What is Kundalini?
The Cosmic Shakti: Reflection of The Divine in Human |
The infinite energy force that keeps the whole Universe in order is the Cosmic energy
and the reflection of this Cosmic energy within each individual is called the Kundalini.
Kundalini lies dormant at the base of the spine and can be awakened. Once awakened
the Kundalini unleashes unlimited creative potential that exists within every human
being.

Kundalini Yoga |
Kundalini Yoga is a system of meditative techniques within the ancient Indian yogic
tradition that focuses on awakening of the Kundalini leading to psycho-spiritual
growth and the body's potential for maturation, leading sadhak (spiritual practitioner)
to self-realization (liberation from the cycle of birth and death) that eventually
leads to the ultimate union with the Divine.
Kundalini Yoga is considered as the King of all the Yogas because it is the most
powerful and the most simple yoga known to the human being.
Kundalini yoga is also called as the yoga of awareness because it directly affects
ones consciousness, develops intuition and increases self knowledge. Practitioners
of Kundalini yoga benefit greatly from an elevation in consciousness, promotion
of physical well-being and an expansion of awareness. Life is transformed into one
which is happy, healthy & harmonious...eventually leading to Self-Realization.

Benefits of Kundalini Yoga |
- Creates harmony between Mind and Body, thereby creating spontaneous flow of Joy
& Happiness.
- Exposure to cosmic energy heightens your Consciousness and Personal Creativity.
- Consistently higher level of Energy, Fitness & Vitality
- Better Health (Simply because Healing is a natural process of Siddha yoga).
- Greater Clarity of Thought.
- Greater Peace and ability to stay Calm in the face of storms.
- Transcendental and Divine experiences
Please note: These are just the by-products of following Siddha yoga. These can NOT and should NOT be the goal of Siddha yoga.
The ultimate goal of Siddha yoga is the Union with The God, the attainment
of The Divine, The Chaitanya or The Self-realization.

Kundalini (Siddha) Yoga: NOT a Magic Pill - Don't Expect Quick Results |
Once Kundalini is initiated:
1) Sadhak can start experiencing the "Kriyas" (Pranik movements or divine experiences)
from day one.
2) It needs years of consistent practice to start receiving the benefits mentioned
above.
3) Siddha yoga is for those who carry ability to do efforts in the long term. It
takes Consistent, Conscious and Sincere efforts of few lives
before one attains The Salvation (or The God, The Divine or The Chaitanya)
Let us use analogy here:
It takes efforts of 20 years before an individual attains a university degree -
"piece of paper". (Even after 20 years of efforts most of the people
do not attain basic common sense to sustain a happy, peaceful and successful life.)
Should we expect realization of God by efforts of few years or decades?
God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omnipresent encompassing the entire Universe. Those who realize
the God attain the Divine knowledge and wisdom with the ability of creation (Chaitanya
or Siddhis or Miracles). No one should expect realization
of "Self" by efforts of few years or decades.
Do not follow path of Siddha yoga
(or Kundalini yoga or Raja yoga or ANY yoga for that matter) if your timeline is
of few months or years. It is not for you!
Siddha Gurus (those who have attained the self-realization) have gone through
these 4 stages with consistent efforts (unimaginable for any ordinary human
being) over several lives.

What is God? |
GOD is a state of Eternal Bliss – Chaitanya or Supreme Consciousness
God is a formless, quality-less (Nirakar, Nirgun) “State of Being” – “A Blissful
Being that is Eternal as well as Intelligent”. The state being an “Intelligent”
one, it can also take a form with qualities (Avatars).
Therefore, the God can be with a form and qualities (Sagun and Sakar) at the same
time God is formless and quality-less (Nirgun and Nirakar). This is the reason why some people recognize “Self”
(Nirgun, Nirakar) as God while others get the “Darshan” of the God that is Sagun
and Sakar.
Thus the God is Sagun/Sakar and Nirgun/Nirakar at the same time. This is the reason
why God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omnipresent. In fact because God is
Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omnipresent he can be Sagun/Sakar and Nirgun/Nirakar
at the same time.
God a bliss or ceaseless joy NOT connected with body or mind – Which you do not
want to go away from. This is the point of attainment at which the Yogi has fully realized that
the life that we ("We" - the average human beings) live day to day is nothing more
than sufferings & miseries and therefore, he chooses to stay in the abode of the God
for ever, never to come back.

The highest ideal for every Sadhak - Lord Sri Krishna (Bhagavad Gita)
|
Lord Sri Krishna - Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 3, Verse 19
The highest ideal for every Sadhak is
'Siddha-Avasthaa' i.e. state of perfection or `Moksha' i.e. release from
the cycle of multiple births and deaths. As a result of the knowledge of the Self,
a Yogi has nothing left in balance, which is yet to be acquired for anyone including
himself. It is all the same to him whether he performs an action or does not perform
it. If such a Yogi has nothing to do gain or lose from others then as per the modern
principle of 'the path of the least action', his logical choice must be inaction
and not action; as he has nothing to achieve for himself as well as for others.....In
the rhythm of incessantly beating of heart, a Sadhak carries out various mundane
worldly activities without even noticing every single beat of his heart. Absence
of attachment leads to pacification of mind; thus work and rest go on as if reflex
actions. Mind made calm in this way becomes capable of grasping the Self. Calmness
of mind is the essential pre-requisite for the knowledge of the Self. |
Attainment of the God is about conscious efforts to attain selfless karma without
attachment - Bhagavad Gita.
|
All this is easy to read, but in reality, Karma Yoga given by Lord Sri Krishna to Arjuna is a process of several lives - It is the Conscious efforts with help of Gyan yoga, Bhakti yoga, Raja yoga and all other yogas that ultimately lead to self-realization after several lives.
