Interrelation between Kundalini and idol worship

One has to make cordial relations with Kundalini for a very long time to activate and awaken it. Most likely it is very hard in a single lifetime. It is therefore necessary that Kundalini be remembered by one since his birth. Even when a man is in the womb of the mother, then he must start getting subtle impression of kundalini meditation. Ishtadev (favored god) has been conceptualized to make it possible. Ishtdeva is always the same for all. From this, in the family that believes in that god, the habit of meditating on him continues to grow throughout the long series of generations. That is why it is easy for the people of Shaiva ​​Sampradaya (Shiva-creed) to meditate on the same form of Shiva. By the same meditation, Shiva, who settles in a Shaiva people’s heart, he can become their own Kundalini, which can eventually become alive as a Kundalini-awakening. If Shiva were not given a definite form by the visionary sages, then the meditation of Shiva would not progressively increase and would be interfered repeatedly.

Suppose, a man would have considered Shiva as longhaired, and his son would have considered Shiva as short haired, what would happen? In this way, the son did not receive the meditation earned by his father. He collects his own meditation from the beginning, making him a little profit. The benefit that he would get, it would be that in his life, in a small quantity, non-duality and non-attachment would arise. Then he would not get Kundalini awakening due to tremendous non-attachment and non-duality.

Dev Shankar is the most important among the deities. That is why he is called great Lord, being the Lord of Lords. He has been given a definite form. The necklace of the snake is there in his neck. He has lengthy hair on his head. The half moon is seated on his head. The Ganga River is coming out from his head-hair. There are three parallel lines marked with sandalwood and ash on his forehead, which is called Tilak. It is also called Tripund. The third eye is also seen open at many places in his mid eyebrow. He is covered with ash. He has a trident in one hand, and in one hand, he has a damaru (a special single handed drum). He rides a bull. He wears the tiger’s skin, and does not wear any other clothes. He is beautiful. His facial look and texture are balanced and free of error. His face is vibrant and attractive. His body is soft, muscular, strong and balanced. He has a facial complexion of medium white color. His movements are full of advaita (non-duality), non-attachment, and quietness.

Likewise, other deities and goddesses have also been given certain shapes and sizes. Along with these, they have also been given certain quotes and ethics. Ganesha has been described as a mouse rider, a laddoo (a type of sweet) lover, and having an elephant face. Similarly, nine different Goddesses have also been given different introduction.

According to this principle, making your ancestor or family elderly (grandfather etc.) as your master is more beneficial. Because a person is acquainted with him since his birth and is very cordial with him, so it is the easiest to put him in mind. Then the same mental idol (mental picture) made out of him becomes active and awakened by becoming a Kundalini with constant practice.

God-idol is associated with old friends, acquaintances and ancestors. When someone reconnects to those contemporary deities of those acquaintances, then the memories of those familiar beings are re-opened. The most effectively remembered being of them could emerge in the form of permanent remembrance (Kundalini) with the repeated practice. In science, it is called conditioned reflex. According to this, when two objects have sat together in the mind, then both objects are joined together. Whenever an object is remembered, then the other thing associated with it is remembered by itself. It is just like that biological phenomenon, when a cow starts letting down her milk on seeing her calf. In this way, god-statues work as social conditioners or social links. They play an important role in maintaining the memory of loved ones and acquaintances. This same principle applies in relation to all other prescribed religious laws. Although idols are main in it, because they are human, beautiful, easy to be accessible, unrivaled, and attractive.

If one does not notice direct benefit from idol worship, even then a good habit of meditation and deep feeling is formed with help of it. It helps in the overall growth of humanity. The same happened to Premyogi vajra, that is why he could get glimpse forms of Enlightenment and Kundalini awakening. Actually, deities were worshipped in their pure natural form in Vedic period. Later on, many of these deities were personified in human form with ongoing social reforms, Which is also based on scientific philosophy.

Natural things are non-dual and detached in their inherent internal form. That is why a blissful peace is felt at natural places. Actually, god idols are the miniaturized models of the vast nature for it is scriptural and also scientifically proved by “Shareervigyan darshan” that  everything external is situated inside the human body. These tiny models have been designed for the confined home environment.

Now it comes about religion-change. Based on the above facts, we should never sacrifice our religion. Because of the change of religion, the memories of the familiar ones that are associated with one’s home religion are lost, and so the good opportunities for Kundalini-growth are missed by hand. A saying in this regard also comes in the scriptures, “Shreyo Swadharmo Vigunopi, Paradharmo Bhayavaha”. That is, even though one’s own religion is of low quality, then too it provides welfare, but the religion of others is so frightening. It does not mean that one should be strictly religious or religious extremist, or should not accept other religions. Rather it means that while accepting all the human religions, one’s own religion should be made the main one. It should be kept in mind that this does not apply to yoga, because yoga is not a particular religion. Yoga is a spiritual psychology, which is an integral part of all the religions.

Importance of Body Chakras in Kundalini Yoga – A Scientific Discussion / कुण्डलिनीयोग में शारीरिक चक्रों का महत्त्व- एक वैज्ञानिक विवेचना

Importance of Body Chakras in Kundalini Yoga – A Scientific Discussion

Giving the importance of equality to all the chakras in the Kundalini Yoga during everyday life, Kundalini visualization / visualization is done on all the chakras turn by turn. Its advantage is that in some parts of the body the Kundalini comes into the grip. In fact, the Kundalini is associated with the chakras / parts of the body. When the activity of a chakra increases, then the blissful expression of the Kundalini, which is being visualized there upon, also increases. The activity of the body depends solely on physical blood circulation. When blood circulation increases on a chakra, then the activity of that chakra also increases. The total blood circulation of the body remains the same, only in different parts it keeps on changing only. If blood circulation increases on one chakra, then it is naturally decreased on any other chakra. By brain work, blood circulation increases in the brain, so during that time the Kundalini-visualization in the brain-chakra / Agya chakra is very simple and successful. Speech, writing, reading, colloquial etc. increases the circulation in the throat, thereby making the Kundalini’s visualization simple and effective on there / in the throat chakra / Vishuddhi chakra. When the feeling of emotions in mind increases the blood circulation in the heart, then due to visualization in the heart centre / heart chakra / Anahata Chakra, the Kundalini becomes more ignited. When the digestive tract is powerful, then there is increased blood circulation in the abdomen / naval area. Therefore visualization in naval chakra / Manipura Chakra at that time is of greater benefit. The effectiveness of sexually energizing sexual activity, the proper health of the waste-emitting organs and other physical (especially hands and feet related) actions increases the blood circulation on the sexual chakras / swadhishthana and muladhara chakra, therefore there is more activity in the Kundalini. That is why at that time those two chakras seem to get more attention.

In the household life, especially in duality and ignorance, all chakras cannot be functioning simultaneously and in common, because sometimes the tasks related to a particular area have to be emphasized, then sometimes tasks related to any other area. Therefore, in a single sitting of Kundalini Yoga, visualization of Kundalini is done on all the chakras turn by turn. Then the influential chakra itself comes under the purview of visualization, which has a greater sense of visualization-benefit. By this, visualization-gains gradually become accumulated in Kundalini Jagran / awakening. On the contrary, there is no cosmic responsibility for the ascetic-yogi or devoted yogi, so that he can easily keep stirring the activity for a long time on a particular chakra. Therefore, it is said that visualization should be done on the same chakra for a long time and then should move towards the next chakra, it has been said only for such a dedicated yogi. He is saved by a slight loss of visualization caused by chakra-change, nothing special. By continuously meditating on the same chakra, it can increase blood circulation to that chakra for a long time, because visualization on any part of the body increases blood pressures there itself. This is also the principle of spiritual healing. When someone entangled in the worldly life, by leaving his chakra, which is actively working with its naturalness, takes a forceful attention on any other chakra, then according to that need, the blood of the functioning chakra runs towards that chaotic chakra. From that necessity, the natural function of the functioning chakra will be affected by it less or more. Therefore, in the Yogasadhana / meditation-sitting under such busy worldly circumstances, the dhyana / attention should be applied on the same chakra which is easily or spontaneously meditative. Do not be forced to coax with other dormant chakras. By the way, by keeping the attention of all the chakras in the same way, all parts of the body are equally healthy; Life becomes balanced and moves forward in every field. By focusing continuously on a particular chakra, specializations can be gained quickly in the related areas of that chakra, although life can become unbalanced, and the health of the areas related to other body chakras can be questioned.

This type of perfect physical and mental balance becomes available from the advaita / non duality of Puranas / Aryan personified natural stories and through the Advaita obtained from the physiology / body science philosophy. This is because, because of non duality all things look alike, and there is no special attachment to a particular area. From this, the person meditates on all parts of his individual body as well as on the universal body, because the worldly creation (related to the world) and the individual creation (body-related) are both interconnected according to “yatpinde tatbramhaande”. The control over one is reflected itself as the control over the second one too in the same manner and same extent. From this non duality practice also, kundalini develops itself gradually and with less special efforts.

कुण्डलिनीयोग में शारीरिक चक्रों का महत्त्व- एक वैज्ञानिक विवेचना

प्रतिदिन के लौकिक जीवन के दौरान जो कुण्डलिनीयोग किया जाता है, उसमें सभी चक्रों को बराबरी का महत्त्व देते हुए सभी चक्रों पर बारी-२ से कुण्डलिनी का ध्यान किया जाता है। इसका यह फ़ायदा होता है कि शरीर के किसी न किसी भाग में कुण्डलिनी पकड़ में आ ही जाती है। वास्तव में कुण्डलिनी शरीर के चक्रों / भागों से जुड़ी होती है। जब किसी चक्र की क्रियाशीलता बढ़ती है, तब उस पर ध्यायित की जाने वाली कुण्डलिनी की आनंदमयी अभिव्यक्ति भी बढ़ जाती है। शरीर की क्रियाशीलता शारीरिक रक्तसंचार पर ही तो निर्भर करती है। जब किसी चक्र पर रक्तसंचार बढ़ जाता है, तब उस चक्र की क्रियाशीलता भी बढ़ जाती है। शरीर का कुल रक्तसंचार तो एकसमान ही रहता है, केवल विभिन्न भागों में उसकी मात्रा घटती-बढ़ती रहती है। यदि एक चक्र पर रक्तसंचार बढ़ता है, तो किसी दूसरे चक्र पर स्वाभाविक रूप से घट जाता है। दिमागी कार्य से दिमाग में रक्तसंचार बढ़ जाता है, अतः उसके दौरान मस्तिष्क-चक्र / आज्ञा चक्र में कुण्डलिनी-ध्यान अधिक सरल व सफल होता है। भाषण, लेखन, पठन, बोलचाल आदि से गले में रक्तसंचार बढ़ जाता है, जिससे वहां / ग्रीवाचक्र / विशुद्धिचक्र पर कुण्डलिनी का ध्यान सरल व प्रभावशाली हो जाता है। मन में भावनाओं के उमड़ने के समय ह्रदय में रक्तसंचार बढ़ जाता है, जिससे उस समय हृदयक्षेत्र / हृदयचक्र / अनाहत चक्र में ध्यान करने से कुण्डलिनी अधिक प्रज्वलित हो जाती है। जब पाचनक्रिया शक्तिशाली होती है, तब उदरक्षेत्र / नाभिक्षेत्र में रक्तसंचार बढ़ा हुआ होता है। इसलिए उस समय नाभिचक्र / मणिपुरचक्र में ध्यान करने से अधिक लाभ होता है। यौनशक्तिवर्धक यौनक्रियाशीलता से, अपशिष्ट-उत्सर्जक अंगों के उत्तम स्वास्थ्य से व अन्य शारीरिक (विशेषतः हस्तपादाश्रित) कर्मों से यौनचक्र / स्वाधिष्ठानचक्र व मूलाधार चक्र पर रक्तसंचार बढ़ा हुआ होता है, अतः वहां पर कुण्डलिनी अधिक क्रियाशील होती है। इसलिए उस समय उन दोनों चक्रों पर अधिक अच्छी तरह से ध्यान लगता है।

गृहस्थजीवन में, विशेषतः द्वैत व अज्ञान से भरे गृहस्थजीवन में सभी चक्र एकसाथ व एकसमान रूप से क्रियाशील नहीं रह सकते, क्योंकि कभी किसी क्षेत्र से सम्बंधित कार्यों पर अधिक जोर देना पड़ता है, तो कभी किसी अन्य क्षेत्र से सम्बंधित कार्यों पर। इसलिए कुण्डलिनीयोग की एक अकेली बैठक में सभी चक्रों पर बारी-२ से कुण्डलिनी का ध्यान किया जाता है। उससे प्रभावशाली चक्र स्वयं ही ध्यान के दायरे में आ जाता है, जिससे ध्यान-लाभ की अधिक अनुभूति होती है। इससे ध्यान-लाभ धीरे-२ इकट्ठा होता हुआ कुण्डलिनीजागरण में परिणत हो जाता है। इसके विपरीत संन्यासी-योगी या समर्पित योगी के लिए कोई लौकिक उत्तरदायित्व नहीं होता, जिससे वह एक विशेष चक्र पर लम्बे समय तक क्रियाशीलता को आसानी से बना कर रख सकता है। इसलिए जो यह कहा गया है कि एक ही चक्र पर लम्बे समय तक ध्यान करके उसे जगा देना चाहिए और फिर अगले चक्र की ओर रुख करना चाहिए, वह ऐसे ही समर्पित योगी के लिए ही कहा गया है। वह चक्र-बदलाव से उत्पन्न थोड़ी सी ध्यान-हानि से बच जाता है, अन्य विशेष कुछ नहीं। वह एक ही चक्र पर निरंतर ध्यान लगा कर वहां पर रक्तसंचार को लम्बे समय तक बढ़ा कर रख सकता है, क्योंकि शरीर के किसी भाग पर ध्यान लगाने से वहां पर रक्तसंचार स्वयं ही बढ़ जाता है। यही स्पिरिचुअल हीलिंग / आध्यात्मिक उपचार का सिद्धांत भी है। जब सांसारिकता में उलझा हुआ कोई व्यक्ति स्वाभाविकता से क्रियाशील अपने चक्र को छोड़कर किसी अन्य चक्र पर जोर-जबरदस्ती से ध्यान लगाता है, तब उस आवश्यकतानुसार क्रियाशील चक्र का रक्त उस ध्यायित किए जा रहे चक्र की ओर दौड़ पड़ता है। उससे उस आवश्यकतानुसार क्रियाशील चक्र के स्वाभाविक कार्य तो कम या अधिक रूप से दुष्प्रभावित होंगे ही। इसलिए वैसी व्यस्ततापूर्ण सांसारिक परिस्थितियों के अंतर्गत की जाने वाली योगसाधना-बैठक में जिस चक्र पर ध्यान आसानी से या स्वयं ही लग रहा हो, वहीँ पर लगने देना चाहिए। अन्य सुप्त चक्रों के साथ अधिक जोर-जबरदस्ती नहीं करनी चाहिए। वैसे तो सभी चक्रों पर समान रूप से ध्यान देने से ही शरीर के सभी अंग समान रूप से स्वस्थ रहते हैं; जीवन संतुलित बनता है और हरेक क्षेत्र में आगे बढ़ता है। एक विशेष चक्र पर ही निरंतर ध्यान देने से उस चक्र से सम्बंधित क्षेत्रों में शीघ्रता से विशेषज्ञता तो प्राप्त हो सकती है, यद्यपि उससे जीवन असंतुलित बन सकता है, और शरीर के अन्य चक्रों से सम्बंधित क्षेत्रों के स्वास्थ्य पर प्रश्नचिन्ह लग सकता है। अद्वैतमय जीवन से भी कुण्डलिनी स्वयं ही व बिना किसी विशेष प्रयास के धीरे-२ विकसित होने लगती है।

इस प्रकार का उत्तम शारीरिक व मानसिक संतुलन पुराणों से व शरीरविज्ञान दर्शन से प्राप्त अद्वैतभाव से भी उपलब्ध हो जाता है। ऐसा इसलिए होता है, क्योंकि अद्वैतभाव से सभी कुछ समान जैसा लगता है, और किसी विशेष क्षेत्र से विशेष लगाव या आसक्ति नहीं रहती। इससे व्यक्ति व्यष्टि और समष्टि के सभी अंगों पर समान रूप से ध्यान देता है, क्योंकि समष्टि (विश्व-सम्बंधित) व व्यष्टि (शरीर-सम्बंधित), दोनों आपस में जुड़े हुए हैं, “यतपिण्डे तत ब्रम्हांडे” के अनुसार। एक के भी नियंत्रण से दूसरा स्वयं ही उसी के अनुसार नियंत्रित हो जाता है।

Psychotropic drugs with meditation-ध्यान के साथ PSYCHOTROPIC / अवसादरोधी ड्रग्स / दवाएं

I think as if natural psychic drugs have become developed spontaneously to solve some specific purpose at this time. If these are taken at right time and in right schedule during the meditation, it can help in Kundalini awakening. But the present research is not concluding enough. In ancient days, sages used to consume bhaang(Hindi), a narcotic plant to get psychic help in their meditation. Perhaps they knew the right doze, right course and right time of that’s use. People today misuse psychotropic drugs, so get harm instead of any benefit. Premyogi vajra(The hero of demystifyingkundalini) had used a prescribed psychotropic drug continuously for one month that produced a change in his personality. He started meditation after one year of that’s use and got a kundalini awakening. I think, these drugs prime a person for meditation by making him cool, peaceful and satisfied. These qualities are there in meditating being too. This appears as the only role of these drugs for the success is only achieved through the meditation itself. May be that these drugs give additional boost to the meditation if used properly and cautiously, avoiding their side effects. Enough research is there to be done regarding this.

Rest of the detail can be found at Quora, Advising someone who has got kundalini awakening with drugs but relapsing.

ध्यान के साथ PSYCHOTROPIC / अवसादरोधी ड्रग्स / दवाएं

मुझे लगता है कि इस समय कुछ विशिष्ट उद्देश्य को हल करने के लिए ही प्राकृतिक मानसिक दवाएं स्वचालित रूप से विकसित हो गई हैं। यदि ध्यान के दौरान सही समय पर, सही मात्रा में और सही schedule / नियम के साथ इन्हें लिया जाता है, तो ये कुंडलिनी-जागृति में मदद कर सकती हैं। लेकिन वर्तमान शोध पर्याप्त निष्कर्ष नहीं निकाल पा रहा है। प्राचीन दिनों में ऋषि विशेषतः शैव सम्प्रदाय के योगी-बाबा लोग भांग (हिंदी), एक नशीले पदार्थ के पौधे का उपयोग करते थे, ताकि वे उससे ध्यान में मानसिक सहायता प्राप्त कर सकते। शायद वे उसके सही उपयोग, उसके उपयोग के सही तरीके, और उसके उपयोग के सही समय को जानते थे। लोग आज मनोविज्ञान दवाओं का दुरुपयोग करते हैं, इसलिए किसी भी लाभ के बजाय अक्सर नुकसान ही प्राप्त करते हैं। प्रेमयोगी वज्र (डेमिस्टिफाइंगकुंडलिनी / demystifyingkundalini के नायक) ने एक महीने के लिए एक निर्धारित मनोविज्ञान दवा का उपयोग किया था, जिसने उसके व्यक्तित्व में बदलाव कर दिया था। फिर उन्होंने उसके उपयोग के एक वर्ष बाद ध्यान-साधना / कुण्डलिनी-साधना को शुरू किया, और अंततः कुंडलिनी-जागृति प्राप्त की। मुझे लगता है, ये दवाएं एक व्यक्ति को शांत, अवसादरहित और संतुष्ट बना कर, ध्यान-साधना में उसकी मदद करती हैं। ये गुण ध्यान-साधना करने वालों में भी विद्यमान होते हैं। ऐसा लगता है कि इन दवाओं का यही प्रेरणादायक व सहायक रोल होता है, क्योंकि आध्यात्मिक सफलता तो केवल ध्यान-साधना के माध्यम से ही हासिल की जाती है। हो सकता है कि ये दवाएं ध्यान के लिए अतिरिक्त बढ़ावा भी दें, अगर इनके दुष्प्रभावों से परहेज करते हुए, कोई इनका सही ढंग से और सतर्कता से उपयोग करता है। इसके बारे में पर्याप्त शोध किया जाना अभी बाकि है।

शेष विवरण क्वोरा में मिल सकता है, जो कि उसे एक सलाह के रूप में है, जिसकी कुंडलिनी अवसादरोधी दवाओं के साथ जागृत हो गई हो, लेकिन वह फिर से दवा के दुष्प्रभाव में आ गया हो।
