Kundalini, an overview

Last Updated on May 16, 2021 by astrologerbydefault

“Kundalini” is one of the most searched word on the internet. I do not know if I should take it as a good sign or a bad sign that so many people are interested in this topic. “Kundalini” has now become a brand which can be sold! Anything can be sold if you have the right marketing, Hell, people have managed to make empires from air, on carbon-di-oxide (facepalm!), then Kundalini is even more saleable !

Why would someone even be interested in kundalini, no one has sensed it or felt it seen it or heard it? But we are all interested in it. Even those who do not follow Sanatan Dharma also feel an interest in it. It is our subconscious pulling at us wanting to know more and ultimately experience this energy flow.

As you all know by now, our bodies are are not biochemical, but electromagnetic. The electricity of this body (prana), flows along the wires (naadi) and the system is powered by 7 vertices in the body located along the central naadi, from the lowest to top these vertices are muladhar, swadhisthana, manipur, anahata, vishuddhi, ajnya, sahasrara. These names are quite familiar. However, in addition to these 7 there are additional chakra/vertices in our head, like the jeshtha, vama, rudri, mula around the central bindu.

Kundalini, an overview

In an average human the chakras are not moving at their full capacities, the naadis in the body are blocked at several parts (leading to physical diseases too), and the prana is also not moving in full force in the naadis. The additional chakras are not powered on and prana flows through the main energy naadi, the sushumna is only intermittently (avg 3-4 minutes every 1:45 hrs or so ). The sushumna is blocked. The very thin sushumna has an even finer inner channel and one even finer more with this one, the vajrini and chitrini naadis. The sushumna then at the base of the neck divides into 2, one ends at the ajnya chakra and the second at the brahmarandhra. There exists another portion of the naadi from ajnya chakra to the brahmarandhra which is never active, this channel gets activated only when the person is able to divert the flow of kundalini when it reaches the ajnya chakra. If after this, in case this final connection between the two branches is also complete, and the triangle of the jeshtha, vama and rudri with their central bindu is powered on, and the kundalini can flow through the entire system. Now the person is said to have attained moksha. At this point the aura of the person will be silver/gold.

The bottom line is that the energy grid of the body for an average human is not clear, is blocked and the flow of the prana is very intermittent and faulty. In such a faulty body the kundalini is dormant. The kundalini is energy, different from prana, which can flow only through the Sushumna naadi and the higher naadi systems.

For persons who do regular spiritual energies the kundalini is not dormant but may be active though sluggish flowing between the muladhar and swadhisthan. Such persons may see signs like a whirring sensation at the point of the joint of the legs, a cold/hot sensation at the base of the spine, a feeling of tingling electricity on the skin, able to “see” persons who are afar, may be able to “see” the other denizens of the universe, from pretatmas, nagas, gandharvas, yakshas etc. They may also gain minor “siddhis” like making things vanish or appear etc. But this is all a diversion, to entice you with smaller things so as to make you forget what is your true goal. If you get diverted, well.. enjoy it till you get bored again, which you will.

You need to be conscious of the energy (prana or kundalini) movements. Only then will you progress. Intention and regular practice both are required. Do Dhyan.

Kundalini, an overview

So what happens when you do dhyan? You sit with your back and neck straight. The focus is on the ajnya chakra, i.e. one end of the sushumna. If you touch the back of the head with your fingers, you will feel a hollow (the point where the sushumna divides). Ideally you are supposed to visualize yourself looking at the ajnya chakra from this point of division. But do not worry too much about the technicalities, as you progress, the body will automatically align this way. You breathe focussing on a mantra, your breathing and the ajnya chakra. This starts the movement of prana throughout your body in a very intense and focussed manner. Now the flow of prana will get stronger and will push out and clean out the blockages in the naadis throughout the body. At this point the cleaning out of the blockages will manifest as minor illnesses as negative stuff will also leave the physical body.

When the flow of prana is such that all the naadis are clean and full of energy then a very interesting thing occurs. The process described in the amrit sukta begins. The ajnya chakra starts withdrawing the prana from the organs of sense and action etc. And then this prana starts the process of cleaning out the blockages of the sushumna, vajrini, chitrini and this naadi/chakra system in the spine and the head. Only after these are all cleaned out does the kundalini get active and move through these cleaned and through passages and energy vertices. This is samadhi which will further lead to the final moksha.

There are some physical and mental exercises and breathing techniques which are helpful in cleaning out the naadis of the body etc. But in this you can never be sure about what you are being taught. If something goes wrong you may have to spend your next few lives setting it right. So do the simplest thing, sit and breathe mindfully, that is dhyan.

So the point in that “raising kundalini” on the internet is a way of trapping you, the aspirant. Fake “modern age gurus” trap you in kundalini yoga, kundalini tantra, kundalini whatever. Do not get carried away by such words. Do not give away your faith/Shraddha so easily to the wrong person! A real Guru will not be on the Internet raising the aspirant’s kundalini-s over lessons sold in dollars.

For those who think kundalini raising is “power” for this world, read on, read on and be scared.

The kundalini is the final point of your lives, kundalini starting to move means you have come to the end of your “lives”. No mother, no father, no husband, no child, no Guru, no Shishya. Nothing yet Everything! You never take a birth again, never die again, You just Are, Everything and Nothing!

This Dhyan is not easy, it takes lives, intention and practice and practice. And Shraddha! Can you sit and stare in the blackness between your eyebrows in the Shraddha (faith) that you will see something? How deep is your hope? How strongly do you want to see the Real You? This is the ultimate test. Yes you will see the lightening there by the grace of the Guru, but after how many lives? Will you be patient? Will you practice?

After all the energy points and chakras become saturated with kundalini you are “Parabrahma“, not of this world. This world is the domain of Mahamaya! Are you ready to leave her domain and go on to become the “Parabrahma”?

If these words appeal to you, then yes it is time. If they scare you, you have to wait. But in both these situations the solution is the same, do Dhyan!

    Thank you so much for your writings ma’am. I would like to kindly know your advice on grounding to earth from the mooladarachakra. As an Empath highly sensitive person, I have been advised to do lots of grounding. From astrology perspective, I have moon rahu in 8th house, aspected by Jupiter and Sun in 2nd house. Rahu in shravan in moon’s nakshatra and with moon but 10° gap, aspected by Jupiter in Pushya. Any advice you may have for me, thank you ma’am.
