What is Kundalini ?
That energy which performs the triple fold function of Generation , Operation and Destruction of life,both animate and inanimate is called as the Kundalini Shakti. Every system right from the smallest atom ,planets , galaxies and universe has this Energy at its core. In Every human being as well, this energy lies coiled and dormant at the tip of the spine. When this energy move through the Sympathetic and para Sympathetic nervous systems , it acts as the Energy for desire and action , when the same Energy rises through the Central nervous system , it manifests as wisdom called as Gnana Sakthi (Intelligence).
This Kundalini energy can be clearly felt by the practioner after initiation at the Forebrain (Ajna) and in the Midbrain (Sahasrahara) as a pulse. This pulse is called as Meiunarvu or Divine vibration
Why Kundalini Yoga ?
Kundalini is the fundamental energies of all Energies. Its a factual experience for every living being that there is a Material and there is Non-Material. Union of these 2 is called Yoga. Union of Manifested with Unmanifested, Heat with the cold, Matter with Energy, Shakti with Siva, Male with the female, Sun with Moon, Pleasure with the pain etc.
If its done with
- Physical Energies – it is called Hatha Yoga
- Mental Concentration – it is called Raja Yoga
- Atma Vichara through the Intellect – it is called Jnana Yoga
- by Prana -it is called Kriya Yoga
- by Selfless service and Work – it is called Karma Yoga
- through Love – Bhakti Yoga
- by KUNDALINI herself – it is called Kundalini Yoga
Swami Vivekananda says
Wherever there was any manifestation of what is ordinarily called supernatural power or wisdom, there a little current of kundalini must have found its way into the brain.All worship, conciously or unconciously, leads to this end.
What, thus, man ignorantly worships under various names, through fear and tribulation, the yogi declares to the world to be the real power coiled up in every being, the mother of eternal happiness, if we but know how to approach her. And yoga is the science of religion, the rationale of all worship, all prayers, forms, ceremonies and miracles.
Meditation
Observing the Kundalini vibration that arises in the forehead eye is called kundalini meditation. One can observe this for 20 minutes in a session , once in the morning and evening. and can easily do all the daily activities and include this as another activity as the part of day to day life.
Spiritual Initiation or Deeksha (Upadesam):
When the life force is brought from the base of spine upward through the central canal (sushumna nadi) of the spinal cord crossing the backbrain and to the forehead eye by the grace of experienced spiritual instructor , it is called initiation. The screen covering the intellect is pierced by spiritual power generated by the Guru and then one can experience a throbbing or a tickling sensation or a sensation of heat , sometimes cold. This is the pulse of the soul and it is the ever present reality.
3rd Eye of Wisdom or Minds Eye or Eye of Wisdom
Location in Human body: The space between eyebrows , the two eyes and above the nose is a small opening which is very subtle path and is ordinarily closed. . This is the called the 3rd eye
Function :
It is the seat of intellect. Just as the naked eye is capable of perceiving sensory light which results in vision , the 3rd eye is seat of thoughts and capable of visioning spiritual Divine Light. It biologically corrosponds to Pituitary gland which controls all the other endocrine glands
Normal Life and 3rd eye : All talents gets exhibited by the intellect when this functioning very well. For all successful people in the fields of arts , music , scientific research , sports , people management etc, a little current of Kundalini Energy must have found a way through the sushumna and lights up the higher faculty in Brain centers for them to be successful. Only people are not aware of it.
In the field of Yoga , we consciously understand the biologic , pyschic and causal mechanism from the 3rd eye meditation.
