्रदान नहीं किया जाएगा तो तप से क्या आध्यात्मिक लाभ मिलेगा। फिर तो तप एक ढोंग मात्र बनकर रह जाएगा।

अगर कोई भी आध्यात्मिक तकनीक अपनाई जाए पर उसके साथ कुंडलिनी योग ना किया जाए तो पूर्ण फल नहीं मिलेगा। पर अगर कुछ भी न किया जाए और सिर्फ कुंडलिनी योग ही किया जाए, फिर भी पूर्ण आध्यात्मिक लाभ की संभावना बन जाती है। वह इसलिए क्योंकि मन का स्वभाव है कि वह हमेशा विकसित होकर परमात्मा की तरफ ही जाता है। जब मन को शक्ति मिलेगी तो वह खुद ही किसी भी तरीके से परमात्मा की तरफ जाने की पूरी कोशिश करेेगा। मन परमात्मा का अंश है और वह उसमें ही जुड़कर उससे ही एकाकार होना चाहता है। कुंडलिनी योग के साथ अगर और भी आध्यात्मिक तकनीकें अपनाई जाएं तब तो और भी अच्छा है, और वह सोने पे सुहागे वाली बात है।

Kundalini yoga is the must have ingredient with all the spiritual techniques and methods

Merry Christmas to all friends

Friends! Kundalini Yoga is a mysterious knowledge. The more it is explored, the more new meanings keep emerging from it. Its search never ends. Perhaps this is because it is connected to the infinite. The search for the infinite is also never complete. All other knowledge related to the material world are limited like it and are prone to ending.

Those who practice Raja Yoga say that meditation with the mind is the best. Sadhana with the body is secondary. Those who practice Bhakti Yoga say that do not worry about the body, just keep the mind focused on God. Those who practice Gyan Yoga say that just live your life considering yourself as Brahma and do not get involved in other things. Those who advocate Karma Yoga say that Karma is Yoga. There is no need to do Yoga or Kundalini Yoga separately. Those who advocate Tapasya say that only Tapasya destroys sins, which leads to salvation. But to me all yogas seem incomplete without Kundalini yoga. That is because the body is the main source of power. Power does not fall from the sky into the mind. It is the body that provides power to the mind. The mind has to depend on the body for power. Then in order for the body to generate power and provide it to the mind, Kundalini yoga has to be done.

How will you be able to meditate on Rajayoga without the power of the mind? Within a few minutes or seconds, the image of meditation will disappear from the mind. How will it take weeks or days to do so? Unless deep meditation is maintained for months, how will the sins in the form of sleeping thoughts be destroyed and how will the Kundalini awaken? It will just be a pretense and show of meditation. How will you be able to do Bhakti Yoga without the power of the mind? Bhakti is also a form of meditation. It is the meditation of the deity or the Guru. In the case of Gyan Yoga also, without the power of the mind, how will a man be able to understand himself as Brahma. This understanding is born from thoughts and thoughts are born from power. Similarly, it is accepted that the garbage of thoughts is pacified by Karma Yoga. It also strengthens the meditation image in the mind. But if a person does not do Kundalini Yoga by detaching himself from Karma after Karma Yoga, then how will that Kundalini image get the power to awaken. If a person always remains engaged in Karma Yoga, then a meditation image will become a little stronger and then it will become calm. In its place, a new meditation image will come. That too will become a little stronger and then it will become calm. Or in rare cases the same meditation image will remain as a faint memory for a lifetime. This way, this cycle will continue but no meditation image will be able to awaken. It means that Kundalini will not awaken. Power is accumulated in the body by Tapasya. But if it is not provided to the mind by Kundalini Yoga, then what spiritual benefit will be derived from Tapasya. Then Tapasya will remain just a pretense.

If any spiritual technique is adopted but Kundalini Yoga is not done along with it, then the full result will not be obtained. But if nothing is done and only Kundalini Yoga is done, then still there is a possibility of full spiritual benefit. That is because the nature of the mind is that it always develops and moves towards God. When the mind gets power, it will try its best to go towards God in any way. The mind is a part of God and it wants to join Him and become one with Him. If other spiritual techniques are adopted along with Kundalini Yoga, then it is even better and it is like icing on the cake.

Kundalini Yoga balances the prana, which keeps the body healthy

Prana is considered to be in the chest. It is considered to be the most important because it helps in breathing. If there is breath, there is life. The word prana is formed by combining two words, Pra and Aan. Pra means first or chief and Aan means coming or flow of power. Apan is considered to be below the navel. It is connected to Swadhisthana and Muladhara Chakras. Anyway, all the pranas are connected to some chakra or the other. Its work is waste excretion. It also helps in sexual intercourse. Udana is located above the chest. This word is formed by the combination of ut and aan. Ut means above. This means that the prana power going upwards is Udana. All these pranas are connected to each other. First of all, the man takes a deep breath from the navel. This activates the samana prana there. The name samana is because the energy of the food produced with its help is distributed equally throughout the body. Due to the activity of Samana Prana, the Upa Prana named Krikal also gets activated, which makes us feel hungry. There are five Upa Pranas too, which help in the activities of Pranas. This entire body is filled with Pranas. Due to the activity of Samana, Vyana Prana also gets activated there. The word Vya of Vyana gives a sense of pervasiveness. It means that this Prana is spread in every vein and every cell of the entire body. It is actually connected to blood circulation. By focusing on the navel, blood circulation will definitely increase there, as it is a rule that the blood flow increases at the place of meditation. Then the blood reaches every cell. This activates the Vyana spread there. Then the work of releasing digestive enzymes from the cells, absorbing the digested food in the blood and sending it to the entire body starts. Some part of samana becomes apana that propels undigested food down to excretion. When majority of digestion has happened, the majority of Samana Prana of the navel comes to the chest and starts giving strength to the breath and the heart. It means it starts functioning as main Prana. Udana Prana helps that Samana Prana to rise upwards. It is also felt as it rises through the back. Breath starts flowing from the chest. That is why after the food is digested, a person gets stressed due to the worry of work. And he wants to work hard until the next hunger strikes. This happens due to breathing from the chest. Food is coming to the whole body and one feels like working. Then the person gets tired of work and starts taking some rest. At that time his Prana starts rising upwards in the form of Udana. This gives strength to the Vishuddhi Chakra, speech associated with it, Agya Chakra, thoughts associated with it, due to which the person gossips or starts strutting in thoughts. Then the person rests and starts sleeping. At that time his Udana Prana descends down and comes to Swadhisthana and Mooladhar and becomes Apana. Then after waking up from sleep, his stress ends, due to which breath starts flowing from the navel automatically. Peace or sleep and breathing from the navel, both are interconnected. By doing one, the other starts happening automatically. Due to this, Apana rises upwards and becomes samana again. This makes us feel hungry again. This way the cycle continues again and again.

All the pranas keep the body balanced by uniting and helping each other. By Kundalini Yoga, we can balance the entire body clearly and abundantly at one go by focusing the pranas on all the chakras. Otherwise, this process keeps going on itself day and night at a slow pace without our knowledge. If there is any imbalance in it, then it gets balanced by Kundalini Yoga. That is why it is said that Kundalini Yoga helps in preventing diseases and in curing them if they occur. Most of the diseases arise from imbalance in the body.

All this description is only to create interest in Kundalini Yoga. There is not much need for it in practice. But today’s logic-oriented society should also keep getting some nourishment. By doing simple yoga, asanas and pranayama, the entire body automatically remains balanced. Then the worldly affairs related to it will also remain balanced, what doubt can there be in this? The car will run even if you know about its parts, and it will run even if you don’t. Yes, a person who knows about its parts will service them on time and make the car run better.

कुंडलीनी योग से प्राण संतुलित हो जाते हैं, जिससे शरीर स्वस्थ रहता है

वैसे प्राण को छाती में माना जाता है। इसे सबसे मुख्य इसलिए माना जाता है, क्योंकि यह श्वास प्रश्वास में मदद करता है। सांस है तो जीवन है। प्र और आन, दो शब्दों से मिलकर शब्द प्राण बना है। प्र का मतलब प्रथम या प्रमुख और आन का मतलब आना या शक्ति का संचार होता है। अपान को नाभि के नीचे माना जाता है। यह स्वाधिष्ठान और मूलाधार चक्रों से जुड़ा है। वैसे भी सभी प्राण किसी न किसी चक्र से जुड़े होते हैं। इसका काम अपशिष्ट उत्सर्जन है। यह संभोग में भी मदद करता है। उदान छाती से ऊपर के हिस्से में रहता है। यह शब्द उत् और आन के मेल से बना है। उत् का मतलब ऊपर होता है। मतलब ऊपर जाने वाली प्राण शक्ति उदान है। ये सभी प्राण आपस में जुड़े होते हैं। सबसे पहले आदमी नाभि से गहरी सांस लेता है। इससे वहां समान प्राण सक्रिय हो जता है। समान नाम इसलिए है क्योंकि इसकी सहायता से उत्पन्न भोजन की ऊर्जा पूरे शरीर में समान रूप से वितरित की जाती है। समान प्राण की क्रियाशीलता से कृकल नाम का उपप्राण भी सक्रिय हो जाता है, जिससे भूख लगती है। उपप्राण भी पांच हैं, जो प्राणों की क्रियाओं में सहयोग करते हैं। यह पूरा शरीर प्राणों से भरा हुआ है। समान की सक्रियता से व्यान प्राण भी वहां सक्रिय हो जाता है। व्यान का व्य शब्द व्यापकता का बोध कराता है। मतलब यह प्राण पूरे शरीर की नस नस में और हर एक कोशिका में फैला है। यह वास्तव में रक्त संचार से जुड़ा है। नाभि पर ध्यान जाने से वहां रक्त संचार तो बढ़ेगा ही, जैसा कि नियम है कि ध्यान वाली जगह पर खून का प्रवाह बढ़ जाता है। फिर रक्त तो हर एक कोशिका तक पहुंचता है। इससे वहां फैला व्यान सक्रिय हो जाता है। फिर तो कोशिकाओं से पाचक एंजाइम का निकलना, पचे हुऎ भोजन को रक्त में अवशोषित करना और उसे पूरे शरीर में भेजने का काम शुरु हो जाता है। कुछ समान प्राण अनपचे अपशिष्ट पदार्थ को नीचे धकेलने और गुदा मार्ग से बाहर निकालने के लिए अपान प्राण बन जाता है। पाचन का ज्यादातर काम हो जाने पर नाभि का अधिकांश समान प्राण छाती पर आकर श्वास और हृदय को शक्ति देने लगता है। मतलब समान प्राण मुख्य प्राण के रूप में कार्य करने लगता है। उदान प्राण उस समान प्राण को ऊपर चढ़ने में मदद करता है। यह पीठ से ऊपर चढ़ते हुऎ महसूस भी होता है। सांस छाती से चलने लगती है। इसीलिए तो खाना पच जाने के बाद आदमी काम की चिंता से तनाव जैसे में आ जाता है। और अगली भूख लगने तक खूब काम करना चाहता है। ऐसा छाती से सांस चलने से होता है। पूरे शरीर में भोजन आ जा रहा होता है और काम करने को मन करता है। फिर आदमी काम से थक कर थोड़ा विश्राम करने लगता है। उस समय उसका प्राण उदान बनकर ऊपर चढ़ने लगता है। इससे विशुद्धि चक्र, उससे जुड़ी वाणी, आज्ञा चक्र , उससे जुड़े चिंतन को शक्ति मिलती है, जिससे आदमी गप्पें हांकता है या ख्यालों में डूबने इतराने लगता है। फिर आदमी सुस्ता कर सोने लगता है। उस समय उसका उदान प्राण नीचे उतरकर स्वाधिष्ठान और मूलाधार में आकर अपान बन जाता है। फिर सो कर जागने के बाद उसका तनाव खत्म हो जाता है, जिससे सांस खुद ही नाभि से चलने लगती है। शांति या नींद और नाभि से सांस, दोनों आपस में जुड़े हैं। एक को करने से दूसरा खुद ही होने लगता है। इससे अपान ऊपर चढ़कर फिर से समान बन जता है। इससे पुनः भूख लगती है। इस तरह यह चक्र पुनः पुनः चलता रहता है।

सभी प्राण आपस में मिलकर और एक दूसरे की मदद करके शरीर को संतुलित बनाकर रखते हैं। कुंडलिनी योग से हम सभी चक्रों पर प्राणों को केंद्रित करने से एक बार में एक साथ ही पूरे शरीर को स्पष्ट और प्रचुर तौर पर संतुलित कर लेते हैं। अन्यथा यह प्रक्रिया हमारी जानकारी के बिना ही धीमी गति से दिन रात खुद ही चलती रहती है। कभी अगर इसमें असंतुलन हो जाए तो कुंडलिनी योग से यह संतुलित हो जाती है। इसीलिए कहते हैं कि कुंडलिनी योग रोगों से बचाव में व हो जाने पर उन्हें दूर करने में सहयोग करता है। ज्यादातर रोग शरीर में असंतुलन से ही पैदा होते हैं।

यह सारा विवरण तो कुंडलिनी योग में रुचि पैदा करने के लिए ही है। व्यवहार में इसकी ज्यादा जरूरत नहीं पड़ती। पर क्या है कि आजकल के तर्कप्रधान समाज को भी कुछ खुराक मिलती रहनी चाहिए। सीधा योग, आसन और प्राणायाम करते रहने से पूरा शरीर स्वचालित रूप से खुद ही संतुलित बना रहता है। फिर उससे जुड़ी दुनियादारी भी संतुलित ही बनी रहेगी, इसमें भला क्या संदेह हो सकता है। गाड़ी के पुर्जों की जानकारी होगी तब भी गाड़ी चलेगी, और अगर नहीं होगी तब भी चलेगी। हां पुर्जों की जानकारी रखने वाला आदमी उनकी समयवार सर्विस करके गाड़ी को ज्यादा अच्छे से चलाएगा।

Kundalini yoga teaches us to control our breaths

Friends, during Kundalini yoga, when we take long and slow breaths through pranayama, then a sense of witnessing the thoughts arises, which reduces stress. Inspired by this, we try to reduce our stress by taking long and slow breaths even in the midst of worldly affairs throughout the day. There are mainly three types of breaths. One is the breath from the stomach, which focuses the prana on the navel chakra. One is the breath from the chest, which strikes the prana on the anahata chakra. There is a very shallow breath, which puts the prana on the vishudhi chakra. You must have noticed that when you are emotionally hurt or active, the breath starts coming from the chest. When you eat and drink too much, the breath starts coming from the navel. This is yogic breath. That is why after a full meal of delicious food, there is great joy, especially if you are also traveling. Traveling increases the sense of witnessing. During a lot of talking, one feels suffocated because the breath is shallow and only up to the throat. That is why after talking a lot of nonsense, a person starts panting with long breaths. When we do chakra meditation, we breathe according to the chakra so that we can meditate properly on the chakra. By understanding this secret, we can control the action through breath during work. If we have spoken too much or have established too much emotional connection, then we start breathing from the stomach. This brings speech and emotion under control. If we start becoming too calm, stress-free and silent, then we start breathing from the chest. This creates a little tension, which is necessary in some amount to survive in worldly affairs and competition. Some breath rises above the chest and reaches the throat.

Breath from the chest rises to all the upper chakras, because while breathing from the chest the shoulders are raised upwards. That is why it is said that Prana remains above the navel. Apana remains below the navel. When we breathe from the stomach, some Prana seems to descend to Swadhisthana Chakra and Mooladhar Chakra. However, from there it again directly ascends to the Ajna Chakra and Sahasrar Chakra through the Sushumna. But it does give strength to the lower part of the body, which is the main work of Apana. Such things seem very complex on the surface. But if we understand them calmly and deeply, then everything is as simple as child’s play. This is the specialty of spiritualism. There is nothing complicated in this. You just need an open heart and a thoughtful and creative mind to understand. The other three main pranas are Vyana, Udana and Samana. These too will be understood gradually. There you go, we know about Samana Prana. It is considered to be the prana of the navel. By breathing on the navel, prana spreads evenly throughout the body, as we have mentioned above. Some part of it goes to Swadhisthana and Muladhara Chakra, which becomes Apana. It again ascends from there, and becomes Prana. A little part of it also ascends directly from the navel chakra. We will discuss the rest in the next post.
