 KUNDALINI YOGA - HOW TO                            PERFORM

What is Kundalini :

The word Kundalini is derived from the Sanskrit word Kundal, which means coiled snake. Since the word Kundal is masculine and the purpose of awakening this feminine divine energy, therefore, the word Kundal has been changed to Kundalini. Our main purpose of Kundalini awakening is to nourish the tree of life within us which is coiled up like a serpent, therefore its other name is “Serpent Power”. So far, the information gathered from this yoga practice is the supreme of all yoga. In this hustle and bustle, people throughout the world are more interested in physical postures to keep themselves fit and avoid spending a chunk of their income on Doctors rather than awakening their supernatural power within them. The awareness of the presence of this prime energy, Kundalini, within the human body was considered by different sages and saints to be the highest knowledge. In the Western world, the Lord Jesus suggested Kundalini Awakening as described in Old Testament for the true destiny of all Christians. But so far, different Yoga Instructors in the Western world did not properly teach their students. In Asian countries also, it is being used as a health benefit tool but they do not properly discuss its immense power within the human being. Our main objective to attain salvation. The power of Kundalini Yoga is to attain absolute purity, chastity, self-respect, pure love for divine power, concern for others, and enlighten attention to gain infinite joy and peace within the individual.

When this Kundalini awakens through the practice of Kundalini Yoga, this energy ascends through the chakras (energy centers) along the spine, leading to a state of heightened awareness and spiritual awakening. The process not only aims at spiritual elevation but also at the harmonization of the body, mind, and soul.

How to perform Kundalini Yoga:

During my early stages, I heard the power of Kundalini awakening but my Guruji did not tell me the process of how to achieve it.  When I expressed my utmost desire to learn, he told me still had to practice more Kriyas, since I was enunciated in Kriya Yoga. Only he told me to practice extensively MAHA MUDRA, if possible twice a day. Then I read several books on how to achieve my target. One day, I got a book “GHERANDA SAMHITA” which describes how to awaken Muladhara Chakra, my main purpose is to awaken Muladhara Chakra.

As per Gheranda Samhita, “the procedure for performing Maha Mudra is to sit straight on the floor with one leg stretched and the other to be kept bent so that the heel can press the perineum. Then the practitioner should bend forward to hold the toe tightly without keeping the knee bent and then raise the head slightly and focuses the gaze on the eyebrow center, perform Pranayama with awareness on different chakras of the energy center. If this is performed properly with help of your Yoga Teacher, you can awaken. There is another stage for achieving the Kundalini Awakening program is to learn KHECHARI MUDRA. This should not be performed without proper knowledge.

The ultimate goal of Kundalini Yoga is spiritual enlightenment or the realization of one's true nature beyond the physical and mental confines. This journey towards enlightenment involves transcending the ego and experiencing the unity of the individual soul with the universal consciousness. Kundalini Yoga provides a structured and disciplined path for this spiritual journey, guiding practitioners through stages of self-awareness and self-discovery toward ultimate liberation.

Conclusion:

The importance of Kundalini Yoga lies in its power to awaken the latent spiritual energy within, leading to a life of greater harmony, health, and spiritual insight. As more individuals discover and embrace this ancient practice, Kundalini Yoga continues to shine as a beacon of light, guiding seekers on their journey towards enlightenment and beyond.
