faith – Demystifying Kundalini

A few days ago, while on my evening walk after an early dinner, I stopped at a fellow’s shop to sit for a while. His neighbour, who runs a gosadan (cow shelter), and known to me since few months had recently broken his arm when a herd of cattle rushed toward the gate, breaking it while he was leaning on it. I had come there to offer sympathy and a helping hand, but he was not there at that moment. A few months earlier, his 14‑year‑old son had passed away from a rare disease.

I had often noticed a mysterious dark mixed glow in this man’s eyes. Despite his suffering, he is a devout follower of Lord Shiva and every year he, along with his entire team, arranges food (langar) for pilgrims during the month‑long Manimahesh Yatra in the hills.

While sitting there, I said to the shopkeeper that perhaps the neighbour was under bad stars or some evil influence and that he might visit a nearby city yoga guru to remove this effect. The shopkeeper immediately denied the efficacy of yoga for removing evil spirits.

I told him, “I have myself evaded such a spirit.”
He asked, “How?”

I explained: “Whenever that spirit tries to come in my dream, my guru appears there and tells it to leave me and come to him. I simply put my dhyana on my guru and pray for the peace and liberation of that spirit. It is not evil, but who would want to frequently encounter something paranormal?”

Hearing this, he softened a little.
Then he asked, “Who is your guru?”

I replied, “It should not be told to anyone.”
He asked again, “But it must have some form?”

I said, “Yes. Sometimes my guru appears as my Dadaji, sometimes as Shiva, and sometimes as Narayana, depending on the situation.”

Hearing this, and being himself a member of the Manimahesh team, he began speaking as if he knew more. He said, “Shiva cannot be worshipped. Shiva is Mahakaal. He doesn’t save, he destroys as per one’s Karma. One can become Shiva but can’t worship him. One has to become Shiva to gain benefit.”

I wondered silently: How can one become one’s favourite deity without first admiring, honouring, and worshipping it?

Then he added, “Only a Satguru can save from evil spirits, not others.”

Again, I reflected: He first opposed yoga but now he praises the Satguru — and a Satguru becomes functional only through yoga and dhyana.

That small conversation once again highlighted for me the importance of open discussion to grow and to deepen understanding.

What are the human problems

Problems of people that are superficial or unreal, and which do not harm themselves or others, are called humanitarian problems. For example, one realizes the problem of breaking up of a relationship. Although the reality is that his love affair had never started. Premyogi vajra had a similar surprising feeling, which helped him to experience momentary self-awakening.

We take another example of fasting. That sounds like a problem to us, but in reality it is not. Along with body and mind, fasting also provides energy to the Kundalini.

The problem for humanity is also a human problem

Spiritual activities like chanting, penance, yoga etc. are good examples of this. To bear the problem for the country, society, human religion, family etc. is a human problem. The more people become benefitted from goodness, purity and intensity of the problem, the better will be its humanity.

What happens with human problem

A man with a human problem starts loving humanity . He starts loving all humans. The image of a special human being (Guru, Friend, Dev etc.) starts residing in his mind. With time, that image becomes a Kundalini. The same happened with Premyogi vajra. Due to his hyperactivity running under the influence of physiology philosophy, the image of that spiritual old man was confirmed in his mind .

How Kundalini develops due to human problem

When Kundalini becomes very strong in one’s mind, then there comes a time when he breaks due to a double burden of work and Kundalini. In such a situation, as soon as any major problem comes in his way, he surrenders completely to Kundalini, and becomes dependent on Kundalini. With this, his Kundalini becomes active.

How then activated Kundalini is awakened

After the Kundalini becomes active in a problem-filled man, his mental depression decreases, and his pleasure/bliss increases. This increases his faith in Kundalini, and he feels that it is his Kundalini that protects him from all problems. Then he starts studying and practicing the yoga type literature. This keeps his knowledge and practice related to yoga moving forward. Eventually, his Kundalini is awakened.

How Premyogi Vajra got the escape velocity for his Kundalini from his problem

Premyogi vajra was broken, physically as well as mentally, by the human problems being received under the influence of physiology philosophy, various human activities and the burden of non-duality/Kundalini all together. His memory was also reduced significantly. Although his mind had felt an increase in joy/bliss and peace. Then he got the opportunity to live in a picturesque place with family in peace that was too far away from his home. He bought a state-of-the-art and very expensive vehicle to travel from home to there. He did not get a driver seat comfort in that. He was very sorry, but what had to happen, that had been done. In order to handle himself, he started meditating his kundalini while completely surrendering himself fully in front of her. With this, his Kundalini started glowing, and his anxiety almost ended. Convinced of this, he started learning and practicing yoga with the help of e-books, paper books, internet and friends. Due to this, his Kundalini became very strong in a year. In the last one month of his that practice, she awoke when he took the help of sexual yoga. After that he got used to his car, and came to know that his car’s comfort was more than that of other vehicles. This means that his problem was not real, but it was unreal, which was born in him to awaken his Kundalini.

Surrender to kundalini is the surrender to God

The real problem should be after a lot of efforts for success

If the problem is faced only after few attempts, then the man’s faith remains on the physical world, and he does not surrender fully to the Kundalini. But when the man realizes the loss even after making a lot of efforts, his faith in the vulgar and diversified world is lost, and he completely kneels in front of the Kundalini {a single mental image} to get prana-juice or life-juice without much physical efforts. It is theorized that the problems that occur after a lot of efforts are virtual or positive, not real or negative.

This kundalini inducing problem {so called emotional and psychological trauma} can be better defined as positive and temporary loss of faith in the physical world

This kundalini inducing problem is defined as emotional and psychological trauma by so many. Although it is not trauma actually for trauma carries one down, not uplifts up to kundalini heights. Actually it should be called as positive and temporary loss of faith in the physical world, which propels one towards the mental world of kundalini.

According to Tantra, Kundalini is easily attained only by filling the mind with physical worldliness.

A man should experience every sphere of life {as Premyogi vajra had experienced}; otherwise, his mind will remain in the physical world out of longing for it. He must also be sufficiently rich {as was Premyogi Vajra}; otherwise, he will remain worried about earning, so that his mind will not be removed from the physical world. It is a straightforward matter that the person whose mind is filled with positive, karmic and human colours of the physical world, gets the opportunity to rise above the world easily.

Enlightenment by Kundalini’s dissolution

Doing Yoga-Sadhana/yoga, there comes a time when Kundalini starts dissolving in the soul. Then the person’s trust moves away from the Kundalini and focuses on the soul. Only then, he gets glimpse enlightenment. The same happened with Premyogi vajra, which he has described in detail in his book “Physiology Philosophy – A Modern Kundalini Tantra (A Yogi’s Love Story)” in Hindi and in the book “Love story of a Yogi- what Patanjali says” in English.
